Nancy Allen`` Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 This seems to be the best place to ask this as there'd be nothing in the movies about it. I'm looking at writing a fic and had a couple of questions about our fave Dark Lord of the Sith. 1. Has anyone ever referred to Vader as Anakin? I think maybe only Palpatine had, but maybe someone else in the expanded universe who knows who Vader is. 2. Has anyone taken Vader to task over him killing Padme? And what was his reaction if either instance occured? I'm guessing the answer to both is a big no, no one would be brave enough to do so. But one of the things I was looking at doing, particularly with the Padme thing, was to have old wounds opened up for Vader and portray him in something of a sympathetic light.

Grey Master Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Answers: 1. Never, the Emperor always referred to him as Darth Vader. 2.There was a woman in a comic book who had a lightsaber but was not a Jedi, that asked Vader to train her in the ways of the Sith and that together they will kill Palpatine, Vader cut her in two.

Nancy Allen`` Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 So someone bitching out Vader for killing Padme will probably have no effect on him, if he's that ruthless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachineCult Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 So someone bitching out Vader for killing Padme will probably have no effect on him, if he's that ruthless? It would have an effect on him, it would undoubtedly make him really angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Padme is a weak spot to him, well technically Vader would even wield to anyone who have a believable way of getting Padme back for him... I always wonder why Vader did not ever try to clone a Padme though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Allen`` Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 that's what I was thinking, that it would affect him in a decidedly un Vader like way. Were the Stormtroopers clones? It may be just me but they seemed to have more...wits maybe, than the typical Clone Trooper who only followed orders and fight. Stormtroopers chatted with each other and I remember once they even chatted about one of them competing in swoop races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gug Eyewalker Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Probabaly most storm troopers are clones, but unlike the Jango Fett clone troopers in the clone wars, they come from a variety of templates and are less sucseptible to corruption. Some of them are recruited or conscripted though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to get along with each other instead of standing still like a Clone Trooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Allen`` Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 The Clone Trooper who narrates Battlefront explains this, after a group of Clones turned on the Empire they drew their model not just on Jango Fett but from an increasing amount of participents. Likely top soldiers who they hoped would make top Stormtroopers. "We never did get used to the new guys" was how he put it. Some of them had to have been recruited though, the officers definetly, even if the Clone Commanders had more naunce than the basic grunt the Imperial officer classes were definetly human. Too human, not only did they bicker as seen in ANH once than once Vader took his anger out on them for their mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoiuyWired Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Well by the time of ANH and beyond, only the 501st remain pure Jango Clones, the rest have clone samples from other samples, and sometimes recuits are also used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth kav Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 well we should find out in the new upcoming vader game if thier was new troppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanius Anglesmith Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 well we should find out in the new upcoming vader game if thier was new troppers. We already know. As Nancy said, the trooper you play as in BFII confirms it after the mission on Kamino to stop the clone rebel uprising. After that battle, the Empire began recruiting people and cloning from a variety of templates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gug Eyewalker Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I wonder why no one ever bothered to clone Jedi or force sensitives, except Thrawn cloning Luke and C'baoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Allen`` Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 Realistic answer? Up until Episode 2 the only mention of the Clone Wars was of Obi Wan serving in them. The idea of having cloned warriors was never really brought about. Canon? Now that you mention it if a Guri (Xizor's personal assistent) costs a mere million credits and the Clone Troopers were, I think it's safe to say, if not open knowledge then at least a well known secret, then it's a wonder why this hasn't been explored. A lot of people can afford it: Xizor, Tyris Zann, Jabba the Hutt, even Boba Fett or maybe the empire can dosh up some special clones. But there is one idea why Jedi haven't been, they seem to disappear when they die. Obi Wan, Yoda, others arn't seen to but this might explain why some big Twi'lek fan hadn't cloned Aayla for example.

You mean Tyber Zann, not Tyris Zann. Mmm, my awnser for no one ever bothering cloning Jedi, is that I dont think that the Jedi would let that happen. I mean, who would want to be cloned? Not the Jedi, I tell you. Maybe they dont believe that the Force could be cloned, like the soul. I think that they only used the clones because they were already at disposal and the time was ripe. In peaceful times, that wouldnt have happened, and the Council would have never allowed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Well, from the examples we had, it seems that most Force sensitives go crazy when cloned, then again it might be the process it has been used. The emperor's clone is a special case though, since most people don't make bodys as spirit transfer. The only successful force sensitive clone I can think of is that 88(or whatever number) guy who is actually a defect from a bunch of non force sensitive samples. Then again, why are people not experimenting with it? Lots of people would be happy to do some sentient experiments, and for others, there are loads of creatures to test from. a million cloned jedi ewoks with colorful lightsabers and yelling chubchub on the battlefield...

Gug Eyewalker Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hmm that the Jedi clones go crazy would be a good answer. And they still would retain their force ability...just as Joruus Caboth and Luuke Skywalker did. I dont know; if I were a clone that was force sensitive, I might be a little looney too, confused, or whatever. The cloned emperor, i dunno, i don't think that is really canon anymore; not like it used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy Allen`` Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 Or a kick ass Jan Ors\Aayla Secura team up. THANK YOU FAN MADE SKINS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Darn that would be hot hot hot :3 Kinda of sad that not much is shown about Jan Ors after the JK series(don't see much of her in JA) And for other EU, there is only this (possably infinite) comic about her helping out Katarn, and once again refusing marriage. And, whassup with her cyborg hand anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Allen`` Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 Since Aayla has a strong fan base and a dozen or so comics even before she was in the films, and then only for half a dozen seconds, yeah I'd like to hear more on Jan Ors as well. I'm not sure what if anything there is of her being a double agent but that would be most interesting. Maybe her being more involved in the Dark Forces games (since she was really the whole point in Jedi Outcast). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
