Ztalker Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Allright. I was doing some internets surfing, when I found out about some miniatures from Lego and Hasbro. They feature (near dead/badly damaged) Vader and the Secret Apprentice. So...what the HELL is going to happen in this game that gives Vader and the Apprentice this kind of injuries? Speculate at will!! PS: Also, Gamespot article on TFU. You can equip the cloths you like and 'pimp' your saber! Click me Anyways...if you look at the hasbro miniature, you can see Anakin isn't that old...not as old as the unmasked Episode 6 version at least... EDIT: Sorry about the 56k in the title. Was planning on adding the picture from the link... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamqd Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I'm guessing that Vader is having to fight to create the Empire we see in the OT, in the field against dissident systems and worlds that still oppose the Empire, also, depending on how long it is after EPIII he may still be getting used to his armor and lack of legs/force potential, so he could just be getting battered a bit. As the Apprentice is a secret, he wont have any imperial support so he'll be fighting garrisons single handedly, so there could be a few scrapes and bruises along the way. Edit: 666.....

Jeff Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 lol adamqd I've seen the Vader battle-damaged figure before but I have no idea what causes those kinds of injuries to him and I'd rather not find out till I'm playing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev7 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I saw something on this at starwars.com one day, and there was an article saying that there was an incident that nearly cost Vader his life, and that is what the action figure of Darth Vader is showing. But we will only know what really happen once the game is going to come out and we play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 A fight between Vader and the Apprentice... outside the training spar? Hmm... If the Apprentice can take an ISD down manipulating the Force, he probably can crush an old, mechanical Sith Lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpentine Cougar Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 If the Apprentice can take an ISD down manipulating the Force, he probably can crush an old, mechanical Sith Lord. Except he won't be all that old during the game, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see what a carnage Vader makes of the operating room in Episode 3...and how he kills a Jedi conclave a few weeks later....the apprentice might not live to tell... Anyways, since the tale is about 'redemption' and (presuming) Leia makes an appearance (several sources confirm this), I think our Ashtmatic Sith Lord might start in the light path a bit...and together with the apprentice do one last deed of good before being torn to pieces. Allas, he survives and the possible torture by Palpatine would make him evil for the remainder of his life....but that's wishfull thinking of my part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKA-001 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 If that happens, I'm going to burn every Lucasarts product I own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Maybe its like Kingdom Hearts2, whenever you die there is a chance that you turn into Vader and kick some butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDoe 2.0 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm guessing that the Emperor is about to find out about Vader's Apprentice and Vader decides to kill him or a small group of Jedi gang up on Vader or the apprentice, either way it looks like the fight was intense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ztalker Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 In Kingdom Hearts 2, instead of seeing the 'gamer over' or 'continue' screen when dying, sometimes King Mickey would jump in and give the enemy a beating. Sort of an...last chance. It didn't happen many times though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev7 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 [align=center]^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^[/align] Ouch. Well, we certainly know that there is going to be some pretty intense fighting. I can't wait to play TFU! I think that it will be a great, fun game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Actually I am hoping they have some fun costumes you can play with, like that funny Panda suit from OniMusha or something. A nice black suit would be nice, or bond-style tux... or go commando... How about dude in a pink tutu. Well, you get Soul Caliur of Namco where you get Star Wars hidden character. Maybe this time you get it the other way round and have Pac-man as hidden character. Think about Pac-man with the force and what not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ztalker Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Actually, there are some 'Force Unleashed' cards or something that contain codes you can use in-game. 'Wookie' and 'lightsaber' would get you a new costume and a stronger saber. So...that pink Tutu is out there...somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ztalker Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 The Hidden Apprentice said: check the last one! it says that you can unlock the APPRENTICE'S FATHER Custom!!! do you think this is a new hint? or is it just ...well dont know! this is confusing "Secret Apprentice who has no name yet....I am your father...TOO!" *mechanical breathing device* No, without the jokes. The Force runs strong through several families. We got the Skywalkers, Quel-Droma's, Sunriders etc. If the apprentice's father was a Jedi (assuming the unlock costume won't be a bankers suit of a garbage man jumpsuit...or the Pink Tutu of Death) it might point us to someone we know from the movies or expanded Universe. It might indeed be a hint like you said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamqd Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Son of Obi-Wan?..... another topic, Found this pic of the Secret apprentice Evolution toy pack, I guess it is the 3 possible outcomes of the game, Neutral, Lightside, darkside Storyline... Also found a pic of the finished toy packaging for the beat-up Vader, shows us its not that long after EPIII, judging by his exposed face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
