Rev7 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I just read the wookiepedia page on the Secret Apprentice, and I don't think that I should have. It revealed a lot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuuKage Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 And what you're doing is called spam Check the link, it's confirmed. a) By Blackman, dropping the leter S. b) By Wookieepedia who immediately altered the page. Knowing some of the terror inquisitors there, it must have been real or they would have undone it already. C) Starkiller is a nem in the original Star Wars script. It was refering to a surname (the whole beiing Anakin Starkiller), so why can't Starkiller be his last name? I've seen plenty of incorrect information on Wookieepedia, so that means nothing. Starkiller also isn't very cool a name, its kinda dumb sounding (whereas Skywalker sounds pretty cool), plus, the name has already been used for Bendak Starkiller, a Mandalorian merc 4000 years before TFU...who as far as we know died without children. XD And species rarely has any effect on the potency of a Force-user's powers, its mostly about training and their own innate power. According to the vids on the site, Vader has basically been experimenting with the Apprentice to see how far one can take the powers of the Force. As for his father, we see him on the first level, where you play as Darth Vader on Kashyyyk. Vader is hunting him as per Order 66, and that's when he finds the SA, the Jedi's son (who is unusually powerful in the Force, like Revan, Sadow, Bane, and the Skywalker family).

Lord Foley Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I actually think he should be the father of a semi-famous expanded universe Jedi. Then there's a solid connection to the rest of the universe, and at the same time, he feels totally original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpentine Cougar Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Maybe Quinlan is a brother or cousin? Starkiller also isn't very cool a name, its kinda dumb sounding (whereas Skywalker sounds pretty cool), plus, the name has already been used for Bendak Starkiller, a Mandalorian merc 4000 years before TFU...who as far as we know died without children. XD "Coolness" is subjective; I think it sounds just as good/the same level of dumbness. And about Bendak, who says he was the last surviving Starkiller? He could have had a whole host of relatives that we never knew about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurges-Ahter Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Why does "Starkiller" sound dumb to you? I agree that Skywalker is cooler, but I don't think Starkiller is "dumb sounding" or "uncool". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@RS Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 It's an okay name, I guess but it could have meaning to the name, I don't know but they choose the name and I'm not going to argue with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuuKage Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 i dunno it just sounds weird to me (so does skywalker, but in a less...weird way XD) i guess i'll put it this way; i can't take a guy named Starkiller seriously. We all know the only reason it was used for Bendak, and i figure it got changed in the first place for a reason, you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Why does "Starkiller" sound dumb to you? I agree that Skywalker is cooler, but I don't think Starkiller is "dumb sounding" or "uncool". Not like its uncool or something, but Starkiller does remind me of KISS. And really, a KISS jedi is not exactly what we need, though that would make Peter Griffin and Family really happy.

TKA-001 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I'm more bugged by the fact that they can't seem to think of a single name without recycling it from something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamqd Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 The only reason I dont like Starkiller is because it comes from a time when star wars wasn't how it is now, have you read what it was originally like and the art work?... it was like a REALLY bad Flash Gordan tv movie! thank god he re wrote it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@RS Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Starkiller is an okay name, but I wonder if they couldn't come up with something better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homiJ15 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Maybe we get to blow up a freaken Star with the force in TFU! lol, still, i hope Starkiller is just a last name cuz it sounds a little cliche'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@RS Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Maybe it would be better as Draefund (means hunter) at least it has some meaning and it makes sense of what he'll be doing in the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ztalker Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Ehm...Luke Skywalker's name isn't just 'Skywalker.' I guess Starkiller is his last name. So...in comparison with Skywalker, Calrisian, Solo and all. Why not? Any cool name could go before it Draefund Starkiller? Not half bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev7 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Well, I think that it is Starkiller because I guess that LA was trying to get the point across that The Secret Apprentice is what Luke would have been if he had turned to the dark side in ESB. I have no idea if someone has already said that... I would much prefer a better name for the secret apprentice. I think that Starkiller is just a little bit too original. I guess that you could say that Starkiller is a cool name, of course depending on your point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 We already know what Luke would be like if he ever goes DS, cause he did... remember thw whole emperor reborn thing? Plus, Luke is what Vader/Anakin would be like LS, though Anakin is much much less of a stinkin' farmboy, despite the cliche pickup lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKA-001 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 We already know what Luke would be like if he ever goes DS, cause he did... remember thew whole emperor reborn thing? I think he was saying that in a non-literal sort of way. Luke as dark-sided in "Dark Empire" didn't really do anything except redeem himself as far as I can remember. The Secret Apprentice, meanwhile, is running around blowing up Σhitloads of stuff and somehow being secret at the same time. In that, I see at least one major difference between the "Dark Empire" Luke and Force Unleashed Starkiller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
