#the dark apprentice

[softpadawan]

Reading Jude Watson's The Dark Rival, the second book in the Jedi Apprentice series, and it's just. I'm howling. I haven't met an author yet who can write Qui-Gon without placing some kind of emphasis on his size:

I swear if I see the words "big man" anywhere in this book I'm going to crack open a bottle of champagne and drink the entire thing myself.

And the Quiobi vibes are off the chart. (This is from Chapter Two.)

Were they sleeping together? Was there only one "sleep-couch"? (Probably, because the Meerians don't have much wealth or fancy accommodations.)

So Qui-Gon wakes from a bad dream and goes to brood at the window while Obi-Wan pretends to be asleep but he really isn't; instead he's watching Qui-Gon and thinking about how badly he wants to be his padawan.

It's adorable. And sad. Poor little Obi-Wan, he just wants a master.

The ramp of the command shuttle landed with a loud thud against the scorching hot sand; sending it flying into the air. Kylo marched down the ramp with two troopers at his side towards the main Outpost where Unkar Plutt stood awaiting with both alarm and confusion on his face.

"We were not expecting guests." He grumbled; as Kylo slowly approached him. A tall dark figure of death shrouded in black and mystery. "To what do I owe the pleasure of such a visit?"

"Silence!" said Kylo in a deep voice; holding up his right hand. There was a tremble in the Force and Plutt felt a slight constriction growing around his jugular. He had heard of this dark apprentice's powers but never had he felt more afraid than he did in this moment.

Sociopath Profile request: Dark Apprentice (Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II)

Alright, here’s the deal. I can do it, but there are a few strings attached.

Me deciding to do this profile means that he’ll have to be included in the Star Wars Sociopath List. Which means that it’ll be a while before I get his completed. And I have to make a new gallery for the characters in some of the video games that also fit the profile that weren’t in the main universe. (And I’ll have to go hunting them down again, too since I’ve forgotten the specific characters I found.

And the reason I didn’t include those characters at the time was the fact that I wanted to keep things within the main universe. (As extensive as it is, it’s still contained in the realm of the films and associated supplementary materials.) Things like The Force Unleashed and Knights of the Old Republic weren’t included because I wasn’t sure if they fit in that universe. Trust me. I considered adding it after the fact but decided against it in the long run.

So I want you to consider that and see if you really still want me to do it because if I do one for, then I have to include all that other work to get it done. And since I have a batch of sociopath profiles that wanna finish before I post the next Female Sociopath gallery and I’ll have a lot of school work to do now, it may be at least a month until I finish them and can even get started on the others (including your request). I really only have enough time for finishing up the individual profiles.

If you still want me to do it, let me know and I’ll start working on everything I need to get that one out to you.

Okay but what if Snoke is the Dark Apprentice from the Dark Side Ending that is not featured on the Wii >:(? Like, for all we know he was just hiding, waiting, and biding his time.

And also getting ever so slightly pissed that they have to name the base after his original.

The main reason I will always, always believe that the playable Starkiller in The Force Unleashed 2 is the original, rather than a clone, is because of the bonus video "Distant Thunder - The Body" in which Darth Vader shows the "Dark Apprentice" (who is a clone) the supposed body of the original Starkiller.

It's my belief that the body that Vader shows the Dark Apprentice is a clone itself. The reason I believe this is that Starkiller was wearing the Jedi Adventure Robe given to him by General Kota at the time of his death, rather than the training outfit he'd worn most of his life. Vader doesn't really strike me as the type who would undress the corpse of his dead apprentice, only to dress it up in the clothes he gave him.

Rather, I think that Vader had a braindead clone made with no Force ability whatsoever, and had it dressed up in one of Starkiller's old outfits, one of the few he'd still have access to.

Really, the only reason this theory can exist is because the development team was too damn lazy to get Starkiller's outfit right in comic-style cutscenes that should have been rendered in the finished game.
