Unidentified Knight of the Sith

This unknown black-robed Sith, flying a Banta Four starfighter discovered and attacked Kane Starkiller and his sons on the Fourth Moon of Utapau.

He wore a face mask and black robes, and carried a red-bladed lazersword. He was about 7 feet tall.

This Sith was able to surprise the Jedi and swiftly killed Deak. However, his melee skills were no match for Kane, a Jedi Master.

Behind the scenes

 * The Sith has no lines.


 * This character became the basis for numerous others in later drafts and the films. His appearance seems to be the origin of Darth Vader, though Vader appears as a distinct minor character in the draft. His ambush of Deak closely resembles the Tusken Raider who got a jump on Luke Skywalker in A New Hope. Aspects of this character also resemble Darth Maul on Tatooine in The Phantom Menace.
