Only Human
Can we be sure he is human? Maybe he is cuztomazable.
 * I doubt it. By this time, the Empire was already Humanocentric. I doubt Vader would have an apprentice of any other species besides Human. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 11:53, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It's already confirmed that he will not be customisable and will be a human guy with a fixed name. Kuralyov 22:37, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Can't blame 'em for keeping the Wookieepedian's interests at heart. Though I'm sure there's going to be another game that's going to have a selectable gender that's going to bring back the flame and edit wars once again. DAWUSS 14:22, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Now wait a second, after what happened in End Game, Drake apparently joining with Vader after Ekria's supposed death, it's a possibility Vader's apprentice could be Drake. It's merely a possiblity, not a probability.RushinSundaws 15:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Good point. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 18:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know. Having read Drake's page, it almost seems painfully obvious that he must be Vader's apprentice. Down to the black hair and the mention of cuffs... plus the cliff-hangeresque ending of the article. I guess we'll see, won't we? Plus, I don't know why LA would be witholding the player character's name unless they really wanted it to be a surprise. --Israi 18:35, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I agree that a very likely candidate is Lo'gaan. But I suppose we'll find out soon enough. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 19:20, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Despite both Drake and Ferus supposedly turning to the Dark Side right before Force Unleashed starts, the Secret Apprentice doesn't look much like either of them. From the concept art and trailer, he is close to bald. Telos 21:36, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Formerly a Jedi/Padawan?
This picture of the new Unleashed figures from Hasbro shows what is commonly referred to as a "unidentified young male Jedi" shown with other Force Unleashed characters. Given the figure's remarkable similarity to this image of the secret apprentice in Game Informer, especially in terms of what they are wearing (green-hued outfit, bared forearms, gloves, silver item on the torso), it's not a complete stretch of the imagination to say that the unidentified Jedi and the secret apprentice are one in the same. If this is the case, the fact that he is holding a blue lightsaber in the first picture may indicate that he was either a Jedi or Padawan during the Clone Wars. If you take a look at the other pictures in the same gallery, you will also notice that he is grouped in the same foursome as General Kota, the Zabrak Jedi, and Palpatine... not Vader, Juno Eclipse, and the two Shadow Guards. (Unleashed figures are, I understand, sold in sets of four.)

This may explain why so many promotional images and videos have featured the PC beating up on stormtroopers: It seems plausible that the character starts out on the run from the Empire, and only after demonstrating significant Dark Side abilities does Vader express interest in taking him as an apprentice. I would go further to speculate that General Kota is the character's Jedi master, but I have no evidence upon which to base that statement, simply my own inclinations. --Israi 18:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * In all likelihood, Vader's apprentice was a former Jedi Padawan. We just need it to be stated officially in words first. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 20:19, 24 February 2007 (UTC)


 * The Apprentice is Ferus Olin, its so obvious. He looks a damn lot like him, Last of the Jedi finishes just before this starts, in Secret Weapon Ferus actually pledges himself to the Dark Side, Palps knows Vader doesn't like Ferus. Who's to say Vader doesn't fake Ferus' death and secretly make him his Apprentice? Reveals his true identity says something about helping the Galaxy get back to the way it was, and boom, there you have it. aeods
 * I don't think it's Ferus. He doesn't have the same hair, and the image of the apprentice doesn't look much like Ferus in any respects. Plus, I just can't picture Ferus working as Vader's apprentice after what he did to Roan. It seems he is learning more from Palpatine than from Vader, and I don't think Vader would train Ferus due to their past disagreements in the Jedi Order. 24.131.128.231 01:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It can't be Ferus, because then Palpatine would have known. Palpatine doesn't know about Vader's apprentice. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) (Record of Imperial Service) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 11:25, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * i think you are all wrong i think it will be a new character that we dont know about and i dont think you start as a jedi if you did why would it say "Vaders Secret Apprentice" i think you can turn from the sith and become a jedi later on Mevan 17:11, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Suit
Doesn't his clothes appear similat to Revan's? Not entirely, but somewhat? Jango Fett  ( Contact a Mandalorian ) Lord Patrick 02:22, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I was thinking the same thing, actually. Throw a mask on there and, at first glance, they'd be identical. Undoubtedly, the developers are hoping to capitalize off the immense success of KOTOR and the popularity of Revan. Fans love mysterious, ridiculously powerful Sith characters in robes. --Israi 17:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh goodness.. I just hope this game doesn't inspire the hordes of retarded fanboys to claim Revan can beat Mr Sidious (Most powerful Sith Lord, per NEC and DE sourcebook) since this guy can (possibly). As if KOTOR II didn't ruin his character enough with "Revan is teh best as everything lolz!" and "Revan became a Sith 2 save teh Galaxy!1!1". Don't get me wrong, though, I like Revan, and his fashion sense is matched only by Vader's. But let's face it, Star Wars started with such a Sith. Lord Patrick 01:01, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Remember, there's only one canonical ending, which won't result in the apprentice becoming more powerful than Vader or Palpatine. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 02:26, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I know. It just that if this guy COULD defeat Palpy, that opens the door for idiot fanboys to claim that Revan/other fanboy idol could too. But I'm sorry for going off topic. Let's get back to the article. Lord Patrick 03:32, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * One last thing: Where did this "Revan's ability = this apprentice's ability" come from? &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 12:06, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It's more that, as Architect put it, if this man can kill Palpy/Vader, then fanboys will claim Revan can too, since based on game mechanics, this guy seems to roughly have the same abilities. Lord Patrick 21:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I guess I just don't see why it would matter if Revan could or could not theoretically beat Palpatine. That's like pondering whether Alexander the Great was a better general than George Patton. Why does it matter? It doesn't. Even if Revan could have beaten Palpatine, he didn't. Period. Their relative power is totally irrelevant to either character or to their real accomplishments. --Israi 18:58, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

This is a game that shows another veiw of the force. In this game, every force-user has jacked up powers. Can't wait to see vader's powers :). Heck, the force could have been like this the whole time in the star wars universe, its just that the last-gen video games were limited, actors don't have the force, and visual effects can only go so far in movies. --216.210.97.69 23:05, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Apparently, he's not a Sith
Taken from the Gamespot coverage "We had to get especially nerdy and ask how Darth Vader could take on an apprentice when he is himself the Sith apprentice to Emperor Palpatine. While your character is plenty evil-looking and wields a red lightsaber, company reps were quick to point out that he isn't a Sith at all." --LightWarden 04:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Dark Jedi, then. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 11:22, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Either that or a Dark Side Adept or whatever the heck you call those people... DAWUSS 14:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, by definition, he was both a Dark Side Adept and a Dark Jedi. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 20:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay. According to the rule of two, he can't "officially" be a Sith. But according to that rule, Darth Vader can't have an apprentice. He broke the rule. Just like the Emperor did with Mara Jade (etc.). So come on. Do we have to call every evil Force-wielder who's not part of the current official couple a "Dark Jedi?" This dude's Darth Vader's apprentice. He's Sith. Unless he's got the "Darth" title, he's not a Sith Lord, but he's still a Sith. He's apprenticed to a Sith Lord, not to a "Dark Jedi Master." Therefore, he's not a "Dark Jedi." He's a Sith. A "Dark Jedi" is a Jedi who turned evil. Typically, they use both light-side and dark-side abilities because they were trained as Jedi, so that's what they know. A Sith is someone who was trained by a Sith Lord. I'm so sick of people sticking the label "Dark Jedi" on every non-good force-user. Unless you were apprenticed to a Jedi Master, you are not a Jedi. You're not a light Jedi. You're not a dark Jedi. You're not a black Jedi or a mauve Jedi. I don't care what the video game company says. We know better. If you're apprenticed to a Sith Lord, you're a Sith. End of story.--Thorvindr 12:11, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Does Tao fit in with this?
Tao Even though the article, at this point, is considered of dubious canonicity, how does Tao fit in with this? Tao was a former Jedi who was taken by Vader to become his apprentice. While it was in Star Wars Manga 1 and Star Wars Manga 2, I'm not sure if this conflicts or not. User: Mak Manto

I'm guessing that Vader could have taken another apprentice after this one died. Perhaps the canonical ending is that Sidious/Vader eventually kills him.

Uh. Ferus? Ok.
There is almost no evidence that the apprentice is Ferus... there is just as much evidence, if not more, that the character is Drake Lo'gaan. We also have no idea at what point between the rise of the Empire and the Battle of Yavin that FU is actually set, so there is no way to know whether or not a certain book is set "just before" the game.

It is also implied that Vader's apprentice is secret from the emperor, which contradicts what we know about Ferus, who is said to serve Palpatine. More importantly, none of these theories are anything but fan speculation. I am removing the bit about the possibility of the apprentice being Ferus. It isn't even written well, for pete's sake. Israi 00:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

ORRR your harsh, but I agree User:Kami-Sama
 * Yeah, it's just speculation. It doesn't belong here. I personally am thinking it might be a totally new character. Maybe he becomes Darth Krayt (seriously, how weird would that be)!! Chack Jadson 19:20, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Extremely weird. User:Kami-Sama

I was just about to say, it is possible that he IS Ferus. Read the most recent Last of the Jedi book. Spoiler:He becomes Palpatine's apprentice. Is it possible he's transferred over to Vader?--1upD 21:17, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


 * As I said before, it is clear from what little we know of the game that this is Vader's secret apprentice, who is supposed to help Vader overthrow the emperor, who is supposed to go so far to concealing his identity that he even kills Imperial witnesses. Every indication is that this guy is a secret from Palpatine.--Israi 16:34, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

perhaps it's a bran new character User:Kami-Sama


 * Um, a date (ABY/BBY) for the novel based on the game is set, meaning a date for the game is set, and that date is just after the Last of the Jedi series finishes. Ferus joins the Empire in The Secret Weapon, and the Apprentice looks a lot like Ferus. Vader faking Ferus' death would wipe him from Palpatine's radar when he has people like Drake Lo'gan he could be potentially melding. Vader trains Ferus in secret, perhaps revealing he was Anakin, and hates the Empire just as much as Ferus. Ferus believes him, and together, Vader trains Ferus to be his secret weapon.

Overthrow Palpatine?
Vader hoped to use him to eventually overthrow Emperor Palpatine...Where did this come from? Does any source say this? I've already tagged it for sourcing in the article, but could somebody clarify where this comes from? It doesn't sound like the sort of thing Vader would do... Unit 8311 20:38, 16 June 2007 (UTC) 2007 (UTC)
 * "It doesn't sound like the sort of thing Vader would do". You might want to watch The Empire Strikes Back, then, especially the part when Vader tells Luke that if he joins him, they could overthrow Palpatine and rule the Galaxy. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 22:15, 16 June
 * Or you could watch Revenge of the Sith where Anakin tells Padme he could defeat the Emperor so they could rule the galaxy together.- Darth Homer 03:51, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Whether Vader would want to overthrow the Emperor or not is beside the point. I'm asking where this comes from. A link to something would do just fine. Unit 8311 20:50, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * "Whether Vader would want to overthrow the Emperor or not is beside the point". Why, if you're the one who said Vader wouldn't do such a thing in the first place? &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 23:55, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The point of the question is what source says that Vader intended to use this apprentice to overthrow Palpatine. For all we know, he could have been simply using him to exterminate the Jedi and then kill him himself. -- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|20px]] Talk 00:32, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * That could be true. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 14:41, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Redemption makes a good point. In Dark Lord, Vader is shown to have much more interest than Palpatine in killing the remaining Jedi. Unit 8311 14:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Then the best bet for now is to simply remove it. I'll do so now. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 14:55, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Good. Unit 8311 15:04, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The game will most likely answer the question of whether or not Vader intended to replace Palpatine. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 15:09, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Any more information you guys. If not you'll have more when you do I like Vader's Apprentice, he looks awwwwsssom!--Joncdoyle 13:44, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

On one of the things I saw, I think I saw you could make choices, kind of like mercinaries or some thing (I guess), is that true.--Joncdoyle 14:35, 20 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, I thought I should mention that in the official game site, under the Apprentice's biography, it states that it's Vaders' hope that he will help him overthrow Palps. --Sauron18 08:02, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Empire magazine...
In a recent issue celebrating SW's 30th anniversary, Empire film magazine claimed that this guy was a youngling spared by Vader at the Jedi temple massacre. Do any other source state this? Unit 8311 16:09, 25 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I highly doubt this information was canon. However, it seems that he was Vader's prisoner in some way, when it shows art clips [| on the official game site] of the Apprentice in chains with Vader standing behind him.StarWarsDude 01:47, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Apprentice's Elastic Gender
we have pre vis footage of a male human and a female human "unleashing" if you will, that to me, tells me its gonna be a new characer ala jadenn korr, who can morph female/male within cannnonicity.

75.82.33.161
 * I'm pretty sure the female you refer to is a separate character and not Vader's apprentice. I believe Vader's apprentice can only be male in the game. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 01:08, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, you have to remember that that trailer was just to show the concept of the game; just what they were aiming for. It had nothing to do with the plot. Toasty McGrath 23:31, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Customizable Saber style
Will you be able to choose whether the Apprentice uses Jar'Kai, a saberstaff, and a single lightsaber?--Jedi Kasra 09:50, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Teemto 14:10, 1 August 2007
 * Since it's pretty sure that the apprentices gender and species will not be customable I doubt that his lightsaber style will be either, but who knows ;D


 * It should probably be mentioned that he has a distinctive underhand lightsaber style though. Look at the way he holds his lightsaber.  Has anyone else used it that way?  Is there a name for this style?  Jedigeneral
 * Thats the style Adi Gallia used. The style is called Shien, and the Shien article mentions that the Apprentice might use it. 141.154.164.67 02:40, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * You know, the Jedi sure don't have a lot of imagination in naming lightsaber styles. They have 2 Shiens, 2 Nimans, etc.  Anyway, maybe something should be said about the lightsaber style on his page. Jedigeneral
 * No; not until we have confirmation. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 00:42, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Doesn't Vos use that sort of style often? It sure looks like it in a lot of the comics. Hobbes15 ( Tiger Headquarters ) 03:17, 20 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Adi's Shein is not the same as the Form V version. It is merely the art of holding the saber with a reversed grip. It gives an unorthodox spin on a form. It is not a true form of saber combat. It is observed than many Form IV and Form V apply this discipline. It's not really some super secret advanced form that few know. Some use it more than others but it is not special. You merely reverse your grip...that is it. I am amused that we pretend to not know when we really do from simply observing the Secret Apprentice fighting. It truly is amusing. "We can't know for sure...." yes we can. It's like with Aayla Secura...only one pic in a guide book illustrates her using a Form V opening stance, yet in every depiction of her fighting, she uses Form IV. Yet people want to put alot of weight into one single depiction when really opening stances tell you nothing about the form someone uses. Plus it truly doesn't matter what form who uses and what not...each Jedi learn the basics for each form, and usually pick one that fits their personality, and focus on mastery of that form. All in all...why not wait until the game comes out before we put anything about the lightsaber form...will it really kill us to wait? When, and if it is confirmed, we need not put "might" when it is acutely obvious that he, in fact, does use the style. It is intellectually insulting. Darth Byss 13:48, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Darth
Will the name that currently cant be stated be one of the established future Darths.Darth Tenebrous, Darth Karnage, or Darth Desolous. KickAssJedi 07:45, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I doubt it very much. Unit 8311 07:49, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Vader's apprentice isn't a Sith, so he wouldn't officially have a "Darth" name. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 12:08, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * He is a Sith Apprentice, IIRC. And wasn't Darth Maul a Sith while Darth Plagueis was still alive? VT-16 14:16, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * No, IIRC Plagueis was dead when Sidious recruited Maul. Unit 8311 15:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * VT: He's not a Sith apprentice. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 16:59, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually Darth Sidious's articlee states that he was secretly training maul BEFORE he killed plaugeis, so it is possible.-KickAssJedi 11:53, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Vader's apprentice to Vader is like Maul to Palpatine&mdash;they're both unofficial Sith apprentices being trained by their masters to become their actual Sith apprentices when their masters' masters are killed. In the end, Maul becomes an actual Sith apprentice when Palpatine kills Plagueis. The same can't be said for Vader's apprentice. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 12:36, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Just like Jerec is not called Darth Jerec.-Darth Homer 03:39, 16 August 2007 (UTC)"
 * It's weird really. I see it like this, he's "a Sith apprentice" - in that he is being taught the ways of the Sith - but he's not "The Sith Apprentice" (who is also a Dark Lord of the Sith in Bane's order). We've seen that both Palps and Vader are the sort to play a little fast-and-loose with the Rule of Two... so perhaps Vader could interpret Bane's command as "there should be only two Dark Lords of the Sith" or something? It's an incorrect interpretation, but that's how these things go - and besides he's already *broken* the rule of two by teaching the kid all of this stuff (Bane didn't say, "there should only be two "official" Sith. He said there should be only two who know the ways of the Sith, period."), so maybe he'll give him a Darth name 'n all. I can quite easily see the SA being "Darth Desolous"... he is a "Force wrecking ball" after all.  But yeah, who knows? Continuity wise it's a bit "meh", but in terms of getting the general public to think "cool, I'm playing a Darth!" it works.  You never know what they'll do. (Ulicus 09:07, 4 October 2007 (UTC))

eye and hair color
I'd like to know who added the eye and hair color and why they did so. For one thing, his hair appears to be light brown in this image, and in any case we cannot be sure whether it is black or brown until we get better-quality images. Second, I have yet to see an image clear or close enough to actually show a verifiable eye color. So I suggest we remove these items until we can verify them with a greater degree of certainty. Israi 20:42, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Uh, I don't see the apprentice in the image you provided. Besides, from what I've seen, his hair looks to be black and his eyes to be brown. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 22:21, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * He is on the bottom, second from the left. It is obviously him from the way he is dressed and the fact that he has ankle cuffs, plus the mere fact that he is packaged with other Force Unleashed characters. And I doubt you have seen any more images of him than I have and he appears to me to have dark brown hair, and it is completely impossible to tell the color of his eyes from any of them. It may very well turn out that his hair is supposed to be black and his eyes brown, but at this point it's clearly just speculation on our part and I think it should be removed from the article until we can verify it. Israi 00:16, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) The figure you are incorrectly referring to as the Secret Apprentice is a figure of Maris Brood. Even if you meant second from the right, that figure doesn't look like the apprentice. 2) The Secret Apprentice has appeared in at least one trailer, and I see black hair and brown eyes on the apprentice in that trailer. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 12:39, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, you're right, I was actually referring to the second from the right. And if you've really looked very closely at him in the trailers and so on, you would notice that he is wearing the exact same outfit, from the gloved hands and bare forearms to the metal shoulder-cover things, the greenish color, the knee-length jacket, and so on. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to deduce that this figure, packaged with Kota and Mariss Brood and Palps, is the Secret Apprentice. And like I've said before, I've seen the same trailers and images you have, and they are nowhere near good enough in quality to show that his hair is anything other than generically dark, and there is nothing you can tell about his eyes. The screencap featured in the bottom of the article right now represents the best image we've seen of the Apprentice in action and there is no way to tell the color of his eyes from it, nor say for certain whether his hair is black or just some shade of brown. Israi 01:06, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * That figure doesn't look like the apprentice at all. In all likelihood, it's some other Jedi that's in the game that hasn't been introduced yet. And as I said before, the trailer shows that his hair is black and his eyes are brown. Perhaps you haven't seen all the images and trailers I have. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 11:05, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Just because I enjoy being right, I thought I'd post this link which proves that the figure is, actually, the Secret Apprentice... with light brown hair. Oh snap. Israi 04:54, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Vaders Apprentice Redeemed

 * And until you can provide a source, please do not add that information to the Shaak-Ti article. - JMAS 17:47, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Overpowered?
Doesnt the apprentice seem a bit overpowered? The official trailer for the game shows him bringing an entire star destroyer down and stopping it just before it hits him. Even Yoda is shown in Episode II to exert a fair amount of effort just keeping that metal cylinder from falling on Obi-wan and anakin, so how is it that the apprentice can pull down a ship weighing thousands of times more than that cylinder? Jillopi 15:17, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually, he just altered it's course. he made it angle towards the ground, and it crashed. yoda did something similar in the clone wars cartoon, which is canon. He is not really overpowered, it's just we arent used to seeing the kind of things the force can really do, because the movies can't really show that. imagine trying to make force speed or force repulce look realistic in a movie! George says that this is what the force is really like, and they use it this way in the books, which are canon.

Just to Add The star destroyer isnt in orbit it is in the planets atmosphere meaning it had gravity against its engines so it would be using all its capacity to keep it flying, it didnt require a great deal of force power to pull it down, the thrusters and gravity did the rest, and as the clip shows the apprentice used/struggled more energy to stop it crushing him than he did to pull it off course

Can someone change that he didn't pull the destroyer out of the air, but that he made it angle downward and slowed it down when it hit the ground, instead of saying he pulled it out of the air? cause he didn't.--216.210.97.64 21:25, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Confusing sentence
"Though it is unlikely, Vader suspected that his apprentice would fall in love with the pilot."

Could someone please clarify this statement? Is it unlikely that Vader suspected his apprentice would fall in love with the pilot, or unlikely that the apprentice would fall in love with the pilot? I'm not sure either can be proven from what we know about the game now, but in any case this sentence needs to be edited for clarity. Israi 04:47, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Similarities to Assassins Creed

 * Is it just me, or is he almost the same character model as Altair, except different colored robes?

Only the hood looks similar, and there are customizable costumes he gets after each level. And his hood dosn't cover as much of his face.

Father

 * In one of the cheat codes enclosed with Hasbro's unleashed battlepacks, it says that if you enter the word wookiee, you will get his father's costume. So the father might be someone we already know. Right?JediBob 22:11, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I was browsing the Rebelscum forums, and according the the packaging of the Secret Apprentice Evolutions set, his father was a fallen Jedi. Now we have to wait and see what is meant by 'fallen'... Sith Alchemy 101 22:12, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * RebelTrooper1138, of Rebelscum, has noted that the SA may be the son of Dooku. I like this theory, and support it's plausibility. 63.64.127.15 21:57, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Name
Do we even know if he has a name? or is it going to be like Knights of the Old Republic?JediBob 22:11, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * He indeed has a name; they're just not ready to reveal it yet. Tam 10:03, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

here is another tidbit from the VANITY FAIR article:

>The prologue allows the gamer to play Darth Vader, who has gone to Kashyyyk, the Wookiee home planet, to hunt down a recalcitrant Jedi.

So speculation that this renegade Jedi is Quinlan Vos seems spot on especially considering that the leader of the team designing the video game is Haden Blackman who has written several Star Wars: Republic comics and Quinlan was last seen on Kashyyyk.

In addition, this also lends substantial credence to the notion that Vader's Secret Apprentice is Korto Vos. It is conceivable that Vader hunts down and kills Quinlan only to find Quinlan's child Korto, and raises the boy as his own, twisted apprentice.

You heard it hear first.

IDAHO


 * There is one glaring problem with the apprentice as Korto Vos, though. Korto Vos was born in 18 BBY, making him the same age as Luke Skywalker. Since Force Unleashed is presumably set very shortly after the birth of the Empire, and in any case before the Battle of Yavin, this would make the secret apprentice rather ridiculously young, no older than his mid-teens, during the game. Israi 03:11, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

and "While he does Vader's bidding, he discovers clues to his long buried past and must choose which path he is to follow" JediBob 01:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC) 76.21.31.237 19:47, 3 March 2008 (UTC)I know this is really out there but could he possibly be Kad/Venku from the Republic Commando books. It just came up when I was rereading True Colors.
 * I just read the following in Star Wars Insider: "For much of the video game's story, the apprentice doesnt even have a name"
 * I seriously doubt that the apprentice will turn out to be someone who's been seen before. -MPK 21:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Rahm's pupil
I'm a lot confused here, guys. When I've read that one of the Apprentice's masters was Rahm Kota, does that mean that he was his mentor before the raid of the Jedi Temple was attacked or is it when he gets redeemed? 72.82.4.177 03:27, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Curious...
Has anyone else noticed that in the "Evolutions" set featuring the Apprentice, that the mask he wears for the so-called "Sith Lord" figure of him looks an awful lot like Revan's, if in appearance only. Could also be a dead Mandalorians.--Zhran 03:29, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
