Talk:Galen Marek

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.png|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)
 * Now we just need the name. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 22:44, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Dang, and I was looking forward to all the fun that came with a customizable gender (see Revan and The Exile) DAWUSS 02:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, this avoids pointless gender discussions. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 13:29, 15 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)
 * Definitely. It's called KotOR III. ;) &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 14:26, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * His name is Drake Lo'gaan. ;) .  .  .  .  22:22, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you have a source for that?Telos 05:34, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It was a joke. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 14:51, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * After what Vader did to Zonder, I doubt that would happen. ;) &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 22:31, 18 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.png|20px]] 18:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Selected from the Shadow Guards' ranks?
Do you think he may have been a Shadow Guard that showed promise to Vader? Inigo Montoya 21:45, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I doubt it. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 22:31, 18 February 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.png|20px]] 20:19, 24 February 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)
 * Well, I suppose one of the non-canonical endings will be with Vader's apprentice killing Palpatine. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 02:18, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's what I'm concerned about. This guy summed it up well (not me); http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=46185&pid=748784&mode=threaded&start=#entry748784
 * 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.png|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.png|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)
 * Let's not assume too much now. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 22:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * We have to remember this game will not be a RPG Kal-El
