Cade Skywalker

Cade Skywalker was a bounty hunter, and a former Jedi and pirate. He was the son of Kol Skywalker and a direct descendant of Anakin Skywalker (presumably via Anakin's grandson, Ben).

Biography
The son of a powerful member of the Jedi Council, Cade was trained as a Jedi from an early age. Eventually he was apprenticed to his father's former apprentice Wolf Sazen. After the Massacre at Ossus, Pirates forced Cade abandon the Jedi lifestyle, hiding both his last name and his Jedi ability from those who knew him, even his closest associates.

Around the year 130 ABY, Cade was captain of the Mynock, and was formerly apprenticed to the pirate Rav (who gave him his symbol, the Bloody Bones). The Mynock's crew included Deliah Blue, ship's mechanic, and copilot Jariah Syn. Cade also had a collection of antique and modified blasters, his favorite being the Rawk chopped special, a custom piece built for him by chief mechanic of the Selonian Shipyards, "Bantha" Rawk. He also wore trousers that resemble those worn by Darth Vader.

One of Cade's favorite haunts was Rik's Cantina on Coruscant, a notorious meeting place for various underworld denizens. Cade was also known to be a user of spice.

Behind the scenes

 * In early iterations of the Star Wars script, the character that became Luke Skywalker had the first name Kane. However, the name Cade also suggests Latin root cadere, "to fall", which is the root of the English word "chance", and also of "cadence", meaning rythm, like a marching beat, while in music a cadenza (the Italian form of "cadence") is also, specifically, a solo. A "cade" can also be an abandoned young animal raised as a pet.
 * In one of the images provided, Cade is using Han Solo's DL-44 heavy blaster pistol from A New Hope, Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber from The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, the lower half of Darth Vader's armor, the upper half of Boba Fett's armor, and the same style of cloak/coat worn by Luke Skywalker and the clone Emperor in the Dark Empire series.
