Fuzzy memories at this point, but wasn't there actual legit rumors that OB-1 was a clone way way back? Or at the very least, a scrapped story idea?

R.CAllen Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 From memory alone : improperly manufactured and/or unstable clones tend to have a distinctive slur to their speech so the convention of adding an additional vowel ('Luuke' 'Joruus') to the name of a clone comes from that. Also from memory alone : there's a clone of Darth Vader, he was made on Dantooine, Darth Vader fights him and kills him, it was in one of the Galaxy of Fear books.

Tank Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I can never decide if the idea that Vader was a clone of Anakin would have been cool or stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.CAllen Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I do not remember and I am not going to go to the wiki and check. You're on your own there. But I'm pretty sure there was some sort of explanation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 How could anyone ever know if it was the real Vader that won if they’re both in the suit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Choc Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Ask him his opinion of sand. The clone, having not grown up on Tatooine would likely have no real opinion. Whereas we know the real Anakin's opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an idea I really liked in those books, a good explanation for why we don’t see cloned Jedi even before the prequels. I think it was the cloning process, but the OG was a megalomaniac, so, not far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 For clones that went through an accelerated growth process, the Force made them go insane. That’s why Thrawn needed his anti-Force lizards to build an army of clones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerimar Nyliram Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 The Vader clone story was in a children's book. It was never explained why he needed the suit, or if he was a legit clone or not, or what was really going on. All it said was that he did not have the audible mechanical breathing that Vader did. It's a kids' book so it doesn't try to be something more than it is, though one can speculate that it may have been a droid, a brainwashed prisoner with PTSD, or any number of things. And I like the ysalamiri, thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
