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? Link to post Share on other sites

R.CAllen 683 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Tank 3,232 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I can never decide if the idea that Vader was a clone of Anakin would have been cool or stupid. Link to post Share on other sites
Zathras 379 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Why would a clone of Vader need a suit? Link to post Share on other sites
R.CAllen 683 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 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 post Share on other sites

The Choc 1,545 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 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 post Share on other sites
Destiny Skywalker 1,841 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 12 hours ago, Dark Wader said: It’s been so long since I read them, but was he insane before cloned or was it that cloned force users had a tendency to go insane? 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 post Share on other sites

Fozzie 6,309 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 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 post Share on other sites

Zerimar Nyliram 362 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 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 post Share on other sites
