Darth Vader

Wouldn’t it make more sense for the new character to be Darth Vader (Anakin) than General Skywalker? Darth Vader (Anakin) would have to get the 501st tag because that’s who he led into the Jedi Temple. He’d also have a dark side tag, which won’t affect Ahsoka or the Clones abilities...I don’t believe.

General Skywalker seems redundant...

From a planning standpoint you’d do the Darth Vader (Anakin) Legendary Encounter first. Then close out The Clone Wars with Master Kenobi Legendary event. Seems logical to me.

    This seems the most likely, and just makes the most sense. A "Fallen Anakin" makes no sense, plus there really isn't a such thing as "Fallen Anakin" he wasn't even like that for long and he was already named Darth Vader pretty much immediately by Palpatine. If you ask me, I don't think it will be anyone the community theorizes over, but that's just me, but if so a General Anakin would seem most likely because of LSTB, that's pretty much the only reason.

    The problem for me here is that JKA is General Anakin. There really is no moment on screen when the two are not one in the same. Attack of Clones has Padewan Anakin and by the Revenge of the Sith he is already General Skywalker then Vader. Clone wars cartoon (the cannon one) already has him as General Skywalker except possibly the very first episodes but certainly within season one. All jedi Knights were it seems generals and all padewan were commanders from memory. It really wouldn’t make sense to have exactly the same character twice.

    Worth that Plo Koon was one of the most prominent characters commanding Clones and also has Ashoka connection. Finally as a dark side to be won Pon Krell would be pretty great.


    Yes, thats very true.

    Considering that STH and raid Han are virtually the same character, I wouldn't exclude a potential General Skywalker based on this argument.

    Lord Vader was his fallen title before he was Borg or Darth. Many sith never see the Darth tag... We want him they know it, maybe next year. They rolled out two revans almost simultaneously yet neither of them were the one we requested. There's 11 Hans and 8 chewies so some day.


    Darth means dark lord of the sith I believe.

    Everybody is speculating about Anakin, but don't forget that there already exists a version of Padawan Anakin in the game now. He could be brought in as a playable character, and then he and Padmé could be needed to unlock JarJar. At least I would celebrate that, even though I'll have to wait for the next Padmé event. B)

    Why do you people want General Anakin? Jedi Knight Anakin IS General Anakin. It’s not a different time in his life, he doesn’t use any different abilities or skills, and it is far more redundant than a Vader in a suit and a Vader without.

    You’re talking about a kid who has only just thrown his life into turmoil (Lord Vader) vs a hardened man driven by years of hatred, pain, and loss.

    How you can argue that Anakins are more unique than Vaders is beyond me.

    But we already have Jedi Knight Anakin - who at the time was General Skywalker - adding "General Skywalker" now is completely stupid.

    What we don't have is Padawan Anakin - give him two sabers (blue & green) as he appears at the end of E2.

    We also should get "Lord Vader" - fallen Anakin (with cloak and hood).


    Fallen Anakin was still General Skywalker too. It was all the other generals who were stripped of rank and branded traitors by order 66.

    But this game has plenty of doppelgängers already. I think of them in terms of movie episodes or shows. ST Han is Ep. 4 Han, Snolo is his Ep. 5 counterpart, and Raid Han hails from Ep. 6. I see no reason why we shouldn't get a Clone Wars Anakin (General Skywalker) in addition to the existing Ep. 3 Anakin. Fallen Anakin would set a new precedent since he's from Ep.3 as well.

    The Clone Wars lasted roughly three years between the Battle of Geonosis and Order 66. The 501st wasn't around for a decade between the start of the war and Anakin's fall.

    No, because that would spoil the end of The Empire Strikes Back.
