"Darth Vader Questions"
|
So I just finished re-reading all of WOR, and I have a couple of questions about Darth Vader as he appears in UF: 1) I'm guessing that his voice is still that of James Earl Jones, but I'm having trouble picturing who his face is "modeled" after. Is there anyone in particular, or is it just a description that you thought worked nicely? 2) Is Darth Vader aware that Kahm Santova is still alive (at least I think she still is, I know she's Rianna's Mother), and if so have they reconnected? Given their past relationship (and the barriers his injuries and suit posed at the time), I wonder what they'd think of each other now...

In my head, he looks like a slightly older version of King Kashue of Flaim from Record of Lodoss War. >2) Is Darth Vader aware that Kahm Santova is still alive (at least I >think she still is, I know she's Rianna's Mother), and if so have they >reconnected? Given their past relationship (and the barriers his >injuries and suit posed at the time), I wonder what they'd think of >each other now... We've played around with the idea (or a related one) a few times - there's even a draft scene of Vader meeting Rianna kicking around in the files somewhere, originally put together for an earlier concept of a sequel to Road Movie. It didn't get used, as that project didn't go ahead, and we haven't revisited the idea in a while - Larry is very particular about the uses to which his characters are put. As for Kahm herself, I believe she's still around someplace, but Lord Vader is probably not yet aware of this. Chances are if they did run across each other, they'd either fight to the death or end up becoming the Oberon and Faella of a galaxy-striding dynasty the likes of which has never been seen before. Neither is probably advisable in the long term, so perhaps it's best if we keep them apart. :) --G. -><- Benjamin D.

OK - based on the description, it looks like that pic is a little lighter skinned than the text description, but that's easy to make the mental adjustment on. Thanks! [...] in order to be a realist you must believe in miracles. -- David Ben Gurion EPU RCW #π #include <stdsig.h> |

And that would be about that. Oh, and maybe some off-screen meeting that's only hinted at... and, hey! Who's this young up-and-coming Sith Lord? (No, not that they're really 'together', but I'd imagine it'd be something similar to Skuld and Gryphon's relationship.)

>I feel the need to add additional question: >Will Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker, student of Saionji, ever meet? It seems likely they will eventually. They know a lot of the same people... >It's big universe, but on the other hand, it's very small one. That's very true. --G. -><- Benjamin D.
