Of course, this is easily fixed.

	I think the final boss will probably be that older Jedi guy.

	Earthknight posted: I see a high chance. Yep, he's as dead as Dooku. Seriously, you actually think Lucasfilm is going to have an ending where the hero is killed on a Multimedia event that their money rests on due to the vague idea that they respect continuity enough that they won't endanger it by having their LEET new character be absent from major events? Wow, the fanboy justifications just pile over one another. GrandAdmiralJello posted: I swear, if they wussify Vader, my contempt for them will be so sublime and manifest that the oceans will evaporate and buildings will collapse. What? Even if the Secret Apprentice beats him, he's not going to kill him. Besides, the Secret Apprentice is a Dark Lord of the Sith. He's just not got the title.

	GrandAdmiralJello posted: He's no more a Sith than that halfbreed Lumiya. He's Vader's apprentice. It's pretty obvious from what we've seen he'd crush almost any Sith Lord we've seen and is probably a match for Dooku or Maul. You don't even have the Lucasfilm usual denial that he's a Sith because they flat out SAY he is in everything but name and this is with George's approval.

	^ Who cares if the Secret Apprentice is a Dark Lord of the Sith? The point is that Vader should be a FAR FAR FAR BETTER Dark Lord of the Sith. The fact that the SA won't kill Vader is irrelevant - if the SA defeats Vader, Vader is diminished and that sucks. Instead of taking Lucas' "80% of the Emperor" stuff and using that to justify Vader being weak, they should have taken that, said that the Emperor was nigh-godlike and then made Vader the second most powerful and badass Sith in all of history... which, thusfar, they haven't. So Vader can't cast lightning? Big, freakin', whoop. There's more to Sith than lightning and the EU needs to get this message across. When Vader says, "I was but the learner" in reference to his Jedi days, he should MEAN it. He should be so far beyond what he was in RotS that it's not even funny. If he went back in time, he should be able to absolutely cream every Jedi outside of Yoda (then again, I think Palpatine was playing possum against Mace - so if you don't believe that, throw Mace in as well) and still have time for more. Do I think Lucasarts will kill the SA in the "canon" ending? No. But I'd certainly like for them to have him comprehensively whooped by Darth Vader and sent running away with his tail between his legs. Will this happen? No. /overly aggressive post -----signature----- This is an imaginary story... aren't they all supposed to fit together, though?

	Yep, pretty much any defeat Vader suffers just furthers the notion that he was a paper tiger of a Sith Lord, whose reputation was based more on propaganda than actual ability. I also forsee an inverse of the most incredibly annoying trait of pre-RotS novels and media: Whereas once we were constantly bombarded with the symbolic "Look at me, I'm gonna be Darth Vader someday!" neon sign with pretty much every story Anakin Skywalker appeared in, now we're going to get the "Look! There's still good in me somewhere!" neon signs with almost every Vader appearance that takes place between RotS and RotJ. But yeah, as noted, any defeat of Vader at the hands of his apprentice definitely diminishes Vader further. By all rights, if that happens, the SA should almost CERTAINLY die. Because if he defeats Vader but spares his life, the Emperor would finish him off. Unless of course the guy pwns the Emperor as well.
