Darth Krayt and his most likely identity - The facts, the retcon, and the why (spoilers)

That's a very nice play on the A'Sharred Hett as Darth Krayt thing & I'm almost convinced. I'm still going to bet on the "it's too obvious" & "Devil's advocate- Hett fought darkness & wouldn't willingly be a Sith" things.

This is a good theory Sinre, I do likes it.

 

Why didn't you just use This thread? Guessing that A'Sharad Hett=Krayt is far from a new idea. It's the most popular theory.

 

I think it would be hilarious and appropriate that after A'Sharad Hett said "I'm okay with vengeance because I'm a Tusken..."

He goes Batshavit when he discovers it was his tribe that Anakin wiped out.

;-)

 

Well, the Vong connection would actually make a lot of sense, during the reign of the Voxyn queen. It would be easy to find him that way. (I still don't understand why killing it made all the Voxyn go away.)

-The Rebel Gungan

 

Didn't make them go away...just stopped them from replenishing their numbers.

 

Please keep the Krayt identity discussion in current thread, please. Thanks.

 

For me, what would never happen but would be totally awesome would be for Jacen Solo to find Hett having been captured by the Vong and tortured....

Only to free him and teach him his understanding of the Dark Side.

Thus, A'Sharad Hett is the 2nd of the New Sith Order.

 

Same here. You make one "queen" and clone it. Queen gets killed. You make another.

The whole mission was kind of stupid if you ask me.

 

The one thing that makes me uncertain about the A'Sharad Hett theory is the thing that makes most people assume it's him -- the tattoos.

They're just... too similar and at the same time too different.

It's always struck me as if we're being intentionally led to think it's Hett when in fact there is enough subtlty in the differences for it to not be him when the mask finally comes off. Hett's tattoos have five broken dotted lines, Krayt's have three bold lines with a single distinct break in the central line. They're certainly similar but the difference is too consistent in drawing of both characters. If the art was more blurry and random I'd accept the difference but the tattoos on all the Sith are excellently drawn. No matter the angle, you can see the same curves, same designs, etc. Jan doesn't just do a bunch of random black swirlies, even on the meat fodder Sith they're consistent. It leads me to think if it was going to be Hett the tattoos would be exactly the same as his. Sure, Krayt could have just changed them, but that just seems like a silly excuse for them not to be the same -- especially when they're similar enough that we're clearly meant to notice the similarity anyway if it is Hett.

I really am torn. Part of me thinks "what's the point in keeping him secret if he's someone new?" but I'm also seeing too many reasons for it not to be any of the characters we think it is. I really did like the theory that he was the Jedi from the cancelled Nightfall trilogy. I always wanted him to be Hett or someone else we already knew but now I'm starting to feel I'd rather he be a blank slate to allow them to build him up into exactly what they need. The Nightfall idea appeals to me as it'd still give him an already written detailed history while making it possible for Jan and John to retcon the parts they wanted to alter. But.. I just don't know...

I want next week to hurry up!

That never made sense to me either.

I assume all the creatures from the Vong galaxy they spliced the vornskr DNA with to create the voxyn were on the Baanu Rass. I can't think of any other reason why they wouldn't just have created more.

Well, aside from Shimrra getting PO'ed about the whole thing and telling them he's not wasting anymore time and effort on it, a bit like Palpatine with things like the Dark Trooper Project.

 

The tattoos Krayt have might not be exactly the same, but they do resemble those that Hett has. So if it is not A'Sharad Hett himself - which I still (sadly) believe to be the case - it is then probably B'Sharad Hett, to use the name invented on this forum for his possible offspring. But the fact that the Legacy issue with Obi-wan seems to happen soon after the Clone Wars ended speaks against this latter possibility.

 

Hett went to Tatooine to plan revenge on the Empire. So by becoming the Empire, he's gotten his revenge? that's crazy talk. I can't wait to see who it is just because i'm going to roll on the floor laughing because it's NOT Hett.

And the Voxyn Queen was stupid, yes. She/that mission was OBVIOUSLY created to kill the only Jedi that was worth the ink used to print his story, Anakin Solo.

Krayt is Anakin Solo's clone, cloned by the Vong but done poorly, hence the Armor affliction.

I know it sucks but that's just how it is.

And i't got to be true, i heard it from Supershadow.

Just wait for it to come out, then complain when you're wrong like the rest of us.

It could be Kir Kanos, he was a royal guardsman and a sovereign protector and a bounty hunter and was an excellent warrior by nature, imagine him meeting Brakiss and getting Dark Jedi training from him and escaping during the battle of Yavin because he realizes the NJO will win and he can escape, he flees in a starfighter while Tamith Kai and Brakiss both die and ends up on Korriban years later, he finds Sith secrets and trains and honors the memory of Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine by becoming Darth Krayt and he quickly becomes very powerfull and unlocks his full potential as Sith Lord, he starts recruiting sith and waits out the Yuuzhang Vongs invasion and as he gets older he goes into stasis to keep himself from aging, its also funny how Darth Maladi knows about Darth Sidious's kind of Sith very well and says that under Krayt they are different, Kanos realized his masters mistake and changed and adapted to prevent his sith from making Palpatines mistake.
