Did Kam Solusar Know Anakin Skywalker?

I Think Kam Knew Anakin And Is Hiding Something From Luke. I Think He Should Tell Luke About Padme And Anakin. He May Know The Location Of Any Remaining Jedi Purge Survivors

 

Kam may have been born after the Purge for all I know. I have not read anything about him prior to that. Then again, I have not read all the EU, yet, either.

 

Considering Vader killed Kam's father, I doubt he knew him.

 

Anakin knew Rannik.

But Kam was very young when the Purge happened.

 

Kevin J. Anderson makes Kam Solusar "an older man" or something like that in the Dark Apprentice. At least the Star Wars Wiki says clearly that he was born before the Clone Wars.

 

He doesn't remember it because his daddy kept him wrapped up in a baby blanket so that Yoda wouldn't find out that he'd been fooling around with the local women and saw his ears off.

 

It was implied in DE2 that Ranik was training Kam, but that doesn't mean the Jedi Council knew about it and most especially doesn't mean that Kam knew Anakin was married to Padme. Only Obi-Wan really knew how deep their relationship actually was. Ranik probably knew Anakin in passing and Kam had probably heard of him, however, most people thought tha Anakin died in the attack on the Temple. They didn't know it was he who led the attack. As far as how old Kam is: He is called middle-aged which in our world is 40's but in the GFFA is your 60's. He was probably a young teen at the time of ROTS and we know he fled the know Galaxy after Vader killed his father and only returned once he had heard that the Emperor and Vader were dead, little did he know....

 

Only Obi-Wan really knew how deep their relationship actually was.

And Nejaa Halcyon.

 

Ohh I see a great plot bunny.

R2 has the temple slaughter on tape, and shows everyone that it was daddy dearest excuting order 66 with relish, maybe even taking Ranniks head off (im not clear on where exactly Anivader gets him or if its even mentioned) Kam, sees it.. it would throw a major hydrospanner into thier relationship, and I know personally if someone murdered my father I would definately try to kill him back.

Id tend to think that Kam is way to even tempered to try anything vengeance related but I also tend to think someone who had fell to the DARK SIDE not to thier dark emotions would call BS on this new theory.

 

Funny how only Anakin is reviled for having relationships, when every other Jedi int he temple were breeding like rabbit.

 

Artoo doesn't see the Temple invasion. He's at the ship and clueless as he tells Threepio when Anakin arrives to check on Padme.

 

Funny how only Anakin is reviled for having relationships, when every other Jedi int he temple were breeding like rabbit.

Actually, Rannik was formally disciplined by the Jedi Council and spent the rest of his career in disgrace. (NEGTC)

This clearly puts his birth prior to 19 BBY (Unless Obi-Wan and Yoda still held quorums afterward... )

Most likely it was prior to the Clone Wars, as I can't see the Council worrying about who's getting married to who when they were trying to direct the war effort.

As for others, the Council never knew about Nejaa's marriage; Ki-Adi-Mundi was given special dispensation because his race were required polygamy to survive.

And on the other hand, I don't think Anakin was ever reviled by anyone for his relationship.

I think it was more, you know, the murder of the Tusken Raiders and later most of the Jedi Order.

It's interesting that the only person who knew of Anakin's marriage, and didn't keep the secret, was Panaka - who told Palpatine.

 

Panaka was bad man.

 

And he always seemed so nice...

 

Nice?

Bah? He was a big whiny pessimist....as Dan Wallace points out:

CAPT. PANAKA : This is a dangerous situation, Your Highness.

CAPT. PANAKA : Our security volunteers will be no match against a battle-hardened Federation army.

CAPT. PANAKA : There are too many of them.

CAPT. PANAKA : Getting past their blockade is impossible, Your Highness.

CAPT. PANAKA : Without shields we'll be sitting ducks!

CAPT. PANAKA : Your Highness, Tatooine is very dangerous.

CAPT. PANAKA : It looks pretty bad. We'd better seal the ship.

CAPT. PANAKA : The moment we land the Federation will arrest you, and force you to sign the treaty.

CAPT. PANAKA : There are only twelve of us, Your Highness....we have no army.

CAPT. PANAKA : Your Highness, this is a battle I do not think we can win.

CAPT. PANAKA : They've probably spotted us.

I bet once he became a Moff, he was best mates with Cassio "The Rebels will destroy the Death Star" Tagge.

They probably sat and bitched together.

 

I think Yoda prolly caught on about Anakin and Padme..

Don't you think?
He was THERE for the birth, right?

 

Yes. But that's besides the point, especially since Anakin had already gone evil and pretty much "severed" all his ties with the order anyway.

Though I think its strongly hinted that Yoda always knew - even back to the old "Escorting Senator Amidala home" line.

 

Preferably, not. Be nice to see someone, apart from who isn't named after their parent, doesn't actually know the famous sacred movie names.

 

Let's assume arguendo for a moment, that Kam's father knew Anakin, and somehow Kam caught a glimpse of Anakin, as well. I doubt it would have been of consequence. Anakin Skywalker seemed to have been aloof and isolated due to his strong powers and his own feelings of self importance. If Anakin ever met the Sulosars, the latter probably knew the former about as well as anyone watching the Holovids.

 

I can't think of a single good reason why Kam wouldn't tell Luke about Anakin if he knew him. But even if he did know him, what could he tell Luke that he didn't already know? I think only Obi-wan, Palpatine, Yoda and a few others knew about his relationship with Padme. It wasn't exactly public knowledge.

 

Along the whole revenge idea. Kam already knows Anakin was Vader (Luke spells it out to his first class in I, Jedi). He should already know who killed his father (if I remember correctly, it's implied that he was there when it happened). Why would he go out for revenge about something he already knows? Along him knowing about Anakin and Padmé, I think that question has been answered already by everyone else on this thread.
