Anakin Skywalker (dark clone)

"You were cast from the mold of a dead man. You have inherited his strengths, but also his weaknesses."

- Starkiller

The dark clone of Anakin Skywalker was a human male cloned by Starkiller from the genetic material of his former master, Darth Vader. Following Vader's death, Starkiller embarked on a quest to create a perfect, obedient duplicate of the man to take as an apprentice. Within the cloning facilities of, several failures were produced before the Dark Lord of the Sith succeeded in creating a clone of the deceased apprentice that was able to overcome his template's emotions and submit himself entirely to the dark side of the Force. As his training progressed, the dark clone surpassed all those who had come before him; he was able to store Skywalker's memories independent from his own and suppress the dead man's feelings. Starkiller planned to have the apprentice face a final test against a rogue clone of Vader during the Rebel attack on Kamino, but the dark clone did not participate in the battle without Starkiller's orders, and the Sith Lord was captured by the Alliance.
