Code Title: Starkiller… Real Title: Jacob Nion…
So, we were all surprised when we learned a few months ago that The Secret Apprentices name was, “StarKiller”. We quickly then learned that this was just a codename. Now based on Wookiepedia.com the actual, real title from the Secret Apprentice is, Jacob Nion. This is interesting, it’s not huge news, but many of individuals have been very interested in his real title.
In the gossips i’ve been hearing on an outing would be that the official Pressure Unleashed novel was launched in Germany which’s how everybody discovered exactly what the Secret Apprentice’s real title is. Let’s focus on a fast lesson in history from Wookiepedia.com.
Jacob Nion, codenamed Starkiller, was the boy from the Jedi Kento Nion and the other up to now un named female Jedi. He would be a Human male privately taken being an apprentice by Darth Vader from his father on Kashyyyk throughout the truly amazing Jedi Purge. The Dark The almighty trained him to kill Jedi who made it Order 66, and finally stand with Vader to overthrow their own Master.
Nion wasn’t always faithful to his Master, however. At some point, he received training from Jedi Master Rahm Kota and assisted the “fallen” Jedi Maris Brood seek redemption. They eventually had a supreme confrontation.
Training under Darth Vader
“You were weak after i found you. I didn’t require that you survive your training. However, your hate is becoming your strength.
Finally, the negative side is the ally.
―Darth Vader
Jacob Nion when first discovered by Darth Vader.Jacob Nion was the boy of Kento Nion and the other Jedi.
His mother have been wiped out while protecting Kashyyyk from Trandoshan slavers.
As Darth Vader was going to deal the finishing blow on Kento, his lightsaber was drawn from his hands. He switched around to locate a youthful boy holding his lightsaber. He thought the boy had the possibility being probably the most effective Pressure user within the universe. After killing his father, Vader saved the kid’s existence whenever a clone commander attempted to blast him. Vader spent years training the youthful Humanin the ways of the dark side, in secret, even from his own Master, Darth Sidious. Though skilled with many Force powers, such as telekinesis and Force lightning, he was a Sith apprentice in all but name. The Rule of Two prevented him from becoming Vader’s official apprentice, as Vader himself occupied that position. This made Vader’s apprentice officially nothing more than a Dark Jedi.
His existence was meant to be kept a secret, so he would make a point of leaving few witnesses to his work, going as far as eliminating Imperial stormtroopers who saw him in action.
Nion’s training is deemed complete on board the Executor.Jedi Temple trials
“You will need all of your skill to survive.”

This is old news to me. Because of the time zone us British and the rest of Europe hear about star wars related news and events in europe before America. And I also new the book ws out in Germany. I’m still surprised that his name is Jacob Nion. 1) My cousin has called himself Darth Nion since KOTOR came out so this is a big upset/surprise/pleasure fo him to endure. 2) I heared rumers that the apprentices name was Mark Turnbull until the Nion news.
i dont really like starkillers real name it should have stayed secret
