This Sark is canon up to the point where he and the MCP died in 1982!Tron.

He deviates from canon in the sense that, "through sheer force of will", he's not dead anymore. Just... Somewhat glitched.

As someone asked me about it elsewhere, 'SARK-ES1117821' is Sark's full program name in the screenplay and in the novelization by Brian Daley. Which is also pretty much the screenplay, only with a lot more drawn-out Ho Yay between everyone Sark and the MCP.

Sark's name is a nerdy tech reference to Sarkes Tarzian, much like how the names Tron, Alan Bradley, Dumont, the MCP, etc, are all nerdy references to inventors, companies, software, etc. now you will never be able to unsee his horns as TV/radio antenna, especially when they fry at the end hur hur

Any joke or reference I might make about Ed Dillinger Sr. being into radios and shortwave/general broadcasting as a hobby is strictly my own little bit of insubstantial head-canon, and could be considered specific to this character's universe unless anyone else thinks it's cute or whatever, etc, etc.

The tl;dr of it being that fiddling with the innards of radios and TVs is what got Dillinger Sr. interested programing in the first place 9001 years ago, and who wouldn't name the stuff they worked their butt off making after things they like. :V


Though, when considering Tron's 'in-universe' canon, where everyone's names are apparently just the initials for something, [To Run On Nothing, Codified Likeness Utility, RAM goes on to prove it being the case more in the screenplay] I haven't the slightest clue what 'SARK' could possibly stand for. :U;

SO SARK GETS RADIOS. :|
