Attempting to regain his feet, Starkiller angrily questioned Vader for interfering as the Sith Lord had agreed to stay away. However, due to the years of wear and tear it suffered, by 3 BBY, the uniform was a tattered mess, held together only by Marek's mending. Through the Force, Starkiller beheld a vision of himself, a cybernetic Sith Warrior consumed by the dark side. As he exited the main entrance hall, Starkiller experienced another vision; his father's voice warning him not to be blinded by anger. You will do my bidding until I find a new apprentice. Marek knew PROXY from a young age, ever since "entering" into the service of Darth Vader. [8] Eclipse landed the Rogue Shadow atop one of the massive mushroom grows on Felucia, and Starkiller ordered her to wait while he charged off into the jungle, lightsaber already lit. However, this tactic backfired, and Kota's guard began to slip, allowing Starkiller to counter.[3]. Galen made short work of the Red Guards, and squared off against the Shadow guardsman. With no other options, Starkiller grudgingly accepted, and Vader released his apprentice's restraints.[3]. He admitted to having foreseen the attack and shocked Marek with a blast of Force lightning before flinging him through a window out onto the landing platform as Juno flew the Rogue Shadow down for boarding. From the vantage of the Rancor's high body, Starkiller saw a landmark in the direction he was traveling; the Felucian village. Yeah I like the idea of the characters being flipped, gives the viewer the same feeling as starkiller, kind of weak and scared. [3], Marek learned how Sidious had ordered the death of his father and his own abduction, and how he had in fact been Marek's true Master, using Vader only as a proxy. [3], As a young adult, having been trained extensively to be a living weapon capable of helping Darth Vader in defeating Sidious, Marek became an immensely powerful and proficient Force Adept, with his power being acknowledged by the Jedi he had faced and defeated and Vader believing him to be ready to aid him in executing Sidious. [3], Starkiller quickly deduced that the "very beginning" referred to the start of his apprenticeship, and thus he realized that his entire life had been a sham, and that Vader never intended to destroy the Emperor. "[3], Entering the guest quarters, he found himself facing Princess Leia Organa, in a scene that precisely matched one of his visions while on the Empirical. The Felucian natives fought back with determination against Starkiller, looking to preserve her "regime." Unaware of the nature of the battle, and ignorant as to the Jedi's identity, Starkiller leapt to his Master's aid. Galen Marek Tearing off his hood as it snagged on one of the Sarlacc teeth, Starkiller could only fend off Ti's assault until he regained his balance. Once within the atmosphere, they began searching for Paratus, eventually discovering his crude imitation of the Jedi Temple on the surface. The apprentice spent most of his life training for the day when he and his master would overthrow the Emperor. [3], To a certain extent, he desired Juno's approval, and her anger when discovering his continued service to Vader genuinely hurt him. For the most part, the color range was limited to either black or brown, depending on whether he was representing the Sith or the Jedi, though he did possess other outfits. He noted that the blue color made him think of oceans and rain, rather than the more destructive imagery fostered by his red lightsaber blade, though this didn't overly concern him. Having gained the high ground, the warrior telekinetically wrenched several massive columns from the labyrinth and cast them at Starkiller, who reacted by using them as stepping stones to climb back up. Marek's hatred became further strengthened by his horror of Sidious and his excesses; the Death Star proved that the Emperor was no longer satisfied with misinformation and oppression to control the galaxy, and was willing to resort to all out genocide. The missions are later included in the Ultimate Sith Edition release of the game. Even the plant life attempted to kill him; on one occasion Starkiller managed to dodge a tree that had split itself from its roots and attempted to crush him before growing an entirely new root system, evidently to feed on whatever creature it had trapped under its bulk. [1], However, while Marek wielded the weapon successfully in combat, he never truly felt that it was his own, and was unsuccessful at utilizing it in his meditations. The fight continued on with renewed vigor in both opponents, and Starkiller only gained the advantage when he drove the dark warrior to the brink of the round platform they fought on. However, Ti reemerged, perched on one of the Sarlacc's massive tentacle, commanding the Sarlacc to assault Starkiller. The apprentice killed Paratus in the tower of a makeshift Jedi Temple modeled after the one on Coruscant. As they encountered Imperial forces aboard the dying ship, Starkiller drew his new lightsaber, realizing it was Rahm Kota's former weapon. At one point, Starkiller tracked down and killed Jedi Master An'ya Kuro, taking her lightsaber as a trophy. Starkiller then fell into another Force vision, in which he was forced to navigate the labyrinth of his own mind before entering into a confrontation with a dark specter. Starkiller, as the Sith Warrior, ultimately triumphed by grasping the Jedi in a telekinetic stranglehold and impaling him with the plethora of trophy lightsabers hanging from his own waist. Haden Blackman, writer of The Force Unleashed, said in a Spike TV interview that his codename began with "S"; it was later revealed to be "Starkiller," a name originating in early drafts of Star Wars; Luke Skywalker's name was originally going to be Annikin Starkiller. As Starkiller prepared to depart, Rahm Kota inquired as to whether there has been any mention of Kazdan Paratus. [3] Vader was satisfied by Starkiller's progress, and provided him with a target—a newly constructed Star Destroyer shipyard above Raxus Prime. His reverie was interrupted when Juno informed him of activity in his area; Drexl Roosh's gang. [3] Evading and countering against Paratus' telekinetic assault, Starkiller pursued him up onto the upper supports for the Council chambers windows, parrying a lightsaber slash and deflecting a blast of Force energy back at the Jedi. He favored the color, as it would make him think of blood and fire during his meditations, strengthening his connection to the dark side. Though caught off-guard, Vader quickly rallied and defeated his opponent—revealed to be PROXY using his Obi-Wan Kenobi combat module. However, their new life was cut short when Mallie was killed while protecting Wookiees[5] from Trandoshan[6] mercenaries and slave traders, leaving her husband to raise Galen alone. Starkiller managed to defeat the jetpackers, but Chop'aa donned his helmet and summoned his basilisk war droid. [18] Dave Filoni considered re-canonizing Starkiller and including him as an Inquisitor in Star Wars Rebels, which also featured Sam Witwer as Darth Maul, but the idea never materialized.[19]. However, he considered her activities on Felucia to be disrupting the natural rhythm of the Force; the flow between the opposite forces of light and darkness. Upon arrival at Nar Shaddaa, Starkiller became increasingly troubled by Vader's order to "leave no witnesses," as many of his eventual victims were loyal Imperial citizens whose only error was to cross his path, though Starkiller satisfied himself that this was yet another test from Vader, and steeled himself. Having rejected Darth Sidious' offer to replace Vader, Marek ultimatelty saved his allies at the cost of his life. He had to correct on his initial changes, as he didn't want it to tumble or break apart. Once again on equal footing with the specter, Starkiller impaled him from behind. Ti countered by taking control of the Sarlacc's distributed intelligence and sending its feeding tentacles after him. He then began planning out his attack on the base. Realizing that there were better ways to kill than to call on his anger, Galen came to pity Vader, seeing the Dark Lord as a result of the same manipulations and abuse as himself, and thus desired to kill him as a way of "freeing" his former Master from the pain of being enslaved to the Sith. He destroyed four more moorings by telekinetically nudging the fighters into them. Having dealt with Kleef, Starkiller contacted Juno and ordered her to prime the ship for launch in case he required a quick exit. Vader acknowledged that he had trained his student well, but declared that Galen still had much to learn, though Galen countered that Vader had nothing left to teach him. Starkiller was later sent to create a rebellion to battle the Empire. Kota had refused, so Bail went in search of Shaak Ti. This evil incarnation of Starkiller is first introduced canonically in the Jedi Temple DLC for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, in which Galen Marek travels to the ruins of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant at the command of Jedi Master Rahm Kota. One of his missions with this pilot involved hunting down a treacherous Imperial aide on Malastare who had run up gambling debts. With Juno witnessing the exchange, Starkiller informed the Dark Lord that while the pieces were falling into place, the Rebels were still scared and were only beginning to trust him. [3], Although he survived the fall, Starkiller laid unconscious in the snow for some time. Starkiller's Sith training continued in the ruins of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. However, he quickly came to the conclusion that if she could turn to the dark side so easily, then she could turn back to the light just as quickly, accepting something that Shaak Ti had explained during their duel; that the Force was fluid, and light and dark were just directions. Juno informed him no, and Starkiller hid his apology behind a display of sympathy, though Kota brushed it off. Darth Vader confirmed this, though he added that he didn't intend to dethrone the Emperor with Starkiller specifically. An incredibly skilled lightsaber duelist, Marek was able to defeat the droid's training programs replicating some legendary duelists such as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Maul. With no other option left, Galen grabbed the Emperor's shoulders and redirected the lightning into the Dark Lord, causing Sidious to share in the agonizing pain of his own power. They saved each other, and by doing so, PROXY played a role in the eventual redemption of Galen Marek.[3]. [3] En route back to the Executor, Starkiller devoted some effort towards repairing Paratus' shattered lightsaber pike, so as to present it as a trophy to Vader, but was unsuccessful and abandoned the effort,[3] instead telekinetically disassembling and reassembling his own lightsaber while in meditation. The meetings were apparently going well, though Starkiller noted that the involvement of the two noted resistance leaders raised the stakes dangerously. In concept art, Marek wears what appears to be some sort of Force shackles. When Vader informed him as much, Starkiller assumed that Vader had lured the Emperor to them, and asked when they would strike. [1] As Paratus lay dying, he lamented on his failure before expiring in a brilliant flash of Force energy. [7] However, Starkiller fought back ably, backing the simulacrum up against a statue of Palpatine erected at the head of the hall. Darth Maul, later simply Maul, is a fictional character and a major antagonist in the Star Wars franchise.A powerful Zabrak Sith Lord and Darth Sidious' first known apprentice, he first appeared in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999), portrayed by Ray Park and voiced by Peter Serafinowicz.Though seemingly killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi at the end of the film, he returned in the … Informing Starkiller of their location; aboard the Empirical in the Dominus system; PROXY then hacked into the Empirical's navigation system and set it on a collision course for the Dominus star, forcing he and Starkiller to make their way to the Rogue Shadow before the imminent destruction of the Empirical. However, rather than follow the over-sized, bulky design of his master's weapon,[12] Marek opted for a considerably more skeletal make. The Alliance adopted Marek's family crest as their insignia, turning it into a symbol of rebellion against the Empire. [6] Another mission took him to Duro, where the local Imperial despot had grown overly ambitious. Though he was brutally and continually punished by his master, Starkiller submitted willingly to the teaching method of the Dark Lord, essentially because he knew nothing else, and this instilled in him the belief that whatever did not kill him would make him stronger, more adept at wielding the dark side. The light gear consisted of his basic uniform pants with wraps covering his arms and abdomen, but with the exception of straps holding on the arm-wraps, his chest and upper back were left bare. In the end, Marek's attitude towards PROXY went beyond his mere functionality; PROXY was his friend, and Marek refused to abandon him. Evasively leaping about the chamber, the Jedi was intercepted by Starkiller, physically assaulted, telekinetically thrashed about, and blasted with Force lightning before being thrown aside. His subjugation to Vader even displayed itself in his voice and manner, as he affected a formalized and faintly aristocratic accent whenever he was in Vader's presence, in stark contrast to his usual behavior. Freeing several of the beast's tentacles to relieve some of its pain, Starkiller descended through the stabilizer elevator into the Sarlacc's digestive system, where the Felucians had taken refuge against the Empire. After numerous failures, Vader finally created a clone, Subject 1138, that appeared stable enough to be the first success. Vader gave Starkiller free rein in how to pursue his objective, leaving only the order that he was to sever all ties to his past, save PROXY, to ensure that no one found out that he served Vader. It was then that Darth Vader appeared, speaking via-PROXY once more. The revelation proved to be the final straw for the apprentice. Galen Marek (pronounced /É¡eɪlən ˈmæɹɛk/), codenamed Starkiller, was a Force-sensitive Human male taken on by the Sith Lord Darth Vader as his secret apprentice and personal assassin during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Left distrustful of his Master, and developing compassion for his allies, Marek began to genuinely consider betraying him in turn by using the rebellion to take revenge and then take over the galaxy for himself. Marek later woke up on an operating table in the EmPal SuRecon Center, much like the one Darth Vader rested on during his own transformation while his suit was constructed. He was now wearing his own suit of armor, presumably the only thing keeping him alive. Screaming in terror as the massive vessel fell on top of him, Marek was struck silent and saw utter blackness the next moment. As he made his way deeper into the jungle, Starkiller was attacked by a plethora of predators, and the now unrestrained Felucians fought him every step of the way. His curiosity also caused him to wonder about how many clones were created before him, as well as what kind of person his progenitor was. His application of Juyo was highly focused and aggressive, his style being randomized and unpredictable, laced with sudden Force-based attacks in the midst of complex lightsaber sequences. As he picked his way through the planetary junkyard, he began seeking out the old network of sewers that lay under the lower levels of trash heap. Afterwards, the seventh moor was destroyed, thus resulting in the explosion of the skyhook mere seconds later. Arriving at the groundside moorings for the skyhook, Starkiller plowed his way through the Imperials' security and fortifications. [1], During his time aboard the Empirical, Marek was clad in a simple, standard issue Imperial medical robe.[1]. [3], Setting down as close to the Temple as possible, given the treacherous junk-pile landscape, Starkiller disembarked and progressed on foot. Galen Marek's early lightsaber training consisted of a simple tutorial in the basics, before Darth Vader took to fighting him in brutal sparring matches, the goal being to encourage his apprentice to develop his own methods. However, that was when Vader's response arrived, and the Anakin Skywalker hologram bizarrely morphed into Vader. Galen began to steadily gain ground while Vader fell back.[3]. Darth Vader marched into the chamber, ordering his troopers to take the Rebels alive for personal execution by the Emperor. Furthermore, Marek could manipulate the technique to generate Sith Seekers, essentially a combination of Force push and Force lightning. Starkiller developed an unending dislike for All Terrain Scout Transports during the mission.[3]. When Order 66 was issued, there were no clones in his squad to obey, and Kota was able to disappear. Ensconced onboard Vader's incomplete flagship, the Executor, and given the codename "Starkiller," the apprentice repressed all the memories of his previous life and spent the next two decades training as a Sith under Darth Vader's supervision, with the ultimate goal of standing at Vader's side against Palpatine. Starkiller pursued, swinging as he went.[3]. [3], During the interim, Starkiller hid out near Rhommamool, waiting for updates and using the time to purchase a new pair of shoulder servos for PROXY. Leia was initially under the impression that Starkiller was an assassin for Emperor Palpatine, and dismissed his assertion that he was here with Rahm Kota, believing that Kota had died above Nar Shaddaa. [3] In addition to his considerable array of techniques, he possessed a version of the Force speed ability, which enabled him to dart quickly across short distances.[1]. As she began to expire, Ti stated that Starkiller was nothing but Vader's slave, warning him that the Sith always betrayed each other when he declared his loyalty to his master. Yet,… As Starkiller approached, "Juno" leapt into the air and transformed into Darth Phobos. Despite urges from the Senators to help his comrade, Marek instead chose to finish Vader, impaling him with both his and Vader's lightsaber. (Cue The Force Unleashed - Mark Grisky) Wiz: Starkiller eventually began his career as Darth Vader's personal Jedi hunter, … The mission to Kashyyyk resulted in the deaths of many Imperial troops. [3], As he traveled towards the Ancient Abyss where he had last encountered Shaak Ti, he happened upon a squad of scout troopers, who had evidently seen the Rogue Shadow flying overhead. After their first and last kiss, Galen said farewell and leapt into the Death Star's extensive superstructure. But not wishing to displease his Master, Starkiller was quick to hide his reluctance and voiced his compliance, convincing himself that it was just another stepping stone to achieving his Sith destiny. He focused entirely on the mission at hand, ignoring all other distractions. Rahm Kota, after his defeat and blinding by Starkiller, had fallen into depression, and had resorted to alcoholism to drown his sorrows. Starkiller was presented with the option of reentering Darth Vader's service, with the assurance that if he refused, he and all witnesses would be destroyed in the laboratory's self-destruction. In the early phase of his training, he was confused by the original Starkiller's memories and was unsure as to whether or not they actually belonged to him or someone else. Unfortunately, however, the clone began to suffer from the same visions that his predecessors did. Angered by his pupil's defiance, Vader challenges him to a duel between master and apprentice. Attacking Sidious, he drew heavily on his anger to subdue the Sith Lord, almost falling to the dark side all over again. Though intended as a tool for training purposes, PROXY became the apprentice's only friend throughout his life. In addition, though Vader's horribly scarred visage elicited pity from Galen, a significant part of him still wanted revenge. [1] The main reason for Starkiller's surprise was that he had never had a female pilot before, and he afterwards became convinced that it was some sort of test from Vader.[7]. Whereas Marek died as a Jedi by sacrificing his life to save Kota and the Rebel leaders, Kota would go on to honor Marek's legacy by serving in the Alliance to Restore the Republic.[3]. He later revealed to Starkiller that he was merely a tool, and never planned to overthrow Palpatine with him. When confronted by a Rancor-riding native, he ascended the jungle canopy until he was level with the rider and leapt onto the Rancor. Within, he found the evidence of a lightsaber duel in the form of burned slash marks on the walls. Reminding Starkiller of where his true allegiance belonged, Vader terminated his link through PROXY. House of Marek[1]Galactic Empire[3]Order of the Sith Lords[3]Jedi Order[3]Alliance to Restore the Republic[3] Though betrayal was the way of the Sith, Starkiller was extremely loyal to Darth Vader. Marek grew up surviving multiple attempts on his life by PROXY, a droid programmed to kill him as part of his Sith training. [1] Marek managed to subdue Palpatine, but ultimately was incapacitated by the Emperor's force lightning, which Marek blocked to save his friends from Palpatine's wrath—at the cost of his own life. These predecessors had failed to meet expectatio… The Gungan was a surprisingly able vibroblade duelist, though ultimately no match for Starkiller. Knowing that the Senator's survival was important to his mission, Starkiller had no choice but to rescue Bel Iblis. [1][3] His first pilot was a dour old sergeant who, according to Starkiller, flew the Rogue Shadow like an oil barge. With his final decision made, he resisted the urge to kill Vader and instead attacked Palpatine. His relationship with Juno Eclipse was the catalyst behind the apprentice's redemption. Meanwhile, he had Juno check the local Imperial records for information on the scavengers while he continued to perform recon. While Lobot and the Cloud City guards secured the area, Starkiller moved on. Starkiller took care not to damage any of the ceramic artwork on the walls, calling it his "good deed for the day. ], The first was the heavy gear, which he wore during his time on Raxus Prime, hunting for Kazdan Paratus. Despite Kenobi's valiant efforts, Starkiller proves the stronger, and Kenobi is impaled through the shoulder before being vaporized against the Falcon's active engines. During his years of training under Darth Vader, Galen Marek clad himself in a simple Imperial combat uniform. He dealt with them quickly and efficiently, saving his energy for his ultimate target. Ordered to return to the Executor, Starkiller was congratulated by PROXY for the imminent completion of his "primary programming."[3]. Starkiller personally developed into a staunch Imperialist, viewing these assassinations as a form of service to the Empire. Driven by concern for his friends, Galen embraced the Force completely and released all of the pent up energy, resulting in a massive shock wave that killed the stormtroopers and destroyed much of the dome. [1][3], Starkiller managed to survive the devastation, extricating himself from the rubble and answering Kota's frantic comms. Bel Iblis was a firebrand in the Senate who absolutely opposed both Emperor Palpatine and his New Order, and thus he wished to discuss an alliance with Starkiller. Galen Marek was a Human male who lived during the height of the Galactic Empire and the Great Jedi Purge. Stormtroopers and Uggernaughts were thrown off of the dock or into each other, and Starkiller even brought heavy freight raining down from one of the shipping balloon's above. He noted her effort to seem lighthearted towards him, and he eventually started to enjoy her presence, something he chided himself for. However, he was distracted, and frequently had to ask PROXY to repeat mission details that he had missed while deep in thought, and eventually retreated to the onboard meditation chamber to gather his energies. Debuting in the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed video game, Galen Marek, aka Starkiller, becomes Vader's apprentice as the Sith Lord hunts the remaining Jedi following Order 66. As such, Vader kept his apprentice's existence a secret, bestowing to him the call sign "Starkiller." [20], As the Millenium Falcon flees the scene, Lord Starkiller grasps the ship in a Force grip, holding it in place while declaring to Luke that the only way he can save his friends is to give in to the dark side. [3], After Vader's second betrayal on Corellia, Starkiller displayed not only anger, but also pity for the Dark Lord, remarking that if he were to die there, then Vader would never be free from his master. The Jedi fought with efficiency, but was ultimately unable to hold his own against Starkiller's raw power. Gender Due to his powers and reputation, the Jedi Order created a holographic simulation modeled after him for the training of Jedi Padawans during their final Trials. Starkiller's adventures across the galaxy culminated in the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Darth Starkiller, formerly Galen Marek, was a Human male Sith Lord who served under the Galactic Empire and Emperor Palpatine. Immediately after recovering PROXY, they along with the other founders of the rebellion met on Kashyyyk. Height This one was more able than the first, though Starkiller ultimately dismembered him with a giant fan blade. In addition to wielding it in combat, Marek also used the weapon to aid in his meditations, either holding it in front of his face and staring into the ignited blade,[3] or telekinetically dismantling and reassembling it.[1]. Bail Organa's wealth would fund the rebellion, Garm Bel Iblis would provide the military hardware and Mon Mothma the soldiery. However, Lord Starkiller is then attacked by Kenobi's Force ghost, though he dissipates it with a barrage of Force lightning. Surprised but elated, Galen scored two more hits on the Dark Lord in short order before telekinetically pummeling Vader with any and all objects he could find. Starkiller eventually makes his way to the hangar, where he disables a shield generator protecting the Millenium Falcon and gets into a renewed confrontation with Skywalker. Starkiller returned to the Jedi Temple where he fought against the simulacrum of Darth Phobos. Darth Vader @Tyrannus: per prime Vader already proved superior to a Clone of Galen who was = to if not superior to the original Galen since he had all …
