The Brutal Life Of STARKILLER - Vader's Secret Apprentice

- In the early months of the Galactic Empire’s rule, a formidable assault on the Wookie home world of Kashyyyk was carried out, led by Darth Vader. He had received intel from Imperial spies that the Wookies harboured a survivor of the Great Jedi Purge, named Kento Marek. After eliminating any resistance in his way, Vader located the Jedi and defeated him in combat, but sensed a far more powerful force nearby. Preparing to face Kento’s master, he instead found Kento’s young son Galen, who used the force to disarm the sith lord. Vader saw great potential in him, and defended him from Imperial troops, as he was taken as his secret apprentice, beginning a new chapter in his life as he embarked on a path filled with darkness. In time, all memories of his parents and his past-life faded. Under Vader's secretive training, Galen honed his Force abilities and combat skills, adopting the codename "Starkiller." His new purpose was to serve as an assassin for Vader, hunting down and eliminating Jedi survivors who had managed to evade the Great Jedi Purge. Starkiller's missions were carried out covertly, and his existence was kept hidden from the Emperor, as Vader plotted to use him in his own bid for power. The Rule of Two forbid the existence of more than two sith at one time, and as long as Vader served his master, Starkiller could not consider himself a true sith. He was desperate to prove himself to Vader, and believed his destiny was to help him overthrow Sidious and rule at his side. In his final trials, Galen was commanded to locate and eliminate 3 jedi masters, Rahm Kota, Kazdan Paratus and Shaak Ti. With the support of his pilot Juno Eclipse, and his training droid PROXY, he fulfilled his masters bidding. When Starkiller returned to Vader victorious, he came face to face with the Emperor; his spies having learnt of his existence. In a calculated move to prove his loyalty to Sidious, Vader quickly cuts down his apprentice and hurls him into space. However, Starkiller was secretly recovered and revived by Vader’s science vessel, the Empirical. Forced back into servitude, Vader gave Galen his most important mission yet; to foster a rebellion among the Empire's enemies. The goal was to divert the Emperor's attention and resources, providing Vader with an opportunity to overthrow him. Galen rescued Juno, who had been branded a traitor to the Empire following his supposed death. He assured her that he no longer had allegiance to the Empire, or Vader, and shared his plan to create a rebel army to oppose the Empire. He reunited with a blinded Rahm Kota, who had been reduced to alcoholism. He convinced him that he too was a Jedi, and together, they formed a bond of trust and embarked on a quest to gather allies for the rebellion. One key ally Starkiller sought was Bail Organa, a senator known for his resistance against the Empire. By rescuing Bail's daughter, Princess Leia Organa on Kashyyyk, and liberating enslaved Wookiees, Starkiller gained Bail's trust and convinced him to join the rebellion's cause. To further solidify the rebellion's presence, Starkiller led an assault on a Star Destroyer facility on Raxus Prime, even pulling an Imperial Star Destroyer out of orbit. This demonstration of the Empire's vulnerability served as a rallying cry for others seeking freedom from Imperial oppression. However, when Galen made contact with Vader to notify him of his success, Juno learned that Starkiller still served Vader, yet she chose to remain silent. As the rebellion gained momentum, a final move was made to draw out the Empire's enemies. On the planet Corellia, Bail Organa met with fellow senators Mon Mothma and Garm Bel Iblis to formally structure a rebellion, but their meeting was cut short by an assault from Darth Vader, and the senators arrested. The Dark Lord overpowered Starkiller, revealing his true intentions all along. Starkiller had been a pawn, a means to an end. He was simply a tool used to squash the rebellion before it had even started, and it was never in Vader’s interest to overthrow the Emperor with Galen at his side. Whilst Vader prepared to strike Galen as he desperately clung to the cliff, his loyal training droid PROXY attacked, in the form of Obi-Wan Kenobi. As Vader put down his attacker, Galen lost his grip on the cliff ledge and fell. He survived the fall, and when he regained consciousness, he was recovered by Juno. Finally free of his former masters clutches, Galen rejected his codename of Starkiller, and for the first time considered himself to be a Jedi. Galen entered deep meditation in an attempt to save the rebellion, by tracking down both Vader and the Senators. Despite managing to locate his targets on the unfinished Death Star, he was almost overwhelmed by the number of possible futures laid out before him.In a daring mission to rescue Jedi General Kota and the captive senators, Starkiller infiltrated the Death Star.

What do you guys think about the rumour that Starkiller is the masked Inquisitor in Ahsoka? (Sam Witwer was listed in the credits apparently)
They’ll butcher him if it is him
It'll ruin him. He's too good to be reduced to an Inquisitor
@@dr.bright6272 he could solo any of them easily
@@landscapingkid2578 he could solo anyone easily
Nope
I feel Like The force Unleashed could have used more Story between Vader finding him and His First mission
There is interesting implications on this time that he was on Honogor, and was discovered by Mara Jade before the first mission.
@@RockingRebelYellsource?
He trained him to be an assassin, that’s it. 😊
I’d take this story on the silver screen over the entirety of the sequel trilogy any day of the week
i think starkiller is the first "jedi" i ever had a connection to, i love star killer, i know/heard every story
Hatred runs deep within you it seems
@randyschwaggins ur mistaken love powers starkiller. Nun creats that much hatred but love and betrayed love
Galen is a man that became powerful due to being forged under Vader’s brutal hands and resembles Atreus from God of War in how both come into their own. Starkiller the clone is a man without an identity and his story is actually really tragic
Not as tragic as Darth Vader’s. It’s almost the opposite, and Juno doesn’t exactly reciprocate the same way Padmé does. Starkiller is a cold hearted man who lost his father in front of his eyes.
Even Starkiller considers Vader’s life more tragic. He even said to Vader: „without me you will never be free”
"as long as she lives, i will always control you"@@dawidschaffrath8426
Proxy using psychological warfare on Vader was a good choice
No high ground this time though
Starkiller is fan-fictiony as hell, but I love him.
You do realize he's in star wars legends non Canon
@@elfancypants2720Not to mention Lucas himself was involved a lot with the development. He absolutely loved it
@@VelvetMagicianthis is the main reason it doesn’t work.
Of course Lucas is gonna say he was involved with it & loved it, he’s on the payroll you numbty.
He’s not gonna turn around and say “not my idea, don’t like it, load of shit”…
If he truly liked the idea then guess what - it would have been depicted in his fucking lifelong work; episodes 1-6.
Imagine being so nearsighted to think that George Lucas of all people who’s been writing these stories for 60 years hadn’t thought about giving his main character of Anakin Skywalker, an apprentice…
Of course he’s thought about it, and decided against it.
Disney have decided to force feed us characters like Ahsoka & Starkiller because of one reason;
The reason is that when Disney are given full creative freedom - they give us episodes 7-9.
Which absolutely sucked and were commercial suicide for the company; and as such, they’ve then thought “why not just make cool characters and then force them into existing lore”…
Only total baffoons would like the concepts of Ahsoka & Starkiller. The same type of people who send money to Nigerian gangs on Facebook with a profile picture of a porn star saying how attractive they think you are.
Back when the Disney sequels first came out I thought the plot twist for force awakened or the last jedi was going to be that Rey* was the daughter of Galen Merrick and Juno eclipse
Rey*
That makes more sense.
That would've actually been way better than her being Palpatine's granddaughter. Heck, it would actually justify her being so powerful too!
We need the force unleashed III
we were supposed to get one but it was canceled
The dark side ending of force unleashed 2 suggests that you we’re playing the original Galen the entire time since all of the data entry’s that you collect say that there was only one successful clone.
Or you was the clone and the one that attacks you is the og who's been brainwashed once again
@@TheLastViking27 that very well could be the case
@@joshlamb9443🎉 they're both clones.
@@DarthDread-oh2ne maybe but the database entries that you find only say there was one successful clone
I think the “one successful clone” is referencing the clone that was deemed perfect by Vader. The Dark Side clone that killed the Light Side clone in the Dark Side ending.
Best star wars game ever we need this back
Yep
we did , swfu2... But original game is still best, vader vs starkiller encounters were funny tho
Putting Galen Marek, in the down powered Ahsoka show is nothing more than an insult.
Galen Marek is weaker in the novels and comics anyway.
hes not in it?
It’s not him and he could never be that posed to live action 🤡
@@kylewilliams5454even in the Novel he’s still powerful enough to fold most other Jedi and Sith including Ahsoka.
@@afuckingblackhawkhelicopte5203 They put his Sith Ending tech armor from the 1st game in the background of a room in one of the Andor episodes. Disney called it an "easter egg". I call it shitting on the fans.
Yeah that was cool. Finally someone who tells us both sides of the story or the results for both choices. I like these longer videos. Good job and thanks
Glad you enjoyed! :)
This was to be part of the Canonverse until Disney throw this awesome game into Legends
such a great story
Starkiller cut in front of me at Disneyland
Still more compelling than Rey and the stoopid sequels
The rule of two should be renamed the suggestion of two or three or so.
Starkiller is not a Sith
@@NickMartinproductions All dark side force users running around with red lightsabers that aren't full siths still pose the same problem the rule of two was created to prevent, which is evident with all the power struggle and backstabbing (which is what the OG comment was trying to get at with a joke)
Love these games
How many times has the Emperor invited someone to kill Vader and replace him???
Id be pretty narked if I was DV!
He is canon over that Palpatine grand daughter Skywalker wanna be.
Poor guy... TFU really showed how evil was Vader.
vader was his dad, so dont talk bad bout him
@@damiandamiano3651 this is Galen Marek, not Luke Skywalker. He REALLY killed his father and his mother too.
I like to imagine after the canon ending where Galen dies Darth Vader realised “damn I could’ve killed the emperor with him”
6:53 Yeah. This look on Vaders face when Galen is holding Palpatines lightning shows all.
Loved it🇦🇪♥️
I love the music, does it have a name?
Just imagine Galen Marek as an Inquisitor.
Wouldn't work with the premise of the Galen being his secret apprentice... Vader needed him to be a secret weapon ...
I mean he basically was the og inquisitor but much better at least in the beginning and bad endings
@luiscandelario5067 Yes, they could still make it work. Sam Witwer himself said as much.
He basically said that Starkiller could be "hiding in plain sight" as an Inquisitor to deflect suspicion from the Emperor and others. He is obviously more powerful than the others, so he wouldn't be assigned any major missions within the Inquisitorius, but he would perform secret missions from Vader on the side.
If they wanted to, they could definitely make most of his backstory work with a few tweaks.
Just imagine this:
Rey to Kathleen Kenedy: Oh, man! My future has been drastically being delayed (a reference that her movie has being officially scrapped from the very beginning.) What are we gonna to do now?
At that moment both Galen Marek and Junno show up.
Galen: Well, I know just the answer!
Junno: Your job is completely done, my dear! It's your time to step down...
Galen: And allow the fans to have of what they always wanted: a Star Wars Trilogy featuring both us, Kota, Vader, Palpatine e.t.c. And believe me, Rey, if the fans had a literal lightsaber to their throats and they had to choose between the Rise of Skywalker and the second game, they would had *definitely* prefer the latter.
Junno: So! What do you have to say about that, kid? The choice is all yours!!
Rey: Well... To be fair... This is actually not a bad plan... And considering that Adam Driver... The best part of the sequels... Is not coming back... I guess we could give it a shot...
Galen and Junno smile. But at that moment Kathleen Force chocks Rey and she hits her with her lighting shouting her as "Traitor!" She then turns to both of them.
Kathleen: *No!!!* We are *not* going along with this plan!!! After all... *THE FORCE IS FEMALE!!!!*
Galen almost laughing: Allright, you female version of Sidious. Brace yourself! *Anakin!*
Both Kathleen and Rey: *What?!*
At that moment Anakin from the Clone Wars shows up and he murders both of them.
Anakin to Rey: *That's for stealing my last name to make it yours, you bitch!!!*
After completing his mission he turns back into... *Proxy!!*
Galen: Proxy you did such an amazing job!
Proxy: There was not a second that I didn't enjoy it! Also that was the perfect practise to get finally ready to kill you!
Imagine Galen Marek as a jabroni
King Joprey and Lord Balish were Stark Killers...
Thrawn needs someone like starkiller if he’s gonna stand a chance his enemies are Luke Leia Ezra Sabine Ahsoka possibly Cal Kestis and the 3rd sister from obi wan and it would be amazing to see starkiller fight each of them
Possibly cal kestis howww
Meh Disney will ruin starkiller
We don't count the trash that was the Kenobi show
@@twilimess there was a kenobi show? fuck movie sw. EU is the way
Galen 🔛🔝
This would make such an epic film if Disney had balls they could win sio many fans back such great games the force series was
Nah Disney will ruin him
Galen Merrick appeared almost as an alternate version of Anakin Skywalker. It's almost a "what if" Anakin wasn't confined to a suit. The force unleashed gave us a taste of many dark side powers. A third game on the new platform would be epic.
I think you mean, the REAL timeline of Star Wars.
Wasn’t the Skywalker family name Starkiller prior to the movies? Is this just a way to bring back the name.
#BringBackStarKiller 😂
A perfect lightsaber for me would be robotic hand covered by beskar, it would have smaller lightsaber on the end of the fingers and bigger one would form if you would connect them, a very stylish weapon for an assasin!
So lightsaber claws?
@@greenslime5655 Dude i absolutely forgot about this comment, but basically, yes. This idea came from when I was younger and rewatching SW and realising that lots characters have robo-arms and that it would be pretty cool and sneaky weapon
@@hiiamsam4808 I feel like that type of weapon would be banned the jedi would think its unfair and the sith would think its a cowardly weapon if your using it as a sneaky weapon yk what I mean?
Wasn’t he in the book Crystal Star?
It's Also Legends Canon If You Don't Know.
i don't understand, he can pull a ship out of orbit, but he can't stop himself from falling off a cliff?
That's a damn great point, and it applies all the way back to Darth Maul falling down the hole after being halved by Obi Wan, and Palpatine being tossed down a reactor shaft by Vader. The can toss things around effortlessly, with the force, but couldn't stop themselves from falling? Definitely a flaw in the writing.
I liked the story until Vader got beaten.
I don’t think the real chosen one should be beaten by anyone who is not Obi-Wan in Ep 3.
Luke beat him. And Starkiller was conceptualized as a “Dark Mirror” of Luke with all the same potential as him. Literally almost everything Luke has, Starkiller has a darker/grittier version of.
Millennium Falcon = Rogue Shadow
C-3PO/R2-D2 = PROXY
Obi-Wan/Yoda = Vader/Raul Kota
Also, in the same way that Luke’s wardrobe gets darker in color throughout the OT, Starkiller’s gets lighter throughout the game. Just another “inverted mirror” comparison.
I disagree I feel like if anyone would be able to beat vader it would be star killer if lukes story wasn’t set in stone
Y'all do know Vader wasn't just beaten by obi wan and starkiller, u can research this
That is a Catch 22. Dambed if you do dambed if you don’t. Would it be legal for a Jedie to kill Hitler or Stalin or even Pol Pot? Is one single action against evil more evil than the death that happened? As the saying is. Who is worse? The assassin or the assassin to kill the assassin?
starkiller is crazy, filled with rage , man have deep schizofrenia even his evil clones are messed up, the brutal life is one case but fact that he is madman and have all thsi jedi power and just want to have girl is other level
What was the ultimate fate of the starkiller clone?
🤩👍
Heyo
Him and anakin would of been an unstoppable force
Curious does this follow story by lucas? Not very educated on the lore
I loved this game.
Starkiller literally be the oppesite of vader
What game is this?
the force unleashed!
It truly is scary to think if Starkiller was made Canon...the guy beat Darth Vader & Darth Sidious together...then beat Darth Vader again...bruh
Ofc the Stormtroopers didn't hit s*it in close range 😂
Wait how did we find out the real name of star killer? Did I miss something
You are not wrong to find it confusing! I don’t think they actually referred to him by name in the games. There was some novelisations released alongside the games that revealed his name when he stopped referring to himself as starkiller :)
Darth Bane would have walked through this guy.
Hello
Hello there
@@VadersFortress2 general Kanobi I’ve been expecting you
He ain't sh!t, compared to "Star-Lord!"
Who else fancied juno 😂😂
According to the moment when Ventless saved Ashoka in Clone Wars , she disappear , fall in love with that Jedi who hunt Zero along with Kenobi , and turn agan to the Dark side . Not really clear what's this new mess in Bad Batch 3 , sawing Ventress with hair as she presented as apprentice. Again Disney made moronic change . Not the writers , those who gave orders to end up Bad Batch in a lamest way possible. Please no Kenobi sequel , nor Boba . Ashoka is okay , Mando will make a film , but Star Wars are already dead
I think the so called clone of Starkiller was a lie made up by Darth Vader and is actually the original Galen Marek
The whole rule of two with the sith is stupid
It’s so Disney it goes against everything.
For a start; Vader wasn’t anywhere near Kashyyk after order 66. He was on Mustafar, then Coruscant immediately after losing his legs. His powers weren’t wasted trotting around star systems killing Jedi. That’s what the imperial army was for.
Secondly; his first mission was to kill Shaak Ti…. Who was already dead. She was killed at the start of Episode 3 on the malevolence.
Palpatine was still in office & Galactic Emperor, he still attended senate & still met with foreign dignitaries. Vader spent most of his time with Tarkin, at the emperor’s command & both were equally responsible for the construction of the Death Star.
Vader probably wanted to hunt Yoda, and in turn Luke once he realised he existed. But he didn’t.
He certainly didn’t go taking on secret apprentices and defying the rule of two within minutes of turning. The rule has never been broken and the only time it’s ever been suggested of being broken is after Disney got hold of the story and went mental; same goes for Traya, Sion & Nihilus….. or Revan, Bastilla Shan & Malak.
Disney seem to think there’s a rule of three.
I get that they want to create more characters & grow the saga; but you can’t do that by shitting all over fundamental rules and breaking age old lore.
This is one of the main reasons that fans have become disillusioned with Star Wars.
The concept of characters like Asohka Tano & Starkiller are absolutely fantastic; but the way Disney have just brute forced & shoehorned them into the lore is ridiculous & offensive to fans.
You can’t have 6 movies depicting Darth Vader’s life from conception to death…..
And then just be like “oh btw we forgot to mention he had a jedi apprentice for many years and she fought in the clone wars with him”….well no she didn’t because we’ve seen the fucking movie entitled Star Wars Episode II, and she wasn’t in it.
The same goes for Starkiller, we’ve had episodes 1-6 & there’s no mention of Starkiller.
Basically what’s happened is that Disney bought Star Wars because it made shit loads of money. They then thought all they need to do is replicate the existing story & repeat it; just change a few of the characters & planet names but have basically the same story; people will buy it.
Then they released The Force Awakens; obviously it absolutely sucked but they were committed to two more movies as they were making a trilogy & the contracts were signed. Obviously the other two movies ended up being even worse because fans had already started to give up.
Then Disney have gone back to the drawing board and said “ok, we can’t create new stuff because the fans aren’t going to swallow it, so we’ll create random cool characters and we’ll just rewrite the original story and force the new characters in somehow”….
-insert Ashoka & Starkiller-
This is why Disney is losing money hand over fist. The actual concepts of Ashoka & Starkiller as characters are brilliant, but forcing them into existing lore is beyond stupid, arrogant & detrimental.
It’s like they’ve put someone with a business degree and absolutely no knowledge of the product in charge of Star Wars and let them do whatever they want. It’s actually insane to think how badly they’ve fucked this franchise.
If Disney just hired one really big Star Wars need to make all their new projects - it would have worked.
u know starkiller was created pre-disney acquisition right? under the direction of george lucas too. they immediately made him non-canon
@@VadersFortress2bro destroyed this commenter XD
Starkiller was just a rip off of Kyle Durron. Anakin was the chosen one. He was to bring balance to the force and the one even palpatine feared. Yet writers always love to play the “let’s create someone who is even more overpowered than our overpowered character.” So they wrote in the book Star Wars Dark Apprentice about a force sensitive that had god like abilities in the force. Then they took that idea and shoved it into the force unleashed, AND THEN gave him the name Starkiller… the surname Lucas was using for Luke in his original scripts before changing it to Skywalker. This entire character is a bastardization of other concepts.
The over powered Gary Stu. The original Ma-Rey Sue.
Wrong
He was only op in the game version. At least had training unlike someone else.
Completely wrong.
Sort of. But at least him being OP makes sense in-universe. Dude was personally trained by Darth Vader for over a decade. Everything about his training was designed to push him past the limits of a normal Force user. He’s the literal definition of “What doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger.”
@@CJ-442 Exactly.
Remember guys, likes and comments are free.
All this Vader getting beaten as if he wasn't ever a powerful sith and one time almost the most powerful Jedi ever is terrible and ruining the real story by Lucas.video game or not it's ridiculous
so the rule of 2 was just essentially bullshit. the whole lore is so convoluted and not at all linear or even making sense at this point. sad. more shit disney is destroying.
starfayguts making up names and such
