Lord Starkiller

If Galen Marek had killed Darth Vader and became the Emperor's apprentice, he would have become Lord "Starkiller" (also called Darth Starkiller by fans occasionally). When he finally gives his loyalty to the Emperor, he takes over Vader's position as the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Fleet and the Executor. After having been crushed by the Rogue Shadow, his right arm, which he used to contain part of the impact of the ship, was cybernetically reconstructed. His helmet contains some of the most advanced technology in the Empire, even capable of resisting lightsaber strikes. His first armor was the so-called "Sith Stalker" armor. He later used an armor more reminiscent of Vader's, the "Dark Lord" armor.

In 2 BBY, after rescuing Rahm Kota from Cloud City, Galen ventured to the Jedi Temple for the last time. At the end of this DLC level, he encountered a force construct (the Sith Stalker). After removing the Sith's mask with his lightsaber, the stalker turned out to be him, but slightly more pale in skin, as well as bald and with strange marks on his forehead. Notably, he was part cyborg. After another fight, he defeated the construct. Marek woke up with a holocron, and noticed that his hand was not his, but the Sith construct's. A voice said to him: "You can never escape me." It is not known whether Darth Starkiller was only a vision, or a wakefulness.

Search on Tatooine


When rebel spies steal plans to the Death Star, Starkiller and his Imperial aids capture the Tantive IV and Princess Leia Organa. The Princess is taken prisoner and the Tantive is destroyed, while Starkiller searches Tatooine for the plans. After landing on Tatooine and killing some scavenging jawas, he is contacted by his master who senses that he has not discovered the plans yet. Starkiller makes his way up to Jabba's Palace. While inside he kills some guards and is contacted by Jabba via intercom. Starkiller meets Jabba the Hutt but then is trapped into the Rancor Pit. He kills the Rancor and escapes. He later reunites with PROXY who later helps Starkiller by using the image of a guard to open a gate. Darth Starkiller fights Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi, as well as the Force Spirit of the latter, but fails to stop the Millenium Falcon from fleeing Tatooine.

Assault on Hoth
Starkiller proceeds to find the ship on Hoth, leading an assault on the rebels stationed there. He goes onto an AT-AT Walker and just when a rebel ship is about to launch a harpoon cable, Starkiller slices the ship in half with his lightsaber. He then jumps out of the AT-AT and find his way into the Echo Base.

Starkiller lands in a cave area and has to fight his way through Wampas to finally get into the base. He is then attacked by rebel alliance soldiers and some Wampas who had found their way into the rebel base, but dispatches them easily.



Eventually he gets to the hanger, prepared to destroy the Millenium Falcon. However, Luke Skywalker comes and attacks him. After a duel, Luke's eyes turn yellow and he uses the dark side against Starkiller, then known as Fallen Luke. Starkiller holds the Millenium Falcon from escaping, telling Luke to give into the dark side completely. In order to allow his friends to escape, Luke complies, giving into the dark side and tries to attack Starkiller in a failed attempt. However, the damage is already done, and Starkiller accepts Luke as his Sith apprentice in a plan to fulfill his former master's plan, and kill Darth Sidious.

TRIVIA
 * His armour is highly reminiscent of Ubese and Mandolorian styles, including a T-shaped visor and a Ubese breathing mechanism.


 * In a DLC for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 2/3, there is a different version of this armour, where Starkiller is turned into a "bio-mechanical nightmare", where he has been fully reconstructed as a cyborg, where the only human part of him is some of his torso flesh, part of his face, and teeth.
