Was Starkiller A Sith? Star Wars Fast Facts #Shorts

Starkiller - also known as Galen Marek - was Darth Vader’s apprentice between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. But was this powerful Force-wielder a Sith?

The son of two secretly married Jedi, Galen’s family hid on the planet Kashyyyk. While still a young child, his mother was killed by Trandoshan slavers.

Shortly after Vader tracked down the Jedi and his son. Galen - only a child - revealed his immense power in the Force and easily took Vader’s lightsaber from him.

Trained by Darth Vader, the Dark Lord gave him the codename Starkiller.

Due to the Rule of Two, Starkiller was never given the title of Sith; however, he was more than powerful enough to have taken one of the roles.

His powers were so great, he was able to pull a Star Destroyer out of the sky and crash it to the ground using only the Force.

There is quite a bit more to Starkiller’s story; however, he is no longer canon, but we can all dream that one day Starkiller will return to the Star Wars universe.

The question should be “Was he a Sith Lord?” And no he wasn’t. He was a Sith Assassin.

Bros like the next Darth Revan, being a Light/Dark Side user.

[Grzio_]

He was what anikan was destined to become

[forgeinsteel]

Sad that he never made it to canon, although at least they kept his name in the Force Awaken, Starkiller base, which is like both cameos of The Force Unleashed the title, and Starkiller his name

It's still hilarious to me that Starkiller was so powerful and OP, that he had to be taken out of canon.

[InternetFunnyMan]

Ok so the rule of 2, fair enough. I always wanted to know what that makes Darth Desolus and Darth Phobos

[Volsbaseball]

He was like ventress, an assassin, and the rule of two like you said.

If Disney made an entire series about Galen, I’d be ecstatic. Sam Witwer is an excellent actor and Galen’s story exemplifies the rebellion as a whole

[deo_exus]

No don't let him return, Disney would ruin him

[wingedblaze]

Canon or not, still one of the best written characters I’ve ever seen ❤️‍🔥

[Noobish_Camper]

Rey is an absolute trash character and having a semi disconnected Star Killer trilogy would have been great. The main story has been told.

[GMFRK]

if starkiller ever returned to canon, he would have to be completely rewritten because his power goes even beyond palpatine

I’d love to see him come back but not the way most people want

[robertburk]

I'm not a star wars nerd, but I honestly ever understood him to be very powerful, never truly either light or dark side.
He seemed always stuck in the middle to me, more conflicted than anything.
I know I'm very likely wrong.

[thelaw]

He was a Sith Apprentice and Assassin.

[mylesterrebonne]

Technically the Star Destroyer was already crashing. Still an awesome feat!

[lightelf]

He did not “pull” a star destroyer from the sky. He merely nudged it and aimed it to the ground. The star destroyers engines were broken and it was falling from the sky anyways. It was so broken that most personnel on the ship ejected from escape pods.

[elridgedavis]

Starkiller needs the cyberpunk 2077 animation treatment👀

[lainecallahan]

I’ll never understand why people want him to be canon. The games were fun but he was so overpowered and the story was ok better than the sequels.

[jamesx]

Star killer would be too OP for cannon

[DL-fmsv]

So before Darth Bane’s rule of two he would’ve been considered a Sith. I like the Old Republic.
