Galen Marek

""I bring Darth Vader's enemies to justice.""

- ~Starkiller

Galen Marek, also known as Starkiller and The Apprentice is the main character and villains in the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed video game. One of the key features about him is that he is the secret apprentice of Darth Vader, a Sith Lord and apprentice of Darth Sidious. He is a daring, fearless, and powerful individual with an interesting opposite-gripped lightsaber style. Marek also has an incredible ability and knowledge of the dark side of the Force, and practices his fighting abilities by battling hundreds of stormtroopers on the Death Star.

Galen's Past
When Galen was a child, he and his father were on the planet of Kashyyyk when Darth Vader and hundreds of stormtroopers attacked and decided to invade. When Galen's father was attacked by Darth Vader and was about to be killed, Galen took the lightsaber Vader was holding out of his hand. Darth Vader felt how powerful the force was in Galen and took him as his secret apprentice.

Identity and Training
In the beginning of The Force Unleashed, Galen is Vader's Secret assassin and is told to help Vader take down Darth Sidious and those two would rule the Empire. So as his training, he is told to kill everyone so that his identity would be kept a secret from the Emperor. But also for training he is told to kill off Jedi and Sith alike as to improve and hone his skills.

Dark Side Ending
As Galen is turning to the good side at the end of the game, most are familiar with the ending in where he sacrifices himself and gives the rebelion new hope. But if you attack Darth Vader at the end your character will kill Darth Vader. When the Emperor tells Marek to kill his Jedi friend, he turns on the Emperor and strikes at him, but the Emperor blocks and sends Galen flying back with Sith lightning. The Emperor smashes a bypassing ship at Galen using the Force, and he ends up becoming a human-like cyborg, similar to Vader in his life-supporting suit. But in doing so turns him back to the dark side again, and again becomes a big threat, even to Sidious if he wanted more power.

The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition
Galen Marek (in his Sith stalker armor) will be making another appearance in the Ultimate Sith Edition of the Force Unleashed, serving under Darth Sidious. In the gameplay, he has to battle Ben Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, and Boba Fett.
