High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Starkiller, also known as Galen Marek and the Apprentice, is the main character of the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed project (including a video game, novel, and comics), who first appeared in the game Soulcalibur IV. He is voiced by Sam Witwer, who also gave his likeness to the character. After Darth Vader kills Galen`s father, he is raised by Vader and is made his secret apprentice, under the name "Starkiller". He is potent with using the Force for destructive purposes, with Witwer describing him as less of an assassin and more of a "Force wrecking ball". After Starkiller`s supposed sacrificial death in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, he is either resurrected or cloned by Darth Vader in order to be his secret apprentice again. Starkiller escapes from the cloning facility, and at the end of The Force Unleashed II he captures and imprisons Darth Vader.
