Every time I see Star Wars Rebels all I see is a sign that says "The Force Unleashed is non-canon, and we're replacing it with a kids' show showing a former a Padawan who never finished his training train his own Padawan who will replace your favorite Force user who is more powerful than Vader, Sidious AND Yoda as the person who indirectly kinda helped create the Rebel Alliance". Don't get me wrong, the show's okay, but I'll never forget Galen Marek/Starkiller/The Secret Apprentice.
Ronan Mina Don't misunderstand the point of Rebels. The foundations of the Rebel Alliance were already there long before the show began, but as a network of cells kept largely ignorant of each other, save contact from "Fulcrum", who help tie them all together. The main band of the show was just one of these cells, not realizing they were a part of a bigger group.
Whats funny is that once again a stupid jedi didnt take the chance of killing the lord of the sith. He is laying on the floor and is ready to be killed but nope. Just walk away and let the empire keep on going.
Chris Auditore The older jedi was standing right next to him. He could have killed him. Its stupidity at its finest. The most powerful sith lord of all time is laying there and he is the one thing holding the empire together. They should now how smart and dangerous he is. He not only destroyed the jedi, but built a dark side empire. And they let him go
atalacus43 He is, its Canon. Vitiate was not as powerful as some Believe. He used a ritual to extend his Life, nothing fancy about it. Revan was not that strong either. He was a master tactitian thats all. The jedi order was at its strongest when Sidious destroyed it, and took over the galaxy as its emperor. Something both revan and vitiate failed to do. Yoda was the strongest jedi up to anakin and luke Skywalker, and he failed against sidious. It took the family line of the strongest force users ever to take him down, and they barely made it.
vitiate never intended to take out the jedi order, he didn't care about them. he ate planets. i'll agree he's not as strong as everyone assumed, but he ate planets, that tops sidious in power, if we're going to discount revan because it was his tactics, then you must also discount sidious, sidious didn't use the force to beat the jedi order, he asked a jedi to run an errand for him to make a clone army, and slipped in order 66 and waited til the right moment to turn them, and anakin did most of the work for him the most force power he ever really showed was his mastery of force lightning and some craftiness, but we already discounted revan for his craftiness.
5:42 roughly translated from Vader to Sidious, "I know you were trying to replace me this whole time you know. Did you honestly take me for the fool?" Sidious: "OH ummm yeah anyways about those Rebels....damn I feel stupid right now".
***** Vader still would not be strong enough either way. He required the combined power with his apprentice to take sidious down. He lacked the confidence to ever take him alone.
Timothy Nikiforovs I think part of him genuinely wanted Starkiller to help him the same way but Sidious being suspicious was just too much. In hindsight I do believe Vader would have been a lot like Revan had he succeeded. He probably would not have been near as cruel as sidious was as a ruler and he would have probably have made some changes for the better.
lol i love how darth vader suddenly appears next to starkiller and sidious while they have their lightning battle @ 4:53 its like he finally managed to get up after a long battle with starkiller, only to get knocked into the air by the lightning explosion lol
He probably planned on doing Sidious in the back up until Marek was killed. He'd probably had enough of his shit. You can tell he feels remorse when he's standing over his corpse.
Somehow, I actually like this ending, but I gotta point out a fault. Rahm Kota encourages Galen Marek to let the emperor live. What the hell? I know this is for the sake of continuity, but this is Rahm Kota, of all people, who is questioning the execution of the emperor. Marek could just kill him right there, and there would be no dark side consequences. Kota was known as the Jedi who applied his paranoia to question the use of clone troopers (manufactured muscle) serving under Jedi officers. He survived Order 66 because of that decision. In fact, he and his militia survived _almost two decades into the Empire's reign_. It was basically a rather well-armed but still unnoticeable insurgency that Vader only pays attention to it for the sake of training Marek. Nonetheless, Kota's militia survived for two decades. That is an amazing feat that demands guile, something that Kota lacked in _final minute_ and got Marek killed.
+Byron Mak Mace Windu also wanted to kill the Emperor much earlier, so Kota really made a bad decision. He was a bit like Anakin, when he defended Palpatine and caused Windu's death...
+Byron Mak Actually, this is sort of touched on in the dialogue exchange between Marek and Kota. Marek states it too, "He's stronger than you know." The kicker is the "He deserves to die for what he's done to me." Kota knows that if Marek were to strike him down, the Emperor still would've won in corrupting him. The Force amplifies emotional turmoil to great lengths, hence why the Jedi and Sith are so extreme in simple situations where there is normally grey area in the real world. (IE, Anakin's fears led him to commit extensive atrocities and forsake his brother-like teacher all over a premonition of his wife's death). This is why Kota (who actually is a bit of an inconsistency himself as you pointed out with relying on paranoia to survive) has a change of heart, simply because he recognizes that allowing Marek to kill the Emperor would've led to Marek himself falling completely to the Dark Side again.
+Byron Mak True you have a point, Marek could have killed Palpatine but if he did it out of rage, he would have made Palpatine more stronger than anything. Remember even in death Jedi and Sith have power and influences the others to sway either to the light or dark side of the the Force so if he did killed the Emperor he would just made Palpatine have more sway over the future bearers of the Force.
My head-canon is that this occurs just prior to Rebels S3E18. Alliance command is formed by those Galen rescued and Mon Mothma sending out her message during that episode of Rebels is the first "call to arms". Following Marek's death and the newly founded Alliance born from his sacrifice, the Ghost Crew and their "cell" join the official Rebellion following their evacuation of Chopper Base. Then you get the Battle of Lothal followed by Rogue One and A New Hope with The Force Unleashed II probably fitting somewhere after the destruction of the first Death Star.
With Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn finding those pieces of plans for the Death Star. And had miss Orso and jimmy Luna. The descendant of the original founder of the civilization far far way. Cass of Andor. 10,000 years ago. A freedom fighter who opposed the earth federations rule on a far far away colony. Getting those final pieces of the Death Star plans in scarif and then sending them to Leia. Thus begins A New Hope. Also Thrawn and Ezra being thrown into the unknown regions. And Ezra being consumed by the dark side and becomes a dark Jedi. And Thrawn returns to civilized space and discovers that the empire is in shambles and leads some of the imperial remnants into his command. Giving the rebel alliance teams a major obstacle to deal with. Plus the mandalorian is doing his bounty hunting business of his.
Thats why i hate the jedi. We'll just let him live so he can start a whole new war we are "forced" to fight in. Then you'll really be back to square one and facing a more powerful enemy
While I do think Rebels greatly improved as the show went on (especially as season two came to its end), as far as an origin story for the Rebel Alliance is concerned, I still prefer this. I always thought there was a sort of poetic justice behind the Empire being toppled by a Rebellion unwittingly created by the Emperor and Vader. The Marek family crest being used as the Alliance's symbol was also a nice touch.
I disagree. The Emperor and Vader creating the Rebellion made them look like dumbasses. It also made Starkiller a Gary Stu as the one responsible for the Rebellion. It also makes no sense that Bail Organa's involvement was exposed in the game, since during A New Hope he was on Alderaan. I prefer Rebels.
@@jackhummer8344 And how is Starkiller a Gary Stu? At least he was trained and has a legitimate backstory, unlike some other characters. Starkiller in origin is similar to Maul. Both taken in by sith at a young age, and trained to take out Jedi and the likes. Both are betrayed by their masters, both seeks revenge. Galen through his own story gets redemption, Maul gets beaten down by papa palps. If there's any story that's batshit crazy, its Force Unleashed 2.
@@SweetDreamsHalo3 Let's see... he kills Shaak Ti, which is honestly bull. He pulls a Star Destroyer out of the sky. He founds and saves the Rebellion. He kicks Vader's ass twice, which is even more bull. And in the Dark Side ending, he's still apparently better than Vader in every way since he turns Luke to the dark side and brutally murders Obi-Wan. His backstory isn't that much either, nor does it change that he's an overpowered Gary Stu with a generic redemption arc.
@@brysonstiles6737here's the thing tho, i'm not sure he *wanted* to kill Galen. He tricked him, yeah, but every chance he got to kill him he didn't take. And it makes sense, especially when you consider Galen was basically the closest thing Vader ever had to a son, Luke included, plus he was actually competent, which Vader really likes.
The virgin Rey: -Savenger from a rip off Tatooine -Lives on heavy plot armor -Swings a lightsaber like a 10 year old playing Star Wars in their back yard -Needs two lightsabers to deflect Palpatine’s lightning -Commits identity theft *The chad Starkiller:* -Was both a Jedi and a Sith -Kicks ass with a backwards lightsaber -Uses force lightning while still being a Jedi -Deflects Palpatine’s lightning with just his hands -Sacrificed himself to save the senators and is responsible for the formation of the Rebel alliance
Same. I had the PSP version (the same as the PS2 and Wii one) and I was appalled when I found out the next-gen (back then, the PS3/X360/PC one) didn't have a proper Sidious fight
Auri El only Galen (literally) went out out with a bang! Yoda wusses out even tho them they fought on do float whilst Vader just goes traitor on the Emperor last minute
5:29 - 6:13 well it looks like vaders very sad his plan back fired and he liked his apprentice. He really wanted to overthrow Palpatine with his student yet Palpatine kept forcing him to betray his apprentice. Now he has to clone him. Kinda like TCW dooku he liked training Assaj and Palpatine scolded dooku for making ventress too strong and dookus like: fine...
Give me this over Rebels any day. Remember what the tag line was? 'This game is about kicking ass using the Force' Better the Alliance Starbird came from here than from some Mandalorian explosives lover with a penchant for graffiti.
I'm praying that they bring Galen into the next season of Rebels, if it is indeed set before the official formation of the Rebel Alliance. Imagine if Galen, still in the thrall of Vader, stormed Echo Base to kill Kanan and Ezra, or was dispatched to hunt down and kill Ahsoka.
Aidan Keogh Well I hope SOMETHING kills Ezra. They've blended Kyle Katarn in with Rahm Kota now; just check the newest look for Kanan Jarrus (Caleb Dume) and you'll see.
***** Kreia is quite possibly the best Sith / Jedi ever, even admitting 'perhaps these are the delusions of an old woman who has grown to rely on the thing she despises'. Besides, there are implications Kanan's sight might be restored via Dathomiri magic.
NeidalRuekk That or Kanan may simply have to become proficient with Force Sight, not really a super rare power, as Jedi of some races where born blind and still excelled within the Order.
Aidan Keogh They may yet 'canonise' Miraluka with this ability. ***k you disney... As I recall, Visas Marr and Darth Traya used it to get around, along with Meetra Surik who was taught it by them.
I will always cry after every ending of star wars Force unleashed. It is beautiful game with wonderfully and talently written story. The Force is always strong with you Galen Marek!
Bruh, the fucking storytelling. When Kota was being electrocuted and vader was helpless, starkiller had to make a decision. Mirroring Luke in the return of the jedi, except his was of whether to kill vader out of revenge and pain, or to save kota. This is star wars, this is what the new shit was lacking, the actual soul of the franchise is here. I thought I was crazy, I thought that I was always wrong and that the new shit was just as good, but no, this IS STAR WARS AND I LOVE EVERY FUCKING PIECE OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!
First the sequel (Force Unleashed 2) ruined Galen Marek. Now Disney ruined all of this badass origin. WIth Star Wars Rogue One out, I really wish they make a reference to this event.
How would they have? Pretty much the first half or two thirds of the movie was proving to Alliance Command that the Death Star exists and that its a threat. Why would they have needed to prove that to Mon Mothma when she almost died herself on it?
@@mannnyald3310 Very mature. Insulting real life people for a fictional badly written character. How old are you kid? Time to drink your daily dose of breast milk.
When first playing this, you think that line by Palpatine “more powerful than ever” assumes he became a force ghost or something because the same line is said by Obi wan, but in reality he meant that Starkiller became a martyr, and a symbol for the new rebellion. I just like the sort of vagueness with that line as it could honestly be interpreted either way.
Skywalkers are basically Gods with the force though, they always have been one way or another. Vader was feared for many reasons. He has feats that prove he can talk out 8 Jedi Knights alone, while (yes) being a cyborg
(Sonic confront Yuji Naka) Amy: He's beaten. Let it go. Sonic: It's a trick! He's a jerk than you know, and he deserves to die for what he's done to you! Amy: Maybe so, but if you kill him in anger, you'll become murder.
This needs to be a movie. Because the person who did the voice of starkiller was also who they based the animation off of. He also does real acting. This would be an instant hit. If they could pull it off it would be my favorite one. The story is just so worthy of it.
Now EA is trying to replace this dude with a shoddy redo with Disney backing it by claiming this as noncanon... I'll never forget the one that started this spinoff StarWars story and did it super awesomely.
There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no death, there is the Force.
Flowing through all, there is balance There is no peace without a passion to create There is no passion without peace to guide Knowledge stagnates without the strength to act Power blinds without the serenity to see There is freedom in life There is purpose in death The Force is all things and I am the Force
NYG5 Yeah they should have made it harder to escape. How that ship made it out without a horde of starfighters on its tail is beyond me. And unlike ANH, this isn't actually a ruse and they actually do want to kill the guys.
***** They have similarities (they are both winged emblems), and the Malek family crest may have been inspired by the Old Republic symbol, but put the two side by side and they are still vastly different.
Id love a character that didnt study light or dark specifically...imagine if there was a main character to a star wars story that had regular emotional thoughts and normal/good morels...itd be so cool to see someone use light when happy and dark wjen annoyed/irritated/angry without going bat shir hungry for power
When I first played this game, I never noticed Vader at the bottom right, so I went straight for Sidious. But when I did notice the 2nd time, that's the only ending I ever went for.
this game was great i loved it and disney just comes and tell me it's non cannon well fuck them the only way that i'm gonna accept them is if they do some awsome movies with great stories though the trailer already seems like a big fail i'm gonna wait and i will decide what it's going to be canon pre disney or post disney
@Brent 21 And I don't consider anything from Disney canon either. I have already said that many times. What part of NO LUCAS = NO STAR WARS do you not get??
You mean episode 6? Episode 7 isn't out yet. I don't get it too I thought yoda said Luke was the only Jedi left and how did he use the force to pull down a whole star destroyer?? That's way to big
+Ahmad Rabah First of all, this game is non-canon. It takes places before a "New Hope". The supposed Jedi you play as is Galen Marek, the son of a jedi who was killed by Vader on Kashyyk. I say "supposed" because Galen becomes Vader´s apprentice after the death of his father, which makes him kind of a Sith. Later, he carried out different tasks for Vader, mostly consisting of killing Jedis that survived Order 66. Vader made Galen Marek or "Starkiller" believe, that he wants to kill the Emperor with him by rallying dissident elements (=later known as the Rebel Alliance) . However, this turned out to be a trick by Vader and the Emperor, who want to drive out the secret enemies of the empire out of hiding. After this betrayal and the capture of the rebel leaders, Galen became a Jedi, because he underwent the trials in the Jedi temple on Coruscant. He then flew to the unfinished first Deathstar to confront Vader and the Emperor and rescue the leaders of the Alliance. What then happens is shown in the video. There is also a dark side ending where you kill Vader and take his place. But as I said, nothing of this is canon. It relates in no way to the upcoming Episode 7.
4:46 since Rey could throw force lightning, I think this is how Episode IX should have been ended: Rey blocks Palpatine's force ligthning with her hands, first she cannot resist, but later she approaches to the Emperor, deflecting his lightning to him, and both dying, as in the original movie.
As much fun and badass this game was, I'm glad it isn't canon personally. Hot take I guess? I just think there being a canon force user who was strong enough to defeat both Vader & the Emperor really messes with the prophecy and Luke needing to turn Vader when there was someone who could've toppled the Sith singlehandedly years before
The prophecy was not that the most powerful Jedi will bring back the balance, it was that The Chosen One would do it. Starkiller despite all his might wasn't The Chosen One.
The guy who said let him go really dropped the ball. The whole thing could have been over right there. Instead he got Starkiller killed and caused many more years of war. Good job Kota
Sidious's template for talking: Something, something darkside, something, something, deathstar complete. Application: I will have cereal on the darkside of my room when the deathstar is complete.
So Galen is the biggest Mary Sue in Star Wars lore? Cool. I'm really, really relieved that this is no longer canon. Hard to take the movies seriously when every major character who shows up never comes close to being as powerful, influential or morally righteous as that kid from the video game.
Mahin Mahauthaman I know I'm late but.... Galem was trained from childhood to become a killing machine. He was raised to master the force as a weapon. He worked his way to his immense power. Plus, people with purpose go longer lengths to achieve what they desire. The alliance meant everything to Galen. That was enough to push him far enough to defeat the emperor. Not Mary Sue at all. It actually makes sense. Not like Rey. She is gay. Propaganda. Now I'm not biased because I very much liked Jyn Erso but Rey is feminazi garbage. One day she is a dumbshit teen, the other, a highly able warrior with excellent mastery of every combat skill possible whether it be piloting, force mastery, lightsaber combat without having attempted a single one of the aformentioned activities. That is bullshit
Mahin Mahauthaman You obviously never read the books or played any games. Galen is far from overpowered in the Star Wars Universe. Movie verse perhaps, but numerous examples of Sithlords could easily surpass any example you could give of him as Mary Sue. Palestine, Nihilus, Revan, Plageius. Look up their feats. Not to mentioned that he earned his abilities through years of torturous training. Unlike Mary Sue Rey or that whiny emo kid Kylo Ren.
L.T. Power I know I'm late here but have you ever read on the shit that luke can do after episode 6? he makes galen look like a push over. One thing out of the many I loved about the expanded universe was that it showed just how powerful and dangerous the force is with characters like nihilus.
@Jorrejolle the evil ending for force unleashed 1 was just a what if ending they went with the good ending to make the force unleashed II with vader making a clone of starkiller to destroy the alliance
Pisses me off that Vader did nothing against Palp, like he kills anyone that calls him Anakin, yet when someone says "kill him, hes weak" he doesn't do shit.
This is great story of redemption but seriously Kota; "let him go?"
He's not striking him down out of anger he's striking him down out of logic.
Well if Starkiller kills sidious then the original trilogy will be cancelled XD
And yeh he shouldve killed palpatine as then starkiller will become the ultimate rebel alliance hero
How many Imperial lifes took Starkiller?And then after striking the real danger it becomes anger?!
No it's the point, if he strikes him down in anger he is the same and will become the same, that's the moral it doesn't need to be logical
Andi Mason That’s the logic of the Jedi. Same reason why Bultar Swan didn’t kill Darth Vader.

Vader’s voice sounds like a mix of sadness and guilt here, he is genuinely saddened by starkiller’s death
4:54 Vader just standing there tho 😂😂
He was expecting to see the Palpatine die
"Naw man. Naw you got this!"
One light saber to the chest he kills to birds with one stone
@@brysonstiles6737here's the thing tho, i'm not sure he *wanted* to kill Galen. He tricked him, yeah, but every chance he got to kill him he didn't take. And it makes sense, especially when you consider Galen was basically the closest thing Vader ever had to a son, Luke included, plus he was actually competent, which Vader really likes.
The virgin Rey:
-Savenger from a rip off Tatooine
-Lives on heavy plot armor
-Swings a lightsaber like a 10 year old playing Star Wars in their back yard
-Needs two lightsabers to deflect Palpatine’s lightning
-Commits identity theft
*The chad Starkiller:*
-Was both a Jedi and a Sith
-Kicks ass with a backwards lightsaber
-Uses force lightning while still being a Jedi
-Deflects Palpatine’s lightning with just his hands
-Sacrificed himself to save the senators and is responsible for the formation of the Rebel alliance
Eh, I prefer the Wii version of this fight. At least then, Sidious had a lightsaber.
Torterra So do I. And I actually have this game for the Wii. So yeah.

Laaaaaaaaaraaa
Give me this over Rebels any day. Remember what the tag line was?
'This game is about kicking ass using the Force'
Better the Alliance Starbird came from here than from some Mandalorian explosives lover with a penchant for graffiti.
I'm praying that they bring Galen into the next season of Rebels, if it is indeed set before the official formation of the Rebel Alliance.
Imagine if Galen, still in the thrall of Vader, stormed Echo Base to kill Kanan and Ezra, or was dispatched to hunt down and kill Ahsoka.
Aidan Keogh Well I hope SOMETHING kills Ezra. They've blended Kyle Katarn in with Rahm Kota now; just check the newest look for Kanan Jarrus (Caleb Dume) and you'll see.
***** Kreia is quite possibly the best Sith / Jedi ever, even admitting 'perhaps these are the delusions of an old woman who has grown to rely on the thing she despises'.
Besides, there are implications Kanan's sight might be restored via Dathomiri magic.
NeidalRuekk That or Kanan may simply have to become proficient with Force Sight, not really a super rare power, as Jedi of some races where born blind and still excelled within the Order.
Aidan Keogh They may yet 'canonise' Miraluka with this ability. ***k you disney... As I recall, Visas Marr and Darth Traya used it to get around, along with Meetra Surik who was taught it by them.
This is exactly what I was expecting to see in the rise of the Skywalker
I will always cry after every ending of star wars Force unleashed. It is beautiful game with wonderfully and talently written story. The Force is always strong with you Galen Marek!
4:06 THE SNOW NEVER BOTHERED ME ANYWAY
This is part of true Star Wars canon, The Expanded Universe.
Before the dark times of Di$ney Star Wars which can never be even considered as canon.
Bruh, the fucking storytelling. When Kota was being electrocuted and vader was helpless, starkiller had to make a decision. Mirroring Luke in the return of the jedi, except his was of whether to kill vader out of revenge and pain, or to save kota. This is star wars, this is what the new shit was lacking, the actual soul of the franchise is here. I thought I was crazy, I thought that I was always wrong and that the new shit was just as good, but no, this IS STAR WARS AND I LOVE EVERY FUCKING PIECE OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Are we ready to finish what he started? Senator Organa or Kylo Ren 🤔
To me it's still canon no matter what Disney said.
Fuck Disney they ruin everything they touch with family friendly content and there greedy ways..
@@anomonyous it makes sense tho, if you reffer to star killer's power then you forget he s been trained since childhood by Anakin in combat.
I really loved how this tied Episode III to Episode IV *and* introduced a bit of Timothy Zhan's Trilogy...
Unicron4ever In the Wii version of Force Unleashed, there is a Mara Jade character skin.
Unicron4ever how did it correlate with the thrawn trilogy?
First the sequel (Force Unleashed 2) ruined Galen Marek. Now Disney ruined all of this badass origin. WIth Star Wars Rogue One out, I really wish they make a reference to this event.
XLBR the sequel wasn’t Galen Marek, it was his clone
In Rogue One they did name Jyns father Galen
@@xRolyJoel And I was REALLY confused.
How would they have? Pretty much the first half or two thirds of the movie was proving to Alliance Command that the Death Star exists and that its a threat. Why would they have needed to prove that to Mon Mothma when she almost died herself on it?
@@bowenorcutt78 this was an ancient 5 years old comment. Rogue One did a shit job in giving birth to the Rebellion.

Lmao *DEW IT*
I would have honestly preferred this ending and not continue into a sequal. Kinda ruined this good ending
When first playing this, you think that line by Palpatine “more powerful than ever” assumes he became a force ghost or something because the same line is said by Obi wan, but in reality he meant that Starkiller became a martyr, and a symbol for the new rebellion. I just like the sort of vagueness with that line as it could honestly be interpreted either way.
Childhood game. Oh nostalgia. The first game I ever played.
“Defeat the Emperor”
Sure thing, sounds easy enough.
It’s like in BOTW “Destroy Ganon” right out the gate
Ill destroy his wormy self with my nearly destroyed stick, ez
The way Vader looks at Gallen’s body says to me he cared a lot more for him then he himself realised
I hate Kota, he’s the reason why Vader and Palpatine aren’t dead
"Kill him, he was WEAK!" I have no idea why but this is my favourite Palpatine quote. I chuckle everytime.
I was gonna kill Vader but then found out it didn’t really kill him and just went for the good end
Primal Spongebob fr? I thought u did kill him
I don't like the idea of Star Killer being insanely powerful. It ruins making Darth Vader look intimidating and powerful.
Vader was never really THAT powerful in the first place anyway
+Daniel Dough Vader was powerful star killer is way to op
+Joey McIntosh doesn't matter how insanely powerful you are if you can't take a hit. Vader took it all and he's still standing
Skywalkers are basically Gods with the force though, they always have been one way or another. Vader was feared for many reasons. He has feats that prove he can talk out 8 Jedi Knights alone, while (yes) being a cyborg
SnoopDoggWithABlog is star killer in the new comics?
Why does TFU consistently have some of the best lines in Star Wars media?
Starkiller it's a better developed character than Rey sincerly
(Sonic confront Yuji Naka)
Amy: He's beaten. Let it go.
Sonic: It's a trick! He's a jerk than you know, and he deserves to die for what he's done to you!
Amy: Maybe so, but if you kill him in anger, you'll become murder.
Nobody understands how the force works around ‘anger’ in this comment section goddamn.
This needs to be a movie. Because the person who did the voice of starkiller was also who they based the animation off of. He also does real acting. This would be an instant hit. If they could pull it off it would be my favorite one. The story is just so worthy of it.
I love how it’s just basically you and him throwing lighting at one another
Then after it fades to black, Kota is like, "Let's do it, baby!".
Starkiller is my favorite character from starwars. What a beast. Hopefully they will bring him in the movies, shows, and future games
He just pulled an UNLIMITED POWER.
Normal people when seeing this: The emperor vs vader apprentice
Me seeing this:
Zeuz vs Kratos
well... sure. Starkiller is the Kratos or Doom Guy of Star Wars.
"Your hair makes you weak." Palpatine
Now EA is trying to replace this dude with a shoddy redo with Disney backing it by claiming this as noncanon...
I'll never forget the one that started this spinoff StarWars story and did it super awesomely.

Aka clones of the republic
NYG5 Yeah they should have made it harder to escape. How that ship made it out without a horde of starfighters on its tail is beyond me. And unlike ANH, this isn't actually a ruse and they actually do want to kill the guys.
Gotta love the irony that Sam Witwer who of is Starkiller would later voice Sidious in the Clone Wars
It's funny how prequel Sideous was a frightening sword fighting maniac and original trilogy Sideous is just a mage who really likes thunder magic
So, the rebel symbol is just a stone carving? yeah, that's inspiring.
It's the crest of Starkiller/Galen Marek's family
Still, no one's gonna know that (except us because we learn that from the comfort of our sofa/chair).
No one's gonna know that it's "just a stone carving" either ;)
Diego Magallona good point.
***** They have similarities (they are both winged emblems), and the Malek family crest may have been inspired by the Old Republic symbol, but put the two side by side and they are still vastly different.
2009 was a magical time for the internet, and for Star Wars too.
Before Disney put a finger on it.
This
Rise of skywalker stole this scene with Galen and used it for ray.
Man I wish TFU was canon. Obviously I don't mean the second game, but Starkiller's sacrifice is fucking perfect.
Mace mindu had the right idea " He's too dangerous to be kept alive! " Mace was striking him down out of duty.
Id love a character that didnt study light or dark specifically...imagine if there was a main character to a star wars story that had regular emotional thoughts and normal/good morels...itd be so cool to see someone use light when happy and dark wjen annoyed/irritated/angry without going bat shir hungry for power
When I first played this game, I never noticed Vader at the bottom right, so I went straight for Sidious. But when I did notice the 2nd time, that's the only ending I ever went for.
The Emperor reminds me of Ozzie Osbourne
this game was great i loved it and disney just comes and tell me it's non cannon
well fuck them the only way that i'm gonna accept them is if they do some awsome movies with great stories
though the trailer already seems like a big fail i'm gonna wait
and i will decide what it's going to be canon pre disney or post disney
It was never canon. Lucas had no involvement with the game. The Old EU is just as non cannon as the current. Lucas himself has stated that many times.
@Brent 21
And I don't consider anything from Disney canon either. I have already said that many times.
What part of NO LUCAS = NO STAR WARS do you not get??
Surprising how well this game has held up to time
This game was awsome if you can remember all those cool combos and you can be a sith something I always wanted in a Star Wars game
I dont understand this game... Is this like an alternative ending of Star Wars 7?
You mean episode 6? Episode 7 isn't out yet. I don't get it too I thought yoda said Luke was the only Jedi left and how did he use the force to pull down a whole star destroyer?? That's way to big
6 yea sorry
+Ahmad Rabah First of all, this game is non-canon. It takes places before a "New Hope".
The supposed Jedi you play as is Galen Marek, the son of a jedi who was killed by Vader on Kashyyk. I say "supposed" because Galen becomes Vader´s apprentice after the death of his father, which makes him kind of a Sith. Later, he carried out different tasks for Vader, mostly consisting of killing Jedis that survived Order 66.
Vader made Galen Marek or "Starkiller" believe, that he wants to kill the Emperor with him by rallying dissident elements (=later known as the Rebel Alliance) . However, this turned out to be a trick by Vader and the Emperor, who want to drive out the secret enemies of the empire out of hiding.
After this betrayal and the capture of the rebel leaders, Galen became a Jedi, because he underwent the trials in the Jedi temple on Coruscant. He then flew to the unfinished first Deathstar to confront Vader and the Emperor and rescue the leaders of the Alliance. What then happens is shown in the video.
There is also a dark side ending where you kill Vader and take his place.
But as I said, nothing of this is canon. It relates in no way to the upcoming Episode 7.
Colonel Radec Thanks for the explanation
Vahlen i
Vader's just standing in the back like fuck my life
Still a better story than Rise of Skywalker.
Disney couldn’t use this. It actually has a plot to follow along with likable characters.
@@snowfox4277 Straight facts. 🤙
This was without doubt one of the best endings and best game ever of Star Wars.
4:46 since Rey could throw force lightning, I think this is how Episode IX should have been ended: Rey blocks Palpatine's force ligthning with her hands, first she cannot resist, but later she approaches to the Emperor, deflecting his lightning to him, and both dying, as in the original movie.
4:13 such a missed opportunity for "if you strike him down in anger he will become more powerful than you could ever imagine..."
No one talking about how Darth Vader is casually standing behind Emperor when Starkiller and Emperor are dueling at end 🤣🤣🤣
Given that caused an explosion, you would think Starkiller and palpatine would be burned or scared.
He should've attacked Disney when they decided to make this non cannon
As much fun and badass this game was, I'm glad it isn't canon personally. Hot take I guess? I just think there being a canon force user who was strong enough to defeat both Vader & the Emperor really messes with the prophecy and Luke needing to turn Vader when there was someone who could've toppled the Sith singlehandedly years before
The prophecy was not that the most powerful Jedi will bring back the balance, it was that The Chosen One would do it. Starkiller despite all his might wasn't The Chosen One.
The Emperor let Starkiller win. And, I know that this is impossible for some people to grasp, but: Vader isn't unbeatable.
The guy who said let him go really dropped the ball. The whole thing could have been over right there. Instead he got Starkiller killed and caused many more years of war. Good job Kota
3:57 dew it
Sidious's template for talking: Something, something darkside, something, something, deathstar complete.
Application: I will have cereal on the darkside of my room when the deathstar is complete.
So Galen is the biggest Mary Sue in Star Wars lore? Cool.
I'm really, really relieved that this is no longer canon. Hard to take the movies seriously when every major character who shows up never comes close to being as powerful, influential or morally righteous as that kid from the video game.
Mahin Mahauthaman I know I'm late but....
Galem was trained from childhood to become a killing machine. He was raised to master the force as a weapon. He worked his way to his immense power. Plus, people with purpose go longer lengths to achieve what they desire. The alliance meant everything to Galen. That was enough to push him far enough to defeat the emperor. Not Mary Sue at all. It actually makes sense. Not like Rey. She is gay. Propaganda. Now I'm not biased because I very much liked Jyn Erso but Rey is feminazi garbage. One day she is a dumbshit teen, the other, a highly able warrior with excellent mastery of every combat skill possible whether it be piloting, force mastery, lightsaber combat without having attempted a single one of the aformentioned activities. That is bullshit
Mahin Mahauthaman
You obviously never read the books or played any games. Galen is far from overpowered in the Star Wars Universe.
Movie verse perhaps, but numerous examples of Sithlords could easily surpass any example you could give of him as Mary Sue.
Palestine, Nihilus, Revan, Plageius. Look up their feats.
Not to mentioned that he earned his abilities through years of torturous training. Unlike Mary Sue Rey or that whiny emo kid Kylo Ren.
L.T. Power
Ah yes, who could forget Darth Palestine, destroyer of the space jews?
L.T. Power I know I'm late here but have you ever read on the shit that luke can do after episode 6? he makes galen look like a push over.
One thing out of the many I loved about the expanded universe was that it showed just how powerful and dangerous the force is with characters like nihilus.
poor Vader...
he was almost killed and after that he was even knocked out beacuse of explosion ;-;
It about time they did the film to this 2 part game series.
Wouldn't we hear Anakin's voice without the helmet? We see that in the Obi-wan series.
Palpatine: *I am once again asking you to DEW IT*
After all these years I’m still glad anakins scar is on Vader like it should be. Disney and the 1980s movies didn’t do that
@Jorrejolle the evil ending for force unleashed 1 was just a what if ending they went with the good ending to make the force unleashed II with vader making a clone of starkiller to destroy the alliance
4:52
Vader in the background: "hey so do you need any help o- OH SHIT"

Pisses me off that Vader did nothing against Palp, like he kills anyone that calls him Anakin, yet when someone says "kill him, hes weak" he doesn't do shit.
