Galen Marek — codename Starkiller — has never appeared in a Star Wars film. He is the player character of The Force Unleashed (2008) and its 2010 sequel, written as Darth Vader's secret apprentice in the years between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. The games moved into the Legends continuity in 2014, so Starkiller is Legends rather than current canon — which changes nothing about why the character endures.
Two things keep Starkiller in circulation. The first is the premise: an apprentice powerful enough to drag a Star Destroyer out of the sky, hidden from the Emperor by Vader himself. The second is the ending, in which the Marek family crest becomes the starbird the Rebellion flies — the story exists to explain where the Rebel Alliance came from. There is a footnote for collectors, too. "Starkiller" was Luke's surname in George Lucas's early drafts of the 1977 film, and the name was recycled here decades later.
Two corrections, because both come up constantly. It is not a saberstaff and it does not split in two — the sequel hands Starkiller two separate lightsabers to fight with at once, which is a different thing entirely, and every hilt in this collection is a single-blade build. And there was never a fixed colour: The Force Unleashed lets you swap crystals, so the blade is whatever you set it to. The story leans red while he serves Vader and blue after he turns, but the game never committed. That is close to how our sabers work — colour and effects are configured on the soundboard, not fixed to the hilt.
There are two hilt interpretations here, plus a 1:1 wearable replica helmet from the game. One hilt runs across both blade formats — Base Lit with the RGBx soundboard for the best-value route into duelling, or Neopixel with Xenopixel or Proffie for travelling ignition and flash-on-clash. The other is Neopixel only, so check the option list on each product page. Shipping is free to the UK, EU and US on all lightsabers. Keep a spare blade to hand if you spar. If it is the games era that draws you rather than the films, the Revan collection is the other side of the same coin, and the wider Sith lightsaber range sits alongside it.
No. Starkiller is a games character — The Force Unleashed and its sequel — and has never appeared on film.
The Force Unleashed moved to the Legends continuity in 2014, so Starkiller is Legends rather than current canon.
Starkiller's real name. He is taken as a child and trained in secret by Darth Vader, and his story ends with the Marek family crest becoming the Rebel Alliance's starbird.
It was never fixed — the game lets you change crystals. On our sabers colour and effects are configured on the soundboard, not fixed to the hilt.
No. In the sequel he fights with two separate lightsabers rather than one double-bladed hilt. Every build in this collection is single-blade.
No. These are replica-style builds inspired by the character, assembled and installed by us — not licensed merchandise.
