Vader realized that he had squandered his opportunity to eliminate Sidious and the rebels, all by underestimating the willpower of his most servile and potentially powerful former apprentice.
He believed his child was dead, and then he adopted one and played the role of strict father with him. Then the child died fighting against him and the man he wants dead. After that he found his real child alive and hoped to join him. Then his child begin to behave like his old boy and when he was about to die, Vader had no other choice but to do what he always desired.
Almost to all porpoises he, Lord Vader, was the Father of Galen Marek/Starkiller, in the Novel when Everyone notice That Starkiller is arriving to the throne room the Emperor is pissed and said "Lord Vader, Deal with boy, this time once and for all".
So let me get this straight Galen whooped a prime suited up Vader then spared him to save kota. Then went on to fight and defeat palpatine in combat and spared him only because kota begged him to. Then died for it. If kota wouldn’t have foolishly interfered Vader and Palpatine would both be dead and the empire would be destroyed. Thanks Kota.😑
Palpatine was actually stronger and just faking it, in the other ending (the one were you kill Vader) he explains that starkiller had great potential and could become his equal but things didn't go as planned. Even in this ending you see how palpatin tanked the explosion while galen died
1 Vader isn’t at his prime during this game, in old Canon Vader lost his power his power he as Anakin and had to grind back to that power which he didn’t reach back and surpass it till around New Hope which both game take place Years before that movie which the Second game novel and guides show Vader is actually beating Starkiller with little effort and holding back, only losing thx to the light rods powering up Starkiller and abusing his life support. Galen would stand no chance to a Return of the Jedi Vader which where he at strongest and was on Par with Sidious 2 Sidious is clearly holding back, good ending Galen note it a trick and that he more stronger then he letting himself appear, making it clear he. Was holding back in this fight and Bad ending Sidious is shown easily Beating Galen with ease and even guidebook confirms Galen never actually stood a chance to him. Kota interring wouldn’t have changed nothing, Sidious was clearly just temping Galen so he would given into the Darkside, the man was never in any real danger
@@spinozilla2421 vader never lost his power. It was just very hard for him to fight in the suit and also losing his legs and arm made his potential very limited
6:55 he became one with the force, thats why he was able to keep up with Sidious for a brief moment and thats why Sidious couldnt keep on pretending he was fighting
I never understood why at 6:54 Vader didn’t strike palpatine. Starkillers whole point from Vader’s point of view was to overthrow the Emperor, he had him distracted and his back turned on vader, it would’ve been the perfect opportunity. Also that look on Palpatine’s face at 7:52 really shows how disgusted he is with the idea of keeping old vader around. He almost looks as if he’s about to say something but knows Vader’s emotional so he doesn’t.
Palpatine knew about Starkiller the entire time. Vader *never* kept Starkiller a secret from Palpatine, he just let Starkiller think that they were going to kill Palpatine. As for why Vader didn't kill Palpatine, he may have been unsure that he could keep the Empire under control without the official Emperor or he may have been afraid that Palpatine would sense it and somehow be able to injure him without breaking his attention away from Starkiller. He is the only man in the galaxy Vader fears for a reason.
vader was probably worried if he took out sidious he wouldnt be able to beat starkiller, especially since he just lost to him and was badly injured to boot. plus hes weak to lightning, so if he killed palpatine the lightning from the two would definitely kill him, again especially since he was injured. i mean just look at rotj, and he wasnt nearly as injured there and it wasnt nearly as much lightning since it was only sidious and not doubled with starkiller
@@realJoeMavro Good assessment. There's no way to be certain Palpatine doesn't somehow sense the attack. It'd also be showing Vader's hand far too early.
Vader has no reason or motivation at the moment, he weak and injured obviously can’t go Round 2 with Starkiller and would lose and thus the Empire is over. Obvious fear of Sidious since he know in 2v1 they still lose badly as Sidious isn’t even trying and holding back the whole time in this fight, along with no real connection to Starkiller like he had with Luke who was his Son and who kept begging him to turn back to light side
@@Darknesss490correct, Palpatine lost on purpose, Starkiller even point out how it all a “trick” and he is stronger then presenting himself to be. And official material even confirm Starkiller never stood a chance against him. So yeah Palpatine was clearly just trying to lure him back to the Darkside to have him as a pawn, he if really wanted like in the bad ending he could easily defeat and kill him with little effort
Ironic that Force lightning is kryptonite to Vader because fighting Vader in phase 2 was actually more difficult than fighting sidious and Force lightning does minimal damage to Vader. Not to mention the fact that Vader doesn't summon living medipacks for you to kill.
Honestly who ever designed the sound for Vader's broken breathing apparatus is a genius. It just sounds like what I'd expect it to sound like ... Pretty sure this is the only Star Wars Game / Film that has that.. Edit: Never realised this sound design was used in previous films / games as I haven't watched / played all that the StarWars farnchise has to offer. Still a masterwork of sound design regardless ✌🏿. Ya learn more everyday 😂.
You’re leaving out the scene in Episode 6 after vader kills Palpatine. I agree with you though that it sounds exactly what it should sound like, but I’m not surprised, Star Wars is known for having the best sound effects.
This game was SO awesome and I'm so upset the EU is no longer canon. Most dope scene, was when Kota rushes the Emperor and uses the force to yank Palpatine's lightsabre out of his sleeve- since he could sense it was there. We knew the lightsabre was there since we saw Palpatine draw it from his sleeve in Revenge of the Sith, so having that little detail there was epic. Sure, he got fried by Sith Lightning straight away, but that was still a great effort.
@NameyNameName Yes, with good reason. Galen didn't start the rebellion, but he did encourage them to take action as a united group. He's a hell of a lot better and believable than 2017 feminist strong woman icon who everyone loves and accepts instantly, despite being a novice at everything, immediately becoming better than the best jedi, the best pilot, and the best soldier in the span of a couple days and then female Jesus after a year, who manages to defeat God Palpatine with the power of every jedi and the x chromosome lightsaber crucifix blocking his galactic fleet destroying sith lightning and vaporising him with it.
The reason why Galen was able to hold up with Sidious is because right before exploding, he became one with the force. And if im not wrong, he's using tutaminis to hold the lightning. That means he is also absorbing Sidious lightning. He basically used all that energy in a single suicide move to save his friends. But that barely harmed the emperor. Galen could've been stronger than palpatine but at this point he wasn't. And he never did.
Fun fact: Dave Filoni reconsidered to re-canonize Starkiller by making him an Inquisitor in Rebels with a slightly modified backstory, but didn't pan out.
His story is dogshit. Owning Vader and Palpatine like they're bitches and basically takes a shit on all of Star Wars lore. This is even worse than Mary Sue Sequels.
The Emperor could have easily overpowered Starkiller in this fight instead he chose to let him believe he had a chance of winning before crushing him. Classic Palpatine.
He didn't crush him. If he could he would have. Why would he let the rebel leaders escape? Starkiller held him off, and he didn't struggle as Yoda did by the looks of it. There was no strain in his eyes like Yoda when he blocked the lightning. Palpatine even stated in the dark side ending that Starkiller had 'such promise. You could have been my sucessor... my equal." Judging by the fact that he didn't seem strained when holding off the lightning he was Palpatines equal.
@@samdickenson5852 Hes toy with starkiller, even starkiller know "Its a trick hes stronger than you know" sidious fake lose because hes wanted starkiller to strike him down to make him able to transfer his spirit into starkiller by said "Do it" Plus this is not full power from sidious, hes threw the fight because hes need starkiller to become new apprentice or a new younger body
I would more say that with proper training, Starkiller had the potential to rival Palpatine, but Palpatine has more experience and power. So he was still slightly stronger.
@@samdickenson5852 With all due respect, I disagree. When Sidious attacked for real, Starkiller could only HOLD him back, not defeat him (otherwise he would’ve so he could escape to). Finally, when Starkiller closed in on Sidious, you could hear the pain as he screamed “no”. I say Sidious was above him and Vader (obviously)
When i played this 15 years ago it reminded me of the end of Return of the Jedi. Quite similar with the death star half complete and Darth Vader's suit half destroyed
There’s a risk tho like if the host is able to resist or repel the possession then the Sith spirit will be sent to the void and those who are too consumed in the Dark Side will have a weak and old body in just a few mins
I know that its not canon etc but game deserves for 3rd part. It was the masterpiece , also even with that game we have very small amount of SW games that are lighsaber focused. I hope that fallen order sequel will be as good as first part or even better
Everyone says "Starkiller is too powerful" but, come on, trained by Vader since chilhood to actually take down the Emperor. Let's not forget that Palpatine was really busted in Legends, canon Palpatine WISH he could be THAT powerful.
Not to mention the people who bash Galen for supposedly being overpowered totally support Disney for the creation of their Mary Sue. Hypocrites is what they are. Rey is the definition of overpowered. 🙄
@@NostalgicGamerRickOShay Also Rey didn't know a thing about The Force or Lightsaber combat until she was, like, 19 years old? Then she all of suddenly knew everything and no, being the grandaugther of Palpatine wasn't a good excuse for her being OP, not even Anakin was right out all powerful despite being the son of The Force itself. I have to admit, Rey was interesting at first but then ruined her character and poor Daisy Ridley had to ate all the hate for the dumb directors and script writers that wrote her character.
One great thing about Force Unleashed is the irony of of Vader having Starkiller bring together the Rebels only for them to escape, this is rather poetic for Vader and Palpatine's scheme to have become the seed of their undoing.
@@gabrielaj2066 No, I’ve read pieces of the Novel. It doesn’t matter what they wrote. It’s stupid. Sidious and Vader are the two most powerful force users in the galaxy. And they got beat by Starkiller cuz the game devs wanted to make some overrated/overpowered character in the game for fun reasons. Also the novel is Legends now. Plus a lot of the stuff that used to be canon is EU or Legends.
Palpatine is the best movie villain because on top of being full of pride and self-confidence, he is also extremely patient and aware of his standings. He has no problem aknowledging a threat no matter how small it may be, a threat that other more pompous villians would disregard due to an inflated ego.
Vader was watching as they were locked in palpatines lightning just as he watched with Luke and palpatine he was watching debating but didn't save star killer from his lightning as he did Luke in even same music as In return of the Jedi Get this director a movie MAKE A MOVIE💯💯 NOW💯💯
eu pensava que o Mestre Yoda era o único que conseguiu bloquear os poderes de raio do Darth Sidious com as mãos mas o Starkiller também conseguiu bloquear os poderes de raio do Darth Sidious com as mãos
The game is very enjoyable but it just doesn't make sense for it to be canon. To me it just diminishes Luke's story when Starkiller could have done what Luke did and is so much more powerful than him.
Seeing Palaptine completely unharmed after the explosion of their force lightings, made me realize Starkiller didn't actually defeat him. It's like in ROTS where Windu kicked him to the ground and he defended himself with the force. Palpatine knew Anakin was coming and wanted to set up a whole show for him by acting weakened and defeated, but if Anakin never showed up, he would've killed Windu easily. Palptine was just goading Galen to kill him so he can completely turn to the dark side. Palaptine knew he had various clones that he can possess, and he would rise again, but this time stronger than ever.
The game was really good but kota annoyed me in this scene so much. He literally charges palpatine intending to kill him obviously not caring about killing being a step into the dark side but when palpatine is at starkiller’s mercy, they can end the empire and the sith for good he’s like no if you kill him you go into the dark side. The Jedi of the clone wars were so inconsistent with this they literally were neck-deep in the blood of others during the clone wars but they never turned. Like honestly how hard would it be to teach their students that falling to the dark side isn’t the result of an action or circumstances out of their control but a personal choice? Honestly a part of me is glad order 66 worked and they were eradicated.
And that Disney Mary Sue Rey ends up striking down Disney palpatine with a dark side and ends up not falling to the dark side by simply refusing. Completely delegitimatizing the force philosophy that's striking down in anger will set you want a path to the dark side. 🙄
Something I noticed while rewatching this is that these rebel leaders now know that Palpatine is force sensitive and is a Sith Lord. I am not too sure about Legends, but in Canon Palpatine wanted as few people as possible to know that.
I hated that Starkiller tried to kill him to get become emperor himself he could been great sith under his command not get forced and burned alive no wonder Vader wanted to kill him cuz he was too powerfull and would try to take beyone his place
Exactly some people saying Vader is stupid and evil but actually he is wise and smart knows everything he still loved Starkiller before he became more powerfull
@@t-800skynet8 Vader sabia que se Starkiller matasse Palpatine (Vader deu 3 testes para saber se ele era capaz de enfrentar Palpatine ao mandá-lo vencer 3 Jedi poderosos, e Starkiller venceu, tendo 2 mortos e um que fugiu,sendo assim passou nos testes,e depois venceu Vader, e em seguida o próprio Palpatine).
I have seen overhyping but holy shit never to this extent, Vader in this game is far weaker than in the movies, movie Vader demolishes Starkiller, let alone freaking Abeloth who is 12 times stronger than GML.
Jesus Kota are you Jar Jars master or something. When the emperor is down you keep swinging Also those stormtroopers upholding the legacy: 20 meters behind a group of chained starved prisoners and they fail to hit any of them
Isn't it ironic that Rey pulled a similar finisher move on Palpatine? Except that time he died. Here, Starkiller does it with his bare hands, but palpatine survives.
Disney and it's supporters are all a bunch of talentless hacks who rip off older stories and are hypocrites by bashing Galen as overpowered when the character they created is clearly far more powerful because she never suffers a single defeat.
That's one of the reasons why I prefer John Doe vigilante over Batman nowadays. Batman is no true enemy of evil. John Doe vigilante is. The movie John Doe vigilante is great.
Watch the dark side ending and you will see that sidious was clearly only pretending to be defeated. Disney created characters that are far more overpowered than Galen Marak.
He knows that's how things go and he expects it really. It's typical Sith "tough love". Just like every Sith Master expects their apprentice to try to kill and replace them.
I cant understand Sidious. Starkiller most likely attacked him because he attacked Kota if Sidious only pushed Kota away or not let im interfere Starkiller would probably go for Vader and wouldn't betray him the next second after the fight. Sidious didn't kill Padme to convince Anakin so why he thought it would be a good idea in this case? Would it not be the smartest to let Starkiller become a Sith Lord and after that let him kill his friends?
He was powerful but not that powerful. Fool got obliterated and the emporer was untouched. Evidence he's not OP. He can be cannon again. Just change this. have him be a inquisitor but vaders personal favourite, still his secret aprentice. then change the meeting of shak ti to ahsoka (but no death) to show him the truth about their shared master and how he will betray him. Then force unleashed story carrys on the same leading to starkillers death and the birth of the alliance.
No he’s still op. He still ragdolled Vader and sidious. He had the chance to kill both of them and likely would’ve had the original trilogy not already established that Vader and sidious survive til episode 6
@@Albino_Basilisk vader ragdolled him too, palpatine was untouched in their clash. that argument dosent really work. Starkiller is powerful but not as strong as everyone makes him out to be.
@@Djayscratcher98 Starkiller não matou o Palpatine porque o Kota leu o roteiro da trilogia dos eps 4 a 6,e impediu Starkiller de passar o vapo no Palpatine.
In the game's canon, he was op. But, the novelisation version of TFU definitely scales him better, as it doesn't need to be as fun as the game, which was designed to be a power trip.
Do you think Rey is OP? Bashing Galen for supposedly being OP while supporting Ray is why I can't stand the Disney supporters. They are Grade A hypocrites.
"he is dead"
Then he is now more powerful than we can possibly imagine
I see what you did there.
Palpatine: You we're destined to destroy me...
Galen: Ironic...
Maul: Yes…
Me: Recurring theme you have there. Meant to be destroyed, meant to die, but never meant to rule.
Are you sure the dark side is STRONGER???
Vader actually seemed sad when Galen died 😢
Vader realized that he had squandered his opportunity to eliminate Sidious and the rebels, all by underestimating the willpower of his most servile and potentially powerful former apprentice.
son issues

Everyone says "Starkiller is too powerful" but, come on, trained by Vader since chilhood to actually take down the Emperor. Let's not forget that Palpatine was really busted in Legends, canon Palpatine WISH he could be THAT powerful.
Not to mention the people who bash Galen for supposedly being overpowered totally support Disney for the creation of their Mary Sue. Hypocrites is what they are.
Rey is the definition of overpowered. 🙄
@@NostalgicGamerRickOShay Also Rey didn't know a thing about The Force or Lightsaber combat until she was, like, 19 years old? Then she all of suddenly knew everything and no, being the grandaugther of Palpatine wasn't a good excuse for her being OP, not even Anakin was right out all powerful despite being the son of The Force itself. I have to admit, Rey was interesting at first but then ruined her character and poor Daisy Ridley had to ate all the hate for the dumb directors and script writers that wrote her character.
One great thing about Force Unleashed is the irony of of Vader having Starkiller bring together the Rebels only for them to escape, this is rather poetic for Vader and Palpatine's scheme to have become the seed of their undoing.
This is so oldschool, but An GREAT game!
Can’t believe these guys actually made Galen more powerful than Vader and Sidious. I like Starkiller but Wtf lol
Read the novel of this game and then you will change your mind.
@@gabrielaj2066 No, I’ve read pieces of the Novel. It doesn’t matter what they wrote. It’s stupid. Sidious and Vader are the two most powerful force users in the galaxy. And they got beat by Starkiller cuz the game devs wanted to make some overrated/overpowered character in the game for fun reasons. Also the novel is Legends now. Plus a lot of the stuff that used to be canon is EU or Legends.
I agree with you
Palpatine killed him
@@batman6840 And now some random scavenger girl beats palpatine instead of Vaders only apprentice.
Palpatine is the best movie villain because on top of being full of pride and self-confidence, he is also extremely patient and aware of his standings. He has no problem aknowledging a threat no matter how small it may be, a threat that other more pompous villians would disregard due to an inflated ego.
Vader was watching as they were locked in palpatines lightning just as he watched with Luke and palpatine he was watching debating but didn't save star killer from his lightning as he did Luke in even same music as In return of the Jedi Get this director a movie MAKE A MOVIE💯💯 NOW💯💯
eu pensava que o Mestre Yoda era o único que conseguiu bloquear os poderes de raio do Darth Sidious com as mãos mas o Starkiller também conseguiu bloquear os poderes de raio do Darth Sidious com as mãos
6:55 My god that scream.....
It's criminal that this game isn't canon
The game is very enjoyable but it just doesn't make sense for it to be canon. To me it just diminishes Luke's story when Starkiller could have done what Luke did and is so much more powerful than him.
That’s not true, it is canon.
@@korrblank1361 It's not. It was made in 2008 and was declared non-canon upon the purchase of Lucasfilm by Disney.
@@LoganMcBride325 actually it is still canon, that’s just a lie someone made up, pretending to be from Lucasfilm.
@@korrblank1361 No. It is definitely not Canon. It would conflict with Rebels so much it couldn't be Canon even if Disney wanted it to be.
The directors said that Vader through the whole game wasn't even trying, he wanted Starkiller to get the hate and keep it growing
Seeing Palaptine completely unharmed after the explosion of their force lightings, made me realize Starkiller didn't actually defeat him. It's like in ROTS where Windu kicked him to the ground and he defended himself with the force. Palpatine knew Anakin was coming and wanted to set up a whole show for him by acting weakened and defeated, but if Anakin never showed up, he would've killed Windu easily. Palptine was just goading Galen to kill him so he can completely turn to the dark side. Palaptine knew he had various clones that he can possess, and he would rise again, but this time stronger than ever.
Why is Star Wars so goddamn badass???
The game was really good but kota annoyed me in this scene so much. He literally charges palpatine intending to kill him obviously not caring about killing being a step into the dark side but when palpatine is at starkiller’s mercy, they can end the empire and the sith for good he’s like no if you kill him you go into the dark side. The Jedi of the clone wars were so inconsistent with this they literally were neck-deep in the blood of others during the clone wars but they never turned. Like honestly how hard would it be to teach their students that falling to the dark side isn’t the result of an action or circumstances out of their control but a personal choice? Honestly a part of me is glad order 66 worked and they were eradicated.
And that Disney Mary Sue Rey ends up striking down Disney palpatine with a dark side and ends up not falling to the dark side by simply refusing.
Completely delegitimatizing the force philosophy that's striking down in anger will set you want a path to the dark side. 🙄

"d e w i t"

Something I noticed while rewatching this is that these rebel leaders now know that Palpatine is force sensitive and is a Sith Lord. I am not too sure about Legends, but in Canon Palpatine wanted as few people as possible to know that.
lol palpatines hurt sounds *HEEEEEEE! 😆
I hated that Starkiller tried to kill him to get become emperor himself he could been great sith under his command not get forced and burned alive no wonder Vader wanted to kill him cuz he was too powerfull and would try to take beyone his place
Exactly some people saying Vader is stupid and evil but actually he is wise and smart knows everything he still loved Starkiller before he became more powerfull
@@t-800skynet8 Vader sabia que se Starkiller matasse Palpatine (Vader deu 3 testes para saber se ele era capaz de enfrentar Palpatine ao mandá-lo vencer 3 Jedi poderosos, e Starkiller venceu, tendo 2 mortos e um que fugiu,sendo assim passou nos testes,e depois venceu Vader, e em seguida o próprio Palpatine).
oh... well if vador is too easy maybe we can put him in front of abeloth and maybe she will last at least one minute, maybe ;)
I have seen overhyping but holy shit never to this extent, Vader in this game is far weaker than in the movies, movie Vader demolishes Starkiller, let alone freaking Abeloth who is 12 times stronger than GML.
Jesus Kota are you Jar Jars master or something. When the emperor is down you keep swinging
Also those stormtroopers upholding the legacy: 20 meters behind a group of chained starved prisoners and they fail to hit any of them
Sam Witwer vs Sam Witwer
Did anyone notice that Vader's eyes went to the blue as Anakin for a brief moment then turns yellow again
When?
7:49 or a few seconds before it after Starkiller got blasted by lightning and died in this ending
6:55 KENOOOOBI
Worst Jedi teacher: Rahm Kota
Best Jedi Teacher: Darth Traya
GO STAR KILLER
Pregnant Anne Fr-errr I mean Padme is best Padme
This and second game is always Conan to me and others like me
Better than Disney made
6:34 so epic *_____*
E pensar que isso podia ser evitado se o Jedi cegueta não impedisse o Starkiller de matar Palpatine.
when I faced the emperor, he pulled out a lightsaber.
Sam Witwer vs Sam Witwer
This man is talented
Fans: why isn’t star killer canon?
Star Killer:
The Disney sycophants who bash Galen for being overpowered or somehow okay with a far more overpowered character named Rey. 🙄
Because Vader Is the chosen One most powerfoul Jedi/sith . Not starkiller, camon .@@NostalgicGamerRickOShay
I'm trying to do this on hardest difficulty it's actually insane
6:31 he's PALPATINE 😅😅
The PS2/Wii final battle with Sidious was better
There are 2 endings bro
It's ridiculous how fighting Vader in phase 2 is actually more difficult than fighting sidious.
Starkiller is a great Star Wars character.
why the hell do i remember this having way better graphics????????
Tends to happen. There are so many games I played a long time ago that I remember looking amazing, but not quite so in reality.
Isn't it ironic that Rey pulled a similar finisher move on Palpatine? Except that time he died. Here, Starkiller does it with his bare hands, but palpatine survives.
Disney and it's supporters are all a bunch of talentless hacks who rip off older stories and are hypocrites by bashing Galen as overpowered when the character they created is clearly far more powerful because she never suffers a single defeat.
You know Vader is an absolute badass when the Emperor is surprised by his toughness "You must be relentless, Lord Vader"
I think Palpatine meant that he must be relentless in hunting down the rebels so there would be no one left to impose the Empire
This is my question , how the bloody hell did sidous survive that , the lightening bounce back to him how just how
It really bugs me when they play the whole “we are better than them” excuse to keep them alive. Still has to happen so i get it in this case.
That's one of the reasons why I prefer John Doe vigilante over Batman nowadays.
Batman is no true enemy of evil. John Doe vigilante is. The movie John Doe vigilante is great.
Cool fight
Why cut the sound near the end..
Let’s just remember that this guy rag-dolled Sidious
Watch the dark side ending and you will see that sidious was clearly only pretending to be defeated.
Disney created characters that are far more overpowered than Galen Marak.
It's a crime he's not using the blue saber
"Why isn't starkiller canon?"
Lord Saddler
why is Vader so utterly unbothered by the fact that Palpatine tried to replace him just a moment ago?
He knows that's how things go and he expects it really. It's typical Sith "tough love". Just like every Sith Master expects their apprentice to try to kill and replace them.
They nerfed Vader so badly in this game.
Or they bulked Galen to such godly levels.
I cant understand Sidious. Starkiller most likely attacked him because he attacked Kota if Sidious only pushed Kota away or not let im interfere Starkiller would probably go for Vader and wouldn't betray him the next second after the fight. Sidious didn't kill Padme to convince Anakin so why he thought it would be a good idea in this case? Would it not be the smartest to let Starkiller become a Sith Lord and after that let him kill his friends?
He was powerful but not that powerful.
Fool got obliterated and the emporer was untouched. Evidence he's not OP. He can be cannon again.
Just change this. have him be a inquisitor but vaders personal favourite, still his secret aprentice. then change the meeting of shak ti to ahsoka (but no death) to show him the truth about their shared master and how he will betray him. Then force unleashed story carrys on the same leading to starkillers death and the birth of the alliance.
Galen is now Ezra and Rahm Kota is Kanan, deal with it
@@TheTwistedTreant526 somone has a attitude 😆 calm down
No he’s still op. He still ragdolled Vader and sidious. He had the chance to kill both of them and likely would’ve had the original trilogy not already established that Vader and sidious survive til episode 6
@@Albino_Basilisk vader ragdolled him too, palpatine was untouched in their clash. that argument dosent really work.
Starkiller is powerful but not as strong as everyone makes him out to be.
@@Djayscratcher98 Starkiller não matou o Palpatine porque o Kota leu o roteiro da trilogia dos eps 4 a 6,e impediu Starkiller de passar o vapo no Palpatine.
Como sera galek vs su clon starkiller? Quien ganaría
Darth vader goofy ass just standing there 😂😂😂😂😂
He already got whooped by starkiller it's all he could do just stand there otherwise he would've not survived
I wounder if him striking him down in hate and anger wouldve allowed Palpatine to take control of his body. Thats 3 times he failed lol
Can’t believe starkiller almost sidious and Vader two of the most powerful Sith Lord in the top ten list all in one day. Shows how powerful he was
In the game's canon, he was op. But, the novelisation version of TFU definitely scales him better, as it doesn't need to be as fun as the game, which was designed to be a power trip.
Palpatine just pretended to be weak. He was far more powerful.
I think he’s OP
Do you think Rey is OP?
Bashing Galen for supposedly being OP while supporting Ray is why I can't stand the Disney supporters. They are Grade A hypocrites.
7:31 7:44
0:34 0:35 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Is that Galen from Ahsoka?
damn that starkiller does he know how expensive storm trooper and guard armor is and don't get me started about lord vader and the dark troopers!
Tell that to the covenant
6:23 why doesn't Rahm kill him instead then
Starkiller deserves to be canon.
Is this the same emperor who got dumped in a hole?
Force Unleashed with no DLC is whats cannon.
The Jedi Temple dlc is canon.
