Galen Marek , given the name Starkiller by his Master was a Dark Jedi who eventually turned to the Light Side and was intrumental in the formation of the Rebel Alliance . At a young age , Galen was taken by Darth Vader during the Galactic Empire ' s invasion of Kashyyyk and was secretly trained in the ways of the Force by Vader so that one day they could together overthrow the Emperor . At the end of his training , Vader sent Starkiller to eliminate Jedi who had survived Order 66 , including Rahm Kota , Kazdan Paratus and Shaak Ti . After this , Vader ordered Starkiller to meet him on his flagship so that they could face the Emperor . However , Vader told Starkiller that the Emperor ' s spies had followed him , and Vader stabbed Starkiller under Palpatine ' s orders , and used the Force to throw him through a window . Later , Starkiller ' s body was recovered and he was resuscitated by a medical droid . Starkiller was told by Vader that he needed Palpatine to think that he was dead , and gave Starkiller new instructions - to form an army that opposes the Emperor ' s rule . Starkiller eventually managed to assemble the army with the help of Juno Eclipse and Jedi General Rahm Kota , who managed to survive his duel with Starkiller , but was blinded . However , Vader once again betrayed Marek by finding him and taking all the Rebel leaders captive , leaving him for dead . Marek flew to the Death Star with the intent of rescuing the Rebels , making the choice to no longer follow Vader . After fighting his way through the Death Star , Marek successfully defeated first his old Master , and then Palpatine . However , after his defeat , Palpatine attacked with Force Lightning . Marek held Palpatine off , absorbing the lightning ' s energy while the Rebels could escape in the " Rogue Shadow " , but eventually died , causing an explosion that destroyed the entire throne room , though the two Sith Lords still managed to survive . Six months later , Vader went to Kamino and made a clone of Marek , who , unfortunately , remembers his love for Juno Eclipse and runs away to find her and prove to her that he is still alive .
