## Notable attacks/techniques

* **Force Barrier:** Both an offensive and defensive Force power that creates a barrier or wall of Force energy around the intended target, be it self, friend, or foe. Depending on the strength of the individual, the barrier could only withstand a few attacks before collapsing.
* **Force Lightning:** An offensive Force technique, Force lightning uses Force energy to produce electricity with one or two hands that stream outwards from the fingertips, its speed is usually great enough to catch an opponent off-guard even when prepared, and can be used either in bursts, or simply torrent out in an a gush of agony on its victim. His greatest display of this power came from his Clone who was capable of super charging the Fusion Accelerator Cannon enough to destroy an Imperial Star Destroyer.
* **Force Stealth:** A power that was used by highly skilled Force-sensitives to mask their Force alignment (Light or Dark), their ability to use the Force, or even their entire presence from other Force-sensitives.
* **Telekinesis:** Galen Marek can use this through the Force to put his mind literally over matter, capable of blasting opponents, shielding himself or disarming people, its limits are only those of the creativity that Force User has. He most famously used this power to alter the trajectory of a falling Imperial Star Destroyer.
* **Telepathy:** Can easily manipulate others mentally with the Force to trick, deceive, maim or even kill outright. Can also use this power externally or internally when it comes to illusion creation, manifestation and manipulation.
* **Tutaminis:** Through the Force, Galen Marek can draw potentially harmful energy into his body and diffuse it or channel it away completely. His skill with this power was great enough to contain several seconds worth of a non-serious Darth Sidious' Force Lightning.

## Notes

* Galen Marek and his clone's respect threads.
* Lord Starkiller is non-canonical to the Legends timeline and is a result of a "What if?" scenario in which Galen Marek fell to the Dark side and accepted the offer of Darth Sidious to replace Darth Vader as his new apprentice. Thus, it is labeled under "Infinities," a type of story is non-canon even in Legends.
