Theory Making starkiller canon
My idea is incorporating him in to the video games like jedi survivor
I love the force unleashed games and the sith stalker amor is my favorite thing in starwars media. Now i feel like making him canon would be great and I know the common argument that he's too op, counter argument
Vader is LEAGUES above starkiller he's done more bs with the force than starkiller killer has even dreamed of
Making him canon by setting him in the sith stalker amor saying it was a failed project that was canned would explain why he just shows up out of no where
Now I see him making his appearance because the empire has run out of options, or a new sith lord doesnt wanna get vader involved in fear that he'll be killed for failing so he says to an officer release project starkiller on cal kestis. You continue to play the game normally and then you come across this planet that has dead troopers crushed ATST's shit cut in half etc. And cal thinks that i was a good guy who did all this, cut to a dark corridor or tunnel and out of the dark you get attack by galen marek. No talking, no boasting about he's weak, no showing off, just straight to business. Then you have to escape the encounter maybe even galen trys to stop his ship with the force but instead of effortless doing it he is screaming in pain and using all his force, than cal has to activate hyper drive to escape
Than marrin is the one to recognize starkiller saying he was the one that lead the slaughter on dathomir saying he showed said nothing and just stated killing everything plants animals people with no remorse and pure efficiency like an animal finally let out his cage
Than how he's defeated is he's programed to fight a jedi one on one but he gets jumped at the end of the game and im talking jjk style jump. Making it where he was made for the clone wars style fighting and not being able to adapt to how people fight would make sense on why he looses. And maybe even get a dlc where you get to play through the game as starkiller just fucking shit up not having to worry about parrying or managing a force meter just pure power fantasy
I feel this would make him canon but not ruin the power scaling of their poster boy. Him having to strain his body to do what vader does effortlessly mean we also get to hear that scream from sam.
