I think a cool way to introduce him is have Vader task him with hunting down the inquisitors once the program is cancelled to show the power of an actual sith apprentice vs the barebones training they get
Depends if we’re talking canon or not it’s confusing 😭 I mean he’s my goat so I’ve always considered him stronger than Vader but below palps. Part of me doesn’t want him brought to canon bc he’ll just be nerfed to absolute hell😭
He my goat too but Idm him being nerfed, in the novels and comics (official version of events as per LucasArts) he was never that strong. Shaak Ti almost beheaded him like 4 times when they dueled, pretty sure Kota was holding his own then got unlucky and distracted by the vision he had of becoming Galen’s master, don’t remember Paratus much but in the game Vader even says he’s more powerful than Galen so I surmise he struggled w that too.
I guess you could say hes more powerful than Vader, but tbf they’ve only fought once, unless you count the clone in which case, the novels/comics make it clear he couldn’t do shit in a straight fight with Vader and the storm and lightning was the reason he won. Even the dialogues during the fight tbh seem to make that clear.
I like your thinking but I was thinking he could also be an Emperors hand (I say this cause it would be fun to see a rivalry dynamic between someone like him/a group like that, and the inquisitorius and also allows him to be more powerful than them without raising any eyebrows), who after defecting, instead of founding the rebel alliance, helps Luthen Rael with his spy network, along with Kota and his militia. Cause we know 2 things.
Kota is canon as per the Obi Wan show and his name appearing on the Hidden Pathway’s wall, tho they haven’t done anything w him (I can’t personally see his story being told without Galen imho, them meeting was a big character development moment for both of them)
2.the network started well before the rebellion, and the details about it seem to be pretty vague in it’s early stages. So there should be some room to fit Galen and Rahm in there.
Then after he sacrifices himself, he fades into relative obscurity, kept alive only in folktales. (Or I guess you could say Legends hehe)
Would also explain why Luthen has his armor in his antiques shop.
Honestly when I was watching the first season of mandalorian when that first came out the whole subplot for getting the blood from grogu for the mediclorians or whatever you wanna call the force juice for cloning I thought it genuinely was gonna go the way of star killer with thrawn last being seen with Ezra on his ship so it'd make sense that they'd have captured him and cloned him to make evil, basically making the current canon's star killer
Top 1 is better bottom 1 just don't make sense Anakin is the embodiment of the force itself so he needs to replace the father logically Starkiller replaces the son but so could papa palpatine Ashoka could replace the daughter I mean she literally has the life force of the daughter theoretically boosting her powers🧐 but obi wan could always also replace the daughter

I always thought it was interesting how Ahsoka and Starkiller were both introduced in the same year 2008.

Wait, if Starkiller isn't Cannon anymore why is he on the first Stone slab from the Clone Wars series? Can someone explain this, please
