Star Wars fans lose it over Starkiller live-action tease

Star Wars fans lose it over Starkiller live-action tease

The Force Unleashed is such a gem

I can’t believe I didn’t notice this.

Fair to say, many of us are eager to see a live-action iteration of Starkiller, also known as Galen Marek.

If you’ve not played Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, allow me to fill you in.

Marek, a force sensitive youngling, was taken in by Darth Vader following the murder of his parents during the reign of the Galactic Empire.

Raised as Vader’s apprentice turned personal assassin, Marek took on the moniker of Starkiller.

Eventually, Marek was betrayed by Vader and left for dead.

The problem has always been that Marek only exists in the Legends universe which isn’t strictly canon.

That being said, several Legends characters have been drafted into the canon universe in recent years, and now evidence exists to suggest that Starkiller could be next in line.

ICYMI: We recently sat down with the cast and creatives of the brilliant Skeleton Crew.

That evidence exists in Andor, which is why I’m surprised I missed it as the series has been around for some time.

In Luthen Rael’s gallery, you can spot Starkiller’s armour, as pointed out by Reddit user Naive_One_7459.

I’ll get the technicality out of the way. Starkiller wasn’t the only individual to wear Sith Stalker Armour.

Still, it’s the closest acknowledgement we’ve got to Starkiller and I hardly doubt that creatives placed the armour there thinking we wouldn’t make this assumption.

“So cool to see some love for TFU, even if it's not canon anymore. Even cooler to see the people behind Andor are fans,” wrote user JustSomeDude477.

The consensus does appear to be, however, that this armour is just an Easter egg given that Luthen’s gallery is packed with similar nods to Star Wars’ lore.

I wouldn’t rule out a Starkiller appearance one day, but I’m in agreement that this nod probably isn’t hinting towards that.
