Starkiller, born Galen Marek and also known as The Apprentice, is the Dark Jedi anti-hero protagonist of the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed project, which in 2014 Lucasfilm rebranded as part of Star Wars Legends non-canonical story-line, the character has not been re-introduced yet, into the Star Wars canon. He is raised by Darth Vader, he is made the secret apprentice under the name "Starkiller" due to being potent with using the Force for destructive purposes and described as less of an assassin and more of a "Force wrecking ball". The character's name is taken from Luke Skywalker's original name "Annikin Starkiller". The character's likeness and voice are provided by Samuel Witwer, despite The Force Unleashed non-canonical Legends status, Witwer still remains part of the Star Wars canon by voicing Darth Maul in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels.

IGN called Starkiller's story "nice and complete".Game Informer, UGO Networks and GameDaily also gave good reviews. However, GamesRadar has criticized Starkiller's design. In GameSpot's vote for the greatest video game character of all time, Starkiller (as "The Apprentice") was eliminated in round 1 against Niko Bellic.
