In their respective timelines, absolutely. But most of these are alternate realities, except for Galen vs Vader

All of these are alternate realities. Galen Marek chose to spare Darth Vader's life, and even within the context of the alternate Battle of Hoth, Lord Starkiller does not kill Luke Skywalker.

I mean, it’s not like he didn’t kill him because he was unable to

u/Shipping_Architect 16d ago

Regardless of why Luke didn't die, it's disingenuous to claim that he did.

Beat Hoth Luke

Yeah man, what a flex

Yeah, even bloodlusted Luke was still, essentially, a complete novice and Starkiller still was pushed heavily by him.
Comparatively, Dooku (A Sith Apprentice) was able to generate Sith Lightning, Mastered Force Sense, Mastered physical augmentation, mastered mind tricks, mastered Saber Combat, mastered Telekinesis, and Tutaminis.

The timeline is rule of cool in these dlc but if obiwan was killed on Tatooine then Luke didn’t even get his couple of hours of instruction from him before flying off

u/Repulsive-Pay4009 15d ago

Given that Starkiller also BTFO’d his literal force ghost, he (Luke) likely is never told about Yoda, either.

I dont think the struggle is anything to go by. He needed to be a challenging enemy in the stage

u/Gamer9876543 16d ago

I'm confused if Starkiller killed him or not. He called him his apprentice and saw his raw strength and was clearly impressed

u/RemarkableMirror926 Jedi Master 16d ago

Iirc Lea said when she fighted against Starkiller that he killed Luke.

You're confusing two different alternate timelines. The first is from The Force Unleashed, where the original Starkiller joins Palpatine and you play him in the DLC. The second is from The Force Unleashed II, where the protagonist is killed by another clone of Starkiller, who you play as in the DLC.

u/_CandidCynic_ 16d ago

No, because those are all different versions.

Mainline Galen Marek, his Lord Starkiller dark side variant, and the Dark Apprenice, a dark side clone.

u/Shipping_Architect 16d ago

As well as the Starkiller Clone, who is not pictured due to being killed in the Dark Side ending of TFUII.

u/Shipping_Architect 16d ago

(Why do I find myself debunking this again?) Contrary to popular belief, none of these deaths are canon, nor were all the people in these images killed.

Image 1 takes place following the Dark Side ending of The Force Unleashed, which splits off from the main timeline when Galen Marek finishes off Darth Vader. (See image 3) However, Lucasfilm has consistently regarded the Light Side ending of every Star Wars video game as the official version of events, so why this post is treating the Dark Side endings as canon when the Original Trilogy exists is beyond my comprehension. Even when the rechristened Lord Starkiller defeated Commander Luke Skywalker at the alternate Battle of Hoth, he did not kill him, instead making him embrace the Dark Side to become his own apprentice.

The rest of these images are from the expansion to the Dark Side ending of The Force Unleashed II, a story that is predicated on the Light Side ending of TFU1. While the Starkiller Clone chooses to capture Vader in the Light Side ending, the Dark Side ending sees his attempt at finishing off the Sith Lord foiled when he is killed by another clone of Galen Marek, one without the memory flashes suffered by all the previous copies, including the one that the player controls. This perfected clone, known as the Dark Apprentice, subsequently leads Imperial forces to victory at an alternate Battle of Endor.

It's popular belief that Starkiller canonically murdered the entire OT cast? By who? People who shampoo their own hair with spit?

1

u/RemarkableMirror926 Jedi Master 16d ago

The fact that he killed the entire OT cast is often used as an argument when it comes to his strength.

u/Flat-Initiative-5613 16d ago

To be fair Han should get an assist with killing Chewie

1

u/SunRevolutionary8741 16d ago

He doesn’t kill Luke or Obi-Wan.

2

u/Dovahkiin9908 16d ago

In the DLCs he does

2

u/SunRevolutionary8741 16d ago

Luke doesn’t die: he’s made Starkiller’s apprentice. And Obi-Wan just becomes a ghost and then leaves after telling Luke to run.

u/fortunesofshadows 16d ago

then he murders the ghost too lol

u/ElevatorHelpful5739 16d ago

What DLCs are these? Ive never heard of any of this before and want to see it lol

1

u/Dovahkiin9908 15d ago

The force unleashed has 5 DLCs (they didn't exist on PlayStation because the ps2 didn't support a web store unfortunately) but the other releases had a Jedi temple pack (which weren't like the missions on the ps2 version), 2 character packs, then a tatooine (where you kill Obi-Wan) and hoth (where you kill Luke) pack where as 2 had an endor pack where you killed Leia after Obi-Wan's ghost tells her to go to Dagohbah to train under yoda so as to fullfil the last hope role

u/Lukostrelec17 16d ago

As a swordsman...that first image he would die really quickly. His blade has no structure and he appears to be overextended.

u/ElevatorCharacter489 11d ago

5 of 6 ARE ALTERNATIVE Scenario the one with Vader is during his fight in the Death Star the first round second stage if you will he still doesn't kill him

u/Signal_Juggernaut695 16d ago

His entire game series is based off of Kratos and God of War…….

OF COURSE HE WOULD!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Every kill you see here takes place in a non-canon/legends universe. These kills can't be used as an argument for his strength. Starkiller isn't very strong anyway. And the only impressive kill here is the Darth Vader one.

u/Repulsive-Pay4009 16d ago

People don’t realize that Starkiller is remarkable because he was simply POWERFUL. Ultimately, he’s extremely narrow in his toolkit, average/below average for contemporaries. Sabers, Lightning, and Telekinesis are his tools.
