With Palpatine in the know about the supposedly secret apprentice, he demanded that Vader kill the young man. Starkiller returned victorious, but had been followed by the Emperor’s spies. That confrontation ended with more Jedi prophecies, but Shaak falling into a nearby Sarlaac pit. Of course, they had no idea that Ti had been training her own Padawan, Maris Brood. Before moving on to their ultimate target, Palpatine, Vader sent Starkiller to Felucia to kill Jedi Council Member Shaak Ti. Upon returning to the man once known as Anakin, Starkiller lied and said he’d succeeded in killing Kora. After Rahm relayed a vision that he would become the apprentice’s master in the future, Starkiller blinded him, stole his lightsaber and kicked him out into the void where he landed on a nearby cruiser. First he traveled to Nar Shaadda to kill Jedi Master Rahm Kota. To do that, Vader trained Starkiller and then sent him out on a ship called The Rogue Shadow piloted by Captain Juno Eclipse and a droid called Proxy who could look like just about anyone in the galaxy.ĭarth Vader sent Starkiller out to test himself against various surviving Jedi. The Sith Lord supposedly kept the apprentice’s existence a secret from Emperor Palpatine because he wanted to use the young man to actually kill Darth Sidious. Set between “Revenge of the Sith” and “A New Hope,” this book focuses on Starkiller, a Force-adept young man trained in secret by Darth Vader. Have you ever wondered how the various factions of the Rebel Alliance came together? Well, before “Rogue One” and “Star Wars Rebels” began to delve into that idea, the story was told in the Legacy continuity by Haden Blackman, Brian Ching and David Ross in a video game-inspired graphic novel called STAR WARS: THE FORCE UNLEASHED. Each week Star Wars Spotlight combs through the digital archives of Marvel Unlimited to showcase one classic story from that distant galaxy filled with Jedi, Sith, princesses, scoundrels and droids.
