Stolen Pixels #217: The Empire Strikes First

[Mysnomer]

Starkillers name is actually given as Galen Malek...somewhere

His last name is actually Marek, you may be confused by the similar sounding Malak.

Only difference is, Return of the Jedi didn't suck.

There. I said it.

I haven't played TFU, but I'm sitting here, watching this "loving Vader" raise his apprentice like a son.... and then what? He finds out he has an actual, biological son and goes mental?

Vader loves fake son
Vader disfigures fake son
Vader sends fake son to Rebellion
Vader finds real son
Vader disfigures real son
Vader tries to KILL real son
Vader tries to get real son to JOIN THE EMPIRE

Dear Vader,
The paint inside the suit may be toxic. I suggest a new suit and therapy. Whether he's real or fake, disfigurement is not good for your sons.
Sincerely,
Reality
PS Ditch the old dude with the lightning bolts. He looks like an aging pervert, and when you were played by that Jumper guy, I had to hide children from the acts I feared might follow.

Is Starkiller Polish, or Czech? That name sounds far too Eastern-European for a galaxy far far away, if you ask me.

And yes, there are quite a lot of similarities.

It's his codename, not his real name. And it's just a reference to the original script of Star Wars where Luke was Deak Starkiller who I think then became Annakkin (it was spelled different to Anakin in some weird way) or Luke Starkiller (I forget which) before finally becoming the Skywalker we know today.

Star Wars nerd AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

No, i meant his (apparently) actual name (Garen Malek), not his codename.

 

[Bayushi_Kouya]

His name is

GALEN

MAREK

and it is mentioned in the game, though very briefly, and it is understandably easy to miss.

Only difference is, Return of the Jedi didn't suck.

There. I said it.

I WILL CUT YOU.

[Stilt-Man]

VERY nicely-done. I never thought of it that way!

 

[Evilsanta]

Never saw it that way fun comic and this made my day.

Doubtful, Galen Marek's no weirder than Ki-Adi-Mundi or Adi Gallia, though it may indeed have east european origins.
