    I can see both Vader and Malgus being similar yet opposite of one another. One had his face covered, the other didn’t. Both needed cybernetics for survival yet one was disgusted by it. One lost everything and became imprisoned in the Dark, the other was raised in the Dark and flourished in it. Both didn’t tolerate weakness or failure yet one rewarded those loyal and useful. One ruled an empire, the other was a servant of another. One died in the Dark while the other was redeemed.

    This is extremely powerful. Very touching moment. Anakin's eyes were blue because he felt no anger,hatred,pain anymore. He was defeated. Dark side didn't control him. It took him time to re-coperate. Because he had nothing except Sidious and Empire. Luke was just appearirng,training. Redemption was near. And Anakin's meeting with Yoda and Obi-Wan again. Very powerful moments. May the Force be with you too. Have a great day too

      Vader should have told Starkiller then, in the snow planet, that the time had come and to pretend to fight in the Death Star and then team up on Sidious.
      Galen would have gone with it and Sidious would, for once, actually be taken off guard.

    Imagine if Vader in plot twist decided to transfer his conciousness into Starkiller.

Sidious would never see Vader coming with this new ambush.

      You might wanna your ears out because George has never said any such thing at least not on record anyway. The reason Star-Killer overpowered Vader is because that's exactly what Vader wanted him to do, embrace all of his rage so he could overpower him and "potentially" take-down the emperor. The reason he lost the second time is because is because Vader underestimated him which if you'll notice is something Anakin does a lot hence why he got his ass kicked twice by Kenobi though TBF he did fight SK during a storm which made his force lightning much more potent.

      His power really isn't as lore breaking as you think he just uses it in unorthadox ways that catch these guys off guard. It's kind of like Spider-Man in a way who's iconic not because he's powerful but because he's fast on his feet and fairly good on the spot. In a pitched battle I don't think anyone would think Starkiller could beat Vader or Sidious but in these fights those 2 idiots underestimated his resolve and his stamina because they saw him as nothing more than a puppet.
      It's not the only time Vader has done this as he got owned by Kenobi twice because he utterly underestimated him and Palptatine of course only uses his powers when he gets something out of it and he still outclassed Galen by a wide margin.

    Well, Galen Marek was designed as a character for distraction, game that was not supposed to change anything in already established Lucas lore. Thus of course, he could not kill Vader in canonical ending (although there was such an option in playthrough). But it must be said that whole story of first Starkiller game (including start of the Rebellion), made much more sense that latter Disney crap 😁 (Rebels and Kenobi). After the success of first Starkiller game, greed followed, so there were additional episodes and official sequel (Starkiller 2) with much weaker story. What could we say, except that greed and art do not go hand in hand.
