“Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2” concludes on something of a cliffhanger. The Starkiller clone defeats Darth Vader in a showdown on Kamino, and the Sith Lord is taken into Rebel custody. He’s placed aboard the Rogue Shadow, where Starkiller, Juno Eclipse (Nathalie Cox), and Proxy (David W. Collins) transport him across the stars — with the bounty hunter Boba Fett (Dee Bradley Baker) in tow. This is where the story of Starkiller concludes, seeing as the “Force Unleashed” games have been removed from the official “Star Wars” canon, and a third game never came to fruition. However, Sam Witwer has discussed where Starkiller’s story could’ve gone had the game series continued.
In May 2020, during an appearance on IGN’s Work from Home Theater, Witwer outlined a notable story point in Starkiller’s future beyond “The Force Unleashed 2.” The actor claimed to have discussed another battle between Starkiller and Vader with the minds behind the “Force Unleashed” saga. “At some point, there would be a confrontation where Starkiller’s fighting Vader and everything that worked before is not working now,” he said, revealing that at long last, Vader would’ve gotten the upper hand against his former apprentice, reminding him why he’s the Dark Lord of the Sith and revealing that he was merely toying with him during their previous duels.
Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that we’ll ever get to see this Vader-Starkiller battle or any further developments to the original “Force Unleashed” continuity or the story of the clone of Galen Marek. Thus, fans of the character can only hope that Starkiller returns to the “Star Wars” canon in one way or another in the coming years.
