Is The Infamous Starkiller A Jedi Or Sith?

A dark father without his children and a Force-sensitive child without parents, Darth Vader and Starkiller are connected for obvious reasons. But as the ambitious Sith came into his own, he learned he could not trust Vader as a true father. Vader continually betrays Starkiller until he can’t bear it any longer. After Vader enlists his apprentice to join the rebel alliance as a double agent to feed him information, Starkiller learns this is only a plot to further strengthen the Empire. Once he rallies Mon Mothma and Bail Organa to his cause, Vader captures the senators and leaves his apprentice for dead. This act is the final straw, pushing the young Force-wielder toward the light side.

Galen Marek understands that Vader’s only intention is to side with the Emperor, and he decides he must face his master. He breaks into the Death Star, freeing the rebels, and makes one final stand against those who made him. No longer armed with a red lightsaber, but one in the fashion of the Jedi Order, Marek’s final act toward redemption is complete when he sacrifices himself so the senators can live. His actions are so significant that they use the sigil of the Marek family crest as a sign of the rebellion when it is in full swing. Ultimately, actions speak louder than words. Marek never became a full-fledged Sith, and his final moments cement him as a force for good that kickstarted a rebellion.
