The Weapon Who Chose His Own End

Galen Marek was born on Kashyyyk to two Jedi Knights — a lineage he would never be allowed to know. When the Empire came and Darth Vader killed his father, the orphaned child was taken rather than left behind. Raised in secret, stripped of his history, and given only a codename, he became something the galaxy had no name for: a weapon that could wield the Force at Vader's direction, hidden from the Emperor himself.

Completing those missions brought him no closer to what he'd been promised. Betrayed once when the Emperor appeared and Vader turned on him, he still chose loyalty — and built a rebellion at his master's direction, persuading senators to stand against Sidious. Vader's answer was to have them arrested and leave Starkiller for dead. Every step had been engineered. He had never been an apprentice. He had always been a tool.

What he left behind proved harder to extinguish than any blade. Marek survived long enough to infiltrate the Death Star, free the senators, and die holding back the darkness so they could escape. His sacrifice gave the Rebel Alliance its founding moment — and his family's crest its symbol. The seven designs in this catalogue trace that arc across Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II.

He reclaimed his name at the end — Galen Marek, son of Jedi, martyr of a Rebellion he helped build.
