What if, after he sacrificed himself, Starkiller didn’t die, but was rebuilt by Vader and the Emperor in Sith Stalker Armor?
Here’s my Story, which answers that question…

Starkiller awoke on an operating table. He could see little because of the helmet he was wearing. It’s visor was far too small. From what he could make out, the room was dark, with no hint of light.

“You had such promise”

Starkiller recognized the voice instantly. It was the Emperor.

“You could have been my successor, my equal. But now…perhaps I still have some small use for you. I still have enemies, you will hunt them, you will do my bidding.”

Starkiller attempted to struggle but it was no use, he was still too weak. It was a miracle he wasn’t dead.

The Emperor chuckled.

“Finish Him”

Starkiller screamed in agony as his suit was completed. The next day, he was brought before the Emperor.

“I have a task for you”

Starkiller bowed before him

“What is your bidding, my master?”

“There is a surviving Jedi on Nar Shadda. Jedi Master Quinlan Vos. He has evaded the Purge for too long. You will hunt him down, you will destroy him.”

Starkiller hesitated. He had resisted the Dark Side and he had still wound up right back where he started all the same. A slave to the Sith.

“Yes…my master”

Sidious handed him a Lightsaber covered in rags and spikes

“Your new Weapon”

It would have been so easy, thought Starkiller. All he had to do was take the ligthsaber, put it through Sidious, and end his oppressive rule. But one look in Palpatine’s eyes and Starkiller knew this was exactly what he was expecting. His other hand was already reaching for his own Lightsaber.

Starkiller grabbed the new Lightsaber. It was cool to the touch, and practically dripped with the Dark Side of the Force.

“Thank you…my master”

The Executor made the jump to lightspeed and soon arrived at Nar Shadda. Seeing the Smuggler’s Moon reminded Starkiller of his very first mission, which in turn reminded him of how he was right back where he started. It didn’t matter now. Only Juno and the others could stop the Emperor now. Starkiller took his TIE Advanced fighter down to Nar Shadda. The Jedi had certainly picked a good hiding place. From what he had been told, the Jedi Master he was looking for was a Kiffar, fairly old, and used a Green Lightsaber. He also distrusted Clone Troopers, which likely contributed to his survival. Needless to say, he reminded Starkiller of old Kota.

Little did Starkiller realize, he was being watched by the reclusive Jedi. Quinlan sensed a lot of strife and confusion in the assassin. Something that reminded him of his own troubled history. Starkiller left the landing pad and Vos disappeared into the shadows. After a bit of “persuading” Starkiller learned of an old Ithorian operating a safe-house. Starkiller and his Stormtroopers followed the tip right to the Ithorian’s door-step.

Using the force, Starkiller blasted the door down. No one screamed. They were far too terrified. The Empire had found them. Through the corner of his now much larger visor, he could spot an old Kiffar and realized he sensed the force in him

“Gotcha”

Starkiller sprinted toward Vos with the aid of the force while Vos sped out of the safe-house, blazing past the stormtroopers. Starkiller pursued. He would not let that Jedi get away. The 2 rushed into an abandoned part of town. Vos attempted to blast his pursuer with Force Push. Starkiller leaped over it, activating his new lightsaber.

Starkiller came down over Vos’s head. There was a brilliant flash as their Lightsabers met. Starkiller leaped over Vos’s head and swung around, his Lightsaber meeting Vos’s again. So began a furious exchange of blows between the two. The duel continued further into the abandoned alleys. Soon, it was so dark that the only light source was the red and green of their lightsabers. Starkiller found how even with Lightning infused saber strikes, Vos was blocking every blow. This Jedi had far more skill and experience then Kota or Paratus and he would not make mistakes.

Then Starkiller saw his opening. He kicked Vos square in the face, knocking him back. Starkiller grabbed Vos’s lightsaber and was suddenly coming at the old Jedi like a frenzied Nexu. Vos leaped over Starkiller and used the Force to bring an adjacent building down on him. Starkiller blasted away with a force push and sprinted toward Vos. Vos hurled some broken droid parts in his way. As Starkiller slashed them to pieces, Vos leaped onto a nearby Speeder.

“E Chuta!”

Vos ignored the rude remark and kept his eyes fixed on Starkiller, who was leaping on and off the speeders towards him like a frog leaped on lily-pads. Starkiller used the force to grab and hurl a nearby speeder at the one Vos was on. The 2 speeders crashed into each-other, causing the pilots, and Vos, to plummet into the abyss. Starkiller leaped down after them. The 4 landed in a junk pile. The 2 speeder pilots bolted for the doors while Starkiller charged toward Vos.

Vos telekinetically hurled one of the wrecked speeders at Starkiller who sliced it in two with his lightsabers. Things were not looking good for Vos. He was tired, he was cornered, and his lightsaber was still in his enemy’s hands. Using the force to form a stairway of junk, Vos leaped out of the garbage area and Starkiller followed. The 2 were now on an area overlooking the Junk pile. It was some sort of open Swoop garage.

Vos hurled various bins at Starkiller who simply tossed them aside with the force. But while he did so, Vos blasted him backwards with the force, finally reclaiming his lightsaber.

“It’s over assassin. You have lost”

“No…not yet.”

Starkiller and Vos clashed lightsabers. They were both exhausted. This was going to end. The 2 exchanged blows furiously, arcs of red and green swinging about. Vos made an overhead swing. Starkiller dodged it, kicked Vos in the stomach and spun around, ready to deal a killing thrust. Vos blocked the blow and came back at Starkiller who countered and cut Vos’s hand off. Vos screamed in agony and Starkiller took his chance. He blasted the Jedi master with force lightning, using everything he had. The blast sent Vos hurling right into a nearby speeder. The impact knocked the pilot out and sent him and Vos plummeting to their deaths. Starkiller sensed Vos pass into the force. His mission was done. Starkiller picked up Vos’s lightsaber, and returned to his ship.

Back on Coruscant, Starkiller reported to his master

“Good….good…. You may prove to be a valuable servant yet, Galen Marek”

Starkiller had never been called by his real name before. It felt…odd.

Palpatine spoke again

“I have a new mission for you.”

“What is it, my master?”

“Travel to Haruun Kal. I sense that Master Windu may have survived his defeat. I want you to eliminate him”

“Yes my master”

But the Emperor wasn’t done

“However. Someone else will assist you. Is master Windu is indeed alive, I want to make sure he will perish. To this end, I have hired a bounty hunter to aid you. Someone who desperately wants to destroy master Windu.”

The doors opened. A man in armor walked in.

“His name…is Boba Fett.

I will make at least 3 more parts.

Interesting, just make sure your final part has starkiller killing sidious.

Thank you. But erm...this is supposed to be canon with the movies. So anyone who's deaths are confirmed in the films don't die in my stories. But I think I may have my final part have him fight Sidious.

This part is very good.

I liked this one far more than your previous attempts, tbh. My only problem is that the Force is rampantly overpowered here; would Vos be able to bring down a building so casually? Also: more in the description of the fight (although this was much improved) can only help.

Nice job.

Thank You. And about what Vos did, well, it was an old abandoned building, only about 2 stories tall. Still, you may have a point. I'll try for the next one.

You didn't tell us that it was old, abandoned or only two stories tall. All of those would have been interesting details. The hardest thing (for me) is to remember that whoever reads what I write has only what I write for guidance; they can only know what I tell them. Even if you know it was unstable, that isn't enough.

Elaborate moar. (I like how I give advice on creative writing when I'm terrible at it. Daniel, take everything I say with a grain of salt.)

Uh...OK I'll try. And sorry about the building thing.

By the way, here's a preview on future parts:
Part 2: Starkiller and Boba Fett work together to kill Mace Windu
Part 3: Starkiller fights Ben Kenboi in the Dune Sea
Part 4: Starkiller chases Luke through Echo Base and fights him
Part 5: Yoda helps Starkiller redeem himself. Starkiller proceeds to reject the Empire and battle a mystery character of my own
Part 6: Starkiller resurfaces after ROTJ and tracks down the last of palpatine's clones

no red, what you say is true. Just think of it that way. Don't be scared to stop in the middle of a fight and give details. If you have a picture in your head of something (which i usually do when i'm writing about it) stop and describe it. how high did he leap over starkiller? was it a flip, or just straight up, straight down? Did he pull the building down in mid-leap? did he land on the other side first? What part of the building did he pull on? yes,what kind of building was it? How did it give way? All at once?

The more questions you answer, and we don't have to worry about, the better. Keep working at it, it just takes practice. The most important thing you can do is re-read your own work though. make sure it is something that YOU think would be interesting to read.

Thank You, I'll do that

Your doing good honestly but just take those guys advice and be a little more descriptive about the enviroment and the fights/situation.

My only question is can starkiller actually speak at all? All i heard were grunts and strange noises from starkiller and i assume its due to the helmet(it bears a striking resemblence to the helmet leia wore in ROTJ and that distorted her voice too).

Oh and if possible, give starkiller a meaningful and cool "Darth" title.

Well, he isn't a Sith. Vader is still alive and there's the rule of two. And Starkiller can talk, I'll show that in the next one

Cool

“Boba Fett”

Starkiller had heard little of the famed bounty hunter. He was supposedly the best there was and he certainly looked like it. But right now he had other concerns.

“We shall leave at once for Haruun Kal, master”

“Good…good. Now go”

Starkiller followed Boba Fett to his ship the Slave 1. Fett didn’t say a word. He was far too busy thinking about his father and the Jedi that had killed him.

“Soon father. He thought to himself. Soon.”

The Slave 1 headed to Haruun Kal. Starkiller strapped on the lightsabers of those he had killed while Fett put on his father’s armor. It was silver and blue, as opposed to Fett’s Green and gray. It offered better protection and from what Starkiller could tell, had wrist-mounted blades.

“Let’s go”

Mace Windu was meditating in his parent’s old hut. He had no prosthetic hand to replace the one he had lost. Only a metal cap. His lightsaber had become beaten up and dirty after it’s fall, and Mace hadn’t used it in years. Then he opened his eyes. A dark presence was coming his way fast.

Mace grabbed his lightaber and readied himself. Suddenly, he leaped out of the hut, and just in time too, as it was blown up by a rocket. Mace landed on the ground, turned around, and activated his purple lightsaber. Through the smoke, Starkiller appeared. Mace recognized the lightsabers on his belt. They belonged to Shaak Ti and Quinlan Vos. Mace had already sensed the 2 Jedi’s passing into the force. Now he was face-to-face with their killer.

Then an armored figure flew in. Mace recognized the armor instantly. It was the armor worn by the bounty hunter he had killed on Geonosis years ago. Starkiller, seeing that Mace was distracted, drew his old lightsaber and his new one and sprinted toward Mace. Mace saw him coming and pushed him backwards. Fett opened fire and Mace leapt to one side. The open plain was an ideal place for a fight.

Mace allowed vaapad to flow through him and assumed a fighting stance. Starkiller charged toward him spinning both of his lightsabers around and around. Starkiller met Mace’s lightsaber with a blinding flash. Fett held back. He was going to let Starkiller distract Mace sufficiently so he could shoot the old man in the back and save himself a lot of trouble.

Starkiller made a thrust at Mace’s head and Mace swatted Starkiller’s red lightsaber aside with his purple one. Starkiller made an upward thrust with his blue lightsaber which was swatted aside as well. Mace then blasted Starkiller back with a force push, the push knocked the lightsabers out of Starkiller’s hands. Starkiller took out Shaak Ti’s and sprinted back towards Mace.

“Fett! A little help please!?”

Fett smirked underneath his helmet and fired a ripcord at Mace Windu’s legs, tripping him up. Starkiller took his chance. He leaped over Mace Windu, spun around and swung at his head. Mace threw up his handless arm in a desperate attempt at defense. Starkiller wound up cutting Mace’s hand cap off.

Mace turned around to meet Starkiller. The 2 clashed lightsabers. After 2 seconds, the lock was broken and Mace performed a backward roll, kicking Boba just as he was about to shoot him. Mace cut the cord binding his legs and stood back up.

Starkiller called back his fallen lightsabers and charged toward Mace but was suddenly knocked to one side by a strong gust of wind. Mace had blasted him away again. Starkiller was beginning to lose his temper. He activated his red lightsaber and sped toward Mace.

Meanwhile, Fett saw his opening and shot at Windu’s shoulder. Windu deflected the attack and Fett flew backwards on his Jetpack to cover some distance but Mace gripped him with the force and hurled him at Starkiller. Starkiller leaped over the bounty hunter and sped toward Windu. This time, he had a surprise. He took out a Lightsaber-tonfa, the one that had originally belonged to Maris Brood, spun around, and met Mace’s ligthsaber head-on. But then, he spun around again, slashing at Mace’s stomach with the lightsaber-tonfa. As Mace collapsed, Starkiller raised his lightsaber above his head, prepared to finish the Jedi.

“NO!!” shouted Fett

“He’s mine to kill, not yours!”

Starkiller ignored him.

Mace looked up. Starkiller was hesitating. Not something servants of the dark side did. Mace sensed much conflict in him. He hadn’t chosen this life.

“Don’t do it kid.”

Starkiller hesitated

“It’s too late for me”

But before he come around to finishing him, Fett stabbed him in the back, literally. Shoving Starkiller aside, Fett shot right Mace right between the eyes without a moment’s hesitation. Starkiller responded by blasting Fett with force lightning. Using everything he had, Starkiller sent Fett flying backwards. The 2 then stumbled to their feet.

“Some day Fett” said Starkiller “But not today”

Fett nodded. He got up, and as a final insult to the fallen Jedi master, cremated him with his flamethrower. Fett then walked away without a word. Back on Coruscant, Starkiller handed Palpatine Mace Windu’s lightsaber.

“Excellent. You have done well, my assassin”

“Thank you…my master”

The confrontation with Windu was well written; I went ahead and merged the threads together as continuous 'Starkiller Lives' storyline rather than the parts.

Thanks
