Generic thread. More interested in the poll than comments though.

It's fact that Starkiller gained Marek's combat abilities, and would've only improved over the course of the second game.

UCanShootMyNova
Galen easily outstrips his counterpart in their respective showings and given there is no quote that specifies Starkiller is equally powerful to his template and their relative performances against Vader I'm inclined to believe Galen takes it without too much trouble.

SunRazer
Without much trouble? lol wut?

Also, how does Galen easily outstrip the frigate feat by virtue of his own showings?

Deronn_solo
Starkiller, obviously.

MythLord
Starkiller is meant to be Galen, just ahead by a notable margin.

S_W_LeGenD
I believe that Galen Marek was stronger

NewGuy01
Same shit, different game.

His ability to challenge Sidious and beat Vader decisively.

The clone inherited Galen's potential as well. Given their respective showings it's highly doubtful he ever achieved the same or a greater amount then his template.

Zenwolf
Eh according to the Distant Thunder cutscenes, it's noted that the Clone is far more powerful.

What are you referring to?

That.

UCanShootMyNova
According to Witwer Vader was gaming Starkiller around this whole time. Given there's no evidence for Starkiller being Galen's equal much less superior I can only imagine this was yet another example of Vader attempting to manipulate him.

Zenwolf
Well that video was more about the Dark Apprentice than Starkiller. But I mean...just pointing it out.

Lmao.

Galen Marek's clones possess their genetic host's fighting skills, including incredible abilities with the Force.

Galen Marek's cloneS

You seriously trying to claim that all those clones Starkiller defeated were equals of Galen? :P

Also the quote itself says nothing about his clones possessing his power. Only his fighting skills and their own incredibly abilities in the Force.

This is supported in the text where it states that the clones Starkiller fought specialized in different areas.

cs_zoltan
Your denial is adorable.

UCanShootMyNova
Your willful ignorance of the text is not.

Why would you bring up a scene in regards to the Dark Apprentice when we're discussing how Starkiller and Galen compare?

Trocity
Starkiller.

Because the Dark Apprentice is pretty much Starkiller, the only difference is that the former got rid of all his emotional attachments. So their power shouldn't be all that different. Thus > Galen.

As we know Vader has often handed out misleading statements or outright lies to Galen and his various clones. Confirmation of their ability is required. Also who's to say that the DA having gotten rid of attachment and devoted himself fully to Vader's teachings wouldn't be more powerful then a counterpart plagued by memories of the past.

I was thinking that, but then Vader showed Galen's body, so I wasn't thinking that the DA would be > To Killer, only to > Original and = to Killer.

But then I could also get behind the former.

UCanShootMyNova
I can respect your position though.

DarthAnt66
Damn, this poll is brutal.

cs_zoltan
The 2 votes for Galen are probably Syn and his old account.

UCanShootMyNova
What's brutal is the way Zoltan embarrassed himself on the last page.

DarthAnt66
mmm Not seeing the embarrassment.

He never handed out false praise though.

The fact that he outright ignored the text substantiating it for his own opinion?

Not to Galen but he certainly did with Starkiller as he notes in their fight at the end of the novel ( TFU II ) and he would not hesitate to do so if he thought it would solidify the loyalty of the DA.

UCanShootMyNova
So do you want me to start quoting statements you've made that you no longer back? smile

I talked to Emperor and he pointed out something I hadn't noticed before thus changing my stance. It happens all the time.

DarthAnt66
Sure, we can all have a laugh. thumb up

It's funny because the blog was written a month ago, but now you're being hostile to anyone who still has that stance.

I don't recall that source ever existing. mmm

At least not with Legends characters involved.

Post a pic of the page. smile

DarthAnt66
mmm

Well I checked Vader and Palpatine's entries and found nothing.

UCanShootMyNova
I emailed the author Ant. smile They confirmed it.

DarthAnt66
Nice. Quote?

UCanShootMyNova
Dude. You don't take my word that the author TOLD me after I contacted them?

I'm always willing to provide scans for my conversations.

Show what you got. Or if you're lying, then explain to me why anyone should take you seriously anymore after blatantly attempting to share false information.

Well, of course you're lying, but this is fun.

UCanShootMyNova
Damn Ant.
