This statement is misleading. Starkiller was not, in the strict sense, an assassin. A killer? Yes. A thug? Yes. But the word assassin implies a certain level of stealth and skill; Starkiller possessed neither. His were the merits of raw, unadulterated power. Mara Jade, on the other hand, is an obscenely gifted assassin and saboteur. She was an Emperor's Hand, the greatest and most skilled assassins we have seen in the mythos, capable of remarkable battle cunning and combat training that gives her a considerable advantage.
Jacen Solo, a psuedo-Sith Lord whose powers were stated to be in excess of Darth Vader's as well as "second only" to LotF-era Luke Skywalker, as well as a supposed "genius," got his ass handed to him by his aunt Mara, despite the fact that her powers were stated to be vastly inferior to his due to manipulation of the environment as well as melee skills. Not to mention, she was roughly sixty years old at the time.
But the situation you provide is too vague. In a neutral environment, I'd imagine Starkiller would cream her.

Re: Re: Starkiller vs Mara Jade
I agree that Starkiller could cream Mara.
and I also think that ANYONE "has powers in excess of Darth Vader's"
cuz since he has no defense against lightning (but his suit protected him from lightning injuries), he suit would stop working and would die. Therefore people like Jaina or Bastila could take Vader out with force lightning for a prolonged exposure. unless Jaina's or Bastila's lightning was so uber that it rivaled Palpy's lightning which only lasted for like 3 sec. max.
ya the cover showed Mara with red hair in Sacrifice. lol no aging I suppose.. so she is immortal now? Mara wins for sure then.
Then you'd get the MORON stamp pretty quickly. George Lucas says Vader's powers are roughly 80% of Sidious's. Jaina and especially Bastila don't remotely come close.
