TFU II Starkiller vs certain Sith Lords

Been reading a lot of the Starkiller posts on here so I think it should be more clear and precise. It is a given that Starkiller is absurdly powerful and has become even stronger in TFU II. IMO the authors and game designers deliberately left room for him to grow stronger and more powerful. His opponents according to strength are:

Malak
Revan
Bane
Palpatine
Caedus

X-Factor: Juno has been murdered and he believes these Sith are responsible for killing Juno. He is bloodlusted and wants revenge at all costs - like a Kill Bill type scenario. Does he have an epic fail or an epic victory?

He can't beat Bane or Palpatine but he'd beat Malak and Revan and be a good match for the vastly overrated Caedus. I'd say he probably wins.

Fvck Starkiller. Revan kills him "Heart of the Force" style.

Caedus stomps
Revan Stomps

Malak is a probable (but not certain) win for Starkiller.

Starkiller is a *****.

Way too powerful, just being a nobody.

ummm he is fvcking vader's ( the most badass guy eva) apprentice so yes he is someone

Lol Revan. He beats Malak with ease but struggles with Revan. Everyone else stomps him.

Anyway my problem with Starkiller is the exact opposite, he came out of nowhere and was this super instrumental character...

Anyway both Palpatine and Caedus beat him. Depends on the version of Bane. Revan and Malak are both iffy until the novel is released.

Marek definitely won't stop Palpatine. I'm sure credible arguments could be made for the others, though.

No, he is a fail character, all he does is scream and cry over Juno, Lucas Arts shit him out, and your judging by your username you are very biased, so stop.

Vader is badass, but his Apprentice is a joke.

Honestly, they should have scratched out Starkiller, and made a game where you ARE Darth Vader, and make him still like the bad@ss he was in TFU.

Heck, you could make a game where he is hunting Jedi and the story has him trying to supplant the Emperor and almost returning to light but ultimately failing. It would be tragic, and it would have the risk of cheapening the OT, but it surely wouldn't shit on the franchise the way Starkiller did.

I was just thinking of that earlier, they should, that'd be a great game.

Except for the remption plot line I'd agree.

Right, it would be kinda dumb, but LucasArts won't be making games where you are solely malevolent and megalomaniacal.

But a Darth Vader game would have been amazing; but yeah, for it have worked you need to inject some 'goodness' in the man for the sake of the game.

Vader, the Cyborg Unleashed.

Save younglings? + 5 Light Side Points

Hack younglings up, make everyone wonder about GL's sanity? +100 Dark Side and a shiny new power!

They could even have Starkiller as Vader's secret apprentice, except you play the game from Vader's point of view.

The two would go on adventures purging Jedi, and Starkiller ultimately redeems himself by meeting with Juno, falling in love, and blahblahblah, and convinces Vader to return to light. Vader redeems himself, and the two decide to kill the Emperor for the sake of the galaxy. Except when they arrive in front of the Emperor and face off against him, Starkiller would betray Vader 'Sith'-style and state that he will be the Emperor's rightful apprentice.

This betrayal shocks Vader and angers him. He battles Starkiller and the latter realizes at the end that he truly wants to go back to the Light Side, but by then Vader is too tormented and furious and cuts down his secret apprentice.

They could have a scene where Juno and some others run and come across Vader cutting down Starkiller, and since they had no idea of Starkiller's original betrayal, they would think Vader betrayed him, and that would fuel the Rebel Alliance.

It would be a great plot IMO.

I actually like that synopsis. Petition LucasArts.

Now.

I know, right. LucasArts clearly needs to hire me.

Exactly this.
