Galen Marek Feats: Preface

The Preface of my Galen Marek series will be covering the various quotes and scans for Galen Marek before Mission I ( I.E. his boarding of the TIE factory and subsequent fight with Rahm Kota ).

Haden Blackman, one of the games' developers of the Force Unleashed states that Galen Marek is a photo negative of Luke Skywalker and is what he would have become had Luke been trained and raised by Vader. He also calls Galen a top tier Force user.

"The Apprentice is the photo negative of Luke Skywalker. He's been raised by Darth Vader, and is what Luke would have become if he had joined his father. Vader's not a very nice daddy. This guy has been raised to be a Jedi. When the Jedi use the Force, they respect it and don't overuse it. The bad guys - the Sith - keep testing their limits. Vader discovered this person who had the potential to be the most powerful Force user ever. He's up there with the top tier. He's extremely powerful. Vader has trained him in such a way that he just kept pushing his limitations, seeing how far he could use the Force. So, where a normal Jedi might use the Force to trick his way past a few stormtroopers, the apprentice might use the Force to bring down an adjacent building on top of those stormtroopers. He's extremely confident in everything he does. He's been trained by Vader to be an assassin, an unstoppable force."

Galen was stated to have nearly perfected lightsaber combat and to have knowledge of many fearsome dark side abilities.

"Under Vader's relentless tutelage, the Apprentice all but perfected the fine art of lightsaber combat and learned to wield many fearsome dark side powers."

Note: This is supported by the Campaign Guide where it lists his mastery in multiple forms one of which is Juyo along with The Force Unleashed story itself where Galen demonstrated multiple advanced abilities such as mass telepathic control over specific individuals and beast control despite not having learned any new powers that he himself did not develop throughout TFU.

"Only high-level masters of multiple forms can achieve and control the ultimate discipline known as Form VII."

Galen Marek is described as a virtually unstoppable warrior and a highly skilled duelist by the Star Wars Databanks.

Galen is able to instantly assume a fighting stance.

"Instantly in a fighting crouch, the apprentice brought his own blade up to block the blow, teeth bared in a delighted snarl."

Galen matches PROXY's own physically enhanced strength.

"He and his adversary held the pose for a bare second, light-sabers locked across their chests."

Galen demonstrates his capabilities in Force leap by augmenting the strength and durability of his legs, allowing himself to launch himself high into the air. He is described as having "perfect agility."

"Sparks flew as the apprentice Force-leapt high into the air and landed with perfect agility on top of a stack of crates."

Galen demonstrates his capabilities as a telekinetic.

"He reached out with his cupped left hand and swept a metal tool kit across the hangar bay, toward his opponent's head."

Galen demonstrates Force augmentation by dishing out a flurry of blows that no ordinary man would have been capable of deflecting. He then goes to demonstrate his capabilities in Force sense by leaping backwards onto another stack of crates.

"Kenobi ducked and leapt up after him, deflecting a flurry of blows that would have left an ordinary man in pieces, then responding with a sweep of his own that sent the apprentice dodging backward, jumping from one stack to another in temporary retreat."

Galen and PROXY are likened to Gados a super-humanly acrobatic species.

"So the duel proceeded for almost a minute, with Kenobi and the apprentice dancing like acrobatic Gados from stack to stack, lightsabers spinning and clashing, racks and tools turned into temporary weapons as they hurled themselves from one to the other."

Note: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gados

Galen demonstrates his capabilities in Force sense and precognition yet again.

"Twice he felt rather than saw the Jedi's blade sweep over his head."

At this point in time Galen's only fear is failing his master.

"The apprentice wasn't afraid of dying. His only fear was of failing his Master, and that fear he put to good use."

Yet another demonstration of Galen using the Force to increase his strength and resiliency.

"The dark side ruined through him, made him strong and resilient."

Galen feels more powerful then he has ever felt before.

"He felt more powerful than he ever had before."

Note: Galen by this point has lasted against Vader in a marathon duel that went on for hours before passing out. And as a teenager was already more powerful then most Jedi Knights from the Clone Wars era implying Vader was only holding back only insofar as to not kill his apprentice. His Force presence was also stronger then even that of a Jedi Master's when he was but a child and he was able to TK a lightsaber from Vader's grip despite Vader being combat ready.

"The first time they had dueled, in Starkiller's first life, Vader had displayed no anger at all-just determination, not to kill his apprentice, but to wear him into submission. The fight had raged across the training deck of the Executor for hours, with Starkiller never landing a SINGLE blow, no matter how he tried. He had gone from excitement at thinking that he had graduated to a new level of mastery to realizing just how much he had left to learn. More fuel had been added to the hatred he had felt for his Master and tormentor, along with a twisted kind of love for the man who made him stronger by showing him how weak he was. The fight had only stopped when Starkiller collapsed unconscious from exhaustion and was dragged by PROXY to his meditation chamber."

"Vader's apprentice was both strong in the Force and incredibly aggressive. As a teenager, the apprentice was already more powerful than many Jedi Knights had been during the Clone Wars, and it was only Darth Vader's incredible power and skill that allowed him to defeat the boy in combat."

“I sense someone far more powerful than you nearby. Your Master … Where is he?”

"Vader raised his blade to cut down the Jedi Knight, but before he could swing it the lightsaber suddenly flew from his hand. The Hark Lord wheeled around to attack, his free hand raised to crush whoever dared oppose him. He hesitated, an uncommon move for Darth Vader- -and the apprentice felt his mind spin with shock- -at the sight of a human child standing in the corner of the hut, dirty and bruised by the fall, dressed in clothes bearing Wookiee touches similar to those of the man still hanging in the air behind the Dark Lord. The boy held Darth Vader's lightsaber in both hands. The tip danced, but only slightly."

Galen is described as having superhuman agility and shows his capabilities with telekinesis by accelerating engine parts to missile speeds and buckling durasteel walls with gestures.

"The men leapt and tumbled with inhuman agility. When they gestured, metal walls buckled and engine parts flew like missiles."

Galen defeats PROXY after a minute long duel.

"Things became stranger still when the younger of the combatants, with a look of wild satisfaction, rammed his crimson lightsaber through the chest of his opponent. Defeated, the older man dropped to his knees, a look of shock spreading across his face."

We learn that PROXY only did as well against Galen as he did because he had the element of surprise on his side.

"You caught me by surprise, PROXY," the man said with an easy affection that belied his former ferocity. "I haven't fought that training program in years. I assumed you'd erased it."

Disables PROXY with lightning.

More to come in Galen Marek Feats: Mission I.

Galen is able to instantly assume a fighting stance.

You know that thread where Tempest said Silver went overboard on the Sidious thread quoting every example where Sidious "lovingly caused caressed a pear with the Force?"

Same concept here, just with Galen.

No offense, but you're no Silver lol.

Nice thread doe

The combined size of the accumulative Galen Marek Feats series will probably surpass Silver's own threads on Sidious tbh. While Silver is and will probably always be a superior debater I only meant I plan to do something similar with Galen Marek as what Silver did with Sidious.

Silver's only got one thread on Sidious as a respect thread - another to clear up misconceptions. He doesn't spend time making non-respect threads trying to win the respect of others 😂

tldr

rip

You think I'm trying to win the respect of others with this? Honestly I'm doing it mostly so I and other supporters of this character can have threads to constantly reference his feats rather then having to type them out every time which I currently do.

There's already a respect thread for that.

Making non-respect thread blogs for why this character is so powerful etc. only makes people lose respect for that character. Unless the character's severely underrated, which Galen isn't.

The respect thread doesn't have most of the feats that I reference when debating the character. ( I.S. its missing some pretty important feats ).

He was until I started debating for him. I remember when you said Dooku was on par with Galen as a force user with only Starkiller having the chance to surpass him in regards to lightning but still losing overall due to sabers. And nobody questioned that because it was a statement made by ShootingNova.

And how is a compiled list of all a character's feats a thread about how powerful they are? It's just a pile of facts being dumped in a single location. Not theorization about why they're "the best character evah!"

Dooku is closer to Galen as a Force user than Galen is to Sidious, yeah.

So you're trying to make a second respect thread for him? Why not just name it that?

Also, relating to the OP - mastering Juyo doesn't mean you've virtually perfected lightsaber combat - though I suppose "perfect" can be used loosely.

What does that have to do with you claiming Dooku was Galen's peer or superior and everybody following you like blind sheep? You tell me my actions for Galen are unnessacary and I'm telling you the only reason you think that is because of the actions I've taken to mitigate the damage you and others did to his reputation so long ago ( granted I'm not saying you or others think that way anymore ).

Not a second respect thread. Simply a compilation of every feat from the novel and comic.

Where do I say mastering Juyo means Galen nearly perfected his lightsaber skills? The quotes saying Galen nearly perfected his lightsaber skills is what suggests that.

"Under Vader's relentless tutelage, the Apprentice all but perfected the fine art of lightsaber combat and learned to wield many fearsome dark side powers."

People following me or others like sheep isn't my fault. I don't run promote myself through propaganda or anything.

How is that different?

...lol, 'kay.

I didn't say you did but when you have influence over people wouldn't you say it's your responsibility to encourage diversity of thought backed by logical reasoning?

Because a RT usually has gaps in it usually because it tried to only list a character's best feats. This one shall have no such flaws.

Dude, you were trying to nitpick for the sake of nitpicking and you didn't even bother to read it all the way through. And this isn't even as of his fight with Rahm Kota. :/

Many have claimed their respect threads to have reached near the pinnacle of perfection. Please note the key word: near. Many have updated their respect threads literally hundreds of times over the course of several years, attempting to perfect the content shown. Please note the key word: attempt. Others have created respect threads so detailed that they stretched beyond that of a Harry Potter novel and broke the system itself - thus resulting in its deletion. Please note the key word: broke. Here, tonight, we have finally glimpsed a thread that has no such limitations. It has not nearly reached the pinnacle of perfection - it has fully. It has not attempted to be a glimpse in the mind of a omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent entity - it has achieved. It has not broke the system - it has evolved the system into something beyond our comprehension.

And who is the being that formed such a respect thread? A respect thread that is without flaw?

Syndicate.

The smartest fan of his generation. Perhaps of any generation. The wittiest. The brightest. An unrivaled scholar. An unparalleled debater. On ComicVine, in the chat rooms or KillerMovies or YouTube, there is no one even close. He has not just intellect, not just skill, but dash: that rare, invaluable combination of boldness and grace.

He is the best there is at what he does. The best there has ever been. And he knows it.

Now, you should know it too. 👆

Uh, I've backed that numerous times, as has just about every debater who gets followed like sheep has. But I can't control anything.

...Right.

Umm, no. What I said still stands. I said what I did before because your point doesn't contradict mine.

Ah. 🙂 Thank you Ant. :3

Edit: Ngl you're new avi made me think you were a mod come to ban me for too many off topic threads...

Do you have a particular example on hand?

This is just the preface I'll be working on Mission I today and tomorrow.

You believed I was claiming Galen had near perfect lightsaber skills because he mastered Juyo did you not?
