I always thought since the first time playing SW: The force unleashed that Starkiller (SK) was portrayed to be WAY stronger than he actually should've been portrayed.

The problem I have is that he is portrayed as almost a human with UNLIMITED FORCE CAPABILITIES. It's SW gone full retard IMO, and Jar Jar wasn't even full retard to me, quite close though. I mean it's getting the DC/Marvel Superhero effect placed onto the universe of jedi.

We keep making our heroes stronger and stronger, until they reach omnipotentcy and immortality. Then the story isn't fun anymore, no suspense, no danger. There is a reason our heroes are supposed to be able to die, because our heroes are supposed to struggle against adversity, to achieve success. A hero is called a hero becuase by definition it means:

remarkably brave person: somebody who commits an act of remarkable bravery or who has shown an admirable quality such as great courage or strength of character

A hero isn't brave, or even couragous if he knows he isn't going to die. He's operating well within his means and doing something as easy as addition. It's like admiring Hulk cause he can become angry. In fact Hulk isn't even a hero in my eyes, he's just a ball of hate and rage, typical of a villian.

Starkiller breaks the universe IMO because it shows that the Jedi should never fear death, ever. There is no sacrifice that they make. Because at the end of the day it was just 1+1 for them. They weren't brave to face adversity if they have potentially infinite force ability. But the problem is, they don't. It is why all of the other jedi are portrayed as heroes. The sith can even be defeated, so there is always a probable chance of success no matter how slim, and the heroes will sacrifice everything for that slim victory.

Starkiller isn't a hero, nothing of the word. He tarnishes everything a jedi, or even a sith stand for. Unlimited energy is just ludicrous. It is why I hate the way he was implemented into SW, and then portrayed as a good guy. He is an accident, like the Hulk. Sombody that shouldn't have existed. And sombody that shouldn't ever have been introduced into their respective universes.

inb4: anything related to the length of my post.

There are Sith Lords that can destroy planets with their minds.

Just saying.

Yes he is.

Luke Skywalker is supposed to be the most powerful Jedi in the SW canon. This half assed clone blows him out of the water, with no canonical explanation behind it.

There is a reason the FU games suck, and it's not just because of gameplay either.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Yes, but the point was to make you feel like a total badass.

  • 12.05.2012 12:55 PM PDT

That's what I was thinking.

In my Didact vs. Starkiller thread, it was actually going to be Didact vs. Count Dooku, but I figured in this gaming community, adding in Starkiller would be more relevant, but now I kinda wish I went ahead with the original plan. It seems kinda one sided. lol

There's a “U” and “I” in union but just an “I” in my beliefs

He's actually underpowered.

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

I thought the idea was that he wasn't really a Jedia

Or a Sith



He was just... there

Trussingdoor is pretty kewl. He fires lasers and doesn't afraid of anything.

OP, are you calling starkiller an abortion?

By all means, go ahead and disprove me.

It's stated that he was the chosen one in the movies. He handed Jacen Solo's ass to him. By all means he should be the most powerful. But he pails in comparison to SK's force abilities.

No. I mean he can be defeated by many so he's not that OP.

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

Of course I'm too OP, that's why everyone loves me.

Wow two responses.

I'm flattered you went out of your way to do that for little ol' me. Cute.

Darth Nihilus, for one. There are several others than consumed worlds for their energy.

The emperor from TOR is the most OP Sith in canon. Darth bane was pretty ridiculous as well.

Have you watched SW: The Clone Wars series?

It can help your point of immortal heroes better than anything else.

You look around.You fire your weapon before you realize.
Its just me. I fall and you walk up. You cry why.
When i pop up. You look at me in wonder. I say,"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
You bend to my will and go to a cliff, walk off, and fall.
The last thing you hear is me stating as fact,"All will fail the battle of life, you just went early"

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

Shouldn't there just be more enemies that aren't canon fodder for that guy?

Well, Starkiller was basically meant to be Maul times 10,000, in terms of the game.

But he's also meant to be a one-in-a-million Force freak, in terms of canon.

Honsetly no. I feel like we were finally seeing and playing Jedi/Sith as they were meant to be.

lolno. The Dark Jedi were. The Sith are the result of the Dark Jedi interbreeding with the natives of Korriban.

They're completely separate entities.
