However, while Star Wars Rebels' story wasn't a good fit for Starkiller, Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi might be the ideal place for him to return. Years later, Dave Filoni, while working on Star Wars Rebels, considered bringing Starkiller back, only to shy away from the idea. Starkiller became an immediate fan-favorite character but ended up being struck from canon when Disney reset the expanded canon to make room for its new continuity.
Vader's intention was to create an apprentice he could use against Palpatine, but along the way, Marek ends up betrayed by Vader and helps create the Rebel Alliance. Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi might have created an opportunity to bring Darth Vader's apprentice, Starkiller, into the Star Wars canon once again. Debuting in the Star Wars: The Force Unleashedvideo game, Galen Marek, aka Starkiller, becomes Vader's apprentice as the Sith Lord hunts the remaining Jedi following Order 66.
