{{Characters need descriptions}}
As the details for ''[[The Force Unleashed]]'' differ for each form of media it is presented in, this guide mostly uses the novel and the [[PSPlay Station 3]] versions. However, some characters exclusive to other consoles are considered canon, and will be described. A lot of this information is [[All There in the Manual]] or according to [[Word of God]].
----
 
 
== Main Characters ==
=== Starkiller / Galen Marek ===
[[File:SecretApprentice_bg_5565SecretApprentice bg 5565.jpg|frame]]
 
{{quote|''"He is no Jedi. A Jedi controls his emotions and his powers. But Starkiller... he does not know restraint. He will bring down an entire Star Destroyer on your head, if that is what it takes to kill you."''|'''Juno Eclipse''', after being kidnapped by Boba Fett, ''Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II'' comic}}
 
Born Galen Marek on the Wookie homeworld of Kashyyyk, he was found and adopted by Darth Vader as a small child, after Vader had murdered his father. All his life, he was trained as Vader's secret apprentice, Starkiller. He is Vader's personal assassin, his identity kept secret from all in [[The Empire]]. According to Vader, all his training and missions are to prepare him for his greatest task, to destroy Emperor Palpatine, so Vader and Starkiller can rule the galaxy as Master and Apprentice, the way the [[Rule of Two]] dictates.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
 
* [[The Ace]]/[[The Gift]]/[[Born Winner]]: His first sign of greatness? Stealing Darth Vader's lightsaber with [[The Force]], as a small child. He also somehow learns how to use Force lightning, despite Vader being unable to demonstrate it due to his mechanical body.
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: In the sequel, {{spoiler|Darth Vader considers Juno this for Starkiller.}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Vader''': Rise above this. She means nothing!}}}}
* [[Action Genre Hero Guy]]
* [[Always Save the Girl]]: He disobeys a direct order from Vader to "sever all ties to his past" and rescues Juno from the ''Empirical''.
** [[Lampshaded]] by Kota in the sequel, as Starkiller's ''only'' motivation is to rescue Juno.
* [[Anti -Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Heroes|Type V->Type III]]
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: He was given no formal lightsaber training by Vader. The reason why he is a [[Master Swordsman]] was that he observed and reverse-engineered Vader and PROXY's moves... while struggling to survive them during his [[Training Fromfrom Hell]].
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: Twice.
* [[Badass]]
* [[Bad Powers, Good People]]: In the sequel he still can use [[Shock and Awe|lightning]] and his use of [[Jedi Mind Trick]] borders dangerously close to [[Mind Rape]], considering that he uses it to make mooks attack each other or even commit suicide. Despite all of this he has still turned away from the [[Dark Side]] and is dead set against going back.
* [[Battle Aura]]: While using Force Fury.
* [[Becoming the Mask]]: {{spoiler|Vader has him impersonate a Jedi, gather enemies of The Empire, and form an army to oppose The Emperor, but gets into his role a little too well.}}
Line 28 ⟶ 27:
* [[Brown Eyes]]: When he's not Sithing out like in the picture above, he usually has Sam Witwer's [[Puppy Dog Eyes|big puppy dog eyes]].
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]:
{{quote| '''Juno''': Why did you defy your Master to rescue me?<br />
'''Starkiller''': I needed someone to fly the ship!<br />
'''Juno''': We both know that's not true. }}
* [[Chewing the Scenery]]: He has a few moments of this in the second game.
* [[Child Soldier]]
* [[Cloning Blues]]: In the sequel.
{{quote| '''Vader''': Your feelings for her are not real.}}
* [[Code Name]]
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Especially in ''The Ultimate Sith Edition''.
* [[Covered Withwith Scars]]: Sith training is rough.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Usually in his interactions with Kota.
{{quote| (''kicking a dozing and hungover Kota, waking him up'')<br />
'''Starkiller''': I was beginning to worry you died in your sleep.<br />
'''Kota''': I'm starting to wish that I had. }}
* [[Determinator]]: His steely resolve to find Juno at any cost in the sequel certainly makes him this. It's pretty much the direct opposite of his hesitant and conflicted attitude in the first game.
** In the second novel, he's dead set against using the [[Dark Side]] to help him if only because he knows if he does he'll become Vader's slave again.
* [[Doomed Byby Canon]]/[[Too Cool to Live]]: If there was a super powerful Jedi running around post ''[[A New Hope]]'', we probably would have heard about it.
* [[The Dragon]] to Darth Vader's [[Big Bad]]
* [[Dual -Wielding]]: In the sequel.
* [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]
* [[Early -Bird Cameo]]: Starkiller appeared in ''[[Soul Calibur]] IV'' before the release of ''[[The Force Unleashed]]''.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Let's see: [[Dark and Troubled Past]]? Check. [[Troubled but Cute]]? Check. [[Shirtless Scene|Looks good with his shirt off]]? Check. I believe we have [[Mr. Fanservice]] here ladies.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Everyone Calls Him The Apprentice]]: At least in the first game, not so much in the second.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: He's what Luke Skywalker would have been if he had joined or been raised by Vader.
** [[Good Counterpart]]: Let's see: a person found as a child to be incredibly powerful in [[The Force]], forced to leave his home behind and subjected to rigorous training and pressure, has a droid as a companion, driven by a love for a non-Force sensitive but extremely beautiful [[Action Girl]]... yes, he's Anakin Skywalker if he hadn't been ruled by hubris, hate, and ambition.
Line 60 ⟶ 59:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|In the canonical Light Side Ending, he rescues the Rebel Alliance, but is apparently killed while holding Vader and The Emperor off to buy the rebels time to escape.}}
* [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game]]: Hunting Jedi for the first half of the game.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: In the sequel, {{spoiler|Starkiller, after having a powerful vision of Juno's ship being attacked and her being shot and captured, is relieved to find that the attack hasn't happened yet. He then proceeds to ''not '' warn the fleet about the future attack as soon as he is in radio contact with them.}} He kicks himself about it later but that's no excuse.
* [[I'll Kill You!]]: {{spoiler|After Vader seemingly kills Juno in the sequel.}}
* [[Improvised Weapon|Improvised Weapons]]s: With his over the top Force powers, he could turn a paperclip deadly.
* [[In a Single Bound]]
* [[Ink Suit Actor]]: Modeled after his voice actor, [[Sam Witwer]].
* [[In the Hood]]: His Jedi outfit at the end of the game.
** {{spoiler|His evil clone, the Dark Apprentice wears this too.}}
* [[I Surrender, Suckers]]: A gambit he pulls in the novelization of the sequel. {{spoiler|In the final battle, he has an epiphany and allows Vader to disarm him. Vader puts his lightsaber to his throat and declares victory. Starkiller then blasts Vader with Force Lightning at point-blank range, subduing him.}}
* [[Jedi Mind Trick]]
* [[Laser Blade]]
Line 82 ⟶ 81:
** And in the non-canon Endor DLC, he does this to Chewbacca, ''with his bare hands''.
* [[Neck Snap]]: The [[Reaction Command]] to kill a Shadow Guard (done with his bare hands).
* [[One -Man Army]]/[[Person of Mass Destruction]]
* [[Pre -Ass -Kicking One -Liner]]
{{quote| '''Juno''': They're fortifying all positions to try to keep you out.<br />
'''Starkiller''': Let them try... }}
** And in the sequel...
{{quote| '''Darth Vader''': This is your last chance.<br />
'''Starkiller''': I make my own chances. }}
* [[Raised Byby Orcs]]: More like raised by Sith but close enough.
* [[Reverse Grip]]: His standard stance. While he has studied all seven forms of lightsaber combat, he favors the Shien style.
* [[Shock and Awe]]
Line 98 ⟶ 97:
** In the novel for the sequel this is his reaction to Kota calling him Galen.
* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Where to begin: electrocuting people, squashing them, ''holding them in the path of the Death Star's laser''...
* [[Too Many Belts]]: Some of his outfits in the first game.
** The training gear he starts off with has no fewer than ''five'' belts.
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: Being raised by Darth Vader, or any Sith, is not good for your childhood.
** As a child, Vader once injected him with a paralyzing drug and dumped him into a wilderness, ''all to force him to [[Die or Fly|quickly figure out how to do the Jedi Mind Trick to get the predators to leave him alone]]''.
** That time Vader kept him shackled in a dark pit with no food or water for ''13 days''.
** To perfect his [[Dual -Wielding]] style, he worked his arms out like a maniac so each arm would be as strong as two.
* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: The Saber Throw technique.
* [[Tsundere]]: Can be considered something of a type A towards Juno, seeing how he attempts to act tough and aloof to her during their first conversation.
Line 110 ⟶ 109:
* [[Up to Eleven]]: The feats he can do with [[The Force]] are incredible even by [[Star Wars]] standards.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Starts out as one.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: In the first game, Juno gives him one for {{spoiler|continuing to serve Vader after being betrayed the first time.}} In the second game, Kota gives him one for thinking that Juno is more important than the rest of the galaxy.
* [[World of Cardboard Speech]]: In the sequel, Starkiller pretty much gives one of these to Vader.
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]
* [[Yin -Yang Bomb]]: Starkiller blends Lightside and Darkside techniques in battle, like an unrefined version of Vaapad.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: In ''The Ultimate Sith Edition'', he pulls this on the incompetent Captain Keenah, Force Choking him to death ''over the radio''.
* [[You Have Got to Be Kidding Me!]]: In the novel for the sequel, {{spoiler|Vader tries to convince him to team up against Emperor Palpatine, and Starkiller gets exasperated that Vader would try that after betraying him so many times and hurting Juno}}.
 
=== Juno Eclipse ===
[[File:juno_9318juno 9318.jpg|frame]]
 
{{quote|'''PROXY:''' Captain Juno Eclipse. Born on Corulag, where she became the youngest student ever accepted into the Imperial Academy. Decorated combat pilot with over one hundred combat missions and commanding officer during the Bombing of Callos. Handpicked by Lord Vader to lead his Black Eight Squadron, but later reassigned to a top-secret project--<br />
'''Juno:''' Is there a psychological profile in there, too?<br />
'''PROXY:''' Actually, yes, but it's restricted.|''Star Wars: The Force Unleashed''}}
 
Born on Corulag, Juno was raised to believe [[The Empire]]'s propaganda of Palpatine's rule being benevolent and of the Jedi being evil traitors. She is one of the youngest cadets in The Empire's history, being accepted at age 14. After graduating, she rose through the ranks in the Imperial fleet, until joining the Black Eight Squadron, Darth Vader's personal elite unit of TIE fighters. Recently she was reassigned to a top-secret mission: to be Starkiller's personal pilot for his ship, ''The Rogue Shadow''.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
 
* [[Ace Pilot]]
* [[Action Girl]]: Juno gets to do some covert ops work for the Alliance and knock Boba Fett on his ass in the novel of the sequel.
** {{spoiler|She pulls a [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] on Darth Vader by attacking him with Starkiller's lightsaber.}}
{{quote| (''to Boba Fett'') "He is no Jedi. A Jedi controls his emotions and his powers. But Starkiller... he knows no restraint. He will bring an entire Star Destroyer on your head, if that's what it takes to kill you."<br />
(''to Boba Fett'') "Your contract with Vader will last only as long as it serves [[The Empire]]. Eventually, you will be an outlaw too. And then, Vader will be hunting ''you''." }}
** {{spoiler|Will attempt to kill the Dark Lord of the Sith with a famously unwieldy (For non-force users) weapon after being force choked seconds beforehand}}. Also survives fifty meter falls with nary a scratch to be able to pilot a ship scant hours later. Looks good in uniform, Rebel or Imperial.
* [[Anti -Villain]]: Type I at first.
* [[Blue Eyes]]: Starkiller remarks how beautiful two lightsaber crystals are by comparing them to [[What Beautiful Eyes!|Juno's eyes]].
* [[The Captain]]: Though she holds the rank in the first game, she actually has a crew who listens to her as the boss in the second.
* [[Child Soldier]]
Line 141 ⟶ 140:
* [[Dark Chick]]: Starts out as an Imperial fighter pilot loyal to the Empire and willing to help Starkiller in his goals to exterminate Jedi.
* [[Dying Declaration of Love]]: Close to it when she kisses him after he tells her she probably won't see him again.
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: Starkiller rescues her from imprisonment on the ''Empirical''.
** {{spoiler|In the sequel, Boba Fett is hired to kidnap her and lure Starkiller into a trap.}}
* [[The Gump]]: In the second novel, the more Juno is involved with the Rebellion the more she becomes this.
Line 150 ⟶ 149:
* [[Living MacGuffin]]: The whole second games seems to be one big race to find Juno.
* [[Love Interests|Love Interest]]: For Starkiller. She was most likely the first woman he met who wasn't an assassination target.
* [[Minion Withwith an F In Evil]]: Rare dramatic example at first.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Her shirt is a little too low cut for an Imperial uniform.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Juno Eclipse was originally meant to be Asajj Ventress' name.
** Also she gets the quintessential [[Star Wars]] line "I have a really bad feeling about this."
* [[Now or Never Kiss]]: Gives one to Starkiller before his final mission, {{spoiler|to rescue the Rebel Alliance from the Death Star.}}
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: Let's just say that the majority of her characterization comes from the two novels while in the actual games she's not much more than a [[Voice Withwith an Internet Connection]], the [[Living MacGuffin]], and a [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]].
* [[Shell -Shocked Veteran]]: While in the Black Eight Squadron, she bombed Callos under Vader's orders, and ended up [[My God, What Have I Done?|wiping out all life on the planet]].
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]
* [[Violently Protective Girlfriend]]: See [[Action Girl]].
* [[Voice Withwith an Internet Connection]]: Shares the task of guiding Starkiller with PROXY.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy|Well Done Daughter Girl]]: Her years of service to the Empire were all to get her [[Jerkass]] father (an Empire and Palpatine [[Fan Boy]]) to be proud of her. It didn't work, and he never even showed up to her graduation ceremony.
* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]]: Better picture [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Juno2.JPG here].
* [[Wrench Wench]]
 
=== PROXY ===
[[File:proxy_953proxy 953.jpg|frame]]
 
{{quote|''"I had hoped using an older training module would catch you offguard and allow me to finally kill you. I'm sorry I failed you again, Master."''|'''PROXY''', on being defeated by Starkiller after using his Obi-Wan module}}
 
A droid Vader gave to Starkiller as a training aid/assistant. Helping Starkiller is only his secondary directive; as Vader is the master of giving [[Training Fromfrom Hell]], his objective is to ''kill'' Starkiller. Every once in a while, he ambushes Starkiller, only stopping if Starkiller lands a death blow. It is explained in the novel that his usual reasons for ambushing the Apprentice are to help Galen blow off steam when he's upset since [[There Are No Therapists]]. It is also briefly mentioned that PROXY is the one who raised Galen after the boy had been kidnapped from his home by Vader.
 
PROXY can use holographic technology to imitate nearly any being, and uses this to impersonate Sith Lords and Jedi Knights while dueling Starkiller, give information on assassination targets, or relay messages from people.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
 
* [[Adorkable]]
* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: The fighting styles of many Sith Lords and Jedi Knights are at his disposal. He can also imitate telekinesis with clever tractor beam and repulsor technology.
* [[Anti -Villain]]: Type III, to hilarious results. He's a combination of C-3PO and HK-47.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Effectively an innocent child who treats battle like a game and is too naive to understand what "death" means.
* [[Battle Butler]]: To Starkiller on occasions.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: In the novel, as well as some versions of the game, PROXY patches into The Core, a computer intelligence that runs the junkyard planet they were on. The Core retaliates and takes over PROXY making him attack Juno.
* [[Freudian Slip|Freudian Slips]]s: PROXY's holograph malfunctions in the novel of the sequel could be considered this.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|After his primary programing was fried, PROXY took it upon himself to distract Darth Vader long enough for Galen to get away with his life after being betrayed by the Sith Lord. He is eventually rebuilt in the sequel.}}
* [[I Am Not Left -Handed]]: Saves one fighting module for last: {{spoiler|'''Darth Maul'''.}}
{{quote| "I have one module you've never seen. An enemy I've stored for years."}}
* [[Laser Blade]]: A '''lot''' of them.
* [[Master Swordsman]]
Line 191 ⟶ 190:
* [[Shapeshifter Guilt Trip]]: He gets the upper hand on Boba Fett by turning into Jango Fett, his beloved father.
** Though unintentional, he does it to Vader too in the first game by attacking him as Obi-Wan Kenobi so Starkiller can escape. It doesn't do much in the game but in the book it catches Vader off guard.
* [[Voice Withwith an Internet Connection]]
 
=== General Rahm Kota ===
[[File:Kota_1150Kota 1150.jpg|frame]]
 
{{quote|''"Vader thinks he's turned you. But I can sense your future--And Vader isn't a part of it! I sense-- I sense only... ''Me?''|'''Kota''', {{spoiler|before being stabbed in the eyes by the apprentice and then sucked out of a spaceship}}}}
 
Born on an unnamed war-torn planet, General Kota had fought in the trenches since he was 10-years-old. A Jedi commander in the Clone Wars, Kota distrusted the competence of clone soldiers and preferred to rely on his own men as his troop. Because of this, he escaped execution from the infamous Order 66. After years of hiding where he still kept in contact with surviving Jedi, Kota finally surfaces to wrack havoc on the Empire and try to draw out Darth Vader.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
 
* [[A Father to His Men]]: His militia are loyal to the end for him, and he specifically chose natural soldiers recruited from even the Separatists because he felt that clones were untrustworthy, which ended up being well founded due to Order 66.
* [[The Alcoholic]]: Descended into alcoholism when his sight was taken from him.
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Stealing {{spoiler|the Emperor's ''own '' lightsaber out of his sleeve with the Force and attacking him with it }} takes guts.
** Survives endlessly fighting in a gladiator's arena for ''seven days''.
{{quote| '''Kota''': [[Badass Boast|You're running out of executioners, Baron!]]}}
* [[Blatant Lies]]: He keeps on claiming that his link to the Force was severed but he blatantly uses it throughout the game.
* [[Blind Seer]]: He is blind but he has no trouble getting around or fighting off enemies.
* [[Brown Eyes]] -> [[Gray Eyes]]: When he was blinded, his brown irises were burned off, leaving nothing but a silvery outline of where they once were.
* [[Captain Obvious]]
* [[Child Soldier]]
* [[Drowning My Sorrows]]: For quite a long time after the incident.
* [[Eye Scream]]: Being blinded by your own lightsaber has ''got'' to hurt.
* [[Fallen Hero]]: A mild case. After he's blinded, he doesn't turn [[Dark Side]] but instead just complains a lot and wallows in self pity.
* [[Four -Star Badass]]
* [[General Ripper]]: Obsessed with destroying [[The Empire]].
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars|Good Scars]]: Picks up quite a few badass facial scars from his time in the arena.
* [[Handicapped Badass]]
* [[He's Back]]
Line 223 ⟶ 222:
* [[Master Swordsman]]
* [[Mind Over Matter]]
{{quote| '''Kota:''' You're a Jedi, boy! Size means ''nothing'' to you!}}
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Even after being blinded and binge-drinking, he's actually as wise and as powerful as he ever was. {{spoiler|At the end of the game, he admits to Juno that he sensed who Starkiller was the whole time, and just pretended to not recognize him.}}
* [[The Obi -Wan]]: Guides Galen to the light side of the Force.
* [[Old Soldier]]
* [[One -Man Army]]: He may not be as powerful as Starkiller, but his performance in Tarko's gladiator arena speaks volumes.
* [[Properly Paranoid]]: Not trusting the clone troops saved his life.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: He was pretty arrogant until Starkiller beat the tar out of him.
* [[Sticks to Thethe Back]]: His lightsaber.
 
=== Darth Vader ===
[[File:Darth_Vader_9837Darth Vader 9837.jpg|frame]]
 
As The Emperor's Apprentice, his mission is to hunt down any Jedi who escaped Order 66, as well as any rebels. Finding a powerful, Force-sensitive child named Galen Marek, Vader violated the [[Rule of Two]] by taking him as his secret apprentice, Starkiller. He is preparing Starkiller for the day he destroys his own Master, and takes over as Emperor of the galaxy.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
{{hardline}}
* [[Abusive Parent]]: Throughout [[Training Fromfrom Hell|teaching Galen the ways of The Dark Side and the Sith]], he never gave him one ounce of encouragement or kindness.
* [[Badass]]: It's Darth Vader, what did you expect?
* [[Badass Boast]]: Many.
{{quote| "I've trained you well, but you still have much to learn."<br />
"Your journey ends here!"<br />
"I will show you ''true'' mastery of the Dark Side!"<br />
"Now you will surrender to me or die where you were created!"<br />
"I made you and now I will destroy you!"<br />
"I will destroy you a thousand times!"<br />
"I will replace you again and again!"<br />
"You are mine to command!"<br />
"Your live is mine!"<br />
"I will always be your Master, and you will always be a slave!"<br />
"Starkiller couldn't kill me. What makes you think ''you'' can?"<br />
{{spoiler|"As long as she lives, I will always control you."}} }}
* [[Badass Cape]]
* [[Bad Boss]]: For example, upon arriving at Kashyyyk:
{{quote| '''Imperial Commander:''' Lord Vader? We were ambushed upon arrival, but I have the situation well in- (''is Force Choked'')}}
** Also subverted in the same quote, as he actually spares the commander in question (although the Wii version makes it a bit more ambiguous as it cuts to right behind Vader after releasing his grip), although only because he arrived at Kashyyyk for a very different reason.
* [[Because Destiny Says So]]: Tries to impress this on Starkiller every chance he gets.
Line 262 ⟶ 261:
** This is even [[Lampshaded]] in an achievement/trophy unlocked by killing 12 stormtroppers called "Worst Day-Shift Manager Ever."
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]
* [[The Corrupter]]: He wants Starkiller on the dark side and will allow nothing to get in the way of that goal.
* [[Determinator]]/[[The Ubermensch]]/[[The Unfettered]]: Nothing can stop him from having his own apprentice, not even death itself. Also, credits, starships, and Imperial lives are all meaningless to him, he will expend any resources he has to complete a goal.
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]
Line 268 ⟶ 267:
* [[Get Back Here Boss]]: In the sequel, the first stage of his battle has him jumping from platform to platform.
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Gives these non-stop in the sequel.
{{quote| "You are only as strong as I allowed you to be, my Apprentice."<br />
"You were created to do my bidding!"<br />
"Look around you. You are expendable!"<br />
"You are not a man. You are a thing, an experiment."<br />
"And yet you fail to defeat me. If you wish to play at being a Jedi, so be it."<br />
"She loved a dead man. She would have ''never'' loved ''you''!" }}
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: In the Wii version of the sequel, he throws one of his cloned mooks at Starkiller, only for him to miss and blow up a power pylon. He then attempts to kill Starkiller by throwing him right into the pylon's energy spike, only Starkiller to evade it and shove him into the pylon. Surprisingly, he survives this.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Vader, given that {{spoiler|you'd ''just finished '' that speech below under I've Got Your Girl, why in the name of the Force did you then blast Juno through the wall instead of simply disarming her? Hostages can't be used to blackmail the hero if you've just apparently killed them right in front of him!}}
** According the the sequel's novel, {{spoiler|Starkiller deduces that Vader was planning to kill Juno the whole time, to get Starkiller to turn to the dark side via his anger and despair. Vader still grabbed the [[Idiot Ball]] for thinking he could control Starkiller.}}
* [[I Lied]]: {{spoiler|After betraying Starkiller, Starkiller asks about their plan to defeat The Emperor. He replies with this.}}
** Technically it was a half-truth. He did plan on betraying the Emperor, that much was true, but he wasn't planning on having Starkiller do so.
** The bios and some statements by those involved in [[Lucas ArtsLucasArts]] imply that Vader did genuinely intend to betray the Emperor with Starkiller on his side, but he apparently chickened out at the last moment.
** In the sequel, {{spoiler|he lied about the cloning process not being perfected.}}
* [[I Have Your Wife|I've Got Your Girl]]: {{spoiler|Tries to lure Starkiller back to him in the second game by kidnapping Juno.}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Vader''': (''releases the force choke on Juno '') Find and kill General Kota. If you refuse, the woman dies. You will return to me and give yourself to [[The Dark Side]]. If you resist, she dies. And when your training is complete, you will hunt down and execute the rebel leaders. If you FAIL, SHE DIES!}}}}
* [[In a Single Bound]]
* [[Insistent Terminology]]:
{{quote| '''Starkiller''': [[The Force]] gives me all I need.<br />
'''Vader''': The Force?<br />
'''Starkiller''': [[The Dark Side]], my Master. }}
* [[Jerkass]]
Line 293 ⟶ 292:
** Everything he does to Starkiller and Juno in the sequel.
* [[Kneel Before Zod]]: {{spoiler|Orders Starkiller to do this in the sequel by threatening to kill Juno.}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Vader''': (''force-chokes Juno '') Bow before me, or she dies.}}<br />
{{spoiler|'''Starkiller''': Wait! Wait! (''drops his lightsabers and kneels '') I will do your bidding. Just let her go.}} }}
* [[Lack of Empathy]]: Towards Starkiller and Juno.
Line 307 ⟶ 306:
* [[Neck Lift]]: The classic Force Choke.
* [[Ominous Walk]]
* [[One -Man Army]]
* [[Perfect Play AI]]
* [[Shapeshifter Guilt Trip]]: In the sequel, he tests Starkiller's commitment to [[The Dark Side]] by having him battle robots disguised as members of the Rebel Alliance. Starkiller can't bear to attack the Juno droid and fails the test. {{spoiler|The Dark Apprentice pleases him by striking down the Juno droid without hesitation.}}
** In the sequel's novel, Vader sends the droids against Starkiller when he returns to Kamino, but he finally realizes they are just enemy droids and destroys them all.
* [[Shows Damage]]
Line 317 ⟶ 316:
* [[Turns Red]]
* [[Vader Breath]]
* [[Villain Ball]]: After your apprentice had {{spoiler|gathered up the Rebel Leaders in a trap for you to take and that apprentice had clearly proved himself to be able to [[One -Man Army|destroy the entire Imperial Military single-handly]], yet is unconditionally loyal to you. What do you do? Get the [[Sarcasm Mode|genius idea]] to betray him because he had [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|outlived his usefulness]]. Fortunately, Galen Marek survived and Karma bit Vader's ass hard, when Marek returned and [[Curb Stomp Battle|royally curb-stomped him and The Emperor]], then giving inspiration for the rebels through his [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to start a revolution, which ended with Vader's and the Emperor's death.}}
** Everything about Vader's [[Villain Ball]] acts are oh so gloriously [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]], and I would go so far as to say deconstructed, in the second novel.
* [[Villainous Demotivator]]: It's amazing Starkiller never tried to assassinate ''him'' during his training.
{{quote| (''while giving Starkiller his next mission'') "My spies have located another Jedi. Kazdan Paratus is far more powerful than you. I do not expect you to survive. But if you destroy him, you will be one step closer to your destiny."}}
* [[We Have Reserves]]
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Vader was working with The Emperor the whole time. Starkiller was nothing but a tool to find the rebels and capture them.}}
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: {{spoiler|Pulls this on Starkiller when his [[Xanatos Gambit]] to capture the rebels comes to fruition.}} It didn't end up well for him.

=== Emperor Palpatine ===
[[File:swfu-emperor-palpatine_4399palpatine 4399.jpg|frame]]
 
The dark Sith Lord who founded the Galactic Empire and nearly exterminated the Jedi. Also goes by Darth Sidious. Considered by many to be the most powerful Sith Lord that ever lived. He turned the young Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker to the dark side and named him, as his apprentice, Darth Vader.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
 
* [[Always Accurate Attack]]: His Force Lighting always hits, even if you're hiding behind a wall behind him.
* [[Badass Boast]]:
{{quote| "The Rebellion ends here!"<br />
"You will scream like your father!"<br />
"You're just a worthless Jedi now!"<br />
"Hope makes you weak!"<br />
"You will never escape [[The Dark Side]]!"<br />
"I have always been your ''true'' master!" }}
* [[Badass Grandpa]]
Line 350 ⟶ 349:

* [[Evil Overlord]]
* [[Finish Him!]]
{{quote| "Yes! Kill him! He was weak!"}}
* [[Flash Step]]
