Monday, June 7th, 2010Galen Marek, warlord of the Galactic Empire.
“Your time is over! I am the future of the Sith!
-Lord Marek
Galen Marek was actually Darth Vader’s apprentice, between Episode III and IV. Darth Vader trained him to assist in the Jedi purge, but the Emperor saw more in him. He encouraged his intensive training until finally dropping a subtle hint that Vader had betrayed him. The Emperor wanted Lord Marek (newly christened) to kill Vader and replace him. All went according to plan, Marek turned rogue and wiped out thousands of stormtroopers to get to Vader, but the Dark Lord was to powerful. After a long and bloody battle, Vader overcame and remained the Emperor’s right hand.
