One of many clones created and tested to replace the Dark Lord's original apprentice, Galen Marek, Starkiller's first task with his new weapons was to destroy a group of training droids disguised as Rebel troopers.

Subject 1138 'Starkiller' received his lightsabers from Darth Vader, the Sith Lord who trained the original Starkiller.Īfter progressing far through a series of trials, Subject 1138 'Starkiller' received his red-bladed lightsabers from his Master and creator, the Sith Lord Darth Vader, in 1 BBY. You were created to do my bidding.' ―Darth Vader and Subject 1138 On the one hand, he acknowledged that the use of dual-lightsabers increased his overall abilities as a combatant, and on the other, Jar'Kai diminished the strength of his attacks since it prevented him from wielding a lightsaber with both hands. These combat forms ultimately enabled the clone to master the Jar'Kai technique, of which Starkiller found both strengths and weaknesses in. As such, he inherited the original Starkiller's preference for the Shien-style reversed grip, as well as the Ataru and Niman fighting styles. Īs with his clone precursors, Starkiller was programmed with the knowledge and skills of his genetic template via memory flashes. The emitters featured a slanted, wrap-around guard that was aesthetically similar to emitter shrouds, rather than the standard emitters on the first stock design. The hilts featured a set of black plates the activator a simple red button located on a silver ring around the hilt, approximately halfway along its length. Like their counterpart weapons, Starkiller's lightsabers were both based on a transparent hilt which displayed the blade's energy fluctuating within. Their design was a modified version of the first set of lightsabers, many copies of which were used by the clones who were deemed as failures early in their training. As such, these lightsabers each contained a synthetic crystal which enabled them to produce a red blade. They were part of a second series of lightsabers that Darth Vader bestowed to the clones who progressed far through their trials.

Subject 1138's dual weapons were constructed for the purpose of training Galen Marek's clone in lightsaber combat. Subject 1138's lightsabers originally contained synthetic crystals, producing crimson blades.
