Glad to see some people haven't abandoned Timothy Zahn's version of the expanded universe. Great concept, and a nod to various Starkiller incarnations that have popped up throughout the various SW canons

It's hard from me to deviate from what I had grown up with, all of the novels, video games, tabletop RPG books, comics, etc. My limited foray into the new canon left me unimpressed, so it was only natural for me to fall back to what I know best.

Some explanation behind my choice for the "Starkiller" name for Anakin's clone: Galen Marek (as you know him from The Force Unleashed and its sequel) does not become Starkiller in this setting; while his father is killed during the Clone Wars during the Corellian Sector campaign, Galen himself grows up in the Jedi Temple and ultimately becomes a Jedi Knight. As for Starkiller Base, that too doesn't exist in Father and Son of the Suns, as my setting is derived from the EU/Legends continuity, not the new canon.
As a couple of folks have speculated, I like using some of the throwback ideas and names to flesh out this setting, as homage to their origins. Starkiller was originally the family name of Anakin (then Annikin) and his children, Luke and Leia, in the drafts of The Star Wars. The clones of Anakin and Obi-Wan idea was originally inspired by Timothy Zahn's pitch that one of the antagonists in his trilogy would've been an evil clone of Obi-Wan Kenobi. This was shot down by Lucasfilm, thus he created the character of Joruus C'baoth instead.
While not particularly original names, I felt that they would represent the characters and the setting well, plus give a couple of nods to IRL Star Wars development lore.

Good art I guess, but don't you think you could have used a name that wasn't already taken by both a real character and an object?

"Starkiller, [a] clone of Anakin Skywalker"
I tip my hat for that reference.

I don't: said reference has been previously used for not one but two different things in the actual franchise.

2 characters, technically 3 if you count Kane Starkiller. In an early draft of A New Hope, the character that would be Luke is named Annikin Starkiller. That is what he's referencing in tangent with Starkiller from The Force Unleashed 2, an actual clone.

Wasn't Starkiller the character from the Force Unleashed? He was Darth Vader's secret apprentice if I'm not mistaken.

Nice. It's interesting to note that Starkiller was also a character in The Force Unleashed for Playstation 3.

Yep, Galen Marek. Damn Lucas for disowning the expanded universe. Would've been nice to see The Force Unleashed as a movie, so much potential.

I would like to say, the ship artwork that appears on shoguneagle's profile is generally very well done even though I haven't reviewed them too often. I just find it easier to critique artwork centering around characters.
