Star Wars has no shortage of iconic characters from its library of video games over the years, but few of them have showed up in the movies or on TV shows. But one popular Force user almost appeared in Star Wars Rebels, according to the voice actor.



Sam Witwer, who portrayed Darth Maul in The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, said during his Twitch stream that Starkiller from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed nearly appeared in an episode of the latest animated series.

Witwer was playing the game alongside fellow voice actor David Collins when he revealed the inclusion was considered by Rebels executive producer Dave Filoni.

“Dave did share with me, by the way, he considered making Starkiller an Inquisitor in Star Wars Rebels,” Witwer said. “It didn’t quite fit the story that they were telling, but he did think about it because he thought that would be interesting.”

Starkiller, born Galen Marek, was Darth Vader’s secret apprentice in The Force Unleashed and its sequel. The player controls the character in both games. The first title consists of Starkiller hunting the remaining Jedi in between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, honing his skills and training to eventually take on the Emperor himself so that he and Vader could rule the galaxy together.
