Since Vader commanded him to build a rebel army and to kill the Emperor, the apprentice (now named Starkiller) is on a direct path to the light side and salvation. So much for righteousness being self-determined virtue.

As part of his new super-secret mission, Starkiller must sever all ties to anyone who ever knew him so that he can be an even better assassin. That means everyone on this medical ship, including his pilot/obvious love interest, Juno. But he can't just let her go, so Starkiller has to kill all the ships troops and rescue the princess er Juno.

Like the stage mother he is, Vader dressed Starkiller in impeccably white, robes and finally gave him a shower. This outfit, as always, includes a loincloth.

The ship he is fighting through, just like the Tie Fighter factory, is an example of neo-Empire architecture. The first step is to break out of this medical facility. So, use the Force blast to break the glass and then force pull the nearby blue cylinder up to the ceiling to clear out the choking green smoke. To help Starkiller eliminate all of the enemies, PROXY programs the ship to crash into the nearby star.

Easter egg watch - As Starkiller escapes, the warnings over the intercom call him "captive 1138"

After battling through room after room of Storm Troopers, Starkiller eventually stumbles upon a very challenging enemy known as an Imperial Purge Trooper. A Purge Trooper looks almost exactly like a Storm Trooper except that it is a gun-metal gray robot that stands 12 feet tall and has a rocket launcher mounted on its shoulder. It may sound cool but its long legs andherky-jerky walk makes it look like a High School metal shop project.

How to defeat an Imperial Purge Trooper

• Stand outside the room and wait for the two regular Storm Troopers to come out and get you. Kill them. Don't worry, the Turge Trooper cannot fit through the door.
• Run into the room and get into close combat with the Purge Trooper so he won't shoot at you with the missiles.
• Attack it with lighting to stun it and then hit him with an X, Y, Y sword combo.

Starkiller eventually works his way to the command center of the ship where he is met by two more Purge Troopers. To beat these guys you need to get in real close again and shock them and then attack as they try to get up. If they are close enough together, you may be able shock both at the same time. I finally did it after a lot of trial and error can't figure out any easier way to do it.


With all the troops destroyed, Starkiller is free to release Juno from her way overly elaborate imprisonment. The imperials could have just locked her in a room. Starkiller caries her out of the ship. Bewildered that he would rescue her and risk being branded a traitor, Starkiller tells her that he is "leaving the Empire behind." Lets just take a moment here to level-set on the philosophy. According to Star Wars, salvation isn't gained by your own choosing. The only reason Starkiller is fighting for the good side is because his master commanded him to. That is not free will. Shouldn't goodness come from your own conscience and not pushed on you? Isn't following whatever moral choices your leader tells you do what sent this galaxy down the fascist path it is in now? Have we not learned that piety must be freely chosen and not forced on you?
