Who has a Ghostfire lightsaber?

The Ghostfire lightsaber is a unique weapon wielded by Galen Marek (also known as Starkiller), the protagonist of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed video games. Starkiller, who is an apprentice to Darth Vader, wields the Ghostfire lightsaber in The Force Unleashed II.

Features of the Ghostfire Lightsaber:

  • The Ghostfire lightsaber has a purple blade and is notable for its flame-like or ghostly appearance, which makes it visually distinct from traditional lightsabers.
  • It is one of the special lightsabers in The Force Unleashed series, reflecting Starkiller's complex and powerful connection to the Force.

Why it's Unique:

  • The Ghostfire lightsaber is symbolic of Starkiller’s inner turmoil and his connection to both the Light and Dark sides of the Force. His journey involves overcoming the manipulation and control of Darth Vader and ultimately finding his own path. The unique appearance of the blade signifies the unpredictable and powerful nature of his Force abilities.

In Star Wars Canon:

  • While Starkiller and his lightsaber are part of Star Wars: Legends (formerly the expanded universe), they are not officially part of the current Disney Star Wars canon. However, the design of the Ghostfire lightsaber and Starkiller's role in The Force Unleashed games remain popular among fans.

The Ghostfire lightsaber is an example of how Star Wars has expanded beyond the core films and into other forms of media, offering fans unique and memorable weapons and characters.
