Plagueis was a member of the Munn species named Hego Damask II who worked as a magister of the InterGalactic Banking Clan - and as a secret Sith apprentice.
Vader still had a strong connection to his former apprentice, however, and cloned him in an attempt to rekindle their relationship Starkiller's clone was the protagonist of "The Force Unleashed II." Ultimately, Marek paid the ultimate price and sacrificed his life during a battle against Vader and the Emperor on the bridge of the newly constructed Death Star. Retiring the name Starkiller, Galen Marek helped the early Rebel Alliance secure the plans for the Death Star and shielded Bail Organa from a surprising Imperial assault. Left for dead by his former master, Starkiller started down a path of redemption and trained under Kota to become a force for good. Although successful in wiping out many Jedi, Starkiller was betrayed by Vader after Emperor Palpatine suspected the two would attempt to overthrow him. Vader tasked Starkiller with hunting down surviving Jedi, including prequel trilogy character Shaak Ti and the newly introduced Rahm Kota, a Jedi warrior who had survived Order 66 because he chose to train his own men instead of relying on clones. These great Star Wars characters have yet to appear on screen - with any luck, it's just a matter of time. Still, since then, some Expanded Universe characters have been brought into the movies and TV shows - Grand Admiral Thrawn, for example, appeared in "Star Wars Rebels." But not every character gets that chance. Much of the older Expanded Universe is now deemed non-canon, as Disney chose to relaunch the timeline after purchasing Lucasfilm in 2012. The Expanded Universe generated hundreds of new characters, locations, and events in the Star Wars universe. The so-called Expanded Universe reached even greater heights in 1991, when Timothy Zahn's novel "Heir to the Empire" and the comic series "Dark Empire" proved that printed Star Wars stories could be just as exciting as the films themselves. Other media, including books, comics, and games have been part of the franchise since the beginning, with the first spinoff novel, "Splinter of the Mind's Eye," and a Marvel comics series released a year after the original 1977 film. But Star Wars has always had life beyond the movies and spinoff series.
