Star Wars: The Force Unleashed<\/a> star Sam Witwer says he would be \u201cvery happy\u201d to shave his head if Lucasfilm were to ever ask him to return as Starkiller.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The actor, who is also known for portraying many versions of Darth Maul in the galaxy far, far away, touched on his interest in returning as the powerful Force user during an interview with Polygon<\/a>. Not only does he say he\u2019d love to spend more time wielding his lightsaber, but he\u2019d be up for the hairstyle change that would come with it, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would shave my head in an instant. Very happy to do so,\u201d Witwer said. \u201cI love that character, and he’s really the reason I’m here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Starkiller, whose real name is Galen Marek, first appeared in The Force Unleashed for the Wii, DS, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 in 2008 and is known as the secret apprentice of Darth Vader. Originally born under the wing of the Jedi order, he\u2019s eventually taken by the infamous Sith Lord and trained to be a powerful tool for the Empire.<\/p>\n

Following the first release and its 2010 sequel, Starkiller falls into the \u201cLegends\u201d category of Star Wars. It means that, although the character, as well as other The Force Unleashed characters like Juno Eclipse and Proxy, isn\u2019t currently considered canon, a reintroduction isn\u2019t exactly off the table.<\/p>\n

Witwer is a well-known Star Wars fan who has also gone on to voice Emperor Palpatine and other minor characters across the series\u2019 wide universe. Aside from Starkiller, most fans will probably recognize him as the voice of Darth Maul in a variety of spinoffs, including Solo: A Star Wars Story and the recently released Maul \u2013 Shadow Lord<\/a>. However, it\u2019s his role in The Force Unleashed that kicked off his Star Wars journey, and it\u2019s the part he may be most interested in returning to.<\/p>\n
