It has been almost a year since we first heard about a potential Black Series Starkiller but it sounds like we can expect an official announcement soon (SDCC). Starkiller (Vader’s Apprentice) fron The Force Unleashed will be the next Gaming Greats figure in the line after General Grievous (Battle Damaged) and, like Cal Kestis, Darth Malak, Bastila Shan, should be a mainline release and in the window packaging.
