House of Marek

The Marek family was a human family known to contain at least three force-sensitive members beginning with Kento Marek and his wife, an as of yet, unnamed female Jedi. The family produced Galen Marek who became the Secret Apprentice of Darth Vader.

History
The first known member of the family was Kento Marek, a member of the Jedi Order who fathered a son, Galen Marek with an unidentified female Jedi.

Kento and his family lived on Kashyyyk for more than ten years. There they would remain even after Kento's wife was killed by Trandoshan slavers while protecting the local Wookiees. In 18 BBY, Darth Vader arrived on Kashyyyk to continue his work in the Great Jedi Purge and slayed Kento.

Galen was taken by the Dark Lord, redesignated as Starkiller and trained to be his Secret Apprentice.

alen later returned to the light side, but died while fighting Palpatine and Vader on the Death Star.
