After the Jedi Rebellion, the young Annikin Starkiller and his brother Deak settled on the Fourth Moon of Utapau with their father Kane Starkiller. However, a Sith Knight discovered their hiding place, forcing the family to flee to Aquilae. He and his father had been warned earlier by Annikin, and had solved a Corbet dictum problem cube with some effort, but before they could steal the Sith Knight's ship, a Banta Four, the Sith Knight ambushed and killed Deak.
In the first draft, he is known as Bink Valor. When Matt Lanter was auditioning for the role of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, he was told he would be playing "Deak Starkiller".
