Never got around to playing it, but I believe "Starkiller" is the main character in The Force Unleashed. Could be where you've heard the name before.

It is, but that one is actually the reference to Luke Skywalker's name in some of the earlier drafts. See, for example:

Yep, just commenting on the "and I've heard of that name before" portion. I think The Force Unleashed has a bigger cultural awareness than the draft movie scripts.
