I think...Vader was always afraid of you. He'd never admit it, but there was more fear in him than he could ever inflict on anyone else.

[As much as Vader had made Starkiller suffer through his life, there had never been cruelty, only anger, despair, and rage. It gave Starkiller perspective on the man who had raised him.]

I...appreciate your confidence in me. The...Jedi I was training under, General Rahm Kota, he tried, but even Master Kota saw me as a weapon to be used. He wanted me to lead the Rebels, give them something to rally behind.

[Starkiller's feelings on Kota were conflicted. As much as he respected Kota, Kota didn't respect him.]
