Fun fact. Starkiller and Sidous in this game have the same voice actor

[@alexkogan9755]

Yup. Sam insisted on doing both when LucasArts had somebody else in mind. And he does a freakishly accurate voicing of Palpatine.

Funny thing is, George Lucas actually made the lightside ending of the first game canon for a while. It wasnt until Disney bought the rights that Starkiller was sent to Legends continuity.

[@Dcll8451]

George Lucas is such a fuckin G for that. He knows a Star Wars story when he sees one!

[@Edmuresrampantmanhood-dp3jd]

There were levels of canon in legends, G T C S and N. G refers to stuff made by Lucas himself so the original 6 movies, T refers to the clone wars TV show, C refers to the main EU materiel ie. the novels and comics made after 1991, S is comics made prior to 1991, N is non-canon. Games were a little special, story wise they were considered C canon but gameplay wise were often considered non-canon due to some of the ridiculous feats the protag can perform. The novelization gives a better idea of what would be considered canon, at least in terms of Galen Marek's powers.

[@Lady_Amelia-Eloise]

@@Dcll8451I mean it’s almost like he created the series

[@sentientmango3259]

Ironically, I don't consider anything in the disney era to be canon. Except maybe Rogue One. Maybe.

It really is a shame that star killer isn’t canon, since I really like the idea that Vader unintentionally caused the creation of the rebellion through his apprentice.🐱

[@EmperorsWrath]

He may not be canon to Disney, but he is canon to Legends, which I personally prefer. The thing is, the game is secondary to the novelization in terms of canonicity, so his powers are significantly toned down.

[@cheese2848]

He got robbed of a great legacy, either killed Darth vader, or Started the Rebellion.

[@ajeenius7437]

@@EmperorsWrath Honestly fair. Disney have shown time and time again that they're absolutely terrible at writing stories for the Star Wars universe, so with its legacy in mind they absolutely shouldn't be writing it lol.

Always liked that. Anakin was still following the prophecy of the Chosen One even at his most evil.

[@omnipresentl1316]

It's funny how overpowered people rhink Starkiller is but when compared to the Legends Novels and comics he goes from ridiculously powerful to "okay he's really good but it makes some sense since he is the child of two Jedi Knights". Meanwhile we got some of the most well trained and Force Sensitive top tiers like Anakin, Luke, Yoda, Sidious, Revan, and so on. Plus General Grievous survived a planetary bombardment that split the crust open by just being a cyborg.

[@Shifty_JW]

“can I sith punt the emperor” will forever be an iconic quote

[@LegoBob4123]

7:22 In a fight between Starkiller and a group of Ewoks armed with slingshots, Starkiller would obviously win but it will be hell for him. Every time he gets hit, he tumbles to the floor and takes forever to get up. He'll fry them with lightning eventually, but it would be so frustrating, he'd turn to the dark side and go on a rampage that surpasses Anakin's encounter with the Tuskens in Ep 2

[@TheFirstCurse1]

If you played The Force Unleashed 2's Endor DLC you'd know that this isn't how it goes at all.

[@HolyknightVader999]

Funny you say that. Starkiller massacres the Ewoks in TFU2's DLC.

[@NobelTheKnave]

Just so you know Zanny, the Jedi Temple DLC level has a Darth Maul skin

[@alexkogan9755]

Zanny: It’s no longer canon because of Disney. Everyone else: IT IS CANON TO ME!

[@TheFirstCurse1]

The DLCs are 100% worth it. They're like amazing fan fiction after the dark side ending. They're some of the best DLCs ever made.

[@ferdithetank7535]

That Vader bossfight was so infuriating back in childhood, it was legit impossible to break out of QTE force grabs during the second phase. Seems that they decided to exclude Force Unleashed from cannon after the 2nd game, because it devalues the strength of Darth Vader, which is why you can't canonically defeat him in Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor. Makes sense, he is THE trademark villain of the series, but still.

[@eneco3965]

Nah, it's because disney is shit, as usual

[@lucasthomas6916]

I remember when Rogue one was announced and my brother told me it was a movie about how the Rebellion was formed. I was so hype because I thought it was gonna be a movie adaptation of this. (I was like 8 or 9) and my brothers looked at me like the "how do we tell him?" Spongebob meme.

[@isaacnikolic5895]

I've never seen someone suck so much at following the Force Unleashed instructions. It's really obvious what the game wants you to do and Zanny goes "no. the hard way".

[@TheFirstCurse1]

He's really bad at this game, but hey, at least he's having fun. That's all that matters.

[@garlicmayo-nee8126]

Personally, I find the Wii version of the Force Unleashed 2 better than the Xbox version, as weird as that sounds. This is because of a couple factors like not having everything thrown at you in the first level with examples being that the Carbonite/fire-shooting robots only appearing on and after the second level. And abilities like mind trick, for example, which is unlocked on the third level with a cutscene unlike in the xbox version which just has a Stormtrooper jump through a window on the first level.

[@Lucky3nd]

Finally somebody else!!! btw same bro also find it better

True, although technically it was the novelization's version of TFU that was canon over the game.

[@russianoverkill3715]

@@EmperorsWrath there is no such rule for novels being higher in canonicity than games, although I gotta say gameplay mechanics are in S-canon, while the overall story of the game is in C-canon.

Epic when Starkiller fights the emperor, its Sam Witwer vs Sam Witwer

[@kylekopsi7039]

My favorite thing about when studios adapt games into movies is how accurate they always are to the source material and how they never stray from it whatsoever. Like Halo. I just know that if Disney ever adapted this story they wouldn’t change a single detail about anything. They’re so good about staying true to the source material. I mean just look at how well they adapted Thrawn. I mean we all know nobody likes Starkiller for his character or Sam wittwers performance bringing him to life, or how a small insignificant tool can break away from the system and become a force for good. We only enjoy his character because he yeets Ben Kenobi into an engine and makes Han Solo shoot his best friend. Details that absolutely cannot be changed so help me God Filoni

I definitely agree with Zaniel, Force Unleashed isn't as good overall as Survivor, but the combat moves and the possible combos that are doable with them are definitely better to a certain degree.

How did this game age better than Republic Commando? That game is still gold. I’ve never had issues playing it backwards compatible and its graphics are still decent.

I played the PS2 version and it was much better in terms of the game mechanics. The PS3 version had better graphics, but that was about it. Somehow the PS2 version had a better vibe to it in my opinion. Too bad the game couldn't be emulated on PC as the quick time event buttons don't show up on screen. PS2 was such a legendary platform with so many good games, I still have my collection of 50+ games. I should try to take out my dusty old PS2 though it was struggling when I stopped playing that.
