0  GamesCom: The Force Unleashed 2 Impressions Thu, Sep 2nd, 2010, 6:23 pm (EST) BY DARRYL The Force Unleashed was exactly what the Star War franchise needed, a game that finally let players, as the name suggested, unleash the Force in all its glory.

4  The Force Unleashed 2: What We Know So Far Sat, Jul 31st, 2010, 6:30 pm (EST) BY ADAM MA Just watching the Force Unleashed 2 trailer tells us a few things. Galen Marek (aka Starkiller) is supposedly back in clone form, and he's absolutely fantastic at killing stormtroopers. Darth Vader is still plotting to do something with his old apprentice, which may include making a clone army, and no doubt the fate of the universe will somehow hang in the balance. There's a lot going on in Force Unleashed 2, and between all the fancy CG movies and trailers it can be hard to keep track. Fortunately, we've made a handy little list of new features for everyone’s convenience. So lets take a look at what the Force Unleashed 2 actually has to offer us, and why it may be worth looking into regardless of your feelings on the original. Story-wise things are still a little convoluted since everything we've learned up until this point have been facts to hype up the crowd. As of this point, Darth Vader, still reeling from the betrayal of his former apprentice, has taken the body of Marek and cloned the young Jedi at the infamous Kamino. The current Starkiller seems to be the result of many failed clones, and exists with fractured memories of his past life. After being assaulted by the memories of his past, Starkiller heads out into the universe to discover the truth of his past. More »

No real details on what his role is in the game besides hunting down Galen Marek, aka Starkiller, the protagonist that we thought was dead. "We didn't want to just throw Boba Fett or other characters in the game just for the sake of making a fan appearance," says Haden Blackman, story writer for both games, "but it really made sense for [Vader] to hire Boba Fett."
