Introduction

Acknowledgements

There was no better way for me to revisit the world of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed than by entering another world I love just as much—the Prima Games offices. After spending nearly a month with them, I was reminded of just how much fun that entire office can be.

Thanks to Don “Vader” Tica for everything. He’s a great product manager, an amazing coworker, and a best friend. Thanks to Carrie Andrews and Jody Seltzer; you guys are my favorite team. Muchas gracias to the great folks at LucasArts.

Had it not been for Bertrand Estrellado, Johnny Szary, Mark Friesen, Devin Hitch, Vince Kudirka, and the rest of the LucasArts crew, this guide would not have gotten done. Best of all, they’re great guys too! Thanks for being so accommodating on my all-too-brief visit.

Previously on Star Wars: The Force Unleashed...

When Anakin Skywalker turned to the dark side, he became Lord Vader. In the wake of Order 66, the Dark Lord began to hunt down the remaining Jedi. When he encountered a Jedi on the planet of Kashyyyk, he got more than he bargained for. The Jedi was no more powerful than any other Jedi that Vader had already defeated, but there was something present that was far more connected to the Force than the rogue Jedi—his son.

Though barely a toddler, the Jedi’s son was highly skilled in the ways of the Force. After striking down the rogue Jedi, Vader saved the boy and raised him in secret. The child’s power grew just as he did.

When it was time, Vader unleashed his secret apprentice, code-named Starkiller, on the remaining Jedi in the galaxy. But while Starkiller hunted and destroyed the last of the Jedi, there was a darker plot brewing.

While Starkiller thought that ridding the galaxy of Jedi was his destiny, it was actually Vader’s plan to train Starkiller and use him to overthrow the Emperor.

While Starkiller traversed the galaxy hunting Jedi after Jedi, trouble was brewing in the Galactic Empire. The Emperor was no fool; he sniffed out Vader’s betrayal! To prove to the Emperor that he was loyal, Vader turned on his secret apprentice and ran his lightsaber through him.

The Emperor was satisfied with Vader’s show of loyalty and returned to his ship as Starkiller’s lifeless body drifted deep into space.

But Vader was not done with his secret apprentice. He salvaged Starkiller’s body and created a new plot to overthrow the Emperor. Starkiller was to secretly locate the remaining Jedi, join them, and create a Rebel Alliance to distract the Emperor. While the Emperor was distracted by the Rebel Alliance’s uprising, Vader and Starkiller would strike!

The Dark Lord’s plan worked. Starkiller united the remaining Jedi with the help of his first victim, Master Rahm Kota. The pair traveled the galaxy uniting the Rebels in their common cause until Starkiller was once again betrayed by his master.

This was the final straw. Having been betrayed twice by his master and swayed by his love for Juno Eclipse—the captain assigned to his ship, the Rogue Shadow—Starkiller finally turned to the side of light.

He hunted down his master, Lord Vader, and confronted him. As Vader nearly fell to Starkiller’s lightsaber, Starkiller was faced with a choice: destroy Vader and join the Emperor, or strike down the Emperor and free the Rebel leaders.

His decision made, Starkiller attacked the Emperor and allowed the Rebel leaders to escape. However, the Emperor was too strong. He defeated Starkiller but was unable to destroy the Rebels too.

The Rebel Alliance would meet in secret, just as Starkiller intended, and would rally around their martyred leader. The Rebel Alliance was born, but what happened to Starkiller’s body?
