Two words: bad ass. Two more words: Fuck yes.

Glad to see they made a sequel but I'm a little confused since both endings from the original take completely different paths unless he was cloned.

It did on the Wii. LIGHT SABER DUELS

You should get a Wii.

Also...didn't he die at the end?

First one was kind of a let down. This one better not be.

A bit on the overhype on the first game since you could buzz through story mode pretty quick.

Got all the costumes and color crystals then brought it back. Little did I knew that DLC came like 6 months after. Probably ain't worth it, however.

It isn't.

Yeah, I had high hopes after playing the demo. But this was shit. that's the reason I didn't get excited for Arkham Asylum, because I figured it'd be just like the demo and that's it, even though the demo was awesome I just didn't think 12-20 hours of that would be fun. But i guess you can't judge a game by the demo.

That was the point I was trying to make you either get killed which is the canon ending btw or suffer a fate that could be considered worse which oddly enough they made an expansion of.

The wii one was bad ass. Even my gf who does not give 2 shits about star wars loved it. Specially the duels.
I am happy for it.
Regarding the story..remember cloning technology in the SW universe..It would not surprise me if Vader clones him or something to keep the plan..who knows..
that Rancor got his ass handed to him tho.

I still get excited for games. I just don't get excited by demos.

that or vader just told the emperor he was dead and then kept him alive

That is an interesting theory but that would that mean Vader was trying to sabotage the Dark Side from within all along ensuring the Empire's failure.

its pretty clear from the whole first video game and in the return of the jedi that he was doing that all along

hes not trying to sabotage the dark side hes trying to overthrow the emperor... he hates the emperor but theres nothing he can do, which is why he tries to get apprentices to help him like this one or how he tries to get luke

then again, maybe this game isnt canon

That's just how the Sith work. They always travel in 2's and the apprentice always tries to kill the master and then they take an apprentice and the cycle continues. This is why I enjoy Star Wars Legacy so much because they tossed that idea out the window.

Yes Vader was power hungry and wanted to overthrow the Emperor but his plan more or less backfired since Starkiller pretty much betrayed him and was strong enough to defeat him.

The Emperor promised Anikin that he would able to prevent padme's death if he joined the darkside, padme ended up dying, and anikin lost a lot of power when obiwon choped him up. He was now not powerful enough to defeat the emperor outright so he trained starkiller to do it, and in the movies he tried to do the same with luke, which in a way he did end up doing.

Vader's hunger for power came from his obsession of the death of his mother and trying to prevent padme from ever dying. Once she died, he wanted to destroy everything. Once he found out he had children, he wanted to kill the emperor again.

I loved the demo to the first game like crazy. Never got a chance to play the full game cause my roomates were hogging it the whole time. I even got around to purchasing it for $10...still havnt gotten further than the 4th level thanks to new games that have come out.

I didn't think you were that shallow.

How's the latest Dynasty Warriors game?

Can't exactly tell but that looks like Kamino.

Yeah, Vader's trying to clone Starkiller.

I can't stand the whole "secret apprentice" gimmick they rely on for nearly every expanded universe venture they do now.
There's plenty of other avenues to explore in Star Wars. There was a time not to long ago, in a galaxy not too far away, where lightsabers and jedis weren't the only part of Star Wars that people had any interest in.

They should use the scope of modern games to do more with the story after the original trilogy.
The Dark Forces games were fantastic.
I've never been a big fan or supporter of the expanded stuff, but I know the Thrawn Trilogy and Dark Empire storylines were a hit, and went into the aftermath of the original trilogy.

Even a remake/expansion of Shadows of the Empire would be more interesting than a sequel here, I think.

Of course, they will eventually do all of this so it makes little difference. They're just marketing the shit out of it all.
I wonder when they'll get around to a true sandbox Star Wars game...

The Old Republic is coming.

The Old Republic has a Smuggler class, though making a game around it sounds silly. As a side element yeah but not a whole game. I don't find smuggling to be one of Star Wars' key components.

They could easily make a game based entirely off the underworld, that would be similar to a crime tale or a western.
There's so much there.

That's actually the aspect of Star Wars I'd most like to see explored in the live action television show being developed. Who knows what that will be all about though

BDC wasn't talking underworld, he was talking about a junkyard game.

Not just smuggling, but crime is. It was a huge part of the original trilogy, back when there were only 3 characters with lightsabers.

Han Solo, Chewbacca, Boba Fett, Jabba The Hutt, Lando Calrissian, Tatooine and the list goes on for elements that are strongly connected to the underworld of Star Wars.
It's even inter-woven with the plot and interests of the Rebels and Empire.

Don't let the new focus of Star Wars fool you. I think there's way too much focus on all things pre-Episode 4 now.

I see.
