Awhile back, I saw a commercial for the (at that time) upcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II video game. I already knew it the first time I saw it.

When my thoughts were confirmed (literally 5 seconds later)by the apprentice landing on the ground, disintegrating all of the stormtroopers in the area using only the force that fly out of his feet and looking up at Darth Vader, I said "Are they seriously making a second one?"

The reason I say this is because in the first game you play as the apprentice and he dies.

Reading the game info on TFU2 reminds me of the first Pokémon movie, well, somewhat at least - Main character dies, something life changing happens (in the game it's the rebel forces rise, in Pokémon it's everyone stops fighting).

When I thought on how you could've possible played as the apprentice, I thought maybe their is a story between the final battle in the first game and the death of Starkiller (the apprentice). But, I was wrong.

Just from the character bio on the official site of Starkiller, it says "He wakes up in shackles on [planet's name] with only fragments of the memory of his past self".

So Lucas Arts knows that Starkiller dies and they decided to make him come back to life without any explanation and absolutely nothing will be accomplished in the second game because it takes place between Star wars III and IV and you can't alter the story line because then people who are hardcore fans of Star Wars will notice and then complain to Lucas Arts for changing the story line of the Star Wars universe and not give an explanation at any other time throughout Force Unleashed 2 on why the story line was altered which would cause Star Wars 4, 5 and 6 to be wrong because something was accomplished in Force Unleashed 2?

No, I refuse to accept that. While I did enjoy the first Force Unleashed game, I thought they would've ended it there - you die, the rebel forces rise. But I should've known that George Lucas wont accept the fact that Star Wars just needs to end.

I am refusing to play the second game, but I can probably guess what is going to happen - you wake up on distant planet (this knowledge goes out to official site), you are told you need to kill Vader, you fight Vader about 10-15 hours into game play after dying more than a handful of times, you die as a part of the story line, Que Star Wars IV.

This is something for George Lucas - just let it end.

This is the end of my rant which was needed.

Wow, that's pretty stupid.
Never played a TFU game before but they look okay.
Oh, and you're smart for not getting TFU2, a friend of mine said the story mode was extremely short. /=

He didn't die, it was only suggested that he died. Their non-canon appearance in Soul Caliber 4 takes place after TFU.

It's like most slasher films. If it makes money, the star comes back, no matter what.

If it is suggested that someone dies, then you would probably think that he is dead.

As for me, I thought Starkiller died so TFU2 is absolutely pointless because of what I already said in the rant - George Lucas just wants money.

Oh, and Jad, TFU was fun. I enjoyed taking a tie-fighter and throwing it at stormtroopers and then slash the living tar out of 50 more, but that seems like what will happen TFU2 without the enjoyability.

My friend showed me a link on Wookieepedia that says Vader made clones of Starkiller.

That doesn't mean he's dead though. It only means that a bunch of short-sighted fans saw the ending and assumed he was dead.

He probably did die. LucasArts just made up some lame reason to resurrect him so they could make more money.
