Picking apart the vague clues based on Episode VIII rumors and hints at the status quo of Force Awakens, would it be too absurd to believe The Force Unleashed is coming back in a big way?Ĭlue 1: Benicio del Toro is reaaaally coy about his character. As per the April 25th statement, all of the EU is available to inspire and influence future main Star Wars canon. The games have been swept under the “Legends” rug, but thankfully the Star Wars EU isn’t totally abandoned. The games were undermined during its time because actually playing Force Unleashed was maybe two hours of fun at most. Of course it wouldn’t be long Boba Fett’s Slave 1 is seen following Starkiller’s ship at the end of Force Unleashed II, and his fate after that remains unknown.Įxcept for the cloning nonsense, Force Unleashed proposed a great premise that deserves to live on in Star Wars mythology.


In the “Light” side ending of Force Unleashed II ( because moral choices in games were all the rage), Starkiller’s clone survives and captures Darth Vader for interrogation on the Empire.

Taking place between the two trilogies, The Force Unleashed follows Starkiller, a secret apprentice of Darth Vader who ultimately turns on him and establishes the foundation of the Rebel Alliance in his death. Released in 2008 and its sequel in 2010, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed were video games that were canon until the Disney acquisition.
