And the best part? Those ships are one of the best ever built in the Galaxy even if they were converted civilian buildings. And the shield generators that are extremely powerful since they have the ability to transfer power to Shields and even has Shield layers, meaning that there are multiple Shield generators that produce different layers of shields to provide Extra Protection.

I love how Rahm Kota, unlike other Jedi mentors of the protagonist, is not someone stoic and the voice of reason, but a broken and bitter guy who, like his disciple, suffers from enormous emotional instability. That said, poor Starkiller sure hated the fact that the blind Jedi who would accompany him wouldn't be a wise master like Kreia or a love-needy bombshell like Visas Marr, but a cranky drunk like Kohta.😅

Well tbf Kota was not like that until Starkiller blinded him. Prior to this, he was very much a stoic, reasonable, level headed yet brave Jedi. And the reason he became even more bitter is that the man who blinded him, Starkiller, then dragged him around the galaxy as a semi-hostage forcing him to teach him. I agree tho that it’s a nice change than the usual patient ever doting master, and adds a deeper level of both character development as well exploring the concept of redemption (both for Starkiller and Kota himself)

Both of the Force Unleashed games are just so much fun for some casual destructive fun with the force as you make the Empire run in fear of you. And the battles there, especially the Battle of Kamino, were amazing. The Battle of Kamino was so much fun, fighting alongside the Rebels, facing against Vader, and unleashing absolute hell on anyone that got in your way. Such an amazing battle.

Bevel Lemelisk is quite a fascinating character, as he was later tried by the New Republic and sentenced to death for building the Death Star and other deadly superweapons. His ending makes me wish Star Wars has its own "Nuremberg" miniseries. He should have also been part of the new canon, a he might have helped Krennic and Jyn's father build the Death Star. Lemelisk perfectly works as someone who creates weapons of mass destruction, not out of sadism or guilt, but out of his simple desire to improve science.

It's truly a crime the treatment Ackbar got in the sequels, being killed off-screen just to give his spot to that Winter 2.0....I mean...Holdo. At least Legends gave Ackbar a far better conclusion, in which he dies of old age while fighting the Yuuzhan Vong

Admiral Ackbar is an example of a character who was only killed off because he was important, deep, or well written in a sense or another. During the Disney Trilogy, he was a brilliant tactician existing before suits, directors and writers who knew nothing or nothing solid about militaristic combat.

And if they'd stuck to George's vision for 7-9, if people hated it, most of it likely would've been aimed at him again.

In my head canon, the "clone" in the Force Unleashed II *is* Galen Marek. He had spat in the face of death before when Vader stabbed him in the back, and Vader brought Starkiller back to life. It isn't too far-fetched to think that after the battle in the Death Star, Vader took Starkiller's body to Kamino, revived Marek, cloned him, and lied and manipulated Marek into thinking he was a clone, so that Vader could continue to tighten his hold on Marek. Now, in the alternate ending of the Force Unleashed II, I believe that evil clone was the only perfected clone of Galen Marek.

Same. My addition to that is it was also the beginning of the Emperor experimenting with cloning Force users, ultimately leading to his return in a clone body in Dark Empire. And Galen wouldn't be the only test subject. This could be where Joruus C'baoth was born. You might have to fight a clone of a deceased Jedi Master...Mace Windu maybe?

General rule of thumb: one has to be an avid multi-genre video gamer so to know and also experience these initial battles... though one may complain that a bunch of them are PC exclusives for good reason. Still am confused on how Ackbar got rescued though (the X-Wing video game and the Darksaber novel have a radically different sequence of events compared to Empire at War's Rebel campaign), and I still think TFU II is now non-canon apocrypha by way of being an incomplete first half sequel to an already fine standalone title.

At the beginning of the video you say "Like with any good story, we have to start at the very beginning", but funny enough, Star Wars started with the very middle of the story, and it's arguably one of the best stories. This isn't anything against you or the video. I just find the expression / attitude that we have to start at the beginning pretty ironic. I will agree though that Star Wars is an outlier when looking at a list of all the good stories out there.

Though I'm sure that I'll get wrathful curses from "Darth Chancellor" supporters / fans because.....in short - Sidious sux....he might've been "Living Dark side nexus, strongest sith lord, etc" in history & yet his rule (and his lifespan) lasted next to nothing compared to Ragnos 100 years or Vitiate going hardcore for 1300 years, also fact that Ragnos died natural death places him above poor Palpatine who was forced to hug reactor at free-falling speed. Vitiate / Valkorion could've create Galactic Empire if not for the similar loose screws as most of Sith or Darksiders usually have & I have to bring up his "improved / upgraded" perspective on force & finally finishing kick from behind to ballz of Sidious - Essence Transfer, near perfect string of epic failure(s) if compared to Vitiate / Valkorion comfortably "sitting" in multiple "hosts" at once. N.B....to top it off - he (Vitiate) made Lord Scourge immortal, like properly immortal - no essence transfer, tho it's been said that it hurts like double drop kick to ballz... OK, enough x]

@@ronjon7942 I'm happy that someone shares similar perspective - also Rule Of Two S-Lords mostly killed their superiors via some "underhanded" method - like Plagues with collapse of cortosis mine on his "sole engineering boss" or take Sidious himself - "Strongest etc." Sith Lord had to wait for his master to get drunk & sleepy to electrocute "that annoying fool", tho 20 years without sleep would mess anyone up regardless of degree of force sensitivity. Even Kylo Ren (Sir Blaster Bolt Force Freezer) waited for Snoke to get high from his own gloating to puncture his gut - slim chance that it was caused by Sidious to get things moving towards his date on Exegol. N.B. ....hmmmm....consider Vaylin (who don't know - Valkorion's daughter), Sith Emperor was worried enough of her raw, unrefined force power & potential that he deemed necessary to put her through conditioning just to keep her in check. I'll skip Bedlum Spirits since none is remotely close to them in any way - Luke, Anakin (roasted you are not anymore), Abaloth (~x12 times stronger than EU Luke, stated by himself).
