TFU novelization

Once he gets uber --> Once he goes light? How much time passes during this story, from the initial mission to Starkiller's death?

Oh ok, did you get my PM btw?

I didn't, no.

And at least six months pass. Guessing? I'm going to say a full fiscal year.

Starkiller? That was Luke's original last name...wow this story is so original. I have heard the book is pretty bad.

HOLY SHIZNIZZLEWIZZLE. SPOILER ALERT, regarding the DARK SIDE ENDING for TFU!

Spoiler:
Upon defeating Darth Vader in the Emperor's observation tower, Palpatine -- as previously explained in the novelization and comic -- demands that you slay Vader and take his place at the Emperor's side. General Kota attempts to interfere, but is subdued by the Dark Lord. You are given a choice: you can either save Kota from Palpatine or finish off Darth Vader. Should you move towards Vader, you will begin a second duel with him, and it ends with you impaling Vader with both your lightsaber and his own. Palpatine congratulates Starkiller, gives him the same speech (rehashed) that he gave Anakin Skywalker regarding how powerful he is, how powerful he will become, and what he has to do to cement his place: he must kill Kota. Starkiller feigns an attack at Kota, but redirects it at the last moment to attack the Emperor, who blocks it with his own lightsaber. Informing Starkiller that he has made "a huge mistake", Palpatine electrocutes Starkiller into submission and then seemingly destroys General Kota and the remaining Senators before dropping a ship down on Starkiller. When he reawakens, Starkiller is lying in a Vader-esque laboratory, rebuilt in an intimidating manner -- mask and clawed hands -- where Palpatine tells him that he's too powerful for the Emperor to waste. He is informed that he now exists to do the Emperor's bidding. The final shot is Starkiller screaming into his mask, trapped forever in Palpatine's thrall, a second Vader. Cue credits.

HOLY SHIT, thats fckin awesome.

Now that would be

Spoiler:
Vaders little brother

I must say...that is pretty cool.

Awesome in fact. Props to the author. That is so cool man! *claps*

This is another example of some good EU.

Now i am really starting to like starkiller/galen marek.

but when you look at the canon novelization it's crap IMO.

Yes, very crap.

But the DS ending still showed that vader, despite getting beaten was still able to engage in another duel.

Now, if SW went the TFU DS way, i doubt luke would had been a jedi and the galaxy is forever in darkness.

Its funny they made

Spoiler:
Darth Vader 2.0

my only problem with the novel is that it is written too much like a video game really: First they go here, then they go there, then they kill this guy: its not really good writing, its just nonstop action scenes that we don't get a good grasp on why. Him killing the one "jedi master" on the garbage planet was, i'm sorry, just dumb. Especially since vader told him he didn't expect him to survive because of htis guys supposed "power"

I just love the ending part. I never read any of the novel though.

Holy. F*cking. Shit.

All problems I had with the storyline can be shattered due to this awesome, awesome ending.

Yes, and what would even be more awesome is that vader and starkiller(with his vader2.0 suit) ruling the galaxy together, 2 masked sith lords = uber l333t force.

I think that the point of the Force Unleashed is as they said in a commentary. You have the Force as it hasn't been seen before, but every other Jedi, and Sith you face, also have unleashed the force. So, the Apprentice, would you say he's up there with luminaries like Yoda, Mace, Obi-Wan; the hard ballers of the Clone Wars

The 2.0 suit wasn't really a spoiler... it was already shown several times on wookiepedia and wiki.

And in that one sentence, nothing much has been spoiled.

Some people enjoy not reading spoilers, S. And know, I'm fairly certain I have the gist of what happens.

You have failed me for the last time. *chokes*

People, I have ground-breaking news!

Well, not really groundbreaking, but the first TFU reviews are out. I'm disappointed. So far, it's got reviews that are 'just' positive.

Still, it's only a few reviews. I hope it ends with a higher rank.
