The Force Unleashed II

Like I said, going by feats and actual application he's pretty damn close to 1. I could see him handing Sideous his ass a healthy amount of times out of 10. 😬

All I can say is that IF Galen is in fact more skilled/powerful now, then he was during TFU I (which seems to be the case), I could easily see him doing better against Sidious then anyone else (sans perhaps Mace.)

What a stupid plot.

I think G. Lucas has inadvertently created a dilemma due to his greed to poop out video games. The great tragedy of the TFU franchise and Galen Marek is that he AND whatever clones of him exist will all have to be killed off before Episode IV, and even if he defeats Sidious again in TFU II, somehow, he will have to lose or die...

Because if he somehow does survive into the timeline of the Classic Trilogy, then Where the F*** is he during those three movies. There's no way a Force user of his caliber (if he was alive) would just sit on the sidelines during the events that took place during Ep. IV-VI. Of course other folks remained hidden, right? Abeloth, Darth Krayt (but I haven't seen either of those folks do what Galen did in that trailer).

George Lucas inadvertently created a dilemma as soon as he was allowed free reign to do with his creation as he wished.

A Marek clone is going to survive and wind up re-awakening from cryo-sleep just after the events of the Legacy era. Nah f*ck that, he'll be sent back in time by Abeloth to found the Jedi Order.

Not only that, Galen Marek actually surpassed Caedus in Flow-walking, and broke through the bubble to arrive in Tatooine circa 40-45 years before Ep IV. As it turns out, Marek met Shmi Skywalker on the wrong side of Mos Eisley, and is actually....get this....Anakin Skywalker's father.

Now THAT would explain where the Skywalker bloodline got its power.

Maybe... but that's far too bland for LucasArts. How 'bout if it turns out that Kento Marek is actually Cliegg Lars. And Galen is actually the child of Owen and Beru that they gave to their secret Jedi father to be trained away from that crazy Anakin.

Maybe he Flow Walks and becomes Sidious's Master.

Maybe he flow walks his essence INTO sidious, and IS sidious in episode 5 and 6.

Maybe we get to find out what really happened with Jacen during his journey. Turns out he went back in time and pretended to be Darth Vader in order to get the Marek clones to bring about the end of the Empire.

ohhhh, i like that. I think maybe he(Caedus) CREATED Anakin Solo out of Galen Marek DNA, in order to get him to die to the Vong, so that he could successfully turn Tahiri in order to get her to kill Paelleon.

Paellon was the long-term goal.

George Lucas can still redeem himself. He simply has to allow a storyline where Luke Skwyalker uses some kind of Force-Unleashed-esque bubble, and incinerate not stormtroopers, but DOZENS of Sith Lords.

I think that is the only he could ever restore balance to the Force.

It's not even George Lucas. I bet you that he barely even skimmed the script for this game before approving it, and we all know he doesn't give a shit about EU or about continuity. Hell, I probably wouldn't; **** the hardcore fans.

Newsflash: Marek is Bane, come at last to challenge Sidious after eons accruing strength via the Essence transfer. Abeloth is Zannah's portion of that consciousness, ditched as a burden on [whatever planet that was] after developing weaknesses--this time after encouraging (encouraging!) a cult of Set Harth's disciples to teach the technique to shape shifters, providing the galaxy with immortal Force Users that can literally be anyone--and will be the reason that MarekBane turns once again towards the light (she will long have since assimilated Juno) only to fall once more after his inevitable betrayal/failure. (This relies on the assumption that Bane, like the ineffable Revan, has learned the great Darth Bandon's technique of pushing subordinates into consoles without turning to the Dark Side.)

That's probably the most plausible of options.

Spoiler:
Bandon

Marek is supposed to be a "what if" scenario: what if Luke Skywalker had been raised by the Sith?

It's not so difficult to imagine that he's Skywalker-class in terms of potential and aptitude. I'd say he's easily on par with Caedus or Luke himself in terms of potential.

Is Galen light or dark side in this game?

I suppose he'll be on the light side, hence the blue sabers... But he's more of a grey Jedi actually, balancing between both sides in my honest opinion.
