The Force Unleashed II

We all knew Galen was a friggen beast of the Force, but this is just making him nearly more powerful than Sidious. Will he kill Vader in the end instead of the alternate ending in TFU or both Vader and Sidious? Will he train Luke or Yoda? Will he become stronger than Luke? We'll just have to see.

I doubt he'll train Yoda...

My apologies . . . I meant would he be the one to restore the Jedi Order? IMO, he is more like a Jedi of The Old Republic and I'm not talking during the Clone Wars era. I'm thinking of the Mandalorian Wars and the Great Sith War.

I can't think of a Sith or Jedi that can beat him. If he is this powerful as shown in the game trailer, than who exactly can stop him? Obi-Wan wouldn't have needed to send Luke to Yoda . . . Galen would be able to train him on Yavin and other places.

To be fair, he is only fighting mooks.

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.

I have a problem with someone who had regular force sensitive parents having the same potential as one who's father was the embodiment of the force.

what he did to those clone-troopers was something we haven't seen from anyone else though,

Stormtroopers, dude.

you say potato, Quayle says potatoe...

Alligator-crocodile.

People have been disintegrating stuff for ages, Sidious, Bane, Zannah etc. According to wookie theres the attack 'Force Destruction' that is described as vaporising opponents. This really wasn't that much new.

Except not really, because as far as I know we've yet to actually see it be done to someone in a quantifiable manner (I.E. the attack being carried about can be displayed to us with a quote or on-screen or something).

The concept of "well anyone can do it" doesn't mean much unless we've actually seen them do it.

Personally, until I read a quote or see a video that shows someone else waving their hand and watching someone's entire body unravel into dust before my eyes, I'm going to just assume that Galen is for all intents and purposes numero uno when it comes to force combat.

First with have galen marek, now we have an unknown female jedi that let out a massive force wave that destroys entire enviornments and blocks saber strikes with her bare hands.

SW is getting more and more ridiculous. Next thing we know galen marek is actually darth bane.

'It happened so quickly Bane never even had a chance to put up his guard . . . but the attack wasn't directed at him. The right hand of the boy she had called Tomcat- her cousin and childhood friend- disintegrated. With a mere thought she obliterated everything below his wrist: flesh, bone and tendon vanished in a bloody explosion, leaving only a ragged stump.'

'Bane thrust out with the Force, and a dozen of the oncoming creatures exploded into dust and tiny flecks of small, twisted metal.'

'That enemy vanquished, he used the Force to disintegrate two more advancing technobeasts,' -ROT

Bane and Zannah've done it at least.

Does the novel take precedence over the comic or vice-versa? Because in the comic Tomcat's arm explodes at the wrist.

I think books take precedence over comics as higher form of canon. The Force Unleashed book is held over its comic form for instance.

You guys are forgetting one thing though:

Our center of worship just happens to be the article of the day.

The idea that having the last name Skywalker makes you uber is probably embodies retardation better than anything else, IMHO.

Luke can be still powerful in the Force, but he's not as (nor should he be) Anakin's level in potential. He's not the Chosen One, so there's no reason for him to be.

Yes that is definitely an issue. This just demonstrates Lucas cares more about making money than leaving a worthy and consistent legacy behind him (not that I blame him, he's worth a couple billion, give or take).

The ironic twist from which he benefits is, that even though he may alienate a lot of die-hard SW fans because Marek may be on par or even better than Skywalker, those same fans will buy the game anyway.
