Well guys, I just got done beating The Force Unleashed II today on the Light Side ending and I couldn't help but wondering if they're going to make a third one.
The ending of TFU II (Light Side) shows Boba Fett going after Juno and Starkiller, this to me appears to be a setup for a third. What do you guys think?
I certainly hope so since I thoroughly enjoyed BOTH The Force Unleashed games.

Vader was captured, Marek's fate undetermined, and Boba's on their tail... why the hell wouldn't there be a third game for LucasArts to f*ck up and make money off?

The gameplay was great. The story was awful. And short.

You actually liked that two-bit, shotty, unoriginal, boring, rushed, blatantly money-grabbing piece of crap storyline?

You no good, Canadian sumbitch. You watch your mouth.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Yes, I did. I thought it was a dark, clever plotline that explored heretofore unknown elements of Star Wars and made a badass out of Darth Vader. Parts of it were lacking, but I liked the diversity.
The first game, maybe. The second? They rehashed the same concept, brought back all the same players, and involved Boba Fett and Yoda for absolutely no reason. They also make Vader out to be the biggest retard since Jar Jar:
"Marek betrayed me rather quickly before, so let's clone him, give it the exact same memory and experience as the original and let him loose! Then when he escapes, let's lure him back here so he can beat me again! And to hell with the fact that the Rebellion now knows where our secret cloning facility is. I also know Rahm Kota is being held captive on Cato Neimodia, so let's not phone ahead to have him executed, thereby preventing Starkiller's clone from teaming up with the same Jedi that helped turn him against me in the first place. Alright? Break!"
The story is bad. The dialogue is trite and hackneyed, and the concept uninspiring and unoriginal.

Yes I have. I've played through that game four times, and only to get the Achievements (yeah, the game's that pathetically short). The Dark Side ending was the one saving grace. Made Vader look like it was all a big setup to lure the Rebel fleet to Kamino to be destroyed and tie up loose ends.
Shame it's the non-canon ending.

How is it relevant that the only piece of decent story takes place in a two minute span in a section of the game that's not part of Star Wars canon?
It's not relevant at all.

All that that means is that Starkiller wasn't stabbed in the back by Starkiller's second clone, not that that clone doesn't exist and not that the whole thing wasn't a set-up by Vader.
The bonus 'cutscenes' in the game lend credence to it.
Edit: Remember, Lucien, that the clone is ordered to strike only if Starkiller moves to kill Vader.
Yeah, and in that two-second window of opportunity, the Dark Clone materializes out of nowhere. I mean, if he was there the whole time, he'd be visible in the Light side ending too, seen skulking a few feet behind Starkiller and a few feet directly in front of Kota's men. Totally makes sense.
Course any follow-up story that follows the Light path that involves the Dark clone only further f*cks up an already ridiculous plot.

So he was. Goddamn Vader's smart in the Dark ending.
