From a technical standpoint, what LucasArts achieved with The Force Unleashed was fairly unprecedented. It predates Batman: Arkham Asylum , another massively influential licensed game, by a year. But The Force Unleashed was a special project. It benefitted from nearly three and a half years of production, if you include the conceptual stages, and marked the first time that LucasArts and ILM were able to collaborate under the same roof, at the Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco.
It shipped with a Skywalker Symphony Orchestra score by Mark Griskey, along with a main theme composed by music supervisor Jesse Harlin. It featured a top-notch cast of actors. The game was even given a full merchandising rollout, with its own toy line, a book adaptation, and a graphic novel by Blackman and artists Brian Ching, Bong Dazo, and Wayne Nichols.
Newer and younger gamers got to experience similar fanfare, with the newly revived Star Wars Battlefront series. According to Witwer, audio lead David W. The project was created with the direct input and guidance of Star Wars creator George Lucas.
Similar to Shadows of the Empire over a decade earlier and Clone Wars a few years earlier, it features products across different lines, all covering the same story. This includes two games, a game guide , a novel , a graphic novel , a toy line , a reference book , a Miniatures set , and a roleplaying-game supplement. The video game, as well as an accompanying novel and graphic novel , were all released in October This article or section needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of article quality.

At the beginning of the game, Darth Vader led the forces of the Galactic Empire against the revolting Wookiees on Kashyyyk , searching for a Jedi Knight that Vader had sensed.
After finding and murdering the Jedi, Vader discovers his Force-sensitive son young Starkiller , choosing him as his apprentice. Vader dispatches Starkiller to eliminate several Jedi who survived Order His first target is General Rahm Kota , who used a private militia instead of clones and thus survived Order After defeating a large number of both militia and stormtroopers alike, Starkiller finds the general, and defeats him in a fierce saber duel. However, as he is about to be executed, Kota predicts that Vader won't always be Starkiller's master, and that someday Kota will be instead.
Starkiller casts Kota out of the burning space station and leaves, taking Kota's lightsaber as proof of his defeat and apparent death. Vader, still not convinced of Starkiller's ability, turns him loose on the junk world Raxus Prime , where he hunts down an insane Jedi Master who has constructed an army of junk monsters and titans.
Destroying these with his new-found Force lightning abilities and killing a large number of scavengers in the process, Starkiller ascends an enormous junk tower to find the Jedi Master Kazdan Paratus talking to junk statues of the Jedi Council, saying he will defend them against this "Sith trash.
Instead the Dark Lord orders his apprentice to undertake one final test before he can fulfill his destiny, sending Starkiller to hunt and kill former Jedi Council Member Shaak Ti. This third test takes place on the world of Felucia , a gargantuan landscape dominated by enormous mushrooms, plants and the mouth of the oldest living Sarlacc. After fighting his way past Felucian natives trained by Master Shaak Ti, Starkiller makes his way past rancors and the occasional shaman to the mouth of the Sarlacc, making use of his newly discovered repulse abilities.
There he encounters the Jedi in question and defeats both her, her Felucian allies, and the Sarlacc itself. Returning with another lightsaber to add to his collection and Shaak Ti's ominous final words "The Sith always betray one another, given time. Vader tells him they will now face Emperor Palpatine, who has just arrived.
This turns out to be a trap, as it is quickly revealed that Palpatine knows all about Vader's "secret" apprentice. The Emperor orders Vader to kill the young Sith to prove his loyalty, and Vader apparently does so; after impaling Starkiller on his lightsaber, Vader throws him around the room and then blasts him through a window into space. Apparently dead, Starkiller's body is recovered by a medical droid shortly after the incident.
