So after spend 45 minutes watching the new trailer over an over again, I came with some ideas for this game plot to make any kind of sense and make it more interesting:
 

• This Starkiller is a clone of the one in TFU
• The game is in the future year after The Return of The Jedi.
• He´s confused and he´s trying to kill the new order of the jedi.
• We will see fights against Luke, han solo and his sons.

"
I'm not sure how I feel about this game really.  I enjoyed the first one, but I choose to become a good guy at the end, so they killed me.  I'm not sure if that means this is continuing the idea of him being evil and controlling the galaxy or if this is like an alternate reality where he didn't die there and he helps the Rebels fight the Empire.  Really what I'm hoping for is that he didn't actually die there at the end, maybe they will pick it up right at the end there, and he escapes.  Honestly I enjoyed the first one, but I think I'd rather them have used the same ideas with a new character. "

" Eh, force unleashed is alright, but i want a combo of jedi knight and FU.  Meaning I would like deeper lightsaber combat and not playing hack and slash with a lightsaber. "

Well Vader resurrected Starkiller once, maybe he can do it again?

I just think that its a resurrected version of Starkiller sent to an arena place to fight monsters for other peoples entertainment 
 
And that it still takes place before the original trilogy

Honestly, I have no idea how Lucasarts will handle this story.

Well, when Vader "killed" him, he did so that he didn't miss any vital organs, he just made him unconscious and passed him off as dead. But the other time, it was the Emperor that outright killed him. No way he survived that. "

Here's what I got from the trailer: 

• It's Starkiller in some fashion
• There's an internal conflict between the light and dark side of the Force
• Yoda will be in the game in some fashion as an NPC
• Starkiller doesn't have that sweet claw that he had in the Tatooine Mission Pack (/cry)
• You can use dual wield lightsabers (/badass)
• It's coming out next year

Is there a cannon of things that take plaza after the movies? I had allways heard that Lucas was set on the end of Return of the Jedi acting as the end of the Star Wars sega.

I don't know about that, getting impaled in the gut would hit some organs, and the dude was thrown out into space. And he def. was not just unconscious, Starkiller specifically says that vader killed him. He was dead, and then Vader used some fancy sith  alchemy and brought him back to life. "

I didn't know what to think of it either, but I'm way excited either way.

It's interesting that this takes place after Return of the Jedi. But how do we know this is a clone? I know he's supposed to be dead, but you know how characters seem to magically reappear for sequels.

What's all this talk about this game being post-Return of the Jedi?  Where the hell are people getting this from?  Can I get some sources?  I'm not that well versed in the Expanded Universe, so I'd like to know what the fuck is going on here!!!

TFU2? Sweet, liked the lightsaber and force mechanics (my god the force is beyond rad). Methinks they'll fix the issues the first game had and end up with a good all round game. (like AC2 did). However a BattleFront 3...

I just hope this game better then the first one.  I really didn't care for the first one.

Wait, how could it take place after Return of the Jedi?  Yoda and Vader would both be dead.  Even if they both used the ghost form thing to talk to Starkiller, Vader wouldn't be evil at that point. "

Maybe after TFU Vader and the Emperor said,"Uhh....dump the body into the morgue" and he somehow lived?  Or maybe Vader resurrected him again..

" Lucasarts says its still inbetween 3 and 4 "

I don't think he's a clone or anything like that, I think he was just able to survive the explosion. 

Frankly, I felt the games ending was attrocious.. they obviously wanted a way to explain his absence in the original SW trilogy, and ran out of development time to give a decent explanation, so simply chose to randomly blow him up.  Considering he was strong enough to take out Vader and even hold his own against the Emperor, why was he "killed" when neither of them were even scratched?  I don't think it's too much of a stretch to assume he also survived it.  
 
Hhe didn't exactly look at 100% in the trailer, he was staggering about the hall quite a bit and seem to be struggling to control his powers.  Seems the concept of the game is deciding between the dark (Vader) and the light (Yoda).  Besides the story, I was thoroughly unimpressed by the game..  But I'm willing to give this one a chance.  Let's spend some more time working on the actual gameplay mechanics and not take so many shortcuts with the plot, and perhaps we could have a truely AAA game on our hands.

Personally, all of that + "yes, we'll have better controls now that we've learned from our mistakes on the first game" will = jizz in my pants.

Here's an idea, its part of the new Star Wars universe so its shitty and it doesn't need a reason to be shitty. They wanted a sequel, so the narrow timeline between unimportant event x that preludes the good movies and unimportant even y that preludes the good movie got a new game. Hey as long as the ass fiction doesn't seep into the good movie timeline I'm fine.

well, we never actually see Yoda or Vader. Maybe he is confused about which side he's on, and Yoda and Vader are just a representation of both sides. "

Or maybe omg moral choices are a fad that every game that's a result of market research and a complete lack of passion just needs to have now. I bet they find a way to make him shoot and take cover. "

He is a clone because when you take the good path he dies. The clone must have been awaken when the original died. I think I know what Happens Do any of you remember the betrayal? If you do you know what I am talking about, if you don't you need to pick up the game before you play the 2nd in 2010. Back to the subject, Darth vader stabs Starkiller etc, he dies, He wakes up in a Cloud city facility etc. Darth vader must have cloned him when he was dead, that must be what happened. And now the Clone is probably trying to full fill the old mission or he might be looking for a thrill. Becoming some deathmatch fighter. Or he might be a bounty hunter.

I thought the Cloning program got cancelled and they never understood how to clone the 'Force-ness' of Jedis?

I didn't like the first Force Unleashed, but I at least kind of appreciated what it did with its story and characters. This just looks a cash-grab from EA.

Yes in Kamino, but the empire hired new cloner  company or something like that. And there was a clon of Darth Maul and one of Palpatine. "

Oh yea. I remember that. The damn Expanded Universe. "

He seriously better not be a clone.  If he is, I really have no idea how they're going to explain it in a way that is going to be at all satisfying or in-line with the better-than-decent story told in the first game.

Well i think Starkiller survived the explosion on the deathstar because in TFU II trailer you can hear Juno saying "will i ever see you again" from TFU, so i doubt he is the clone unless he has all the memories the original Starkiller had, and you can also hear Vader saying "foolishly you hold to hope for the life you once had" so i dont know... just my 2 cents. Excuse my english please.
