Any ideas on the trailer and how it will relate to storyline?

It could well be irrelevant, and was just made to showcase how it will be bigger and better than the last game, Starkiller not Dead, 2 lightsabers, Rancor as Prey. I still stick by my idea that he is far outside the jurisdiction of the Empire, and Slavers/Scoundrels bought him there after finding his damaged body, and he his paying them back by being the attraction at some underhanded Freak show.

Ok, I'm completely lost. If they make a FU2, they should make it based on Juno Eclipse's force sensitive bro or something! I duno!

Yeah i agree. I like your idea though on the scoundrel part where they buy him and stuff. Im defintely excited for a new force unleashed im just so puzzled at how they're going to do it since he died, but at the same time im not. Cuz i know FU2 will probably start off with where you ended on the first game and somehow he miraculously survives but thats cool though cuz it works; they can make it work somehow.

True, maybe they reprogrammed his mind to serve the empire and he has to find the secrets of his past. Then he keeps remembering a haunting voice of some woman he's never met and he vows to travel to the ends of the Earth to find out.

What people should wonder is how Yoda could play a role in this game. I have a hard time believing that his voice was thrown in there for spite, so I think there is a reason, especially if you listen to the words Yoda uses.

Could it be possible that Starkiller goes to Dagobah to meet Yoda? If so, what happens? Could Yoda tell Starkiller that it was the right thing not to kill the Emperor as it would have been in anger and his power and anger would have been bad for the galaxy. Maybe Yoda tells Starkiller that he needs to let go of his anger before ever confronting the Sith again or he'll become an agent of evil again. Could that be a reason why Starkiller doesn't play a role in the original trilogy?

Then what types of missions will Starkiller do? Where does he visit? If Dagobah is one of the places he visits, is one of the levels he does a test Yoda puts him through. Will he have a lightsaber duel with a vision like Luke did? Does he avoid Juno or try to find her? What about Kota? Does he try to find him or avoid him as well? Will we see Vader or Sidious in this game? What will Starkiller's fate be?

I have yet to really see that type of talk from anybody. It's mostly been how Starkiller is still alive and is he now a clone or not. I understand that is a big thing in our minds, but there are other factors here too and they're hinted in the trailer.

O heck yeah bro i totally agree with you on that. Yoda should definitely have a role in the game fersure. I have been watching the trailer over and over again to try to interpret what yoda and vader are saying and how yoda will be in the game. Dude start a new forum about your stuff you definitely know what your talking about and i completely agree with you.

I hope that you start the game at about how powerful you are in the Tatooine and Hoth levels of TFU 1 at the beginning of TFU 2, then you progress more and more...And more...

What we do know is that during this time Yoda can communicate with Qui Gon's Force ghost. Yoda can also feel events through the Force seen in Revenge of the Sith.

With Starkiller we do know he is very strong in the Force naturally..so lets say he has a hard time letting go of love ones like Juno and his life he could try to reconnect with his body even though he is dead.

This would mean we see the after life realm and he would come out of a grave which would be placed in a hidden world.

This would be a rebirth of Starkiller. As Darth Vader was once his master and mentor I believe Yoda might end up fitting this role. We can see how Starkiller deals with Yoda's teachings.

I do believe that his love for Juno will bring him back to the world of the living but I think she will end up dieing before they meet. This would cause issues with Starkiller's emotions.

They will also need to introduce another threat. It can't be the same Vader and Emperor since it will feel like a repeat.

I'm sure the Rebellion will be included in the story.

Like many here the setting might be set at the edges of the Galaxy and into worlds that are not ruled by the Empire.

It will be interesting to see what they will do.....

Maybe its a force sensitive clone of Galen Marek, because according to the TFU 1st game, we only knew of him living with his Father Kento who was Killed by Darth Vader.

QFT I think that Yoda is going to be a key character...

Here are the quotes from Yoda (in order):
"Death is a natural part of life."
"Let go of everything you fear to loose, you must."
"Uncertain and fearful, you are."
"Confused, you have become."
"Hide not, from yourself."
"Confront your fear."

To me, this sounds a bit like jedi training/instruction. Then if you look at Darth Vader's quotes (didn't supply them sorry) it seems like he will go through some sort of inner-conflict (tug of war between light and dark side; notice his swaying back and forth between each quote).

Then what types of missions will Starkiller do? Where does he visit? If Dagobah is one of the places he visits, is one of the levels he does a test Yoda puts him through. (1) Will he have a lightsaber duel with a vision like Luke did? Does he avoid Juno or try to find her? What about Kota? Does he try to find him or avoid him as well? (2) Will we see Vader or Sidious in this game? What will Starkiller's fate be?

(1) I am seeing a battle like in Betrayal
The force phantoms created by Lumiya; maybe they would be made by Yoda. I really have no idea, they could be visions or phantoms.
But he has had vision battles before so it is up in the air (I have been having crazy scenario dreams about what might happen in the game).

(2)I think Vader will almost definitely be in the game, considering the quotes. Sidious? eh maybe, maybe not (still up in the air)...

On another note, Juno seems to be the calming voice in his mind. I think he tries to find her, but he "knows" that he must let her go (as Yoda says). Starkiller may almost find her but something happens that makes him think that he needs to let her go (for the time being, idk a possibility).

Additionally, I think that the trailer may not be at the beginning but maybe at the end of TFU II, which could be why he is not in the OT. He might go into some sort of self-exile that sends him to the unknown regions of space.

Yeah i agree i think yoda will play a huge role in the game. Its pretty cool. And yeah i think he will go through inner conflict and definitely hell see juno again. But yoda being in the game...........Dude thats so awesome.

.............. :dozey:

I don't know why you came up with that. Okay, the Amnesia thing is fine, but relating Galen Marek to Darth Revan? Hell no! Galen and Revan are two entirely different people. I don't know how you came up with that. I know you like Revan Charlton, but not everything has to have some reference to Kotor Characters

No, no, no! You've got it all wrong. What I mean is that he has amnesia like revan! He's not related to him! I'm just saying, amnesia isn't uncommon in SW! I was using Rev. as a example.

Yes, instead of starting the game weak, like TFU 1. It would be rediculous to start over again.

Agreed very rediculous. It would also be repetive. It would be a copy of the same story(kotor) put into TFU2. Very repetive and no new idea. Very unappealing to fans.

you say very too much :xp:

But, what could you learn if you started from a high level. In the end that was pretty much everything. Unless they follow another character's story. The only way would probably to be like Galen's Follower/Apprentice. Or you could just play the game as Galen's GF

Wow really? Sexist? I just think the fans would rather PLAY as starkiller not juno that doesnt mean im sexist. I dont want to argue so lets just drop it. I think ur co op idea is awesome though that would actually be really cool.

Caught the trailer by chance on youtube. It looks nice, but it's supposed to of course. Very nice animation. I'm suprised to see Starkiller return. I don't care how he's back, maybe he'll prove that being struck down can make a jedi more powerful than anyone could imagine.

I don't care about the story at this point. The devs had better step up for this. TFU was nowhere near as fun as it should have been; glitchy and jittery. The moves never felt fluid enough, and it was a short and pretty repetitive game too. Wolverine was a similar but had much more satisfying combat, if TFU2 can improve on this I'd be very happy.

Hoping for more ridiculous powers and combos, as well as plenty of interesting planets and villains. They need to get more use out of those beautiful environmental elements. Lets get destroying loads of pretty glass and wooden structures. Co-op would be awesome.

Since when was Juno Eclipse force sencitive. The trailer is final, Starkiller is returning and we can't do anything about it.

We don't know if she was Force Sensitive or not, since nothing has determined that. The Trailer also may have been misleading, Galen could have been the main character, but Juno could have as well, or maybe a playable character too. that would be nice, or even PROXY! :D

I agree that would be cool if you could do that but i think they want the main focus on starkiller and that i think would be best. The story revolves around him and his destiny. Maybe throw in a level or two where u r juno or proxy but thats it. The main portion should be all starkiller.
