- In 2008, a game was released which encompassed a single philosophy espoused by its developers - "Kick someone's butt with The Force".
That game was titled "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed", and it would go on to be a financial success, selling over seven million copies to date, and has a lasting legacy with Star Wars fans the world over.
Now, more than fifteen years later, we will take the time to thoroughly analyze this game, from its mechanics to its narrative, and see exactly how this hack & slash power fantasy holds up so many years later.

Over half way through and just realized how small your channel is, that's crazy! This is the type of quality i expect from channels magnitudes larger, we should watch your career with great interest.
Highly underrated channel
This brought back so many fond memories for me, one of my favorite games of all time. Thank you so much for making this video.
This is absolutely incredible, put this on while sick and everything made perfect sense despite my mind being in the abyss, freaking loved it man, hope you come out with more!
Man what a great video I put this on to listen to at work and was pretty shocked at the subscriber count. The amount of time and effort that went into this will take you far. Great work bro!
We all have to start somewhere. Thank you for the watch and kind words :)
Like how the tangent about leveling at 29 mins just describes kotor skill tree
tru
Starting your channel with a banger I see.
Backwards lightsaber is still cool!
It’s interesting how in the main version of the game the line delivery for the “drown in some cantina” line is so hopeful, compared to the Krome version where Starkiller sounds like he couldn’t care less.
- Also, side note, as a sequels fan, I appreciate your negativity about them being genuine criticism, not mindless hate.
Really nice vid bro. Crazy that this is your first video. keep up the great work!
I finished the video. I loved the formar. Your voice is good and you way to speak is good. Keep going, bro! I wait for the next video
Thank you for watching! Will do!
About a third of the way through. I’m really glad to see someone going in depth on this game. It’s definitely a great one, but also has some glaring flaws. I personally have yet to replay it, and prefer the Wii version I had first. Although, that version has its own flaws for sure. I’d honestly love if you were willing to do a video like this on that version as well, since I think there’s a very different feel to the whole game, likely a result of a different team and different limitations and freedoms. Would definitely say I prefer the bosses and QTEs of that version, as well as some of the added events(even if the Jedi Temple missions make no sense). Would that be something you’re willing to do, out of curiosity? Either way, I love this video.
Maybe someday but unlikely anytime soon. I have a list of games I'm going through.
@@KateriYT Fair. Great video either way.
Awesome video dude
I love this video and we will be watching your career with great interest
SWFU is peak Videogame!!
Subbed, look forward to more
I’m really sad, I got mostly through this game, to the star destroyer part where janky controls had me a minor bit stuck and my Xbox broke
I think it might be breaking the glass causes the gas to start but that's my best guess and proxy is a Droid that's not living until Disney decided they're Alive and secretly want free does anyone remember solo
Subbed for backwards lightsaber
Just curious, are playing this on the Xbox 360? I’ve only ever play The Force Unleashed on the Wii and it looks quite a bit different
If I Continued This To Force Unleashed 3.
I'll Embrace The Fact That These two games aren't Canon.
More Creative Freedom for Me.
It Take Place after The Sith Ending of This game, and It's Sith Hoth DLC.
As an Opening:
Sideous, after Learning Of Luke Sky walker's Capture,
Makes Starkiller and Luke, (assumed to Be turned Fully under The Dark side)
And Forces them to Duke it Out,
In order to Serve the Rule of 2.
The Beginning of The Game is a Tutorial Boss Fight with Dark Side Luke.
We Defeat Luke Enough,
where cutscene plays out Like The Button Prompt of the end of the Bosses of The First Game.
But instead of constantly Pressing Buttons During The Cutscene,
You Just get the Pleasure of Watching Luke and Galen Merrick Slashing Lightsabers in such a Fast Flurry,
That Sparks Come Flying out Like Rain.
They Do that Until They Stike each other Back at Opposite ends of The Room,
Then Sprint at Full Speed To Lock Blades Right infront of The Emperor,
Whos Enjoying this with Twisted Enjoyment.
Galen and Luke Charge Purple and Red Lightning into Their Blades that are Pushing against each other.
Then, With The Might of The Two Warriors,
They Channel all that Energy,
And Unleash it at Palpetine.
But The Emperor, Predicting This,
Force Pushes That Energy away,
It's You and Luke VS Emperor Palpetine, The TRUE first Boss,
With The Emperor Weilding
His Iconic 2 Lightsabers from that Fight against Darth Maul and his Brother.
The Fight Leads to a Knocked out Luke, and Starkiller Force Pulls Luke's Lightsaber to his Free hand to Block The Force Lightning from Sidieous.
Galen, Being Weakened without The Sith Holocron inside his Back.
Almost Loses,
But Then Darth VADER comes Back as Force Ghost to Help Save his Son.
And it Plays out like Mace windu Blocking Force Lightning from Revenge of The Sith.
In The Emperor's Last Moments, Realizing his Position.
Accepts his Fate and Dies.
Leaving Starkiller as The Emperor's Successor.
Great video I don't like this game I wish it was just Vader hunting Jedi as a game like the purge comics Starkiller is just too much for me especially him beating Vader in both games plus the story as you've pointed has so many problems. Nice to see another Mauler fan long live the longman.
I subscribed
Sub count does not match quality gj
Darth Vader unfortunately did same thing
Time for Disney to remaster this as “The Thread Unleashed” with the main character genderswapped to female 🤣
Would you wanna do a collaborative video together
I appreciate the offer but I'm committed to working on my own for the time being. Thank you for asking and watching though!
@@KateriYT your welcome
Dude never played Jedi Power Battles or Kotor
Kotor is GOATed
