Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, which turns 15 this weekend, sums up a ridiculous era of Star Wars that ended when Disney bought it.
Like many children at the age of seven, I loved Star Wars. I’d seen all the movies, owned several LEGO sets and owned several tie-in games. Star Wars has always had a bit of an absurd streak, but the most ridiculous Star Wars thing I owned was a Wii game calledwas a multimedia project consisting of novels, comic books, and a tabletop book, with videogames at the center.
The plot claims to be a story about Vader’s secret apprentice, but it exists to reveal why the Rebel Alliance uses the logo it does . It’s certainly not the strangest piece of Star Wars lore, but it is wholly unnecessary. It has the same problem the admittedly non-canonstory has. That story exists to explain that Luke meeting R2-D2 was a bit of a prophecy set up by a Force-sensitive droid. As supplemental material, it doesn’t recontextualize the movies in a meaningful way.
As a kid, I thought Starkiller was the coolest dude in existence. I mean, he pulls down a Star Destroyer with just his Force alone. He goes around hunting down Jedi! Most of all, I felt like a god swinging my Wii remote and nunchuck with reckless abandon as I sent out giant waves of Force energy. It was unwieldy at times, but the catharsis of dragging an enemy and dropping them into a Sarlacc pit with the Force was an unrivaled source of dopamine as a kid.
