Added DiffLines:

** There are some differences there though and almost all of it can be tied to one thing - the cutscenes. The things that Starkiller does in the cutscenes far and away outshines anything that Revan, the Exile or even Kyle Katarn do in their games. Plus Revan and the Exile aren't a fair comparison as those guys had the assistance of an entire squad of allies to help them through the massive amounts of crap they went through. Katarn may be a bit fairer of a comparison but we first met him as a snarky guy with a gun and no force powers so he built a fanbase first. The Apprentice just goes a bit too far into the OMG territory for some people (not me). Seeing him tear a Star Destroyer out the sky, hurling force pushes to beat down giant monsters or just decimating Vader in a sword fight would be enough to put off some of the fans.

* Aside from the enemies that can't be killed with only Force powers, there's absolutely nothing stopping you from going through the game using nothing but Force powers.



It makes sense. At least, more sense than the game's story.

!!Why does Starkiller have a lightsaber?
Yahtzee had a good point with this one. If he's so damn powerful with the force he can clear out a room with minimal effort, why even bother with the lightsaber? Why not just kill everyone with the force?

!!Why wasn't Starkiller an Emperor's Hand?

Why the Emperor didn\'t kill Bail Organa

Added DiffLines:

** Leia in ''A New Hope" did remark to Vader about her arrest that "the Imperial Senate will not sit still for this". Presumably the Emperor knew that executing Garm Bel Iblis, Mon Mothma and Bail Organa, three Senators from three very influential worlds was a huge political gambit, even for him. IIRC my Star Wars canon correctly, Bel Iblis and Mon Mothma had resigned from the Senate at around the time the Rebellion was founded anyway, so they probably immediately resigned and went into hiding running the Rebellion. Bail Organa probably stood by his status as the sovereign monarch of Alderaan, much like how Leia hid behind Diplomatic status as her fathers replacement in the Senate. For the Emperor to completely ignore this and arrest the monarch of a core world, he'd need to be virtually immune to criticism. Abolishing the Senate because with the Death Star he didn't need it would let him do that. Anyway, in ANH, Vader seemed pretty aware of who the Rebel leaders were and was more happy that he would finally be able to dispense with them after the subterfuge the rebels had been hiding behind.

** The way I saw it, Kota realized that dark-side Galen could be far more powerful than Vader or Palpatine. There would be no point in killing Palpatine if it would cause Galen to fall to the dark side.

** Bear in mind that niether Vader nor Sidious actually wanted Starkiller dead. It's entirely plausible to assume that they could have protected him from the vacuum forces him in some way. Also remember that Vader had to "rebuild" Starkiller's body, which could account for both being smashed through the glass and the subsequent asphyxiation.

** He (er, it, sorry) said it couldn't revive her. It didn't imply if she was dead or not. Besides, how can you revive someone if they're still alive, anyway?

*** Following on this one, my theory is that he thinks he failed at being a strong Jedi. He attacked the Tie Fighter factory to draw Vader out, but was surprised when he encountered "a boy" and thought he'd be able to defeat him easily. however, when he get's trumped by Galen, he probably thought to himself that he became a pitiful excuse for a Jedi if he can't even defeat (in his mind) a Sith Apprentice, so he degrades himself over this.

*Cloning someone as in "creating a genetically identical twin with their own thoughts and feelings" is perfectly viable for a Jedi, (as the clone is really a different person) but cloning as in "making an exact duplicate with the same memories and personality" had never been done to a Jedi. Hence the dozens of horribly failed clones.

* I figured Kota was lying out of his arse. I mean, I'm sure that throughout the 1,000+ years of Jedi, there were a few Jedi here and there that were blind either from birth or injury. Kota wasn't the first, or likely the last, blind Jedi.



Why doesn't Bail just tell Obi-Wan "Hey, we're starting a rebellion, please help Jedi Master! And bring Vader's son, since we have two insanely powerful Jedi here to train him!" I know he contacted Obi-Wan in IV, but that was 2 years later. Why wait?

*** Most of the air in the room would have been blown out into space in the time it takes for the pressure doors to come down. The remaining air would be too thin to breath and would be such low pressure that Starkiller would be stricken with a fatal case of decompression sickness. Again, this is pure RuleOfCool and RuleOfFunny. In real life Starkiller would have been killed, but it doesn't matter because it's cool and it's funny.

to:

*** Then again, in the novelization, Starkiller sees himself get stabbed by the Dark Apprentice. Perhaps this played into his decision ''not'' to kill Vader (the book went with the Light Side ending). Perhaps Vader also foresaw this and ''didn't'' throw Juno hard enough to kill, knowing Starkiller would go berserk if he did.

*** To be fair, the original Jorus C'Baoth (note one "u" versus the clone's two) wasn't much better. He outright considered himself above non-Jedi, was desperate to mount a mission to another galaxy for no good reason (there are still plenty of undiscovered systems in ''this'' one), and, when push came to shove, crossed the line into the Dark Side by trying to Force-choke Thrawn (who wasn't evil yet). Basically, it was Jorus C'baoth's fault that the ''OutboundFlight'' was destroyed with nearly all hands. That his clone turned out to be crazy wasn't much of a surprise.

** The novelization has Starkiller see a vision before arriving on Kamino of getting stabbed by an evil clone. Perhaps this plays into his decision to let Vader live (the book takes the Light side option).

* Sure, he has impressive mastery over the force, but physically he's just a scrawny dude who gets pushed around by ''robots''. And I'm not talking about badass assassin machines of destruction a la HK-47 no, I'm talking about big, dumb, slumbering robots (Imperial Purge Troopers) who can take half his health in a single combo. Also just about any other Jedi he fights (padawan or master) is able to cut through his defense like a hot knife through butter. And for all the awesome his force powers are, 90% of them are useless against most bosses (with force lightning being more or less the only reliable one against larger creatures). If anything, he's more of a GlassCannon.
