** Or, potentially, he wanted to create the Rebelliom. The Dark Side in him wanted something to fight, to bully into submission, some enemy to kill, rather than just weaklings. Plus, their existence would potentially give him a shot at Palpatine. The small remaining spark of Anakin in him wanted to kill the Empire, to defeat the man who had caused him so much misery and anguish through his life. Vader allowed the Rebellion because he wanted it to exist. This could also explain why he made so many seemingly odd calls throughout the Galactic Civil War.

* Vader has witnessed Sidious Force Lightning at least three Jedi. The first, Mace Windu, kickstarted his [[ThatManIsDead That Man Is Dead arc]]. The canonical Light Side ending concludes with Vader watching Starkiller, his allegedly evil twisted apprentice [[spoiler: sacrifice himself to save a Jedi and his allies, starting the rebellion]] showing him [[WhatCouldHaveBeen What Could Have Been]]. Finally the third time? His own son struggling with his own possible [[StartOfDarkness Start of Darkness]] only to throw it back at Palpatine and resist. [[LoveRedeems Watching his own son about to be summarily executed]] much like he saw with [[CallBack Kota only a few years earlier and Mace Windu so long ago]]. Needless to say [[DyingMomentOfAwesome He]] [[RedemptionEqualsDeath makes]] [[FaceHeelTurn it count.]] [[ArcWords Poetry indeed...]]

* In the second game, why did Starkiller's lightning-powered Force Lightning didn't harm Darth Vader after being struck for over a minute, while Palpatine's managed to kill him after being struck for mere seconds? Most likely because Starkiller's Lightning is nothing compared to Palpatine's, who's trained to perfection by Darth Plagueis, especially as Starkiller's own master COULD NOT do Force Lightning himself.

* In the light side ending of the second game, Kota’s rebels manage to capture Darth Vader after Starkiller decides not to kill him. In the dark side ending, when Starkiller tries to kill Vader, he is backstabbed out of nowhere by another clone, who then kills Kota and his men. If Vader created the second clone in both endings, why did it only show up when Starkiller tried to kill Vader? And how didn’t Kota see him?

* ''Ultimate Sith Edition'': Jabba's VillainBall of trying to kill Starkiller despite his known Imperial power and generous business offer. While nothing happens to Jabba onscreen, it's safe to say that the Empire probably ended up raining hell on him offscreen for screwing with their new [[TheDragon Dragon]] like that.

*** The Databank entry on the Imperial Stormtroopers is just Cody ranting about how horrible and clumsy the recruits are and how he’d trade an entire platoon for a singe Jango Fett clone. The fact he’s been assigned to protect his homeworld comes across as the least of his problems. It’s also worth mentioning that there’s nothing to definitively say he died when the Salvation crashed, and with the Imperial code of uniformity, he’d look just like any other stormtrooper. It’s completely possible that the player character kills Cody directly.

* In ''Ultimate Sith Edition'', Jabba has nothing to gain and everything to lose by trying to kill the Empire's new [[TheDragon Dragon]], especially despite the latter having politely offered the former a big-ass payday in exchange for info about R2 and 3PO.

* Adding to this, Anakin spent his first 9 years of life as a slave. Being berated as less than worthless, beaten for little to no reason at their whim, working them to the bone, not caring if they died as a result, and ultimately treating a slave as nothing more than a tool to be used is pretty much stock slave master tactics, the sorts of things Watto would probably have done to Anakin and his mother regularly. Like a lot of children in Real Life, Anakin eventually grew up to do the same sort of abusive things to his own "child" that someone who abused him and the people around him did during his formative years.

** You have to read the background information a bit but the unit assigned to to guard the cloning facility? It's the 212th Attack Battalion, lead by Commander Cody and Obi-Wan's old unit. They are utterly wiped out when the Salvation hits and if you read some of the databank info, the 212th was miserable on Kamino. Really the attack just seems like the end cap on an very crappy tour. It's also a bit heartbreaking that an character, while not quite beloved, was still very much someone people who'd watched the Clone Wars had grown to like and he's just killed by having a ship dropped on him? This is a man who'd survived the Clone Wars, the turmoil of the Rise of the Empire and he dies offscreen. He was a minor character in the grand scheme of things but still....

* Why does Starkiller's lightsaber have an exposed crystal chamber (something seemingly impractical, as the crystal could get dislodged in the middle of a fight and screw Starkiller over)? [[GenreSavvy Being a video game character]], he wants to be able to change his crystal on the fly, since he finds many other crystals in the overworld.
