Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: Difference between revisions

** [[Monkey Island|Guybrush Threepwood]] is playable in II as an outfit for Starkiller.

* [[Captain Obvious]]: Kota descends into this sometimes, especially when he's serving as [[Mission Control]] in the second game.

'''Starkiller''': What the ''hell'' is this thing??<br />

'''Kota''': I have no idea. But it's big.<br />

** The series however is quick darker in general compared to [[Star Wars]] video games and even the trilogy itself. You are not some plucky Rebel resistance member who acquires the power of the force but rather an [[Anti-Villain]] turned [[Anti-Hero]] (possibly, unless you are playing the DLC which then turns the [[Darker and Edgier]] [[Up to Eleven]] as you completely destroy all hope) who works for the Empire (or rather Vader).

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Starkiller goes into this territory sometimes, more obvious in the second game when another character is running Mission Control.

'''Starkiller''': Thanks for the update... }}

* [[Death Is a Slap on The Wrist]]: You just go back to the last [[Check Point]] and lose a few Force points.

* [[I Just Shot Marvin in the Face]]: Starkiller looks to very nearly take Senator Organa's head off with his lightsaber in his [[Reverse Grip]] style while the senator is standing right behind him. You can see it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8qg8MseDKY here at 3:50].

* [[I Lied]]: After Starkiller {{spoiler|gathers the leaders of the soon-to-be Rebel Alliance}} in an attempt to distract the Emperor long enough for him and Vader to stage a coup, Vader himself crashes the party and tells his "apprentice" that the whole plan was a ploy to {{spoiler|get all the rebels in one place and capture them in one swoop.}}

'''Vader''': "I lied, as I have from the very beginning." }}

** Happens again in the sequel{{spoiler|'s Dark Side ending}}.

* [[I'm a Doctor, Not a Placeholder|I'm A Doctor, Not A Placeholder!]]: Starkiller uses a variation of this trope in the sequel.

'''Starkiller''': Do I look like an engineer, General? }}

* [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: Many attacks involving the lightsaber. Also an ability.

* [[It Seemed Like a Good Idea At the Time]]: Amazing how a suggestion from one of the most feared people in Star Wars to entrap political dissidents ends up becoming a major problem to the Empire later on.

* [[I Have Your Wife|I've Got Your Girl]]: In the sequel {{spoiler|Darth Vader hires Boba Fett to capture Juno Eclipse in order to lure Starkiller into a trap.}}

* [[I Want You to Meet An Old Friend of Mine]]: Sam Witwer (the voice of Starkiller) and David W. Collins (the voice for PROXY) are friends in real life.

* [[Jedi Mind Trick]]: One of Starkiller's powers in the sequel. Taken [[Up to Eleven]] as it turns stormtroopers into bombs at max power.

** Kota's fleet comes out of hyperspace over Kamino to find that the Empire set a trap and were waiting for them. [[Return of the Jedi|Sound familiar]]?

** The Imperial announcer over Kamino's PA:

** The databank for the AT-ST has the Empire dismissing outrageous claims that it is prone to "falling over".

** One of the database entries in II is written by one Lieutenant Piete, who hopes to transfer off Vader's ship before receiving any more promotions.

* [[The Power of Love]]

* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]

'''Starkiller''': Let them try... }}

* [[Press X to Not Die]]: The ends of boss battles use Quicktime Events.

* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: The main selling point of the game is being capable of slicing an AT-ST in half vertically and launching Stormtroopers into the next time zone...and pulling a Star Destroyer down from orbit.

** That last example is actually so audacious that Galen himself doesn't think he can do it... only for General Kota {{spoiler|whom he'd earlier blinded}}, to tell him this, as a [[Shout-Out|nod to what Yoda told Luke in the second part of the original trilogy]]:

* [[Resurrected Romance]]: {{spoiler|In the sequel Starkiller's primary motivation for breaking free from Vader's control after being brought back from the dead is to find Juno. It's unclear whether he is a clone or not, but she seems quite willing to accept him back into her life.}}

* [[Reverse Grip]]: Galen's lightsaber wielding style.

** Note that when he sacrificing himself, the programming that told him to ''kill'' Galen were also gone by that point after the smelter's computer core "possessed" PROXY and was destroyed when Starkiller killed the facility. Of course, it's understandable if it's not all that familiar, considering how the Wii version omitted this fact.

* [[Say My Name]]: In the sequel...

'''Starkiller and PROXY in unison''': I thought you were dead?!? }}

* [[Send in the Clones]]: The sequel might as well have been called ''Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: The Clone Saga.''

* [[Weld the Lock]]: During your breakout from the ''Empirical'', a cutscene shows a purge trooper welding shut a door through which you have to go. You also have to go through the purge trooper and two EVO troopers.

* [[Wham! Line]]: This exchange, after which the direction of the game (along with Starkiller's life) changes completely.

'''Darth Vader''': {{spoiler|I did not summon him. [''ignites his lightsaber through Starkiller's back''] His spies followed you here.}} }}

* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Inverted. {{spoiler|In the Dark Side ending from the sequel, Starkiller goes to kill Vader... Only to be stabbed by a clone that Vader had rid of Galen's personality, with several unlockable videos explaining the Dark Apprentice's origin & where he came from. At no point is he even hinted at during the Light Side ending, making the supplementary videos entirely pointless if that's the Canon ending, since we get the origin for a ''character who canonically doesn't even exist within the game that introduced him''.}}

** A Rancor, you know, like Jabba's [[Fluffy the Terrible|pet]], gets tossed about like a squeaky toy by the Gorog.

* [[World of Cardboard Speech]]: In the sequel, Starkiller pretty much gives one of these to Vader.

* [[Wreaking Havok]]: See [[Person of Mass Destruction]] and [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]] above.

* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: Darth Vader puts in motion a gambit that helps regain much of his intergalactic badass quality he might have lost over the years. {{spoiler|Even if, somehow, the members of the new rebel alliance escape, he still knows who they are.}}
