Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

review 1: The Force Unleashed II was way better than the first book! I really enjoyed it!Wow, Starkiller’s hard to kill isn’t he? He just keeps on coming back to life. Just when I thought that it was the end of Starkiller… Anyway, everything about this book was better than the first. Starkiller’s character was fantastic! I loved the new problems that he had with himself. It made his character so much more interesting. I also loved the ‘is-he-a-clone’ argument. My opinion is that it depends on how we look at his character. Maybe he is a clone or maybe he’s the original Starkiller who miraculously survived the battle aboard the Death Star. What I loved most about Starkiller was his devotion to Juno. His love for her made him resist the dark side. As for the other charact... moreers, Kato and Juno Eclipse played a much bigger role being part of the Rebellion. I really liked both of them especially Juno. She’s so cool now that she isn’t just flying Starkiller around. Other main members of the Rebellion made appearances: Leia and Bail Organa, Ackbar, Mon Motham etc. Yoda also made an appearance! I just wished that he and Starkiller had more interactions. As for the plot, like the characters, it improved greatly. Instead of Starkiller going off and killing ‘big bosses’ in each of his mission he was given, he had only one goal in mind: finding Juno. There were still great battle scenes but this time, it was nicely written without being exaggerated. Ackbar also said his infamous line: “It’s a trap!” Classic.Overall, The Force Unleashed II was a fantastic sequel! The ending was very opened so I had to wonder if there would be a third book or not. I hope there is. Sean Williams has finally found his groove.
review 2: I said this at the end of my review for The Force Unleashed II. There was no reason for a second book. The guy dead, but no we had to have a sequal and there has to be a 3rd actually. There is no way around it if you read the ending, which is bad...Spoilers below.This book has Starkiller being cloned to come back under Vadar. Ok, fine. Vadar tries to sell him in leaving the lab, gain an army (rebels) and have them come out of hiding so Vadar and the Emperor can squash them. Ok, fine. Starkiller wants to find his "love of his life" in Juno. Storyline for that is joke. Juno still loves him, again a joke. I didn't realize this was a girls teen love book to read. All she does is remember him, blah, blah, blah... It was just a recount of book 1 and parts that you could skip. The book shows the development of the rebels and how Arkabar comes about, which is nice. There was one part where Organa is shooting away at people and that is way off. Leia's dad was not a fighter and it was not shown like that in the movies at all. Boba Fett is in the book, which could be considered cool, or just a lame attempt to use him in the story.I am going to skip to the end and the big issue where Vadar is defeated (again by the way) by Starkiller. Ummm, note to Sean Williams, wasn't Vadar like crazy off the scales when it came to Jedi Force? I am tired of these other characters having all these Jedi/Sith powers that are unmatched from anyone else. They need to get it right Vadar is pretty nasty, thank you. Some of the older SW books with Luke get it so right. He can do things, but not Supernatural powers that Superhero's have.I might be forced (no pun intended) to read the 3rd one when it comes out because I want to see how Vadar gets out of prison or custody from the rebels. Yeah, you heard me correctly. Vadar is captured...yeah ok. less
