Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

"Uncertain your future is... find yourself you must."

- Yoda to Starkiller

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II is the follow up to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and was announced at the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards on December 12, 2009. The story still takes place between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope. It takes place half a year after the first Force Unleashed video game.

Story
After Galen Marek's death aboard the first Death Star, Darth Vader attempts to bring him back by taking his body to Kamino to have him cloned. His motive is to have the perfect Sith Warrior. Marek is once again trained under Vader, being told that he is one of the many attempts to clone his original self, and that all the others had gone insane, leading the clone to doubt his mental stability. But when he experiences a vision that shows Vader betraying his original self, he finally chooses to escape Kamino by stealing Vader's TIE Fighter and begins to experience memories of a life he does not remember living. The fugitive tracks down General Rahm Kota, who has been captured by the Empire and is being held on Cato Neimoidia for execution in the palace of Baron Tarko. He must fight his way through the opulent domain, and then proceeds to rescue Kota after a seven-day gladiatorial ordeal. Tarko then releases the Gorog, the giant creature featured in the teaser trailer. Marek also travels to Dagobah, after it was mentioned by Kota, and it stuck in the clone's mind.

Promotion
The first trailer depicts a hooded man walking along a hall, apparently oblivious to the fact that he is using the Force to destroy everything around him while the voices of Yoda and Darth Vader are speaking about the light and dark sides' paths. As the voices conflict, the man appears to become more confused and frustrated, as the destruction he leaves in his wake becomes more chaotic. The man stops when the voice of Juno Eclipse is heard. He stops destroying the hallway, and as he lowers his hood, he appears to be Galen Marek. He enters an arena on Cato Neimoidia while a dead rancor is thrown in the air and lands near him. A Gorog then appears from the gate and Galen charges his Force lightning before firing it at the massive beast. He subsequently pulls out two blue lightsabers and jumps onto the beast. The background fades and the lightsabers become the Roman numeral "II" behind the Force Unleashed logo. 

The game was also advertised by its own website featuring the trailer and the press release from LucasArts. On May 26, the website was modified to feature a first-person perspective of someone in a Cloning tank, known as Subject 1157. The tank featured a holographic display where users could click on and play minigames which periodically unleash visions.

The second trailer was premiered on June 11, 2010. It shows Starkiller chained to the floor surrounded by stormtroopers. Darth Vader tells him he has served his purpose and he has no more need for the apprentice. Ordering his execution, Vader walks out. As the stormtroopers move in for the kill, Starkiller grasps his chains and the lights go out. He jumps around and takes out the troopers one by one. Walking into the hallway, Starkiller meets more troopers and an armored flamethrower droid, which he destroys by splitting the gas tank on it's rear and firing Force lightning into the escaping gas, causing an explosion. He then meets more troopers and a giant four-legged walker, all of which he mercilessly destroys, vaporizing a large number with a violent Force repulse. He declares he has something to fight for, and no one, not even Vader, can stop him. Meanwhile, levels below, Vader stares at cloning tanks, and one of the clones wakes up.
