    The funny thing about Proxy. He was my favorite character because of his simple and easy to understand motives. He also reminded me of HK-47 as they both had similar programming. They’re just built to kill, but they're so damn charming that you can overlook that they are probably not the best droids to be around.
    Then you brought up just how damn well they used Proxy in the story and it just makes me appreciate him even more.

    The novelization should get this since it addresses a lot of these complaints. I understand you were doing the game alone and you could argue they did not have the technology to do Witcher 3 length in depth dialogue. The Unleashed novel is getting an unabridged audio book in November and I can't wait. In terms of Force powers, it's my favorite and I can't look at another Force user kindly when they complain about handling 20 people. Give me a break.

    It’s interesting how in the main version of the game the line delivery for the “drown in some cantina” line is so hopeful, compared to the Krome version where Starkiller sounds like he couldn’t care less.

    Concerning the Kota Question: either he withdrew from the force as best as he could because of his failure or he tested Galen. Let me explain the reasoning. In the extended Lore Kota is descripted as a very confident man thinking highly of his skills since he achieved everything despite comming later into the order then anyone else (we has already commanded tropps at the point) . His failure must have been all the more devastating to him. So he might have succumbed to self - doubt and rejected the force.
    More likely he did this until it called to him on Bespin. When he felt Galen he might have suspected his identity. but pretending to be blind to the force would have given him a chance to see how Galen dealt with an "easy pawn". Galen could have used the situation way more if he wanted but the way he interacted with Kota showed him to be the troubled individual that Kota knew he would find after his vision.
    Just my thoughts.

    I have a theory about Stark killers parents and as to why they chose to move to Kashyyyk, it’s it’s probably wrong, but I’d like to think it was a similar reason to Yoda, jashyyyk like dagoba is mostly forest and is extremely powerful in the force, which is why Yoda chose to hide on dagoba, to hide his presence in the force, I’d like to think star killer was so powerful at birth that his parents chose to hide on a planet that is strong in the force to hide him.

    About a third of the way through. I’m really glad to see someone going in depth on this game. It’s definitely a great one, but also has some glaring flaws. I personally have yet to replay it, and prefer the Wii version I had first. Although, that version has its own flaws for sure. I’d honestly love if you were willing to do a video like this on that version as well, since I think there’s a very different feel to the whole game, likely a result of a different team and different limitations and freedoms. Would definitely say I prefer the bosses and QTEs of that version, as well as some of the added events(even if the Jedi Temple missions make no sense). Would that be something you’re willing to do, out of curiosity? Either way, I love this video.

    To answer your issue with people suddenly changing kyber crystals. In the lore you can "bleed" any crystal to turn it red by forcing darkness on it. This explains how Maris Brood had two red sabers. However ive never heard of healing a kyber crystal so im unsure how Galen got his hands on blue.. though it does make sense to have a light side variation of the process he was not actually lightside at that time. Only just being ordered to pretend to.

    • @Zorkii
      @Zorkii 4 місяці тому +1

      That's for current lore Though. Time of this games release it was just synthetic kyber crystals the Sith used. (if i remember correctly Red isn't a color Kyber crystals take.) And healing a kyber crystal turns it white. Like how Ahoska's current lightsaber Is white. She killed and inquisitor and healed his crystal.

    I understand your frustrations at this point. However, if you use both sticks (if using a controller) you can really give the metal a good pull, making the experience a little less painful. The metal, however is still frustratingly stiff and pain had been experienced many times for many of us Sith/Jedi.

    Your entire rant about the script of Vader saying he lied to star killer entirely hinges on you believing Vader. I think it was made very apparent Vader fully intended on overthrowing the emperor with starkiller but over the course of the game didn’t think it was possible and is now selling the idea that Starkiller was a tool of the emperor the whole time. Just found it weird that you took Vader at his word there.

      @KateriYT  4 місяці тому +2

      Did some research after reading this. You're correct that there is a lightsaber color change in the lore through an effect called bleeding, and this would explain Maris' lightsaber change, but it would have to be the fastest bleed in all of Star Wars lore. It would also create a continuity error if bleeding happened at that pace with Starkiller's new blue crystal not turning eventually red. Thank you for the information.
      Also, there are still natural red crystals and they can be materially synthesized from other crystals, so bleeding isn't the only red crystals explanation in Star Wars lore.

    If I Continued This To Force Unleashed 3.
    I'll Embrace The Fact That These two games aren't Canon.
    More Creative Freedom for Me.
    It Take Place after The Sith Ending of This game, and It's Sith Hoth DLC.
    As an Opening:
    Sideous, after Learning Of Luke Sky walker's Capture,
    Makes Starkiller and Luke, (assumed to Be turned Fully under The Dark side)
    And Forces them to Duke it Out,
    In order to Serve the Rule of 2.
    The Beginning of The Game is a Tutorial Boss Fight with Dark Side Luke.
    We Defeat Luke Enough,
    where cutscene plays out Like The Button Prompt of the end of the Bosses of The First Game.
    But instead of constantly Pressing Buttons During The Cutscene,
    You Just get the Pleasure of Watching Luke and Galen Merrick Slashing Lightsabers in such a Fast Flurry,
    That Sparks Come Flying out Like Rain.
    They Do that Until They Stike each other Back at Opposite ends of The Room,
    Then Sprint at Full Speed To Lock Blades Right infront of The Emperor,
    Whos Enjoying this with Twisted Enjoyment.
    Galen and Luke Charge Purple and Red Lightning into Their Blades that are Pushing against each other.
    Then, With The Might of The Two Warriors,
    They Channel all that Energy,
    And Unleash it at Palpetine.
    But The Emperor, Predicting This,
    Force Pushes That Energy away,
    It's You and Luke VS Emperor Palpetine, The TRUE first Boss,
    With The Emperor Weilding
    His Iconic 2 Lightsabers from that Fight against Darth Maul and his Brother.
    The Fight Leads to a Knocked out Luke, and Starkiller Force Pulls Luke's Lightsaber to his Free hand to Block The Force Lightning from Sidieous.
    Galen, Being Weakened without The Sith Holocron inside his Back.
    Almost Loses,
    But Then Darth VADER comes Back as Force Ghost to Help Save his Son.
    And it Plays out like Mace windu Blocking Force Lightning from Revenge of The Sith.
    In The Emperor's Last Moments, Realizing his Position.
    Accepts his Fate and Dies.
    Leaving Starkiller as The Emperor's Successor.
