Briefly about the article: In our reality, cloning is developing quite slowly, but for fantasy worlds, clones are something taken for granted. In some places they are no different from people, in others they are raised like animals for slaughter. What's the deal with cloning in Star Wars? Let's try to figure it out together with Dmitry Zlotnitsky.

All as one

Clones in Star Wars

These clones started the war.

Master Yoda

Cloning is a popular topic in science fiction, but most books and films tend to only explore one of the many aspects of this technology. Another thing is the large-scale Star Wars universe, created over many years of work by hundreds of writers, artists, and filmmakers. You won't find any kind of clones here...

We first heard about them from the wise Obi-Wan Kenobi back in A New Hope. However, his terse account of the Clone Wars is the only mention of the subject of interest in the entire Original Trilogy. For the decade and a half between the release of Episode 6 and the start of the Expanded Universe, clones and everything connected with them remained the subject of speculation and fierce debate among Star Wars fans. Meanwhile, in our world, cloning has achieved noticeable success - and in the late nineties, the authors of Star Wars books and comics were already able to rely on scientific research when telling us about clones.

Grand Army

The most famous Star Wars clones were, of course, featured in the prequels. Clone Army, created by order of the master Sifo-Dyas, who foresaw the war, forever changed the face of the galaxy.

Technopark, or rather, Technopond Kamino.

The second episode reveals to us the secret of Kamino - the planet where recognized masters of biotechnology live. Cloning became an urgent necessity and part of their culture: it was this that allowed the Kaminoans, breaking out of the boundaries of natural selection, to adapt to the harsh climatic conditions of their home world. Over time, clone makers turned their art into a profitable business. Sifo-Dyas's order was paid for by Count Dooku, who also chose the donor for the clones, although the Kaminoans offered to use the Jedi's genetic material. The last Mandalorian mercenary, Jango Fett, who became the prototype for the fighters of the Republican army, met Dooku even before he left the Jedi Order, and made a great impression on the Count.

The first fight is the most difficult.

However, being an excellent warrior, Fett would hardly have become a good soldier - his sense of individualism was too strong. Because of this, the first two years of the Kaminoans' work on the grandiose project went down the drain: the first six clones inherited the character of the original and were almost resistant to army training. That is why changes were made to Jango’s genotype, making most of the clones disciplined and selflessly loyal to the Republic. The few clones who escaped this procedure subsequently became officers and “special forces” soldiers.

To speed up the process of creating an army, the Kaminoans used technology that allowed clones to mature twice as fast as normal people. A stronger acceleration of development threatened the clones with psychological instability and even madness.

Jengo's former comrades in arms were involved in training future soldiers, so some of the clones adopted the habits of the sergeants who trained them and even joined the Mandalorian culture. Thus, contrary to popular belief, Jango's clones were not biological killing machines, but real people, albeit with crippled learning and accelerated maturation. Even the execution of the fatal “order 66” was dictated not by the program embedded in the gene code, but solely by loyalty to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. Moreover, some clones considered this order a possible enemy trick and allowed their Jedi commanders to escape. In another impressive example of defiance: a clone nicknamed Spar, obsessed with the idea of ​​​​rebuilding the Mandalorian clan of militants, defected to the side of the Confederacy.

Each of the clones had not only a personal number by which the officers knew them, but also a name known to their brothers. Although to an outside observer there was no difference between the clones, they themselves could easily distinguish each other. Over time, many Jedi mastered this ability, learning to see people in their subordinates. The fighters paid their commanders with reciprocal affection: just remember the clones Cody and Bly, who were friends with their generals Obi-Wan and Aayla Secura. And at least two soldiers of the Republican army learned what love is, and even left offspring.

After the end of the war, the army became one of the main pillars of the Empire. One of the first victims of the clones were the Kaminoans, who were trying to create the next batch of soldiers to fight Palpatine's tyranny. Accelerated in development, the clones quickly aged and gradually lost white armor to stormtroopers recruited from ordinary people. Nevertheless, some of the copies of Jango Fett lived for quite a long time: already during the Rebellion, young Luke Skywalker encountered an elderly clone on one uninhabited planet.

The Grand Clone Army is the least moral variant of cloning, an example of how living and thinking beings can be turned into instruments of war. Moreover, some clones were used as “spare parts” for their comrades - after all, their organs had perfect genetic compatibility.

The Grand Army of the Republic was divided into two parts: regular and special units. At the head of the regular army, numbering up to three million clones, was the Supreme Chancellor. His orders took precedence over those of the Jedi who were in charge "on the ground." The Knights of the Order led combat units - from the armies of star systems to regiments. And the smallest combat unit of the Grand Army was a detachment of eight ordinary clones and a sergeant.

The special units led by Master Zei were much smaller. Only a few thousand clones were engaged in such important matters as intelligence, counterintelligence and the fight against terrorism. These “special purpose” clones were the most independent from their superiors, and sometimes even acted autonomously.

It is already clear from the films that the clones’ uniforms were not the same. The design of the armor was highly dependent on the type of troops and the conditions of the planet on which the unit had to fight. And the coloring of the armor not only and not so much served for camouflage, but rather indicated the rank of a clone.

Cynic from the highway

Only one clone of Jango escaped any genetic changes and got a chance to live a full life. Boba Fett Although he was an exact copy, without the slightest changes, he was still a copy of Dzhengo, but the latter treated him like a son.

Despite identical initial data, Boba grew up not just as a copy of his “father,” but as a full-fledged, original personality. Although the formation of both Fetts was determined by the same qualities, apparently laid down by Mother Nature: perseverance, individualism and predatory instincts. Both lost their parents early, but if Jango immediately found himself surrounded by Mandalores and grew up among loyal brothers in arms, always ready to support, then the orphaned Boba found himself alone with the entire criminal world of the galaxy. If you multiply this with the vendetta against the Jedi, it becomes clear what fate awaited young Fett. By the end of the Clone Wars, when he turned thirteen - the age of majority among Mandalorians - Boba had already become a professional bounty hunter, with more than one murder to his name.

And at work.

Over the ensuing years, his reputation grew stronger and his achievements increased, and even his fall into the jaws of the Sarlacc did not put an end to his brilliant career. Against all odds, he got out of the womb of the terrible creature, survived and was able to return to his “work.” Subsequently, the paths of Boba, Han Solo and the Jedi crossed more than once, and the matter usually ended in mutual shootouts. However, during the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, the famous bounty hunter saved the life of the captain of the Millennium Falcon. But his adventures did not end there...

Boba Fett is an excellent example of the fact that the genes embedded in a clone during creation can only serve as starting capital, and the formation of his personality depends largely on his upbringing and living conditions. But can't clones become the key to eternal life even in a distant galaxy? They can - but this requires more than biotechnology.

Vader's fist

The 501st Legion is a legendary combat unit that gained fame during the Clone Wars. It included clones grown on Coruscant - the elite, who were sent on the most important missions. Legion fighters were part of the armies that fought in the most important battles of the Clone Wars. It was they, led by Anakin Skywalker, who went to the Jedi Temple to destroy all the knights and students. A little later, the legionnaires rescued Darth Vader from a trap on Bespin and since then were considered the personal guard of the Emperor's new disciple. The Legion earned a dark reputation for quelling uprisings (the first victims were the Wookiees) and destroying the Emperor's enemies. The level of military training in the unit has always remained at the highest level. Largely thanks to this, the legionnaires survived the death of Palpatine and the Civil War. They continued to serve the ideals of the Empire many years after that, although the legion began to accept not only people, but also representatives of other races.

Renaissance

One of the most pressing cloning questions in our world is this: if Hitler is cloned, will a new, equally bloody dictator appear on Earth? Replace Hitler with Emperor Palpatine- and you get the central theme of the comic trilogy “ Dark Empire", one of the first works of the Expanded Universe.

The Emperor Reborn.

Already from Palpatine’s Senate speech in Revenge of the Sith, one can conclude that he created the Empire in the hope of ruling it for hundreds of years. But how was the already middle-aged Sith, whose health was undermined by the battle with Mace Windu, going to live for so long? The authors of “Dark Empire” answered this question long before the Third Episode: Palpatine prepared a whole bunch of his own clones in advance, and when his “current” body wore out, with the help of the Dark Side of the Force the Sith “moved” into a new, fresh body.

This is how the Emperor returned to life several years after his death in the reactor of the second Death Star. In an attempt to regain control of the galaxy, he even managed to temporarily drag Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side. In one of his conversations with a new student, Palpatine admitted that even before Endor he had died and been reborn.

Unfortunately for the Emperor, the power of the Dark Side very quickly turned the cloned bodies into old ruins, and he had to look for new containers for his spirit. Therefore, for most of all three volumes of “Dark Empire,” the main characters are engaged in the consistent shooting and slaughter of Palpatine’s clones. The last of them was simply shot by Han while trying to move into the body of the newborn son of Solo and Princess Leia.

The Emperor was generally a big fan of cloning and used it in a very original way - for example, for punishment. An unenviable fate befell the evil genius Bevela Lemeliska, author of several examples of imperial superweapons, including the Death Star. After each failure, the engineer faced a painful death, the “pumping” of his invaluable mind into a cloned body - and further research. Lemelisk was finally executed only after he fell into the hands of the New Republic.

The authors of the “Expanded Universe” tried to revive other heroes with the help of cloning - and exclusively negative ones. Outstanding Imperial Commander Admiral Thrawn prepared a clone so that in case of sudden death he would return ten years after death. But shortly before the appointed time, the cylinder with Thrawn's clone was destroyed by Luke and Mara Jade. In addition, Thrawn used clones in his troops, reasonably suggesting that they were much easier to control than ordinary soldiers.

Imperial official Ysanne Isard also cloned herself - but was eventually forced to team up with the Rebels to destroy her own unruly copy. Both went almost mad and, fortunately for the entire galaxy, died.

In general, a clone that does not know its origin is a terrible thing. Take, for example, the story of one Jedi. During the time of the Old Republic, Yorus K'Baoth went on an expedition to other galaxies - and died. However, Palpatine cloned C'Baoth, and the clone sincerely believed that he was the missing Jedi. Yoruus(as the clone pronounced his name) became an adept of the Dark Side and a few years after the Battle of Endor joined Admiral Thrawn. He controlled the minds of Thrawn's soldiers (among whom there were also many clones) and even tried to turn Luke, Mara and Leia to evil. Skywalker, by the way, also got it from biotechnologists: his clone Lyuyuk, grown from a hand severed in Episode Five, went over to the Dark Side, but was destroyed along with C’Baoth. It is interesting that according to the original plan Timothy Zana, the author of books about Thrawn, Yoruus was a clone of Obi-Wan, but this idea was not to the liking of the high authorities.

We can say that in a distant galaxy, the art of full-fledged personality copying died along with Palpatine. All the clones created for “consciousness transplantation” without the intervention of this most powerful adept of the Dark Side of the Force very quickly went crazy and died tragically.

Place in the galaxy

However, there were relatively peaceful uses for clones in Star Wars. A known race of humanoid aborigines from the planet Khom, which “froze” its own development and reproduced exclusively by cloning. Each Khomite performed the same social role as dozens of his copies. But even in such a society, evolution was able to pave the way for itself: copies of the Khomite named Dorsk, starting with the eighty-first bearer of this name, became susceptible to the Force.

Recently, the creators of Star Wars seem to have abandoned the idea of ​​reviving a famous hero as a clone. And this is good: the “forgotten” cloning cylinders have already become a kind of “grand pianos in the bushes” of a distant galaxy. New writers, first and foremost Karen Traviss, demonstrate a new approach to clones. Traviss's novels are dedicated to the everyday life of combat of simple, seemingly faceless clones who dedicated their lives to protecting the Republic. However, anyone who has read these books - or played a computer game Republic Commando- knows: behind the external sameness of clones lies internal individuality.

But outside of the Clone Wars, these creatures no longer appear. With one exception: we continue to be pleased with new details about the adventures of Boba Fett. The comic book series will probably also be affected by cloning. Heritage", because in it the authors promised to return to many topics from the history of the galaxy. And the clones managed to leave a very noticeable mark on it.

* * *

There is hardly another fantasy universe in which the interesting topic of cloning would be explored in such detail and variety. The future will bring us many more interesting stories about clones - after all, both the new animated series about the Clone Wars and the game show about the events between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope are unlikely to be able to do without their participation.

On December 14, the release of the eighth episode of Star Wars starts, where we will find out what fate the writers have prepared for Luke Skywalker.

In the meantime, we went through old films and collected some interesting details and Easter eggs that not everyone can notice when watching.

Spacecraft from " Space Odyssey"Stanley Kubrick can be seen at Watteau's parts junkyard in Episode I" The Phantom Menace» Finn's Stormtrooper number from " The Force Awakens", FN-2187, the same number as the cell where Princess Leia was kept in Episode IV " New hope» In episode I The Phantom Menace"You can see representatives of an alien race called Asogians

They are among the senators who listen to Amidala's call for a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Velorum. Undoubtedly, you immediately recognized them as relatives of the touching alien from the Spielberg film “ Alien”, released 17 years before this part of “Star Wars”

Funny how Darth Vader never said, "Luke, I am your father"

Despite the fact that this phrase is played out perfectly in various comics and memes, in fact the Dark Lord said: “No, I am your father.”

Legend has it that Jango Fett, while fleeing from the Jedi in Episode II, Attack of the Clones“I didn’t hit my head by accident

This is a tribute to an old blooper from episode IV " New hope", where the attack aircraft hit his head on the doorway, and during installation no one noticed this.

One of the students at the Jedi school was played by George Lucas' son Jett

The role was tiny, but with words and in two films - “ Attack of the Clones" And " Revenge of the Sith».

The phrase “I have a bad feeling” is said by many Star Wars heroes - Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo and Princess Leia

The grumpy robot K-2SO also tried to say it in the movie “ Rogue One”, but he was impolitely shut up.

In the second Star Wars trilogy, the number 1138 appears quite often. This is a nod to Lucas' debut film THX 1138. Unless you're a die-hard fan who knows the entire Star Wars story by heart, you're unlikely to have noticed one thing that appears in every trilogy of the saga

The blue milk produced by the banthas is drunk by Luke Skywalker at his uncle's house, it is part of Padmé Amidala's diet, and we see it in Jyn Erso's house at the beginning of the film. Rogue One».

In Episode III " Revenge of the Sith"There is another interesting point

A ship, which in the future will be called the Millennium Falcon, lands on the planet. At this point it was called the Star Envoy and was piloted by Tobb Jadak. Just as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Chancellor Palpatine crash-land on the same building, the Envoy arrives on its mission to the Senate government site. But Han Solo, who would later own the ship, had just been born that year.

December 12, 2017

Order 66 in the third episode "Star Wars" turned the clone army against the Jedi, and a new comic confirms that the former loyal soldiers had absolutely no choice. In fact, the words that directed them at the Jedi remained just as effective even after Chistika.

Order 66 was first shown in "Episode II: Attack of the Clones" and not without reason. George Lucas seemed to favor the idea that the Emperor's plan did not rely on "mind control" or "programming", but simply that the soldiers were completely loyal to the Republic rather than their Jedi commanders.

New explanation introduced in the series "The Clone Wars", added a literal microchip to every soldier's brain, but in the comic Darth Vader #17 the actual function of the Execute Order 66 command has become even clearer... but less satisfactory.

As you might expect in the prequels "Star Wars", not without drama and passion, a masterstroke by the Sith destroyed longtime enemies, the Jedi Order. Having secretly seized the creation of the Grand Army of the Republic using Darth Tyranus, Emperor Palpatine convinced the Jedi to use clones.

Comic Darth Vader #17, seems to confirm that the clones are machines rather than thinking people. The story sees surviving Jedi Ferren Barr gather a handful of Force-sensitives and take refuge on Mon Cala. After being discovered by Darth Vader's servants, Ferren Barr escapes... using Order 66.

The Inquisitor Soldiers were apparently brought into service after the Jedi Purge. But nevertheless, they were embedded with the same control chips as their brothers who betrayed the Jedi.

As Ferren Barr utters the same phrase, "Execute Order 66", the soldiers open fire on their officers, allowing Ferren Barr and his apprentice to escape.

Clones are just machines. No better than droids.

The comic confirms that any clone has a chip and is ready to open fire on the Jedi and their commanders after hearing just one phrase. Apparently, they are all programmed to attack those of higher rank.

Hello, dear Stopgeymovites, I present the continuation of the story about games based on the Star Wars universe. This episode tells the story of Darth Vader's apprentice. About the adventures of the Clone Wars and another portable part of Battlefront.
Episode 8 Forgotten Heroes

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Developed by LucasArts (PS3, X360), Krome Studios (PS2, PSP, Wii), n-Space (DS)
Universomo (iPod Touch, iPhone, mobile phones, N-Gage) Aspyr Media (Win, Mac) was released in September 2008, for PC in November 2009.
Darth Vader is sent to Kashyyyk to suppress the Wookiee rebellion, and at the same time kill the hiding Jedi. Only a little boy with enormous power potential could stop the Dark Lord. Without thinking twice, she takes him on as her student. After completing his training, Vader gives the task to find and kill the Jedi Ram Kota, Kazdan Paratas, Shaak Ti, and then together overthrow the emperor. But something didn’t go according to plan and poor Galen Marek, nicknamed Starkiller, will have to get out. The droid Proxy and the imperial pilot Juno Eclipse will help us in this difficult task. The first is intended for training and is capable of modulating appearance, for sending messages or for fun. And our Sith will fall in love with the second and will be ready to do anything to save her.




It is noteworthy that the plot was written by George Lucas himself. It is worth noting that the story is interesting and could easily fit into the canon.
The gameplay of the game is pure slasher, there was no talk of any revival of Jedi Academy. Long chains of combos, pumping up your sword and strength. You can try on a huge number of costumes and characters. Well, not small locations with a lot of secrets. By the way, it couldn’t be done without QTE either. But the promised physics shows all its beauty, although they won’t let you enjoy its madness for a long time. Despite the small variety, the developers approached the matter responsibly, which is why each version turned out to be special. For example, the version for PS3, X360 is more technologically advanced and beautiful, while the old PS2 had additional levels, and for the Wii there was a whole additional duel mode (and instead of stormtroopers on Kashyyyk there were clones). PC boyars received as many as 3 levels in which we will visit the Jedi temple and cross swords with Obi-Wan and Luke Skywalker.
According to LucasArts, the game was supposed to be the best in a distant galaxy. Advertising played a significant role in this, talking about the incredible strength abilities of the main character. Especially the moment of attraction of the cruiser promising something grandiose and colorful. In fact, a boring and drawn-out moment.


Some interesting facts
The game shows the birth of the rebel alliance, despite the fact that it was originally believed to appear during the Clone Wars. In “Revenge of the Sith” there was even a scene of how this happened. After being purchased by Disney, the animated series “Rebels” once again showed the canonical version of the origin, this time.




The nickname of the main character Starkiller was originally intended for Luke, but for an unknown reason he became Skywalker. And in “The Force Awakens” this is the name given to another mega-killing station.


On one of the levels you can meet the least favorite character of the saga, Jar Jar Binks. Frozen in carbonite. In the canon, he has a different fate, he became a clown on Naboo. Entertains children, adults do not approach him, and the Gungans drive him out.


The appearance and voice of Galen Marek were given by the American actor Sam Witwer, who also voiced Darth Maul in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels in the latter and also voiced Darth Sidious. Currently taking part in the development of the PS4 exclusive Days Gone.

Soulcalibur IV featured Darth Vader in the PlayStation 3 version, Yoda in the Xbox 360 version, and Galen Marek in both versions.


It turned out to be a good game in which you can have a good time. The game received good reviews and sales, which of course led to the announcement of a sequel.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Lightsaber Duels

Developed by Krome Studios for the Wii and released on November 11, 2008.
The game repeats the battles of the first season of the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
They took the duel mode from the Wii version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and made a full-fledged game in the surroundings of the animated series. Graphically the game looks good, you can see the efforts of the creators. And not particularly long, only 7 levels. But what the problem is with the management. It was, to put it mildly, uncomfortable, and the paucity of movements was also not pleasing, although the developers stated that the Wii controllers were similar to a lightsaber.
In addition to the campaign, there is a combat mode, in which we select a character and the difficulty level of the enemy; opponents are chosen at random. Victory is ensured if you take over your opponent in two rounds.
The game received mixed reviews, which did not stop Krome Studios from continuing to make games based on the animated series.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Jedi Alliance

Developed by LucasArts for the Nintendo DS and released on November 11, 2008.
Another game for the Nintendo console and again based on the Clone Wars.
The clone wars are in full swing, and at this time a transport ship flying with a cargo of kyber crystals (used for lightsabers) is attacked, and communication with the ship is lost. The Jedi Council decides to look into this incident.
You can send Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka Tan, Mace Windu, Plo Clune, Kitta Fisto and sometimes play for R2-D2 and C-3PO on a mission. The choice of heroes will affect dialogues, QTEs and the search for secrets.
In terms of gameplay, we walk through the levels, look for objects, play mini-games, hacking control panels, opening doors with a lightsaber, and fighting KNS droids. Or complete quests that have nothing to do with the plot. But the combat system is the weakest part of the game. To defeat enemies you need to shut them up with the stylus. And this happens all the time, over time you get used to it, but as you know, a residue remains.
Some interesting facts
The original title of the game, Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Day of the Nightsisters, was intended as a reference to the famous computer game Day of the Tentacle, also developed by LucasArts.
The reception to the game was mixed. They praised the plot, visual effects, sound, but critics did not like the simplified gameplay and combat system. But LucasArts still continued to support the cartoon with new games.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Republic Heroes

Developed by Krome Studios for PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 2, PC, Nintendo DS.
Events take place between seasons 1 and 2 of the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. A 3rd person action game with a simply “wonderful” camera. The game is primarily aimed at children for this reason and the cooperative is made.
In the role of famous (and not so famous heroes) you will have to clear the galaxy from the forces of droids. Alas, the gameplay is monotonous; battles with one boss are repeated almost one on one. The humor also does not shine with originality, with the exception of the droids (they are always shown as fools). Of course, the game turned out to last for a couple of evenings, if not for a couple, but. A disgusting camera, always taking such angles that it is absolutely unclear why you need to watch and the controls are not convenient, making it very difficult to jump to the right place; this also applies to battles. In addition to these delights, the PC version featured everyone’s favorite Games For Windows Live. Even after being taken over by Disney, they didn't get rid of him. But the Russian version was voiced by the same actors who voiced the animated series and the prequel trilogy.
It could be quite a good game for both adults and children. But problems with the camera prevented this from happening. The animated series has no luck with games.

Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron

Developed by Rebellion Developments for PSP and N-Space for DS released on November 3, 2009.
The story tells about two brothers clones X1 and X2, they are sensitive to force. They were serving calmly during the Clone War when suddenly order 66 arrived. After the murder of his Jedi commander Ferrod, X2 was very upset by his actions. And in order to atone for his guilt, he takes the side of the rebels.
The campaign is divided into three stages: 1) Clone Wars 2) Civil War 3) After the death of the emperor.
In addition to the old battle, galaxy capture, and campaign modes, there is also a new one (well, almost). Heroes vs. Villains in which famous characters have fun fighting. The DS version received an Instant Action mode in which four 4 players playing for different factions jointly shoot enemies at levels.
Customization has even improved slightly, plus classes have been returned. Unlike other parts of the game, during the battle you can simply take the ship and fly into orbit.
Some interesting facts
The local plot most likely uses developments for the full third part of Battlefront from Free Radical Design, as evidenced by the leaked footage of the characters, videos and the build for the Xbox 360.
The game features the character from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Ram Kota.


But the graphics, small levels and weak plot (although not when it was not a strong point in the series) spoiled the impression of players and critics. As a result, the game received mixed reviews, and Rebellion no longer made Star Wars games.

Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures

Developed by Sony Online Entertainment for PC released September 15, 2010.
Sony once again decided to make a Star Wars MMO aimed only at children. Unlike Galaxies browser-based.
Like any MMO game, it starts with choosing races and classes. There is a person, a clone or a Twi'lek. We choose one of four classes: soldier, Jedi, Sith and mercenary (before playing for the last two you need to buy them). After creating your protégé and meeting familiar faces, we go looking for adventures in mini-games
The game consists of many mini-games: battles on planets, battles in space, duels, races, puzzles, a shooting gallery and even a strategy like Tower Defense. When you get tired of doing all this, you can furnish your home or buy a droid.
Although the project was quite unusual, the focus on children who most likely do not have money for intra-mountain purchases and the appearance of a more serious competitor to the purchase ruined the game. On March 31, 2014, Sony closed the game servers.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

Developed by LucasArts for PS3, X360, PC and Red Fly Studio Wii released October 26, 2010.
The game was announced at the Spike Video Game Awards on December 12, 2009, and was announced by Samuel L. Jackson himself.
The game continues the story of the first part. On Kamino they continue to create clones, although only clones of Galen Marek. And one day one of them rebelled because of the desire to save his beloved Juno Eclipse.
For 5-6 hours we will punish the Imperials in every possible way. Of course, it’s fun to do, especially with better graphics, but there’s no interesting story like in the first part. Also, compared to the original, the adventure will unfold on just a few planets. Of the abilities they gave you a trick of the mind, this is of course good, but you often won’t have to use it; there are much faster and more effective methods. Well, the main innovation is two lightsabers; you really can’t feel the difference at all from the first part where there was only one sword. And to be honest, the game is practically not memorable except for the battle with Gorog and the crazy endings. And while the first part can be included in the canon, this one absolutely cannot.


The addition Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II - Battle Of Endor was released on consoles, continuing the dark ending. We go to Endor in order to prevent the rebels from disabling the shields of the Second Death Star. In addition to destroying the rebel units and the Ewoks, the smuggler duo Han and Chewie must be killed. And deal with Jedi Leia Organa In addition to this dlc, there were also small ones that let you play as Luke Skywalker in Dagobian training equipment, Obi-Wan Kenobi in battle armor from the Clone Wars, Darth Malak, Han Solo, Lando Calrissian and Admiral Ackbar.


Some interesting facts
Han Sola's death in The Force Awakens looks the same as in the Battle of Endor DLC.




In general, the game is more reminiscent of a large DLC of the undead, a full-fledged second part. It feels like it was developed without any desire (well, other than making easy profit). And the story of Galen Marek ends here and becomes a legend.

This ends the eighth episode. The next one will focus on the war between the Republic and the Sith Empire, the latest games from the independent LucasArts

Thematic positive
