Of all the lazy ways to bring back Starkiller they came up with this:
"Knowing where the sequel picks up requires a brief history lesson on the ending of the original. If you don't recall, The Force Unleashed offered players a choice: kill Darth Vader and serve at Emperor Palpatine's side (the non-canonical dark side ending) or take the good guy route by going after Palpatine. The latter option resulted in the protagonist Starkiller sacrificing himself to let his rebel accomplices escape, lying dead as the game drew to a close. The Force Unleashed II picks up the narrative thread from this option, the canonical ending from the original. You've been cloned by Vader's forces and are currently being housed in a prison cell on Kamino. "
Yeah. Clones. Jesus H I mean REALLY!? For fucks sake, that is the worst plot development ever. THe clones were ok in episode II because they weren't bringing anyone back to life, in the Dark Empire comics, ressurection via clone was more "providing a body for the emperor's spirit" which in itself is kind of dumb but was ok in context, but this is just bullshit.
A perfectly good ending ruined by having the sacrifce nulled.
