Full Series The Force Unleashed and it's role in Rebels

TFU 3 got dropped after the series was no longer considered canon.

 

TFU 3 got dropped when TFU 2 bombed.

 

doesn't matter.

 

Tbh, I would rather see Shira Brie, complete with the "romancing Luke and then betraying him" plot.

 

We're a little far from Luke in Rebels. We could, however, get that in a novel.

 

One thing that was really interesting in TFU was the presence of all these specialized stormtroopers. It really gave you a feel of how much of a "combined arms" type of force the Empire was. We already saw how TCW had expanded on existing clone trooper types, so I guess it wouldn't be a surprise if Rebels gets some inspiration from TFU for this aspect.

 

The ST seems to borrowing on that idea.

 

Regardless, I'd still rather have Shira Brie than Starkiller. There's not enough female darksiders in Star Wars.

 

I can agree with you there. I'd like to get more Dark Siders period.

 

I really liked Starkiller, but there's no doubt he was a bit of a generic dude guy hero. Still, the story of Vader finding him as a child and raising him in secret as a weapon against the Emporer was pretty cool and compelling. And I enjoyed the equal and opposite trajectory of his path to the Light Side.

I'd like to see him show up, but ideally without so much of the "making Vader look like a complete chump" thing.

But yeah, the idea of a secret apprentice, the sacrifice in defiance of Vader, the family crest. All of that could still be utilized.

 

Oh, I still think Vader will have a secret assassin/apprentice in Rebels.

 

If the goal is to just give him a secret apprentice so that he has one, then count me out. If the apprentice is secret, there should at least be some meaningful story around it.

 

This.

 

I'm in full support of 3 if it's done well. Who knows, they could even make it canon.

 

The Empore should definitely be shown with more specialized troops. The typical Stormtrooper can't handle everything. Especially not with the rising insurgent threat.

 

I don't want to see anything from the force unleashed...i strongly disliked it and thought the ending of the first one was a compete rip off of ROTJ...i remember throwing the game like a frisby out the wondow because of it...starkiller was too absurdly powerful in a galaxy where suposedly Anakin is the Chosen one...

 

After seeing the Mortis Family in action, Starkiller's abilities became even more reasonable. Force powers always waxed and waned at plot convenience by the writer/director anyway, which makes SW kinda annoying.

 

Fans would like a TFU inspired moment in Star Wars #2, where Vader attempts to bring down Han's captured AT-AT with the Force alone, he nearly managed it to but the walker's canons fired by Han which nearly killed Vader.

 

That sounds awesome.

 

It is. Vader is seriously BA in all the marvel comics so far and it's glorious.

 

Ah, the beauty of the new canon.

 

Regarding point 2.: I really liked how it was the Emperor behind his own downfall. It was similar to his manipulations during the Clone Wars, playing both sides to further his own goals. Except this time it backfired thanks to Starkiller.

 

Starkiller doesn't necessarily need to appear...

But I think Rahm Kota would be a good addition for the show somewhere down the line. His militia was an interesting addition to the canon, and could help give the Rebels some extra firepower.

Show him around seasons 3 or 4, when we're closer to 3-2BBY.

 

I really like the ship designs in TFU:

Imperial MAAT(captured models were used by Kota's militia):







Imperial Dropship:

 

I could see Starkiller and Kota being part of another Rebel Cell. But then they go on a great mission and has to sacrifice themselves for our Phantom Rebels to suceed with some mission.
