Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - Xbox 360

Star Wars The Force Unleashed (flawed in story?)

This game seems extremely fun. And it looks like the way you can use the force is limitless. But as I look further into the game's storyline, I learn it is about Darth Vader having a secret apprentice. In the movies, it is said that with the sith, there is only a master and an apprentice. As of that time period, The Emperor was the Master, and Darth Vader was the apprentice. If Darth Vader has an apprentice, it takes away the authenticasy of the Sith Practise. Unless, this "secrete apprentice" is hidden from the Emperor himself, I don't agree that the story is true to Star Wars. If someone could enlighten me with an answer to this, It would be much appreciated.

Well I'm not even going to comment on the fact that you reviewed this 2 months before it was even released, but I'll try to answer your question. The Sith typically have a master and an apprentice, yes, and during this game's timeline they're Sidious and Vader respectively. You play as Starkiller, who has been trained in the ways of the Force by Vader but is not a true apprentice. He's more like a thug that Vader sends out to do his dirtywork, and the Emperor doesn't know that Starkiller even exists. The Sith believe in lies and betrayal, and Starkiller is used by Vader as a means to plot a coup against the Emperor so he can be the master.

If you're at all familiar with Asaaj Ventress, who was trained in the ways of the Sith by Dooku (but wasn't a true Sith either), Starkiller is more or less the same as Ventress.
