The Force Unleashed (TFU) storyline occurred between Star Wars III & IV and if you had taken the Light ending, than the timeline continued as normal (as seen in the films), but if you are like me and went down the path of the dark side, than you are in for a treat with The Ultimate Sith Edition. It contains the original TFU plus Jedi Temple which was previously only available via download. Also, two brand new levels – the first based on Tatooine and the other on Hoth. If that wasn’t enough, you also have new costumes for the Secret Apprentice as well as new character models allowing the gamer to play as one of the many iconic figures from the Star Wars Universe.
‘Jedi Temple’ follows Darth Vader’s apprentice’s search for information about his father on Coruscant, whereas in a bizarre and liberating way, Tatooine and Hoth continues from the end of TFU where the Apprentice replaces Darth Vadar and becomes the Emperor's apprentice. This divergence from Star Wars lore has allowed freedom and imagination to create a brand new alternate timeline where everything looks the same but is slightly out of sync or in this case – darker.
In Tatooine, the Emperor has sent his new apprentice to seek out and remove Obi-Wan Kenobi from the scene and in your quest to locate him, you will visit places such as Jabba’s Palace and even encounter one of Star Wars' most famous bounty hunters – Boba Fett. Following directly on, Hoth (much like Empire Strikes Back), your mission now is to crush the rebellion where you will encounter Luke Skywalker but because of previous events in his life, this Luke will not be the one you remember from the films. Like I said, this is the 'What If?' timeline.
I could tell you more about the storyline but I believe this will spoil the experience for you, needless to say, if you are a big Star Wars fan like myself, you will notice the subtle differences between Tatooine / Hoth and Star Wars IV and V. They are ever so slight but twisted to the dark side, which makes this storyline unique, and if you are not a Star Wars fan but enjoyed TFU for the great story and gameplay, than you will be even more impressed by the slicker, smoother graphics and game engine.
Overall, TFU is quite a bargain as you get TFU plus all of the downloadable content and the exclusive Hoth level which can only be played via the Sith Edition. For me, this is one game I am really looking forward to playing.
