Product Description

Product Description
A gripping action-adventure novel set during the previously unexplored "Dark Times" between Episode III: "Revenge of the Sith" and Episode IV: "A New Hope". The Jedi order has been crushed under the devious hand of Emperor Palpatine. A new order has risen, one that seeks to dominate the galaxy using the iron first of Darth Vader But Vader cannot control an entire galaxy alone. He has selected his own apprentice from among those gifted with Force-sensitive abilities. As the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance, this new apprentice must choose their own destiny...This is the official tie-in novel to the Spring 2008 next-generation videogame from LucasArts, which will be launched with a multi-million pound promotional budget!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, 29 Oct 2008
This comic is excellent, its a bit too short as i finished it in literally 5 to 10 minutes but its great fun, the prints are clear and imaginative, in the short space of reading it it really grips you and it finishes on a good note it links to the force unleashed video game very well except some of the minor perhaps less important parts from the game weren't seen in the comic and at times it can be a bit confusing but it's great fun and i think if you're a star wars fan or not you still enjoy it and if you played the video game or not you can still enjoy it. Probably if you haven't played the game it will be more enjoyable and entrancing. It's also just a great collectible and a great interpretation of a great saga and the chapter in Star wars!

3.0 out of 5 stars Same story, new faces, impossible powers, 31 Aug 2008
By ShriDurga (Japan) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
The Force Unleashed is about a young man with Force powers so immense he can whip Vader and the Emperor simultaneously. Based on a video game in which you get to play this Force-wielding giant, the conceptual emphasis is on action and playability, rather than character or drama. Consequently the graphic novel reads like a series of set pieces, big fight scenes with a bit of exposition to tie them together. Ostensibly the plot concerns the inception of the Rebellion, but as with the beginnings of most things in the Star Wars universe, the origin of the Alliance is more than it seems.

Thematically, TFU cleaves closely to the SW universe formula - young man spends his life doing bad and redeems himself in the end with a tiny act of good. The orphaned Starkiller is raised as Darth Vader's secret apprentice, an amoral assassin who dispatches with equal skill characters on both sides of the war. Somewhere along the way he switches to being a good guy with a conscience and a love interest, though it's not really clear how either develops. Neither is why the leaders of the Rebellion trust anyone who shows up at their door expressing an interest in sacking the Empire.

The artwork is a mixed bag, with Brain Ching opening and closing the story with some finely illustrated chapters. Unfortunately, as with his stint on Knights of the Old Republic, he seems unable to work fast enough to complete an entire project - or takes assignments with impossible deadlines - and so we get a couple of less skilled artists working on the middle sections.

There is a novel of the same name covering the exact same story. I haven't yet read it, but given author Sean Williams' track record (as coauthor of one of the worst chapters of the New Jedi Order), and given that the graphic novel isn't anything worth bragging about, I'd wager the novel is as limp, or with more extraneous material, even limper. My suggestion would be to unleash your own force on the game. That is, if you have a console. PC users will have to settle for the graphic novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great artwork, good story., 9 Jun 2009
By Ms. B. J. Hewitt (Stoke, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There is some great artwork in this comic and the story is very interesting. I liked the game and enjoyed the book, so the comic was the next step for me. Some people may question parts of the story that don't seem to fit in with the other Star Wars stories, but if you take it just as a good story, you'll enjoy it.
