An interesting and sad story about the seeds of the rebellionIt was well written with a lot of action and some great introspective moments. Starkiller remains a bit of a mystery, since most of the story is told from the POV of his droid, but enough is revealed through his actions to get a glimpse of the real man. I loved the inclusion of Bail Organa, and even Leia had a small role.I didn't like that the pencillers changed throughout the book which led to a middle section with an inferior drawing...

This is obviously a tie in book this time with the game - I was offered a copy of it from a friend who some how ended up buying two copies of? Anyway I wasnt sure what I was letting myself in for - game novelisations I always thought were the weakest of the genre of novel tie in books simply because if nothing else they are aimed at different target markets. After all when you are playing a computer game you are not thinking about the back story of a character as you pound your enemy in to obliv...

Fairly close retelling of the Video game; nothing added, a surprising amount left out, but nothing vital to the story. Just not quite as enthralling when you're reading it than when you're playing it.

This was a very interesting story that probably needs to be read twice. There was an awful lot going on but I truly enjoyed it. This how the rebel alliance was born? Wow. The art work here is also incredible.

Reading this makes me want to replay the game!

Hey, this was pretty good! And it confirms that Haden Blackman is a good Star Wars writer. The plot is suitably epic and brings a new wrinkle to the Vader, Palpatine, and how the rebellion got started. Fun new characters too. (In the foreword, it's made apparent that Lucas had a big hand in the initial conception of those characters - the story would have been much less without them.) Oh and good art too.

Well, we usually start reviews with the things we like but there are so little things I "dislike" about this that I shall start with them (minor minor minor spoilers in paragraphs 1, 4, 8)The comic, although I thought it would be more abridged, does skip some important scenes from the story like the trials at the Jedi temple or the fight with Kazdan Paratus. And I think that's it. Let's start with everything I love about SWTFU.For me, The Force Unleashed is the best story of the Star Wars univer...

While Blackman and co do a great job keeping this graphic novel within the canon of the overwhelmingly vast Star Wars universe (almost as vast as this opening sentence), ultimately the Force Unleashed reads too much like a video game script to provide any long term geek satisfaction. The subtle lengths the writers go through to ensure that you've never heard of or will hear of this apprentice is an accomplishment on its own. I won't go into it for spoiler reasons but his existence is almost enti...

I got to play the game a long time ago. This graphic novel of the Star Wars game translates well to comic book format. The drawings are done well, and its an almost word per word translation of the game. Besides that, I liked this story as an origin story as to how the rebellions against the Empire was started. Starkiller is one awesome Dark Jedi. I just wished that we got to see Darth Vader use the force like he does in Forced Unleashed in the original films.

Ugh. No.

5 starsEnjoyed this comic book featuring Starkiller and Juno. Nice to see how the Alliance was first formed. Can't wait to read Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2!!!!

This is about umpteenth time and umpteenth publisher trying to make a success from Star Wars comics in Finland. At least this time everything seems to be better than in previous times: good paper stock, good print quality and what matters most, now story works and the art is decent.I wish all the best for ReadMe with Star Wars.Timo

This a very enjoyable and nicely crafted comic which explores the depths of the video game story. Highlighted by the exquisite artwork, this is a good read for Star Wars buffs like me. Examining a time period which was left untouched for many years, this provides a closer look into the extinction of the Jedi and the formation of the rebellion.

The story here isn't bad, but it feels very rushed and only hits on some of the major plot points of the story. However, this makes me want to read the novel. So, not bad for tie in.

A good background story about the key figures and events leading up to the formation of the Rebel Alliance.

Come on, it's Star Wars. Of course it's good.

I loved this graphic novel. It is not hard for me to dislike Star Wars stories, but this one had new concepts and a very nice addition to Darth Vader's history. It also added to the story by explaining how the rebel alliance started and Senator Organa's role in the resistance. The book was so fun to read I burned through it minutes after I picked it up. I loved the artwork as well. The artwork made force power usage like a comic book should as well as lightsaber scenes and action. My complaints

This book is an okay adaptation of the video game imo. It feels a bit rushed in places. Going from fight to fight to fight can get a little confusing at times. I'd definitely recommend playing the game before listening as it helped me to be able to remember scenes visually. Favorite scenes: Starkiller fighting the exiled Jedi Masters. The one Master who's made an entire council out of junk was particularly strange and sad, while Shaak Ti & her apprentice were suitably badass. Davis' performance

I think I was expecting this graphic novel to be a more definitive version of this story than it turned out to be. I played The Force Unleashed video game when it came out, and I was expecting the graphic novel to fill in some of the blanks of the story from the game. I don't feel that it did that as much as I was expecting. There are a lot of story threads that seem underdeveloped (like Starkiller's origin). Perhaps the novelization is the definitive story.The artwork is a bit of a mixed bag. T...

Pretty typical Star Wars fare -- nothing groundbreaking, but definitely not boring. Changing the 'nature' of the Force is a bold move that creates some great effects, but also seems to cheapen Force weiders, somehow making them seem more like tyrants rather than cautious and conscientious Force users.As for plot, that was decent, but there are some gaps that made it hard to follow. Also, the whole reason for Proxy and Juno to be telling the story in the first place seems weak (not compelling).
