I've said enough about how great Star Wars was before Disney messed it up, so, I won't post all that again.What I will say is that this novel is true to the spirit of Lucas' space opera. Even if you've never played the game--I haven't--it still makes for an exciting tale from "a galaxy far, far away".

This book is what the story in the video game was SUPPOSED to be! If you've played the game and was disappointed the story wasn't as developed as it was in the first game, then you must read this novelization. When I revisit the game, I'm going to think of the book while playing it.

I kept waiting for A Flock of Seagulls' Space Age Love Song to break out.

Star Wars Legends Project #215 Background: The Force Unleashed II was written by Sean Williams, and is based on the video game of the same name (again from a story developed by W. Haden Blackman). It was published in October 2010. Williams has written half a dozen Star Wars novels, including the first in this series.The Force Unleashed II takes place about a year after the events of The Force Unleashed (my review), 1 year before the battle of Yavin. The main character is Darth Vader's secret

I really loved this book. Juno is one of the greatest characters to ever cross the pages. If you love Star Wars, this is a must read!

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 is a book about a dark assassin trained to hunt down the enemies of the empire. the first time he served his purpose and was destroyed, the second time he Rebelled and escaped the dark clutches of his former master. He escapes and looks for the one thing that seems important from his old memory, Juno. He follows leads and attempts to track the love that was stolen from him across the galaxy. When he finally finds her she is stolen from him by a cruel twist of fat...

This was entertaining and fun. You really can't go wrong with Boba Fett. The first Force Unleashed graphic novel was quite a bit better though, so this was slightly disappointing. The other disappointment for me was that the first couple pages start with a little too much sex, at least heavily implied, than I like in my Star Wars. Part of the beauty of the first graphic novel was sharing it with my kids, but with those first pages of this book, I don't feel like I can really share this one with

The Force Unleashed II was way better than the first book! I really enjoyed it!Wow, Starkiller’s hard to kill isn’t he? He just keeps on coming back to life. Just when I thought that it was the end of Starkiller… Anyway, everything about this book was better than the first. Starkiller’s character was fantastic! I loved the new problems that he had with himself. It made his character so much more interesting. I also loved the ‘is-he-a-clone’ argument. My opinion is that it depends on how we look

I was very much impressed by this one! With novels based on a game, I try to be a little lenient, because I know that the author is confined to what was done in the game. The first Force Unleashed novel was fine; it wasn't stellar, but then the game was a little linear and because of that, so was the book. But it wasn't horrible and it moved well. His next video game book, however, was awful. Fatal Alliance was choppy, badly written, and boring. So I was a little concerned about the Force Unleas...

I enjoyed this one immensely! Although again, Sean Williams suffers a bit from lack of detail in the story, particularly around the action sequences. And again, I'm assuming he was told to write the book from the perspective and expectation that the readers will most likely have played the game prior to or during the reading of said story. I for one have only played a couple of hours into the game itself before I lost intrest and moved on to something else. I enjoyed seeing the emotion in Starki...

I said this at the end of my review for The Force Unleashed II. There was no reason for a second book. The guy dead, but no we had to have a sequal and there has to be a 3rd actually. There is no way around it if you read the ending, which is bad...Spoilers below.This book has Starkiller being cloned to come back under Vadar. Ok, fine. Vadar tries to sell him in leaving the lab, gain an army (rebels) and have them come out of hiding so Vadar and the Emperor can squash them. Ok, fine. Starkiller

2010 has seen my two least favorite SW novels in...ever. TFU II being one of those books. This novel is relentless game-play cut with a psychopathic love story. It's Force Lighting peppered with an odd and constantly repetitive shallow philosophical rhetoric. Starkiller spends the whole of the novel hunting for Juno. That's fine and well. He kills relentlessly to get to her. That's fine too I guess. What was really painful was his inner dialogue. It went on and on and on with the same questions....

Haven’t read this since the game came out in 2010. I was a fan of The Force Unleashed II game. My only issue was that it was really short. The story itself was fun though. The novel greatly improves on the story, adding much needed depth and several additional scenes, including a sub plot on Mon Calamari. Rereading it now it was fun picturing elements from the new movies in this story. For instance, I pictured Death Troopers from Rogue One accompanying Boba Fett when he captured Juno Eclipse, an...

Like its predecessor, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II cannot escape its origin as a novel designed as a tie-in to a videogame. (Disclaimer - I've not played the game, so I cannot attest to how closely it cleaves to the game's storyline.) Without this knowledge, the pacing of the story would be inexplicably odd: each section has a brief setup, followed by a long action scene (that is described in a plodding "he did this; he saw that; he slashed the other" manner), and is then finished off with

I enjoyed this book much more than I did the first. It took me forever to get through the first and I was seriously debating reading the second, but am glad that I did. I really got into it and it went very quickly. I wasn't sure how they would handle the ending of the first, but it was pretty good and kept you guessing throughout the book and never actually settle it one hundred percent. There were parts that were corny and over the top, but hey that is Star Wars. Overall I liked it and would p...

This doesn't finish as well as it starts. Exciting birth pangs of the Rebellion? I'll take it! The early days of Leia's leadership in the Rebellion? Check! More Bail Organa? Definitely! If anything, I found most of this more interesting than the story of Starkiller reborn; the Rebellion's early days felt like extra bits of "Rogue One", and that's always a good thing. But the Starkiller plot takes over, as does a great deal of action writing...which eventually started to lose me. It all ends in a...

Darth Vader's secret apprentice is back with a vengeance as he goes on a quest to rediscover his identity. A great story that has twists and turns around every corner. See Yoda and Boba Fett like you've never seen them before as they play a significant role in Starkiller's quest. Vader even more mysterious in this book than he was in the first one. It is a classic combination between The Fugitive, The 6th Day, and The Empire Strikes Back. A highly recommended story to anyone who enjoyed the firs...

Best-Novel-Based-On-A-Game-EVER! (Well, in my opinion, that is) I am reeeaaaalllyy glad I got this book. It really keeps you turning the pages. The whole Starkiller/Juno romance will have you awwwing and the action will have you on the edge of your seat. You might want to read The Force Unleashed before you pick this book up.

A frustrating read. Starkiller returns from the dead as a clone, thanks to Darth Vader, breaks away from Vader's clutches (again) and the rest of the book concerns Starkillers hunt for his old pilot and 3 second lover Juno. The romance/obsession between Juno and Starkiller makes little sense considering they barely explored this in the first book and so making it the main plot in the second really stretches creditability. This recon stuff about Starkiller as the main one responsible for the star...

After reading the Force Unleashed and the Fatal Alliance, both books I found average at best, I was a little worried about reading this second installment. I was picturing our fearless and recently dead Jedi/Sith to once again go force crazy as he fought a "boss level" every third chapter, a storyline that was done to death in the first book. To my surprise and gratitude I was wrong. Sean Williams has out done himself with this one. He has woven a complex and intricate web of emotion and suspens...
