Something Wicked This Way Comes

It seems from playing The Force Unleashed that filling a Jawa with lightening until it's about to explode and then flinging it at the nearest group of hapless Stormtroopers is not something that's likely to get old any time soon.

Yes indeed the game is full of amusing moments like this; people sucked out of windows into space (following after the deck office you used to break it in the first place), poor scavengers desperately clinging to any ledge they can grasp as you bounce them like a ball, Wookies slammed into trees until the tree falls onto them, AT-ST crushed ready to be thrown into the nearest recycling bin and that's nothing compared to what you levels you go to rearrange the faces of the Jedi you hunt down.

Then you pull a Star Destroyer out of orbit.

Now this is all good fun but it has to be said the much trumpeted storyline that bridges the two sets of films isn't all that. Now there's nothing wrong with the characters involved (the Kato like droid is a particular highlight) but rather the fact that the Emperor's dastardly plan makes no sense at all.

It also seems odd that Vader wastes the chance to overthrow his master. Why does the most powerful Jedi yet known (remember than midi-chlorian stuff?) not take the chance to take down the old man with the aid of a man who pulls Star Destroyers out of orbit for kicks? It seems a strange decision at best.

Still it's a entertaining way to pass a few hours even if it makes you wonder why someone who basically bitch-slaps Vader and the Emperor by the end is never mentioned by anyone not even a few years later. You'd think people would remember that kind of thing. Maybe pass a few pointers to Luke.
