If you’re curious about what happens in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, but don’t want to spend more than two minutes thinking about it, we’ve got you covered. We’ve compiled the key plot points into a blisteringly concise summary, complete with BOTH endings. The tale of Starkiller, aka Vader’s Secret Apprentice, is tightly woven into the films’ narrative and should not be missed by anyone with a passing interest in Star Wars lore. The biggest surprise to many will be the true origin of the Rebel Alliance, and the alternate non-canon “evil” ending is worth its weight in chrome. Yes, chrome. Just watch the damn thing and you’ll see what we mean.
