"A boy? Months of attacking imperial targets and Vader sends a boy to fight me?"

This is so fucking bad-ass.

Sam Witwer is so fucking cool. Truly a gift to the Star Wars universe.

I love how Darth Vader's body language really gets across how he is just like a child who the Emperor is like an evil step-father to. He hates him, but he also fears him enough to follow his commands.

I like that, during the mission summaries before you leave—the first one being right after the first fight with Kota—they play the music that plays when Anakin finds out that Shmi has been kidnapped in Attack of the Clones (and the main menu music for the Revenge of the Sith game), making a parallel between that moment and the fight with Kota, as the Attack of the Clones moment is the first catalyst for Anakin's turn to the dark side, and the fight with Kota is the first catalyst for Starkiller's turn to the light side.

But I hate how stunned you get when hit. The enemies will just lay in on you for 6 hits and you can't do anything.

And fighting Jedi is always fun. Unless it's that small fucker. That whole first scrapyard level should have been scrapped.

One thing I never loved about these games is that the dark side endings always had you kill Darth Vader. Fuck that.

And the Jedi Temple DLC mission may not be the best level ever, but I think they should have kept it in the main game. And I'm disappointed they cut the other three PS2/Wii exclusive levels.

I like the moment of Starkiller almost sort of kinda flirting with his master's daughter.

The Sith DLC's opening crawls is the coolest ways to start a Star Wars game DLC. And I love that Starkiller's Sith outfit has a bunch of lightsabers, like he collects them.

This game is so fucking insane, how was this ever considered canon?
