Star Wars Force Unleashed 2 DLC Takes Callous Liberties With Han Solo & Chewbacca

Tweet

There’s this video doing the rounds of some new DLC for Jedi-ing simulator and all around critical and commercial disappointment Star Wars Force Unleashed II where a certain lovable rogue with a heart of gold and his pet mutated wolverine are summarily dispatched in a way that’s meant to be callous to the characters and enforce the player’s evil persona, but actually ends up being a lot more callous to players’ psyches and just ends up enforcing George Lucas’ evil persona.

We’ll say one thing, Haden Blackman sure got out of there in the nick of time. Han Solo and Chewbacca pretty much buy the farm, is what we’re saying, but in the most off-hand and indifferent way possible. It’s not epic, it doesn’t even have the time to be sad, the whole scene kind of lies there. Romanticized and overrated as the first Star Wars movies are, they produced some amazingly memorable characters, probably the two most loved of which definitely don’t deserve the treatment they’re getting here.
