Star Wars: The Force Unleashed takes place two years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. The game follows the story of Starkiller, a young apprentice to Darth Vader who becomes disillusioned with the Emperor's motives and ultimately decides to take on his master.
The gameplay revolves around exploring various environments, completing quests, and using the Force to manipulate objects and enemies. Players can switch between two lightsaber forms, each with its own unique abilities and characteristics. The game also features a "free form" combat system, allowing players to choose their own approach to battles.
