Anything written or in anything but the movies is non canon and can't be considered the be all end all truth though. Lucas can change stuff at anytime like he did with the clone wars cartoons. The first ones (in my mind vastly superior ones) by Tatakovsky are considered not part of Star Wars anymore when he decided to do his own series. And Ep II and III rewrote MUCH of what was known about Boba Fett's history and previous Sith. Lucas himself said the Plaguis story was false and Palpatine's way of manipulating an emotional kid. So all I'm saying is if ya didn't see it in the movies just take it with a grain of salt. The books and games are fun though to a point.

You want to argue semantics over whether something that is science fiction is real or fake? Interesting...

It's just a resource to me and seemingly a well researched and written resource.

Wasn't arguing it was called discussing it and I'm just telling you what the creator of the thing said. I really don't give two shits about Star Wars anymore.

The Star Wars film series has spawned other media including books, television series, video games, and comic books. These supplements to the film trilogies comprise the Star Wars Expanded Universe, and have resulted in significant development of the series' fictional universe. These media kept the franchise going in the interim between the film trilogies. In 2008, Star Wars: The Clone Wars was released to theaters as the first ever worldwide theatrical Star Wars film outside of the main trilogies. It was the franchise's first animated film, and was intended as an introduction to the Expanded Universe series of the same name, a 3D CGI animated series based on a previous 2D animated series of a similar name.

Doesn't seem like any of them are completely unrelated to the movies to me.

Windu, I believe, is credited with having created Form 7? of lightsaber combat, which means he probably could have owned Yoda...It's my understanding that on the council, Mace was the muscles, Yoda the brains...Probably the most powerful human Jedi ever, sans Anakin and all his natural limbs...

To you yes. This isn't religion. If you want to take the books as fact that's within your rights. I'm just going by what Lucas said.

Also, AFAIK, the "Clone Wars" animated shows do in fact tie into the "Revenge of The Sith" movie.

Well, I rented the Force Unleashed II game (for the PS3) and I am quite impressed. The graphics and controls are much better than the original. I am blown away by some of the rain/water effects and surroundings. For 2006 technology they sure made it look pretty. They simplified a lot of the force upgrades compared to the original as well.

Even as powerful as he is there are enemies that do pose quite a challenge throughout the game so it's not like it's a cake walk throughout.

Edit- Just finished it. Overall quite a good ending as you get to choose your (Starkiller's) destiny. Of course that doesn't play at all into what a third game will be.

Do they allow you to control Vader again..?

No. You control the Starkiller clone the entire game. The good thing is that he's quite powerful from the start. Here's the IGN review: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/113/1132212p1.html

I agree with their review. They give high ratings for the graphics and sound but complain about the gameplay and lasting appeal. The game is very short oddly enough. It's worth a rental but I wouldn't buy it until it hit the $19.99 price.

Not sure why they cannot make a multiplayer mode. I remember Jedi Knight II had that and it was quite fun.
