My favorite moment of Sam Witwer's portrayal of Palpatine in this is when he said, "...andthenyouwilldie." It just made me laugh at how fast he delivered that line.

It's sort of poetic justice that Palpatine created the rebel alliance. That sort of large scale chess play got him to power but he underestimated his pawns and overestimated his own abilities.

One line I love from the Wii version of this game is between Starkiller and Proxy on a mission to the Jedi Temple were after Proxy is done talking to him as Darth Vader which goes like this. P: Ugh, I hate being him. S: I think he does too.

One thing you didn't mention is his exchange with Koda; "Are you insane! It's massive!" "You're a jedi, boy! Size means nothing to you!!!" I felt it was really the moment when Koda started to regain his spirit. He actually sounds a lot more enthusiastic in the wii version and you can tell that Marik's potential and efforts have really made him love the force again. Before then he seemed to hate the force as it was the cause of his misery but now he again sees how awe inspiring and amazing the force really is. I also like how the wii version is so different with the inclusion of a Bespin mission.

I won't be able to watch the rest of this video until I finish work. So far I am loving the discussions. I would really love you guys to cover KOTOR 1&2, Jedi Outcast and Academy. My personal favourite Star Wars games!

Keep up the good work, guys!

I like how in the novel Starkiller doesn't really compete with Palpatine. He just threw a piece of debris at Palpatine while he was focused on Kota, the Palpatine pretended to be defeated. It shows that Starkiller isn't some overpowered force god so many people believe him to be.

Thank you for clarifying that Galen redirected the star destroyer and it was already falling. Galen Marek also was to the point of passing out in the novel from exhaustion.

I would love to hear you guys discuss the Prequels at some point.

2:20 - Some have theorized that Galen actually did die and that Vader brought him back with essence transfer. 5:38 - Glad you mentioned this. I see a lot of people overlook/ignore this detail in vs debates. 8:09 - Actually, the TFU campaign guide notes that Vader had planned to overthrow the Emperor with Galen but it was Sidious finding out about Galen ( as in he didn't know about him prior to that point ) that caused Vader to betray him. 14:13 - Rahm indicated that he knew who Galen was on Nar Shaddaa at the end of the novel and Galen seems to believe Rahm has a strong enough connection to sense his use of the Darkside ( Edit: Ah, you cover this later. ). Juno: "You always knew who he was, didn't you?" she asked him. Rahm: He nodded. "I suspected, yes." Galen's Thoughts: "Glancing around for Kota, he was relieved to see that the general was nowhere nearby. Now he could summon the full power of the dark side." - The Force Unleashed. 22:52 - Ooooh. I never knew that. Mind elaborating on that here in the comments? 47:10 - Should note that while I'm sure such a feat wouldn't be easy to accomplish for anyone, Galen had expended a decent amount of energy beforehand ( in the comic ) powering a cannon which destroyed a structure that dwarfed Star Destroyers. 53:03 - Couldn't agree more Connor. 1:08:17 - Just going to point out here that Galen didn't "give himself completely to the Lightside of the Force" until after he had engaged in his Force lock with Sidious when he saw Juno and the Rebels about to be gunned down. The power that made his feats with the Darkside look like he was a child was the blast that allowed Juno and the Rebels to escape.

I love this game and this podcast. Keep up the great work!

Need Darth Bane Trilogy

I love Sam's performance as Palpatine. idk why but its extremely entertaining.

You guys have GOT to do Knights of the Old Republic after this.

An amazing Episode. Evannova95 and Jennaria1 any chance of you guys working together on doing Grand Master Luke Skywalker vs Darth Krayt(Legends Material Only please). if you do the Fight between them too it would be an amazing and Epic versus Episode between 2 of the Few Most powerful fighters that can take the Emperor in a fight and not end and possibly defeat him.

I don't know why people complain about the whole "your body in the vacuum of space" thing, the science is mostly right, in that if you were exposed to the vacuum of space you wouldn't explode, you would most likely die of oxygen deprivation.

I have to say, Sam Witwer is my third favorite Palpatine: 1. Ian McDiarmid (he's the original. And, when he's not hamming it up in Revenge of the Sith, he is one of the BEST parts of the prequels) 2. Tim Curry (The Clone Wars season 5 finale; the Lost Stories. It's mostly a case of being blown away. I went in expecting one thing- Tim Curry to do his Tim Curry thing- and I got something else, and I was just awestruck by it) 3. Sam Witwer 4. Ian Abercrombie (The Clone Wars up until his death mid-season 5) 5. Nick Jameson (Clone Wars microseries)

I would love to see how Palpatine would react to meeting Frieza

18:37 is that also possibly done as a backup for if Vader died to a Jedi. Palpatine: Oh great, Darth Vader died... right, who's the most powerful Inquisitor?

Jensaarai, just a few notes for Palpatine and Vader in Rebels. Palpatine doesn't know the Rebels the same way we do. He only knows them by their actions within the empire. He has been watching for some time and has seen this Rebel Cell: - Evade both Tarkin and Thrawn, which means they are capable of strategy when necessary. - Kill several Inquisitors, who were there to take out anyone below knight status, so he knows they could be a threat in the future - United several cells and have both Mon Mothma and Saw Gerrara on their side, who definitely are worth his attention. - Summoned Bendu, a giant Force Demon and other force spirits, so he might also fear what happens if they get someone like Bendu on their side. - Conquer a Sith Temple and steal a Dark Side Holocron -Of course we know they didn't do it on their own, but his only Intel on the matter came from Vader who showed up long after that business was settled- Also remember that Palpatine has always wanted to replace Vader. And Ezra would be a good choice because a- he has strong potential in the force, b- he is young and immpressionable, which means he could easy to manipulate and indoctrinate into the Sith ways, unlike Vader who already has been shown to want to overthrow his master. c- he's been working with the rebellion, so he could have information on their military and how to take them down easier. d- if he's had the sith holocron for some time, there's a good chance he will already have some knowledge of the dark side (which we know he has and he does) Overall, it makes sense he would get involved.

Something that I recently noticed is that on the Xbox 360 version of the game is that if you just stand around and don’t block, Galen occasionally uses tutaminus like Vader and obsorbs it or sends it back. i went back through the novel and found instances that could be read as him doing the same .( though in this case I fully admit I may have misunderstood what I read. For your own research I found these on p32, 61,141, and 268.) I don’t have a ps2/psp/ wii version to see if that is included there, but I thought I’d point it out if the fanalysis council uses him in a future video and wanted to look further in to it. I understand if you don’t but Galen Marek is my all time favorite Star Wars character and the idea that his abilities in defense are stronger than I though makes future vs matches intriguing.

Star killer pulls a captain America and gets a serium when he gets rebuilt

Great episode guys, I was wondering if you could do an episode analyzing all 7 forms and talking about strengths and weaknesses of each form. I loved Connors videos about the forms and I’d like to see all of your opinions of them.

Just one note-palpatine does use a lightsaber in the PSP version-and he is extremely difficult to fight in that version-I recall dying at least like 8 times when playing it on PSP.

Juno and Galen should have gone to yoda or obi wan when they were looking for Jedi

Great episode both of u!!

On the Wii version of the game, the player doesn't break out of the prison station and instead it is a cut scene. I never realized that he was given cybernetic enhancements in that station along with being revived. He returns to Nar Shadda to find Rahm Kota as that was the last place he was and the player gets to explore a little bit and kill various thugs and criminals at a pretty cool bar. And that's also where the player first meets and fights the Shadow Guard. You're comments on them are very interesting as they only appeared in this game. I wish that there was a couple more materials out there that expanded on them. Not too much to take away their mystique, but I would like to see them in action more. The mechanics in this game are interesting compared to the Wii version. While the purge troopers and jet troopers are equally tough in both cases, the difference is how to handle them. The purge troopers in either versions are extremely tough. Lightning is good because it is the only long range weapon the player has other than debris and explosives. You are forced to think tactically and it's best to separate them and attack individually. For the jet troopers, lightning won't send them careening away to explode. It instead short-circuits their packs to when they have to drop down to the ground, but the player only has a few seconds to close the distance and deal with them with their lightsaber before they jump back into the air. They also carry repeating blaster rifles that can bring down the player's health if they're not putting up a continued defense and flame throwers for close range. For the Wii, Galen doesn't return to his family home and has a vision of his father there. Instead he returns to the Jedi Temple (Vader had ordered him to go through Jedi Trials as he is training himself to deal with Jedi) and it is in the Jedi High Council room where he experiences the vision and fights his father to save Vader. The dialogue is rather interesting between the two of them. I always wondered when the Vader mission to Kashyyyk takes place in comparison to _Dark_ _Lord_ . There was also no skyhook in the other game. You kill the Imperial overseer (or governor, I'm not sure which) and rescue the princess. You do get to help a wookie insurrection but it's not that important to the plot. It's similar for Felucia in that there are some areas that there changed in the levels. In the other game, the player doesn't travel through the giant sarlaac but the Empire does have a presence. He finds Bail Organa by locating his guards who tell them where to find the senator and who had captured him. Speaking of Maris Brood, I remember around the time of the game there were quite a few lightsaber build-sets that featured her tonfa handles. Just like for Kashyyyk, Bespin, and Felucia, on Raxus Prime there is a change compared to other games. There is no PROXY boss fight against Galen Marek but instead it is another Shadow Guard. You're comments on this fight and on Maul were rather interesting as is your analysis on the falling star destroyer that Galen Marek brings down. 56:57 Lol Evannova, I don't think I've ever seen you be sassy. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. I also like how we see this conversation go on by the lighting and shadows on Jensaarai's room. By this time only half of his face is lightened and the other is covered in shadow and I really like it.

I was a bit disappointed that you didn't mention how Galen takes Vader down in the novelization, i.e. with strategy and psychological warfare rather than brute Force.

I remember my first time I figured out there was the alternate fight with Vader at the end I was more than a vet player and Vader had me on the verge of breaking the game but the victory was so sweet

18:15 I once tried force throwing the Shadow Guard off the Bespin platform, he just reappeared behind me

The death star is the size of a SMALL moon so around the size phobos deimos and the minor bodies in our solar system the Death star 2 is about twice the size.

Purge droids are like mini bosses

Wow, this came out really fast

Great video guys, what format do you use to create vesus matches

Listening to your guys' review, I'm kinda curious... did anyone use lightning shield? It was a cool ability, but I didn't use it after its initial unlock. Even on later playthroughs, I upgraded it to try it out, but I still didn't use it. Again, it's a cool ability, but aside from that, I felt like the game didn't really have a use for it like it did lightning or the other force powers.

Maris is even more insane then paradas was

The emperors twin brother is in Harry Potter

Antoine Bandele during the Star Destroyer quick time event: "I fucking hate this game."

You have to use lightning to know where maris is

Wait, with the enhancements, would Galen be able to procreate, or rather how much of him is still human?

Great video, keep it up, also knowing how similar marek and Maul are is a galen marek vs Darth maul feasible in the future?

Also the PS2 version palps uses a lightsaber and is pretty terrifying

Do you think Disney would be doing a better job with Star Wars if Michael Eisner were in charge.

I enjoyed this review a lot, basically. It was felt like reminiscing about a piece of my adolescence. As a kid I had played the PS2 version and wasn't even aware of these little nuances between consoles. Nice work guys. But seriously that was a lot of basically's. I only bring it up because I remember Jensaari had mentioned he wanted to work on becoming a better orator, and it was so prolific towards the end it took me out of the conversation.

If Darth Vader is incapable of using force lighting do to his suit. How does Galen learn to use it, let alone as well as Palpatine?

A little question I always had about the scene where Starkiller wakes up on the operating table was after Vader said "We need a distraction." and he reaches out for the red release button, but starkiller looks scared before he presses the button, why?

What will be the next episode about?

Yo Evan and I got the same DualShock 3 Camo controller!

Great commentary guys. It's good to watch new stuff from you guys. For Jensaraai1, I've noticed that you have a pet phrase "it's like", specially when sometimes you end up saying it two or three times in a sentence. I'm just mentioning it because it is something I think you may want to work on. Have a nice day.

To quote the emperor if your not with me you are against me since all dark side users turn on each other then according to shaak ti then the only one the sith can depend on is them selfs

17:45 while I agree the inquisitors in rebels aren’t very interesting or powerful ( with the exception of the grand inquisitor of season 1, voiced by legendary Jason Isaacs) except for jerric and his group the original inquisitors suck too. Jerrec is a fun character with a fun group, but he’s the only thing interesting about the group in legends. Lumiya and Sedriss from dark empire are also the only two interesting characters below Vader post ROTJ. I happily admit that legends inquisitors were more powerful, they weren’t much more powerful ( or interesting). So I don’t really mind the inquisitors in canon ( though they are diet can dark siders)

Ok, the Purge troopers were not that bad. Then again, I didn't find this game that hard in gen except the Darth Vader boss fight. That was insane but so much fun.

Mel Gibson = Palpatine
