About

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force and casts players as Darth Vader’s "Secret Apprentice," unveiling new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy seen through the eyes of a mysterious new character armed with unprecedented powers.

The Switch version is a port of the Wii version with numerous differences. It retains the motion controls from the Wii version, allowing players to use the Joy-Con controllers to perform various actions like swinging the lightsaber and using Force powers. While the graphical improvements are minor, it benefits from a stable 60 FPS performance, an improvement over some older versions with frame rate issues. This version includes the Jedi Temple missions, originally DLC on other platforms. However, some iconic moments from the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, like bringing down a Star Destroyer with the Force, are simplified or presented as cutscenes. It includes a local multiplayer mode, a feature in the Wii version. Players can customize their lightsaber with different colors, hilts, and combat crystals, though some specific features from other versions, like the unstable kyber crystal, are not present

Storyline

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed follows the timeline between Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope that tells the story of a young apprentice of Darth Vader who is trained and sent out to eliminate the remaining Jedi in the galaxy.
