Fun fact - you can lock onto enemies which allows you to both focus your attacks on them and dodge their attacks. The game does not tell you this for some reason. :)
I love dat part of the game. Just finding cool mechanics and blowing your mind. If you force grab a mini gun it becomes a friendly turret or grab a guy and throw the lightsaber it does an insane amount of damage
My personal favorite is when you force grab a guy and hover over anything, they will grab the thing and hold on for dear life, they will also grab other NPCs and you can make a monkey chain of stormtroopers.
Out of the whole Kashyyk sequence i always found hilarious that the officer doesn't even ask, or think at all He just sees a child and immediately sets up a firing line for execution. "Troopers! You know lord Vader's youngling policy."
@@vincentmarcellino7183 Too bad they don't make them like this anymore. This is what I want from a Star Wars game. We can have cool souls like saber combat but they don't need to strip our force powers down so much like they did in the new EA ones. The whole point of wanting to be a Jedi is to use a light saber and the force.

@@doommarine1667 My friends and I played it on that. Yeah it's not fun, only did it for the achievements. Kazdan Paratus is straight up impossible without cheesing and stunlocking because he kills you in 4 hits and takes an ungodly number of swings to kill. Also he blocks after the first swing if you don't stun him.

The nostalgia kicking in already. I played this game day in day out and loved it so much and still do. Thank you so much for playing this and bringing back some of the best memories of my not so great childhood. This video just made my day ^^
@@xanebateup8069 understandable, that part is definitely really aggravating, even on the easier difficulty. At least I think it had different difficulties, if I remember correctly lol
I love how in this game when you play as Darth Vader he deliberately doesn't have a walk cycle. Just an aggressive march cycle. Every detail screams "practiced master of the force."
It's kinda crazy to see how different this looks compared to the Wii version, even the level design is totally different, which was fun in its own way because to attack, you had to physically swing the remote
I remember playing the ps2 version of the game. Don’t know if that version and the Wii’s share the same level design but It was much different from this version
@@sir_fuckwit Darth Nihilus from one of the Bioware Star Wars games can devour worlds with Force drain. Legends was wack af, you have force users who could jedi mind trick an entire planet worth's of people as well as Jedi who could manipulate black holes and Sith Lords who could cause supernovas. Star Wars old canon characters were on Dragonball Z drugs.
@@sir_fuckwit Darth Nihilus, was a tear in the force the could only live by consuming the life force of things, or something like that, dude straight up eats planets for nourishment
Yeh. Starkiller is probably one of the strongest characters around the time at which his game takes place, but once you go outside of the scope of the movies you start getting utterly absurd stuff.
Back when this was canon, this game just brought something new to the table in Star Wars. I mean Vader always betraying the Emperor was something I absolutely loved. Saving someone's son long before he saved his own, chills. And the last fight seeing how truly powerful Vader is, goosebumps.
@@spacezombie13 Which is a bit of a head scratcher when one remembers that he had a very considerable hand in the development of Force Unleashed and a few other Star Wars projects. Heck, he put Shadows of the Empire references in the edition addition of A New Hope
For some strange reason, my child brain loved repeatedly impaling storm troopers and killing them in the most brutal ways I could lol. I love the nostalgia of this game.
I used to pick up stormtroopers and deliberately dangle them close to crates or railings or other stormtroopers and then laugh as they desperately tried to hang on for dear life before just flinging them into the sky. I think this game just has a tendency to bring out people's sadistic sides...
Felushia was such a painful round. I remember watching Clone Wars and seeing this planet. I was like "not this fucking hell hole" This game literally made me hate a planet
I remember hating Felucia too when I was younger, but I've just finished it for the second time and honestly, it's pretty easy. The last level was the only slightly difficult one, probably due to stormtroopers suddenly hitting like a fucking rancor on steroids.
Oh my gosh dude I have the "Reach out with the force and grip that destroyer!" line DRILLED into my head since it took me probably over 2 hours of non-stop attempts (including the tie fighter waves) to get that thing down on mouse and keyboard... I have just remembered an absolute nightmare thanks to that.
especially since with mouse and keyboard you had to constantly move down the mouse because the did not implement the mouse movement correctly for quicktime events like lifting columns and pulling the destroyer out of the sky, because with controller you just have to put the stick down
I wish they would make another game with this play style, I can't imagine how much more amazing the environmental interactions and destruction could be with current gen hardware as the baseline.
The lightning ball was bad though because it just drained all your force energy. Should’ve just used the force lightning and the lightning saber combos, it was free damage because it constantly stuns them. Mix it up with a couple of force pushes too. Whenever you did a force push in a saber combo it never used up and force energy. Same thing went for the lightning combos too.
I was 6 when I played this. And I just picked up a couple storm troopers and electrocuted them and force push them into a bigger group. Because I was a stupid genius with games back then. I knew the basic controls almost instantly. But knew no combos and just messed around to make my one special stuff
I really hope they remaster this game for newer consoles. I used to loveee this game. another thing I loved was that the different colors would change some damage output of the lightsaber
@@Suchmymimus I'm playing it right now, it's free on PS Plus. I'm really sceptic about most games, especially EA titles. But one can't deny that Respawn delivered in this case. It's the Star Wars game people wanted for years
The difference in gameplay between the PS2 version and the PS3/Xbox version is insane, being able to lift the troopers around like rag dolls and seeing them grab onto others and objects around them amazed me also being able to slice the droids in half like a lightsaber is supposed to do was mind blowing at the time
i played the psp version and than years later the pc version and missed a lot of story and also the fact that you cant lift stationary turrets and let them shoot for you!
I remember when this game came out when I was in middle school. I fucked myself up so bad because I played it from 4pm to around 3am and had to be up by 6am for the bus! Super fond memories! Thank you for a blast to the past!
This game changes so much depending on which version you play. I have the ps2 version and the opening level is COMPLETELY different and takes place at night.
@Cthulhu Yeah. Back when I didn't realize devs made alternate versions of games I kept looking up content for this game but EVERYTHING was different. I was so confused. No matter what video I looked up none of it matched the game I played so for like a whole year I was just wondering what the heck was going on. Eventually I realized this was a common thing in games.
@@sandornagy3484 nope, it's an entirely different game made by different ppl. Back then they didn't slap a half assed port that runs poorly and looks terrible on weak hardware, they actually made unique versions with the hardware in mind.
the force unleashes series was great because you really got to live out that fantasy of being a jedi/sith. just absolutely tearing though everything in your path like it was paper and being a one man army
I remember playing this game on the Wii and it was one of the most fun things ever. Impaling stormtroopers, burning them in lava, throwing enemies into each other and being Vader in the beginning and killing everyone.
@@thomasdawicki141 Interestingly - although I'm sure this was unintentional - this covers what the difficulty of doing such would realistically be. Lightsaber battles? Sure, Jedi get into them all the time. Even Kazdan and his batshit fighting style was overall something Starkiller could do... but pulling down an ISD from orbit with Force Pull? That's gonna be difficult not just to do, but to figure out HOW to do.
20:19 I fully sympathize; even over a decade later, I remember how much I hated this boss, especially doing it on the hardest difficulty because this was during my obsessive, psychotic, achievement-obsessed phase. And the force-immune droids are still bullshit.
This game is legit amazing, everything feels really satisfactory and brutal, plus Starkiller was declared too badass so Disney had to make him non-canon
@@SkintSNIPER262 Imagine being trained by Darth Vader the kid must be so proud or Darth Vader was just looking for another young king to slaughter once he had decent training and backfired
I don't know if it's present in this version, but in the Wii version, Starkiller could Force Choke people. Wasn't too useful, outside of a couple of boss fights, since like all force moves it leaves you exposed, but it was cool to be able to pull off the iconic move.
@@thesussybaka7733 THAT move was *really* useful. Definitely remember especially using it a ton on any enemy with a jetpack because it did a lot of damage and they couldn't dodge or block it
I remember playing this on my DSi. Imagine this, but in 244p. It had no voice acting and only subtitles because of how limited the memory was. I still played it until I unlocked all the clothes and lightsaber colors.
Oh man, the first time I played this on my ps3 was amazing. I just kept tossing people into star fighters as they flew by (when the opportunity would arise), I wish all this was Canon because seeing a Starkiller and Rham Kota duo in live action would be so cool Sam did an amazing job with portraying the character, dude Aced the role especially with his voice acting.
If you could, check out the Switch version in a few weeks when it comes out. It's a port of the wii/PS2 version which includes some differences in the story as well as a duel mode similar to the Revenge of the Sith game.
I played this on the Wii and loved it primarily because I felt like a Jedi swinging the Wii controller around slashing stormtroopers to pieces. Got so good at the swordplay I could out-fight the bosses.
Just something about stealing the turret from the storm trooper at 17:51 absolutely destroyed me, i could not stop laughing at how helpless he looked as you just took it away from him lmao
If you were on a lower difficulty it would give you a bunch of tool tips that would make the game rather easy. Also I never saw you do any upgrades and that would be useful
I love that this contains one of the 4 (I think) times that Shaak Ti dies, Once in clone wars, Once in a deleted scene, Once in this game &…………I don’t remember the last one
I'm getting so much enjoyment from this because I remember my wife sitting and watching beat all of these levels with ease. Tbf though, I had memorized the entire game by the time I got married.
There are many characters in the EU that make starkiller look weak, the EU version of Luke is the most commonly known too bad Disney butchered him in canon makes me wish we had never gotten any new star wars movies
the second game does improve the mechanics tremendously and it's more violent lol definitely want to see Kev play the second one lol I want his reactions XD
Eh I liked the combo and power gain in the first one better as you had combos that straight up launched enemies in the air and then the saber combos kept going midair. Made me smile at how skillful Starkiller was with a saber. In the second one, they want you to do a lot more pre scripted button presses that really hinder the variation of how to kill enemies. I don’t want to kill three carbonite war droids the same way each time game, maybe I want to press B to force push them and then thunder grenade them to get a bigger explosion. Too bad they removed a lot of the combos, but grapple kills were cool I guess.
Still has to be my favorite game. I remember paying on the Xbox 360. I’ve beaten the game on every difficulty, and it was the only game I would really ever play on the console. Best game ever!
Your amusement at the beginning with the vader segment is a reminder to me that the force unleashed series is my favorite representation/implementation of force powers in games so far. fallen order is a close second. the 2004 game Psi-ops gets a special mention lol.
So fun tip, on the ship where you can input codes, type LIGHTSABER in and you could have max lightsaber damage. It's something that only gives you a function that you can't really get unless using certain kyber crystals. It doesn't feel cheaty as it does not one shot anyone (besides the Canon fodder). Though I don't know if this works on your version of the game.
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400 nah, just no upgrades, don't know if he even went to the customisation menu, the guy never even changed his lightsaber colour
There's like three different versions of this game, PS3 and Xbox 360 had their own set of missions while Vita, Wii, and PS2 also had different missions it's so werid
I go back every now and then just for the Jawa grapple punt. sooo good. plus the star destroyer is easier to pull down if you ignore the prompts and feel out pulling it down on your own.
I still have nightmares from the scene with the star destroyer. So I was really looking forward to see how you will struggle with it. It was exactly how I felt all the years ago 😂😂
Oh yeah. that boss in the concil chamber could be so much easier if not for this rotten targeting mechanism. the second game is a lot better staying on the target. love watching you play and comment. lots of fun XD
23:33 I swear that almost made me quit the game, like it literally took half an hour to pull that destroyer down. I was certain I was doing smth wrong but seeing you struggle here as well makes me question the game design... I also got the sound bug in the level leading up to the star destroyer sequence and it was confusing as hell and I couldn't find a fix for it. The PC version was cluttered with bugs & performance issues
Even worse to play it on PC cause you have to kinda flail your mouse pulling the star destroyer unless I was doing it wrong. 30-40 minutes of that and my arm hurt by the time I did it. I also thought I was somehow not following the buttom prompts properly so I looked it up and apparently the instructions to position the destroyer are actually wrong so that was lovely. Wonderful setpiece but horrible stage
Man, this game looked so next gen when it came out! It was hard for me to imagine how graphics could improve after that, lol. I actually didn't like it when it came out, because they marketed as a spiritual successor to the Jedi Knight series, but instead is was more something like God of War. These marketing idiots gave me false expectations. But anyway, nowadays I can enjoy the game and like it.
I never finished this game as a kid exactly because of the star destroyer bit. Even hearing Kota's dialogue from that part hit with flashbacks to being 11 and desperately trying to do it while hearing those lines repeatedly for several hours
Aw, this game was so fun and underrated! Plus, you got to play as a Sith and work with the Empire and it wasn't a bait-and-switch like EA Battlefront 2. Always wished more had been done with this series of games
Fun fact - you can lock onto enemies which allows you to both focus your attacks on them and dodge their attacks. The game does not tell you this for some reason. :)

@@thomasdawicki141 Interestingly - although I'm sure this was unintentional - this covers what the difficulty of doing such would realistically be. Lightsaber battles? Sure, Jedi get into them all the time. Even Kazdan and his batshit fighting style was overall something Starkiller could do... but pulling down an ISD from orbit with Force Pull? That's gonna be difficult not just to do, but to figure out HOW to do.
@@trianglemoebius there is a glitch in the pc version that causes the prompts not to show
@@thomasdawicki141 i actually plugged a controller just for this mission its so bad on keyboard
I remember this game, it was so well made… No bugs, no micro bs just good old fashioned fun. I wish LucasArts kept the license to SW instead of EA. 🤮
I'm pretty sure either EA bought Lucasarts or Lucasarts went bankrupt either way ea era games gave us fallen order so I can't complain too much
@@denkifriedkalamari1730 That's a total of ONE good game EA has produced in the last decade. I rest my case.
@@attilavarga3188 there was also the flying game where you got to play as both the rebels and the empire
@@andrewaftontheandroidhedge2780 Which was so good, nobody even remembers it's title. Thanks for proving a point!
@@attilavarga3188 hay it was cinamatic also its not the games fault im a idiot that cant remember game names
20:19 I fully sympathize; even over a decade later, I remember how much I hated this boss, especially doing it on the hardest difficulty because this was during my obsessive, psychotic, achievement-obsessed phase.
And the force-immune droids are still bullshit.
Well those droids were meant to hunt Jedi after all, they are the original Purge Troopers.
@@smdavis6604 How would that make them Force-immune? Technology can`t just break the laws of physics depending on its design.
@@Mark-in8ju Well there's XK-7, but I meant it more from a gameplay point even though Purge Troopers is weak to force lightning.
This game is legit amazing, everything feels really satisfactory and brutal, plus Starkiller was declared too badass so Disney had to make him non-canon
and made that wack ass chick rey instead, SMH
Oh hey Monsoon of the Shitposting Winds, did you beat Raiden yet
I love this game, Disney sucks
No, they just dont respect source material. His power had nothing to do with it.
@@SkintSNIPER262 Imagine being trained by Darth Vader the kid must be so proud or Darth Vader was just looking for another young king to slaughter once he had decent training and backfired
I don't know if it's present in this version, but in the Wii version, Starkiller could Force Choke people. Wasn't too useful, outside of a couple of boss fights, since like all force moves it leaves you exposed, but it was cool to be able to pull off the iconic move.
You could also throw the lightsaber at an opponent who you force grip and it would stay stuck on him. Leaving without the saber for a couple seconds
@@thesussybaka7733 THAT move was *really* useful. Definitely remember especially using it a ton on any enemy with a jetpack because it did a lot of damage and they couldn't dodge or block it
I remember playing this on my DSi. Imagine this, but in 244p. It had no voice acting and only subtitles because of how limited the memory was. I still played it until I unlocked all the clothes and lightsaber colors.
I had it but I could never defeat The Emperor. That minigame was unbeatable to me.
The fact i 100% this game makes me laugh as he struggles with it like "ahh yes I remember the pleb days of this game"
Proud to have this game when I was young,the costumes and all the different crystals and the mayhem with a good story…. They should remaster this
This game is my childhood. Its good to see it getting some attention
Mine was dark force
In the prologue, if you kill enough Storm Troopers (I think it was 12), you get an achievement, “Worst Day-Shift Manager Ever”
Oh man, the first time I played this on my ps3 was amazing.
I just kept tossing people into star fighters as they flew by (when the opportunity would arise), I wish all this was Canon because seeing a Starkiller and Rham Kota duo in live action would be so cool
Sam did an amazing job with portraying the character, dude Aced the role especially with his voice acting.
If you could, check out the Switch version in a few weeks when it comes out.
It's a port of the wii/PS2 version which includes some differences in the story as well as a duel mode similar to the Revenge of the Sith game.
man i loved the wii version thanks for this news.
I played the PS2 version years ago
Kev: sees wookies
"This is where the fun begins"
I played this on the Wii and loved it primarily because I felt like a Jedi swinging the Wii controller around slashing stormtroopers to pieces. Got so good at the swordplay I could out-fight the bosses.
🤔
There Are:
- PSP Version
- PC Version
- Xbox Version
- PS 2 Version
- Wii Version
- The Fucking Mobile Game@@RockettRevengerr
Imagine if a Jedi Master completely explained to their padawan why they shouldn't face a Sith alone. So many of them would still be alive.
"Imagine this is what every Sith sees in a fight, just a button mash sequence"
Darth Maul in Phantom menace: "I hit the button, I hit the button!!!!"
Just something about stealing the turret from the storm trooper at 17:51 absolutely destroyed me, i could not stop laughing at how helpless he looked as you just took it away from him lmao
If you were on a lower difficulty it would give you a bunch of tool tips that would make the game rather easy. Also I never saw you do any upgrades and that would be useful
I love that instead of telling his men to hold their fire vader just slices them to bits
I love that this contains one of the 4 (I think) times that Shaak Ti dies, Once in clone wars, Once in a deleted scene, Once in this game &…………I don’t remember the last one
I'm getting so much enjoyment from this because I remember my wife sitting and watching beat all of these levels with ease. Tbf though, I had memorized the entire game by the time I got married.
That was my brothers favorite Star Wars game. He is so livid that Starkiller is too stronk to be canon.
There are many characters in the EU that make starkiller look weak, the EU version of Luke is the most commonly known too bad Disney butchered him in canon makes me wish we had never gotten any new star wars movies
@@KratosisGod Canon is always going to make things weaker to tell better stories.
0@@shadowofhawk55 did you see the sequels?
Idk about better stories chief
@@shadowofhawk55 EU is canon. Its the Disney Star Wars thats bad fan fic.
@@darkwhispersstories47 Would you like Rey to have been on Goku levels?
This and Republic Commando were my jam, wish they'd make something like them again. I'd settle for an actual remaster of each.
the second game does improve the mechanics tremendously and it's more violent lol definitely want to see Kev play the second one lol I want his reactions XD
I remember how shook I was the first time I cut a stormtrooper's arm off in the second one lmao
lmao I can imagine. at some point I just started trying to cut off storm troopers' heads all the time XD
Too bad the story was bad.
Eh I liked the combo and power gain in the first one better as you had combos that straight up launched enemies in the air and then the saber combos kept going midair. Made me smile at how skillful Starkiller was with a saber. In the second one, they want you to do a lot more pre scripted button presses that really hinder the variation of how to kill enemies. I don’t want to kill three carbonite war droids the same way each time game, maybe I want to press B to force push them and then thunder grenade them to get a bigger explosion. Too bad they removed a lot of the combos, but grapple kills were cool I guess.
It's also like 4 hours long tops. And lore wise really dumb.
Oh man. A throwback. I unlocked like everything in this game and played dam near 200 times💀
You sound like you're genuinely enjoying the game, it's always nice when the creator is being real
Still has to be my favorite game. I remember paying on the Xbox 360. I’ve beaten the game on every difficulty, and it was the only game I would really ever play on the console. Best game ever!
Your amusement at the beginning with the vader segment is a reminder to me that the force unleashed series is my favorite representation/implementation of force powers in games so far. fallen order is a close second. the 2004 game Psi-ops gets a special mention lol.
Lol this was my exact experience playing this game and yet kev has made it even better to enjoy
"This is a power complex game"
Perfect way to describe this game
So fun tip, on the ship where you can input codes, type LIGHTSABER in and you could have max lightsaber damage. It's something that only gives you a function that you can't really get unless using certain kyber crystals. It doesn't feel cheaty as it does not one shot anyone (besides the Canon fodder). Though I don't know if this works on your version of the game.
I remember when I was young me and my dad were crying laughing while using the bendy bridge to slingshot the wookies off of lmao, good times
He was doing like no damage so either he was playing on a high difficulty or he didn't upgrade his lightsaber damage.
Both currently playing through on this difficulty and I did more damage.
I wondered whether he upgraded until he started doing the lightning Saber combo lol
Pretty sure he didn't upgrade his lightning either. Even near the end he was only doing the short bursts of lightning you get at the lowest level.
Or that game sucks cause the difficulty is ridicolous? Devil May Cry compared to this looks easy as hell.
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400 nah, just no upgrades, don't know if he even went to the customisation menu, the guy never even changed his lightsaber colour
Playing this as a kid was insane grabbing clones with the force and tossing them around like dolls was so cool
I played this game with my friend watching. He kept saying “Damn, she be looking fine though” as I was fighting Shaak Ti.
Love this actor who played Galen, especially as Darth Maul.
It's good to see this game is still relevant after over a decade.
There's like three different versions of this game, PS3 and Xbox 360 had their own set of missions while Vita, Wii, and PS2 also had different missions it's so werid
You can tell which based on what direction he holds his saber
I remember playing this game at 9am at Christmas the year this game came out and finished at 9pm. Good times.
Sheesh how did the game take u that long to beat bro😂
@@percoworld_1557 it was the ps2 version, and I had to eat breakfast and dinner.
6:55 general kota after being impaled through the spine with a lightsaber: “tis but a flesh wound”
"Destroy the moon? Who do you think I am, Gru?" Kills me.
A new subscriber, been binging and I have to say as a non Star Wars fan this was my favorite series to play.
Do another please !
I loved the combat in both The Force Unleashed games…the takedowns in Force Unleashed 2 were super satisfying
I go back every now and then just for the Jawa grapple punt. sooo good. plus the star destroyer is easier to pull down if you ignore the prompts and feel out pulling it down on your own.
I beat this game many, many years ago. It's good to see someone come into this from a fresh perspective.
0:22 The Phantom Hourglass soundtrack really gave me some nostalgiaflashes, love it.
I still have nightmares from the scene with the star destroyer. So I was really looking forward to see how you will struggle with it. It was exactly how I felt all the years ago 😂😂
if they made another game like this, but with lightsabers that work like lightsabers instead of baseball bats it would easily get game of the year
Oh yeah. that boss in the concil chamber could be so much easier if not for this rotten targeting mechanism. the second game is a lot better staying on the target. love watching you play and comment. lots of fun XD
>Best Star Wars game ever made
Jedi Academy: How about you say that to my face?
As long as this game exists, Jedi Fallen Order will never even get close to how good it is.
23:33 I swear that almost made me quit the game, like it literally took half an hour to pull that destroyer down. I was certain I was doing smth wrong but seeing you struggle here as well makes me question the game design...
I also got the sound bug in the level leading up to the star destroyer sequence and it was confusing as hell and I couldn't find a fix for it. The PC version was cluttered with bugs & performance issues
Even worse to play it on PC cause you have to kinda flail your mouse pulling the star destroyer unless I was doing it wrong. 30-40 minutes of that and my arm hurt by the time I did it. I also thought I was somehow not following the buttom prompts properly so I looked it up and apparently the instructions to position the destroyer are actually wrong so that was lovely. Wonderful setpiece but horrible stage
I worked my ass off to collect every single collectible in this game, including the dark saber
the *what*
you could use lightning against small ships and swido to finish it and + do not play games at maximum difficulty
"if you are truly a Jedi, then you will destory that."
Kev: "THE MOON?!"
Bro the WindWaker music in the beginning works so well
Man, this game looked so next gen when it came out! It was hard for me to imagine how graphics could improve after that, lol.
I actually didn't like it when it came out, because they marketed as a spiritual successor to the Jedi Knight series, but instead is was more something like God of War. These marketing idiots gave me false expectations. But anyway, nowadays I can enjoy the game and like it.
I never finished this game as a kid exactly because of the star destroyer bit. Even hearing Kota's dialogue from that part hit with flashbacks to being 11 and desperately trying to do it while hearing those lines repeatedly for several hours
It is brutal, and amazing! Back when they actually made games good.
This game was my childhood man. I played countless play throughs
“Vader thinks he’s turned you…. But I can see your future”
Will always live rent free
*Sets it to second hardest difficulty*
*Gets to the second boss*
*_"This is where the fun begins"_*
Aw, this game was so fun and underrated! Plus, you got to play as a Sith and work with the Empire and it wasn't a bait-and-switch like EA Battlefront 2. Always wished more had been done with this series of games
The best version what's on PS2 because you can go to the Cloud City I was disappointed when they didn't add Cloud City
' ... sequel to sonic unleashed'. Almost spilled my coffee there :)
10:26 that has to be the most Sith Looking Jedi I’ve ever seen lmao🤣
I would love to see more of this or start the 2nd game. 2nd game was really good
