Although i do agree with you in some way Prince, don't forget that it is set between Episodes III and IV, is it not feasible that Vader is still not fully under the control of the emperor and is using his apprentice to throw a spanner in the works of the emperors plans. Don't forget that there is around 20 years between Episodes III and IV, at end of EPIII Vader has only just truly embraced the darkside and may still not be fully willing to turn away from everything that the Jedi had taught him to be right. All in all I am really looking forward to this games release, after all the footage and screenshots I have seen, it looks like Force Unleashed could be a strong contender for Game of the Year
Why stormrtroopers?

Games looks great, but as Vader's apprentice, why the hell have Lucasarts inisisted on fighting stormtroopers.
Why not rebels? Doesn't make sense to me.
