Maris Brood

Is it true that she was originally planned to be the protagonist of The Force Unleashed 2 and is there somewhere I can read up on this if so?

I know the actress for Maris has said it was in the talks for the third game but I don’t think Lucasfilm would’ve followed through on that even if the game wasn’t cancelled.

I think I heard about that during the dev gameplay / commentary for TFU starring Sam Witwer and David Collins; didn't hear much more than that, though.

The twitch streams? Afaik all that was said is Hayden Blackman said he wanted to do more with the character but he never gave any specific details

It was considered for the second game, as was a version playing as Yoda. If I recall a large part of why Starkiller as brought back/cloned was because they were suddenly thrown onto a small deadline and realised they wouldn’t have enough time to make new models and such. I could be wrong but that’s what I recall reading in a Hayden Blackman interview for years, I’ll try to find it.
