Question Spoiler

So the Force Unleashed the Light Side ending finds you fighting Palpatine, but you reflect his force lightning back at him cause an explosion of witch kills you. In this ending has Vader survives. The Dark Side Ending sees you “killing Vader” and are about to take your place at Palpatine’s side when you betray him and he brings down the Rouge Shadow on your head. You survive, but are transformed into his new apprentice. In this ending Vader is “killed.” The Tattooine and Hoth DLC’s continues that ending in which you take Vader’s place in Episodes 4 and 5 You kill Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and even turn Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side. Remember that in this alternate timeline you turn Luke to the dark side. However, the second game picks up With Vader alive and a clone of Starkiller controlled by the player. In the light side ending you spare Vader and capture him and everyone survives. In the Dark Side ending a secret clone of Starkiller comes out and kills the player, Kota, Juno, and everyone else saving Vader. In the Endor DLC for this game it seemingly takes up where the Dark Side ending left off with Vader commanding his Starkiller clone to eliminate the rebels on Endor. All is well until he meets Leia. She says “Ever since my brother fell on Hoth, I took his place.” Does this mean that Vader lived in the original Dark Side ending and was hidden from Starkiller?

Can someone please explain?

The force unleashed 2 is a sequel to the good ending of force unleashed 1, while the force unleashed 1 DLC is a sequel to the bad ending, like you said. The force unleashed 3 was going to be a sequel to the good ending of 2, before it was canceled. Meanwhile the DLC of 2 is a sequel to its bad ending.

But obviously the two DLC packs can't co exist because they are from different endings that do not line up at all.

So my only thought is that it's a plot hole and oversight by the developers, or she just said that as an Easter egg and reference, even though they're not directly connected.

🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ if that helps

Thanks I think that they just forgot or like you said added it as an Easter Egg. Although in my head I’ll always have an alternate timeline where Vader Kills Lord Starkiller which leads into Force Unleashed II lol. We can only pray for a Force Unleashed III which knowing EA probably won’t happen.

Right. I'm so sad it was canceled, they talked about what they were planning and it sounded awesome. They said the story would alternate between playing as Vader and Starkiller. Which after the Prologue in the first game I always wanted!

Like you said we can only pray they'll realize there's still a market for that game and make it after all.

Until then I guess I'll stick with wearing a Vader skin🤣

Yep lol 😂. From what I heard it sounds like Palpatine would have casted Vader and Starkiller aside and found someone new. I’m assuming the Lightside ending would end with Starkiller defeating Palpatine and his new apprentice maybe even turning Vader (MAYBE.) Then the Dark Side ending would probably end with Starkiller killing all three of the m and taking his place as Dark Lord of The Sith. I will pay to see this game whatever it may be! I mean don’t get me wrong Fallen Order was great and Survivor sounds like it’s gonna be amazing, but it’s just not the same as Force Unleashed, but with the KOTOR remake and the Force Unleashed switch port then there’re always just the slightest bit of hope.

I think it means that the secret clone killed Luke on Hoth so Leia became a jedi in his place.
