9 Star Wars Cliffhangers We'll Never Get The Answer To

Alongside The Knights of the Old Republic and Republic Commando, The Force Unleashed video games remain some of the most beloved ever to be played by fans of this galaxy far, far away. But it's also a series that ends on one hell of a cliffhanger, one that is still yet to be fully resolved many moons since the second instalment's release - and now almost certainly never will.

The Force Unleashed II contains two different conclusions, of course, depending on which side of the Force you choose to walk on. Should the player opt for the Dark Side ending, they will attempt to kill Darth Vader as Starkiller, only to then be killed themselves by a clone of, well, themselves. 

That ending isn't considered part of the Legends continuity, however. 

The Light Side ending, though? Well, that was, and it involved Vader instead being captured by Starkiller and the Rebel Alliance. He would then be transported to Dantooine, but little did Starkiller and Juno know that Boba Fett was actually following closely behind.

It did seem as though a third Force Unleashed game would provide some answers to that wonderful cliffhanger ending, but the game was soon cancelled when Disney bought Lucasfilm and shut down LucasArts.

Though The Force Unleashed project lead and The Force Unleashed II writer W. Haden Blackman would later explain (via Twitch) that one idea he had for the third game would have seen Fett shoot down Starkiller and Juno's ship before Starkiller and Vader were then forced to team-up to survive, fans still never technically got to see an official answer to this cliffhanger come to life. 

And they will now forever just have to imagine how that final game would have played out.
