10 Incredible Characters Wasted In Terrible Video Games

The Original Star Wars: The Force Unleashed wasn't perfect, but it was fun as hell thanks to the physics system that made using Force powers such a blast. Though it suffered from the odd cheap enemy or frustrating platforming section, it was still one of the better Star Wars games. And it sold well, setting a solid foundation for an inevitable sequel.

So what the hell happened?

The Force Unleashed II felt like a rushed, cheap, cash-in that squandered an interesting story premise, as well as everything its forbear had accomplished.

One of its few shining stars however was a returning character from the first game - General Rahm Kota. Having survived Order 66 thanks to his commando unit of loyal non-clone volunteers, Rahm waged a guerilla war against the Empire before the Rebel Alliance existed, performing hit-and-run attacks on Imperial infrastructure.

After being defeated by the player in the first game, Rahm turns up as a blind drunk who's in need of redemption himself. Fortunately he finds it, and in the sequel is the combat general of the Rebel military, leading from the front like the badass he is.

Rahm Kota is basically the Rambo of Star Wars.
