A master and an apprentice - a tradition that would make for a perfect Co-Op experience. A storyline separate from that of the main game's, an online component to the next Star Wars title would perfect sense. Splinter Cell: Conviction and Backlist both had Cooperative storylines that complimented the main storyline perfectly, and it'd be great to share the Star Wars experience with a friend of your choosing.
All the features previously featured would make their way into co-operative gameplay, with the added bonus of Co-Op finishers and force abilities being thrown into the mix as well. The combat opportunities alone are drool-worthy, but that wouldn't be the only thing to get excited about with this mode's inclusion.
Depending on its timing, a narrative of this kind could provide a different outlook on the Sith/Jedi conflict and tread over some moral grey areas in the Star Wars canon - something the previous Force Unleashed games have endeavoured to tackle.

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
