The end of the story in the popular video game The Force Unleashed left the Star Wars galaxy poised at the brink of civil war. But before that can happen, Darth Vader has another plan already in play - and he needs bounty hunter Boba Fett to help him. Hired to recapture a rogue clone of Vader's secret apprentice, Starkiller, Fett traverses the stars, following a very definite trail while he forms a plan to bring in such a challenging bounty...

The Force Unleashed II is a prequel story to LucasArts's game. As interesting as this collection is, and believe me for fans of the game this is a pretty neat edition to the universe, it's a pretty thin volume.

Omar Francia and Manuel Silva turn in some above average art, but I couldn't help but notice that their forte seems to be planet landscapes and space scenes.

If you're not a fan of the game, or Boba Fett, then you'll probably not enjoy this. For everyone else this isn't a bad read.
