Force Unleashed is a pretty terrible game, and I can't recommend playing it. It's sloppy and underdone, with a surprising number of glitches for a AAA release from a big publisher. However, it is also the best bit of Star Wars writing since the 80s, and it opens with the scene above. That's easily one of my favorite Star Wars images since John Dykstra (?) matted a second sun onto footage of Mark Hamill gazing out over Tunisia at dusk.

For the full story without having to play the messy game, you can watch these YouTube videos of Force Unleashed's cutscenes. These are also helpful for those of us who played the game and had to watch unblinkingly for the stupid button-presses during the quick-time minigames while cool cutscenes played in the background.
