Publisher's Summary
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... Just when you thought all was normal in the Star Wars universe, think again. Aboard the Death Star, Galen Marek decides to avenge his father's death instead of defending Rahm Kota. With Vader dead, Palpatine is ready to make Starkiller his apprentice after he ends his ties with the Jedi. Starkiller refuses to do so and dooms both him and his friends. Afterwards, he must do Palpatine's bidding until the Emperor finds a new apprentice. And then he will be cast aside like Vader. However, the exiled Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi decides to help Starkiller redeem himself and help reform the Rebel Alliance. Will Starkiller choose the right path, or will he doom everyone again?

Story
The Infinities version of The Force Unleashed begins with Galen Marek is ready to finish Darth Vader off. Palpatine tells Marek to kill Vader and take his place, but Master Rahm Kota interferes and is blasted by lightning. Instead of defending Kota, Galen gets his revenge and skewers Vader with two lightsabers, killing him. His final test is to kill Kota, but Galen hesitates and tries to attack Palpatine. Palpatine blocks it and easily defeats Galen. The Emperor then brings down the Rogue Shadow with the Force and kills everybody but Galen and himself.

Galen reawakes to the medical center on Coruscant resting on a medical table in a mechanical suit. Palpatine orders Galen to hunt down the remaining Jedi until Palpatine finds a new apprentice and then will cast down Galen just like Vader was. If he refuses, Palpatine will trigger a button sending an electric shock to Galen's brain.

On Tatooine, Obi-Wan Kenobi senses a disturbance in the Force and finds out later after watching the Imperial News Network stating that the Rebellion has been crushed by Galen. It blames him for the deaths of Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, Garm Bel Iblis, and Darth Vader on Correlia. Kenobi then negotiates with the smuggler Han Solo and his Wookiee partner Chewbacca to get a ride aboard their ship the Millenium Falcon and hitch a ride to Correlia. The three escape the planet after nearly escaping Imperial forces and goons of Jabba the Hutt.

On Alderaan, Grand Moff Tarkin leads an invasion on Alderaan to search for Leia Organa, who has been rumored to be associated with Galen and Bail. Tarkin learns from Breha Organa that Leia is not on Alderaan and is killed along with C-3PO when Star Destroyers blow up the cities of Alderaan.

On Correlia, Kenobi, Solo, and Chewie find only the remains of the spot where the Rebellion tried to declare war and the remains of Galen's droid PROXY, who died at the hands of Vader trying to save Galen. They take PROXY aboard the Falcon and repair him. PROXY learns of everything from Kenobi and asks PROXY to inform them on everything he knows about Galen and the Rebellion. PROXY then tells Solo to head to Kashyyyk to meet up with Princess Leia and R2-D2.

Meanwhile, Galen is ordered to find and hunt down Jedi Master K'kruhk, who is hiding on Teth. Galen duels the Whipid and defeats him. Before striking him down, K'kruhk offers to help Galen, but an electric shock prevents this from happening and the deed is done.

On Kashyyyk, Imperial forces invade and attempt to arrest Leia. Leia and Artoo lead a Wookiee attack against the Empire. The Falcon lands and joins in the battle. While the battle rages, Obi-Wan travels to the Marek's old abandoned hut and finds more info on the Marek family. He is then forced to flee when a probe droid attempts to spot him.

Galen is now assigned to defeat Yoda on Dagobah. This is the last assignment for Galen since Palpatine claims to clone himself instead of find a new apprentice. Yoda engages in a duel with Galen, which results in Galen's torture device to be destroyed. Galen agrees to leave his past behind, he and Yoda travel in an attempt to stop the Empire.

Obi-Wan is captured on Kashyyyk along with Leia by Palpatine and Tarkin. Han, Chewie, PROXY, Artoo, and the surviving Wookies prepare another assault on the Death Star.

Galen and Yoda arrive and meet up with Han and the others. Galen blasts the guards at the entrance with force lightning and Yoda takes control of Tarkin with a mind trick. Artoo and PROXY are assigned to hack into the Death Star's controls to find a weakness in the system. Han and Chewie free many other prisoners aboard the Death Star while Galen and Yoda confront Palpatine, who has Obi-Wan and Leia captive. He then tries to blast Galen with lightning, but fails to do so. The two engage in a duel which results in Palpatine being disarmed. Yoda prevents Galen from killing Palpatine, but Palpatine blasts Galen with another wave of lightning. Tarkin arrives with stormtroopers and tries to attack Yoda, but Yoda frees Obi-Wan and Leia and escape while Galen deals with the Emperor. Tarkin and the others are killed by Yoda, but Palpatine escapes. Galen starts to die and begs for forgiveness in which Yoda forgives him before escaping with the remaining heroes. Galen prepares to search for Palpatine while the Death Star destructs with help from Artoo and PROXY. Galen and Palpatine engage in one last duel before the Death Star explodes killing both Galen and Palpatine.

On Kashyyyk, newly elected Chancellor Leia Organa declares the Rebellion to be the new protection for the New Republic. Outside, Yoda and Obi-Wan look up to the stars at the spirit of Galen Marek.
