Star Wars: Force Unleashed and Force Unleashed II for the PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii sit in that period of time between the end of the prequels and the start of the original Star Wars film. This has given LucasArts the freedom to dabble in the Star Wars universe in the game and it looks like they are about to do so in a big way with the appearance of Master Yoda.
Bobba Fett has previously been revealed to be a major villain in the game but the cover of the October issue of the Official Playstation Magazine shows Starkiller on the planet Dagobah with both lightsabers drawn facing Yoda.
How Yoda will fit in the story, we don't know yet but Starkiller is on a quest to find out more about who he really is. Will he be seeking wisdom or vengeance from Yoda?
Update: LucasArts has released a video featuring a cut-scene from the game showing Starkiller and Yoda meeting outside of the Cave of Evils on Dagobah.
“Starkiller, having escaped the clutches of Darth Vader on the planet Kamino, senses something calling out to him from the planet Dagobah. Arriving there, he encounters a familiar face and one of the most powerful Jedi to ever live – Yoda. Outside of the iconic Cave of Evils, Yoda provides Starkiller with crucial insight about the inner turmoil tearing his mind apart and his quest to reunite with Juno Eclipse.”
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II is scheduled for an October 2010 release.

I hope Yoda kills Starkiller for good. So we won't be punished with another Sequel of a bad game.
Good what a bunch of miserable muppets , if you were real Starwars fans you would love all different Lucas twists and turns, it looks great !
they should a made a few new movies instead , THEN create a few games , i mean seriously , no jedi was close to starkiller skills or force powers except yoda... i'll bet we will see new movies later with lucas
Yoda opens up a can of whoop ass on Starkiller and that's how the dark tree was born... (doubt it but one can dream :) )
I hate how Lucas keeps trying to shoe horn more and more irrelevant BS into the Star Wars canon. Luke Skywalker was the last of the Jedi --I don't know why they keep adding more and more Jedi into the mix to convoluted a storyline that was already perfect.
Stop screwing up the canon and focus on making video games based on New Jedi Order or the Timothy Zahn novels.
To StarWarsBlows ...
I agree ... I'm sick of everything being centered around the clone wars/episode 3/4 timelines ... there's so many other storylines AFTER that era that are so much better. Could you imagine a movie/game based on fighting the Yuuzan Vong! That would be epic. So many star wars fans have no idea what they're missing if they haven't read the novels. New Jedi Order Storylines FTW!
You fanboys are ridiculous. The expanded universe stinks, nothing that was written by anyone other than Lucasfilm means a hill of beans. The Yuuzan Vong are so NOT Star Wars...they don't fit with canon, they're much too science fiction and belong in Trek. For years all you fanboys cried about was wanting to know about the Clone Wars, now you're crying cause you're getting it. And to the person who said they were sick of "Lucasfilm shoe horning irrelevant stuff into Star Wars canon"...um, the ONLY canon is what Lucasfilm makes, so how can you possibly call it irrelevant? The Zahn novels and New Jedi Order is the irrelevant part, as evidenced by the fact that Lucasfilm totally ignores the EU when plotting continuity. Go watch Star Trek and leave our franchise alone.
