It was the story line that was questionable.

It wasn't "questionable". It sucked and on top of that it pissed on OT characters.

Care to expand on that?

They write some random nobody character and make him beat both Vader and Emperor. That is beyond stupid.

When a writer lacks talent and originality, the easiest way for him to do something is to parasite on something good that was previously made. "Oh look my character is so cool he was Vader's secret apprentice and he beaten both Vader and Emperor".

That's a rather narrow way to look at it. The story of the Force Unleashed is really about the birth of the Alliance. By the end we learn that the Emperor had actually conspired to create the Alliance to draw out the various Rebel leaders to eliminate them but Galen (the Secret Apprentice) sacrifices himself to let them escape.

He gave them hope for a better future and later the "new hope" Luke Skywalker would come along to ultimately bring it about.
