This story features an alternative version of the events known from the Star Wars movies. Here the Vader’s secret apprentice, whom we meet in the original Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, defeats his master and takes his place beside the Emperor in order to deliver an ultimate strike to the remaining Jedi Knights. The protagonist’s first task is to fight with Obi-Wan Kenobi. Later, he is also sent on Hoth to crush the Rebellion base set there. There, on this ice-cold planet, he meets Luke Skywalker himself, whom he has to defeat in order to bring the story to a happy ending – at least from the Empire’s perspective.

Besides, the Ultimate Sith Edition features many recognizable places and characters from the Empire Strikes Back movie. For example, the hero of the Force Unleashed arrives to Jabba the Hutt’s palace and also encounters the infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett.
