 Unlike in its predecessor , Blackman achieved more freedom in developing the story for The Force Unleashed II , as it took place in a relatively uneventful time period . Blackman and the writing staff had to receive approval from Star Wars creator George Lucas to portray the game in their vision . " He had some comments on the way we wanted to use Princess Leia in the first one and he wanted to make sure that we were aware that Bail Organa was one of the founders of the Rebel Alliance , but that was it — those were the only real constraints that we had . " To avoid any perceived constraints , they would travel to the headquarters of Lucasfilm in San Francisco , California to give an overview of their plans . " With The Force Unleashed II , remarked Blackman , " because we ’ d already established this notion of Darth Vader ’ s secret apprentice , really it was just sitting down with licensing and saying ‘ this is what we want to do ’ and getting a few pieces of feedback from them . "
