Blackman feels the second game takes better advantage of the powerful engine than does the first game. Like its predecessor, The Force Unleashed II's engine will use Havok, Euphoria, and Digital Molecular Matter. The developers hope the story 'stands on its own' and will be enjoyable even by people who have not played the first game. LucasArts considered but decided against using a different protagonist for the sequel. Haden Blackman, who served as executive producer for the first Force Unleashed game, is also executive producer and writer for the sequel.

All the while, Darth Vader is hunting his reborn apprentice in an effort to make him become the ultimate Sith warrior. With a 'fractured' memory and 'haunted' by dreams of Juno Eclipse, Starkiller escapes from captivity on Kamino on a quest to understand his identity and to find Juno Eclipse. Players will control the 'clone' of Starkiller, Darth Vader's secret apprentice and the protagonist killed in the first game.

The Force Unleashed II will be the 'dark entry' in the series, and a more 'personal' story for the game's protagonist than the first game. The game will take place about six months after the events of the first game, and a year before Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. New combos and enemies have been added as well. Combat will be modified to include the ability to wield dual lightsabers and more Force powers such as 'mind trick' and 'Force fury'. The sequel will refine gameplay elements from the first Force Unleashed, and add more variance with such features as puzzle solving and, at one point, piloting a TIE fighter.
