In this exact game, we’re literally shown Vader tearing from massive pieces of metal like they were paper, so why the hell did him and Starkiller think they could contain this guy? Even Sam Witwer admitted that in force unleashed 3 it would’ve been revealed that sparing Vader was the worst mistake Starkiller ever made and that he had no real power over Vader because Vader was just putting on a show the entire time.

We know Heir to the Empire started the Expanded Universe but somebody know how was the process for George Lucas and company to let this man make an actual continuation of the story with the main and new characters and even to expand (in his own way) the movies lore?

>!Roganda Ismaren was a Human female from Alderaan, a former Jedi Initiate who had escaped the Great Jedi Purge as a youngling. In 18 BBY, she and several other younglings were smuggled to Plett's Well on the planet of Belsavis, under the guidance of Jedi Master Plett. However, their refuge was discovered by Emperor Palpatine, who sent the dreadnaught Eye of Palpatine to wipe out the Jedi as a sort of test of the automated superweapon. Although the weapon was disabled due to the sacrifice of Jedi Knight Callista Ming, Roganda was captured by Imperial Inquisitors during the evacuation of the conclave on Belsavis. Taken to Imperial Center, Roganda embraced the Empire and Darkside in order to survive. She integrated herself into Imperial society, growing into a beautiful woman trained by the Inquisitorious as an operative. Palpatine took a personal interest in her training and made her one of his Emperors Hands. Serving as Palpatine's spy among the elite of the galaxy, she used her beauty and Force sensitivity to infiltrate the exclusive Imperial Court, with the cover of being one of the Emperor's concubines. !<

>!During her time as Palpatine's consort, she began an affair with another court member, and Emperors Hand, Sarcev Quest. When she became pregnant, Roganda submitted herself to the Emperor's mercy, where rather than kill her for her treachery, Palpatine chose to continue to use her as a pawn since her son was strong in the Force, he too would be brought up to serve the Emperor when he was old enough. In 4 BBY, Roganda gave birth to her son, Irek Ismaren, and began to train him as a possible heir to the Emperor, she would raise Irek to believe he was the son of Palpatine and concealed his true parentage even from her former lover, Sarcev, who never suspected the truth. However, upon Palpatine's death in 4 ABY, Roganda- like several other of the Emperors Hands, did not have the necessary support to make a play for the throne with her primary benefactor now gone. She retreated back to Belsavis and trainedcontinued to train her son for a future attempt to take control of the Empire.!<

>!By 12 ABY, Roganda had formulated a plan to reunite the fragments of the Empire under her son with herself as the power behind his throne. Her son, who had been implanted with a subelectronic converter, used this device to summon the disabled Eye of Palpatine to Belsavis. With the promise of the warship at her command, she made overtures to various nobles in the Senex and Juvex sectors to gain backing for her son as the new Emperor. Once she had these assets, she hoped to join forces with one or more of the Warlords, perhaps even Supreme Warlord Harrsk's Zero Command.!<

>!However, when the ship arrived above Belsavis, Irek found that despite his cybernetic enhancements, he could not control it, and the plot quickly fell apart as Leia Organa Solo uncovered their identity and intentions. Roganda and her son made their way back to Coruscant in secret and went into hiding, where she continued Irek's training, recruiting Lord Cronal to train her son. However, in an argument with his teacher, Irek was stabbed through the head with a lightsaber, rendering him brain-dead. Devastated, and increasingly delusional, Roganda refused to accept the loss of her boy, placing him in suspended animation and trying to repair his brain with computer implants.!<

>!Roganda augmented Irek to become the most powerful darksider imaginable, installing lightsabers in his wrists, elbows, and knees and using growth hormones to increase his size to three meters in height. In an attempt to bring back Irek's mental faculties, she prepared operational programming and prefabricated "Irek" memories to install into his destroyed brain. She had become insane enough to truly believe he could become Emperor Irek, uncoquerable tyrant, and loving son again. However, before this could be implemented, a groundquake awakened Irek from stasis. Driven only by a mindless need to destroy, he used the lightsabers installed into his body to cut his mother to pieces, ending her life.!<
