No to be completely honest i don't think the writers paid as much attention to the story as i have.
But as i said my theory is just my attempt to make sense of the mess they gave us & i've tried to piece together a believable plotline that wraps up what little story we were given.

You have to admit it fits & addresses all plotholes so far.
(i doubt FU 3 will do any better)

Unleash Pain = the Developers did
Unleash Anger = the fans did
Unleash Fury = the fans still are
Unleash TRUTH = check any independent review - Truth is there.

(Does anyone read these threads properly)
I already explained all this on page 23 - here it is again, follow carefully.

Juno was an imperial officer for years - Don't you think the empire would have DNA samples of it's officers taken during medical exams ?
Juno could've been cloned same time as Starkiller months ago, Only if the SK clones failed to kill Juno droids in training would Vader ever need to use the Juno clones to control Starkiller.
Boba Fett was only sent to capture Juno to enable Vader to obtain her current memories & threaten Starkiller with Juno's life.
The real Juno is still being held by the Empire - What escaped with Starkiller at the end was a Clone.
(Again no normal human could survive being thrown that far by Vader at the end, it was a clone.)

It did not take just a few hours between Boba capturing Juno & Vader + Juno on Kamino, More likely a day or so (at least) to travel across a galaxy.
Just because we jump from location to location quickly in the game & movies - Don't think that's how long a journey of that distance really takes ,It would just be boring for viewers if they showed these journeys in real time.(you need to apply a little logic)

FU 2 is set Decades after Episode 2 movie ,The Kaminoans could easily have made vast leaps in cloning technology since Eps 2 especially as the Empire has access to the Jedi Archives.
It's easily possible memories could be implanted into a normal human clone within hours or days.
It was only difficult with Starkiller because he's a Jedi & as cloning records say 'it was as if the original DNA refused to be copied'.
It would have been quicker & easier with Juno.

And if Juno was just afraid of Vader, why not try run straight away - it's like her actions with Vader were pre-arranged.
Think about it , a Force user may be able to quickly take a lightsaber from Vader no problem, but you think a normal person could ?
Seriously , this is the most believable scenario to the endings we were given i can think of.

If you're gonna try shoot down my theory ,you'll need to give a little more detail & evidence to pull it apart.
Or just believe what you will.

Unleash Pain = the Developers did
Unleash Anger = the fans did
Unleash Fury = the fans still are
Unleash TRUTH = check any independent review - Truth is there.

The only evidence i have that Juno is a clone is the fact she gave Vader some strange looks when Starkiller confronted them - Almost like she was gonna ask Vader 'what should i do now' .
And the fact a normal person could not have survived being thrown through the toughened glass window & survived that fall.
I don't buy Starkiller brought her back to life theory at all - I think she is definately a clone, Boba fett was sent to capture her so Vader could copy her current memories into the clone.

No solid evidence , Just trying to come up with a theory that makes believable sense of the mash of a story we were given.

Unleash Pain = the Developers did
Unleash Anger = the fans did
Unleash Fury = the fans still are
Unleash TRUTH = check any independent review - Truth is there.

Couldn't be a Proxy droid , Kota or Starkiller would certainly have sensed the difference, A clone however is an organic life form with real emotions & memories.
With Kota's weakened connection to the force & Starkiller's weakness for Juno a clone could fool them both.
To make either the light or darkside ending 'believable' she really has to be a clone & part of Vader's plan all along.
The real Juno is still being held somewhere - Only Vader or Fett knows where.

A good twist would be we play as both Starkiller & Dark apprentice in FU 3.
Similar to how you played as Anakin & Obi-wan in EPS 3 game (which i kinda liked),
DA sets out to rescue Vader & Starkiller searches for real Juno.

Although i'm sure Vader allowed himself to be captured in FU 2.

Maybe Juno and Galen were having their honeymoon on Alderann when the Death Star showed up

So either it's a huge plothole, or Starkiller is a complete Gary Stu. Great.

"We have to give everything, even if that means our lives. We will stop at nothing. We will fight for the lost." Mass Effect 2 GOTY FTW

"We're at war. No one wants to admit it but humanity is under attack. One very specific man may be all that stands between humanity and the greatest threat of our brief existance." - The Illusive Man

you're right. a simple man can't survive that fall, neighter Juno did. probably Starkiller resurracted her.
just remember, she didn't awake in the dark side ending, and the evil clone would have finished her off is she would alive.

Staarkiller was definitely a clone in my mind here.

Staarkiller was just another test going insane, for results that Vader would keep in mind for the Dark Apprentice.

We can argue this point for both sides, just remember one thing... Almost everywhere LA states that in this game you are to "Continue the adventure of Starkiller". Why would they use those words? If you're playing a clone, wouldn't the statement read.. "Continue the adventure as Starkiller's Clone"? Just saying....

Vader lied to Starkiller all the way through his training in FU 1 , It's explained by the Emperor that it was the Emperor's plan all along.
In case you missed the plot - The Emperor discovering vader's apprentice & ordering his death was a set up by the Emperor & Vader - It was the only believable way Vader could give Starkiller free reign to find the rebels himself while maintaining the pretence of destroying the Emperor & keeping Starkiller on his side.
Perhaps some aspects of FU 1 plot were too subtle for you.

And Juno was an imperial officer for years - Don't you think the empire would have DNA samples of it's officers taken during medical exams ?
Juno could've been cloned same time as Starkiller months ago, Only if the clones failed to kill Juno in training would Vader ever need to use the Juno clones to control Starkiller.

(Again no normal human could survive being thrown that far by Vader at the end, it was a clone.)

Star Wars plots are easily worked out - The Sith lie & manipulate constantly.
To base a theory on what truths you think Vader or the Emperor has said is a mistake at best.

You have your theory - I have my own based on my understanding of both games plots.
