I got this error as well. Didn't really think anything of it till I started poking around online and such. I'm not a die-hard, gotta get every achievement, kind of player, but I definitely will submit that this is absolutely unacceptable.
From what we've heard over the past few months, the Xbox 360 version of the game has been done for some time now, and the delays were due to difficulty with porting to the PS3. So, if this problem was only showing up on the PS3's then I could understand. But for it to be THIS widespread is just ridiculous.

I have the same problem on the Death Star level, and I beat the Sith Trials after completing that mission. My holocrons also disappear after I retrieve them, and I've collected all of them, but did not get the Holocron achievement because the level does not recognize that I've collected the holocrons. I can still collect force points and complete the other bonus objectives on other levels, though, and I even completed both endings on Normal.
This pretty much sucks. For a game that was called "The next chapter in the Star Wars universe" it feels like I've been horribly cheated. Almost as bad as having to watch Vader whine in the films(my attempt at humor in the downtime). I hope we see some sort of official confirmation that LA is aware of the problem, and that they are fixing it, soon. I was really hoping to get all of the Achievements.

The bonus objective tagline in the last mission objectives says "*Default text" and my Holocron collection doesn't register as an achievement. I know I have them all because I have been keeping track and have nothing left to unlock. This is only happening on the last level just as XAL5388 said it usually does. But, I constantly clean my Xbox cache and do routinely preform HDD maintenance. I've never encountered a problem with a game like this in my life. It's disappointing to learn that your hard work doesn't get registered and a waist of money has gone down the drain. Oh well then, I guess something may happen in a long time from now.

Happened to me at the start of Imperial Kashyyk, as i recall. The very start...before I even grabbed the holocron I checked bonus objectives and it said *default text. Lucasarts, I rented this game. Fix the bugs and I might buy it. Maybe.

I got hit with this bug on Imperial Kashyyk. I'm not sure exactly when it appeared during the level.

Happened to me on Imperial Kashyyk. I RENTED this game. I gotta return this early to hollywood video, little point in playing it now, it's just too frustrating. I spawned in, pressed start right away, saw "*default text" in the area where the bonus objectives should be, then I saw and grabbed a holocron. It still said I had zero holocrons. FYI, it would be EASY to give players retroactive credit for finding holocrons. Although I didn't get credit for finding the holcron, it never regenerated. It stayed dissapeared. Simply have the game scan to see which holocrons are missing, and award the players credit for those. This might not work for bonus objectives, but for holocrons, it's easy. Please, patch soon. Then I will rent again and finish the game, probably.

I too have gotten this glitch. I sent a notice to Luasarts about it and they sent an E-mail back saying that they are working on it. Hopefully they can work faster, because it would be nice to get the recogition for completing a task that they put out. I'm a completionist, but not anal about it. But still, if you put out a game, at least make sure that it works.

I am having the same problem. It started on the Imperial Kashyyyk mission, after I had gone a little ways into the level and then exited to finish all the training missions.

it is happening as early as Imperial Kashyyyk, which is where it happened to me, i didnt finish the sith trials achievement until after that, so it has nothing to do with that achievement, also it has been reported to happen on ps3, which i dont think has an achievement system like 360 (dont know for sure, dont have a ps3) so it is not a system specific glitch, although i havent heard anything about the other systems so it may be a next-gen system glitch

I have no way to confirm, because I refuse to replay the whole game to try this. But I?m pretty sure this bug is in relation to the Sith Trials Achievement which you can complete right before Imp Felucia. My game was fine until I completed and saved after doing these training missions and have noticed others have mention this as well but haven?t made this connection. This would explain why it?s unrepairable to date by starting over. I?ve also called Microsoft and they say there aware of the bug and to be patient and wait for an update from Lucasarts (whatever and whenever that means). If anyone wants to try this scenario please let us know how it worked out. Best bet would be to start a new game on a new profile so the save and achievement are fresh.

They were definitely not paying attention, there are many typos too (words missing from Databank files, one of the force power descriptions says "EMEMIES" instead of "ENEMIES"). Even the voice acting was careless: after you go back and find the blind Kota, before you fight the shadow guard, with the captions on you can read Kota says something like "This is a fool's errand, boy" but instead sounds like he says "This is a fool, errand boy". Just moving a comma changes the whole meaning. I know that's nitpicky compared to a game-killing glitch, but it all adds up to sloppy QC.

THis happened to me about 3 to 4 missions before the death star. It is very annoying. Hope a patch will be released to fix this issue.
It is kinda sad that a bug like that got past quality control. Not sure what the beta testers were doing but clearly not paying attention to everything hehe

I know it has only been 2 days, but with this many complaints (only 1 page here for some reason, but many across the 'net) about such a serious issue, at least a statement acknowledging that it is being looked into is in order. I expect to be ignored from a company like Apple, but not LucasArts. After all the hype, trust and reputation is at stake...

I have had some serious glitches with The Force Unleashed. It's too bad that Lucas Arts didn't get this right. As many times as they pushed this back, and still didn't get it right?
From about the middle of the way through the game, all of a sudden, my stats for my score-(which is your points for killing enemies), and my Sith Holocron count, no longer show up. Also for my mission objectives, it no longer lists them, it now just says "Default Text". Somehow, my achievements for finishing the levels are still unlocking as far as I can tell, but I am not sure if all the Sith Holocrons I'm finding are registering?
This is terrible. I mean come on? At first I thought it was sort of nostalgic that this game can only be played by one person. No Multiplayer, no Co-op Campaign, but now all these glitches? I saw another gamer who had posted having these same problems, had pointed out that this seems like a game that was made for the PS2, but in order to cram it into the PS3 and XBOX 360, they had to modify a lot of things. Well if this is true it would make a lot of sense as to how all these glitches are happening.
I am a Star Wars DIE HARD fan, collector, and video game nut. I have almost every Star Wars game there is on almost every system, and this is the first time I have had any problems like this. This is just too bad, and I really hope Lucas Film can fix this and compensate me for spending nearly 30 hours on this in just 2 ½ days. That is almost my weeks paycheck, for a glitched infected game, that is no longer keeping my stats.
This can all be swept under the rug if you just go ahead and make KOTOR 3!!!!!

It happened to me on Imperial Kashyyyk. Is it confirmed that pausing the game (back or start) while the Rouge Shadow is docking is what causes this? If so, is there any way to fix a game that appearantly saved with the glitch?
I even played the level before it again and went straight into Kashyyyk, did not pause, did not skip, and the DEFAULT TEXT problem is still there.
I had replayed a few missions to get all the holocrons in them, and have leveled up my character quite nicely. I really don't want to have to start from scratch and undo all the time I've already put into that character. Is there ANY way to recover your game?
EDIT: I've also noticed that neither pause menu has sound anymore, but when you go back into the game itself, the sound is back.
RE-EDIT: I loaded my save game and the sound is back in the pause menu, however the *Default Text glitch is still present.

Confirmed to be a cross-platform glitch that has NOTHING to do with the harddrive or system itself, just a glitch that everyone has a chance of getting.

Started a new game on Sith Master and in TFFacility the glitch exists when you press pause when the rogue shadow is docking, but when you press pause after you gain control of player movement, it disappears...
It probably has something to do with the fact that the Death Star level does not have an opening in-game player introduction...
This is also confirmed by probably well over a hundred people to be a problem on BOTH 360 AND PS3 versions of the game.
Very disappointing.

It's happening to a lot of people. Unfortunately, I don't see a fix anytime soon. Any patch Lucasarts comes up with will still have to be tested via Microsoft Certification and it'll likely be weeks before we see or hear anything.
In the meantime, I plan upon finding all the holocrons anyway in the hopes that when a patch does come out, it retroactively sees I've already done so and gives me the achievement. Doubtful tho.
Does anyone know what the bonus objectives are for the last 4 stages?

GAMEBREAKING GLITCH - The DEFAULT TEXT GLITCH

The Default text glitch is when your save becomes corruption, it's called this because the bonus objective tagline in your mission objectives says "*Default text".
What this means is that every single holocron you pick up, every force point you gain, every objective/level completed will not count/be recognized by the game.
It commonly hits people on the very last level of the game, but people have claimed to have gotten it at earlier points, and if you get the DTG at any point in the game, it's still in effect for the levels following.
There is no known fix for this, I have tried restarting the level, loading the last save, backing out to dashboard, restarting my 360, wiping the 360's cache (hold A while your 360 is starting up), AND performing HDD maintenance.
So far nothing works.
I reloaded the previous level, Imperial Raxus Prime, and the glitch disappears (for that level, or any level prior to the first appearance of the glitch).
I don't believe you can save the same game to a different slot so I can't test a different save slot.
After replaying Imperial Raxus Prime and reaching the Death Star, the glitch is STILL THERE!!!!
I cleared my cache and did HDD maintenence BEFORE I played this game because I heard about all of the troubles with it, but I still got this glitch.
I played through this on Sith Lord and man am I pissed off that the only thing I can do is restart my entire game.
LUCASARTS YOU BETTER COME OUT WITH A PATCH ASAP THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE.
I've spent a lot of time getting here, I'm not even going to play the game anymore until you fix it.
**XPLAY encountered the exact same problem during their review of the game:
