So, I was playing The Force Unleashed Dark Side DLC Hoth mission, and I noticed that among the many lightsabers on your belt is a hilt which looks like it was cut in two. Upon closer inspection, I realized it had been. It was half of Darth Maul's weapon. TFU came out in 2008. Darth Maul returned in The Clone Wars in 2012, using that half-saberstaff. Later in the next season, Maul was defeated(and seemingly killed for good, until the first Son of Dathomir comic came out) by Sidious. Since Sidious presumably gave you the various weapons, that is really odd.

Now for the other odd coincidence. The characters Galen Marek/Starkiller and Ashoka Tano were both introduced in 2008, both were their respective order's equivalent ranks(Starkiller an Apprentice and Tano a Padawan), both favored the unorthodox reverse Shien grip, and both had a close relationship with the same person, Vader/Anakin. It gets even weirder. In 2011, The Force Unleashed II came out, in which Starkiller uses two lightsabers and the duel-wielding variant of Niman(well actually Starkiller uses a hybrid of Juyo, Ataru and Shien). That year in Season 3 of The Clone Wars, Ashoka does the exact same thing, but with the traditional Niman. Oh yeah, and it seems that soon Ashoka will also fight Darth Vader. IN THE SAME IN-UNIVERSE YEAR GALEN DID. If Vader gets his helmet damaged in that fight I'll scream.
