I agree with everyone its a great game but it lacks in the story department.

I dont think that it would lack as much if you hadn't played the first one and experienced alot of the same stuff already.

1. That's patently ridiculous: it is a sequel, so discounting player experiences of the first game is absurd.

2. Notwithstanding this assessment, you are still wrong.

The main problem is that a lot of story content was cut from the game. A lot of that content was critical to the story.

No, the main problem was that no enough effort, time and money was spent on writing the story in the first place. Subsequently, large swathes of the story was cut, which had the effect of making the holes in the plot large enough to drive a Death Star through without touching the sides.
