Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Evidently there is a new Star Wars video game in production from LucasArts called Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. The idea is that this game follows the storyline between Episode III and IV. If what I’ve read is correct though, I’m really conflicted.
What I’ve read is that the game follows the secret apprenctice of Darth Vader during the time between Episode III and IV. If that’s the case, it goes against the rules outlined by Yoda in Episode I; “Always 2 there are, a master and an apprentice”. If this game follows the apprentice of Darth Vader, who is the apprentice of the Emperor, then that would make 3.
Aside from that, the trailer makes the game look pretty cool. But, then the trailers always do. I’ve been sorely disappointed in some of the previous Star Wars games. So, I hope LucasArts redeems themselves with this one.
It looks like it’s going to be out sometime in 2008 for most of the popular consoles like XBox 360, Nintendo DS, and PS3.
I’m sure I’ll have to grab a copy when it comes out. I just hope it lives up to the reputation set by the movies, and is not a disappointment like some of the previous games.
