Talk:Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (video game)


 * Erm...is it just me or is this the same thing as Darth Vader video game? &mdash;MarcK [talk] 06:29, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * what major roll does Darth Vader have in this game?
 * I think, though Vader is not the Principal Character, this game will try to go a long way in revealing more of Vader's history through the eyes of the PC. In some sense, therefore, the game is about him. --Israi 01:40, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I have a few problems with what I see already; first of all, I know it's semantics, but Vader's Apprentice is not and cannot be a Sith Apprentice. There can only be two, so if this is supposed to be canonical, it needs to get straightened out. He would be most like Asajj Ventress, in that he would be apprenticed to a Sith, but not be a Sith since there are already two. Second of all, Vader cannot use force lightning, so why would his apprentice be able to? The only answer there is he gleaned it from a holocron or other source of Sith information. I suggest having him come across the ability in-game. Third and final for now is the apparent proposition that lightsaber fighting will be taking a back seat to force power usage. That doesn't make since, since once again, Vader wouldn't teach combat like that since Vader himself is supposed to be a lightsaber virtuoso. I just hope that's just a poorly judged assumption on my part, because non-stop force power usage might get dull without some lightsaber action mixed in.
 * The Rule of Two is nothing more than a technicality... just because Vader couldn't technically call his apprentice the "Sith Apprentice" doesn't mean he isn't a Sith or Vader's apprentice. The Rule of Two is a self-imposed rule, not any real barrier. Besides, Vader has had at least one secret apprentice outside of this new one, Tao. Additionally, his attempts to capture Luke were part of his plan to make Luke his apprentice, and then overthrow the Emperor. So there is plenty of precedent for the new character as a Sith apprentice... just not the Sith apprentice. The problem about Vader teaching the apprentice skills outside his own strengths is a bit of an eyebrow-raiser but not totally beyond the realm of possibility. As you suggested, it is possible if not probable that either Vader or the apprentice has learned from a holocron, as those seem to have been making more and more appearances in EU material. And, from concept art, I assume there is plenty of lightsaber action to be had, in addition to force powers. Israi 04:52, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Also look at Darth Sidious and Maul. They were master and apprentice while Sidious was still under the training of Darth Plagueis.


 * Is there a specifice place I can get more info on Darth Plagueis? I haven't found much about him yet. I have assumptions, but no canon. One final thought... Obi-Wan would make an excellent cameo appearance. It's stated in the movies that Vader and Obi haven't seen one another since the time of Anakin's defeat at Obi's hands, but nothing is said of Vader's Apprentice. It would make for a great battle, an actual unavoidable loss, a possible chance to be turned to the light, and reason for a sequel. I think it could be an amazing plot tool.
 * Because it's not like cameos of celebrity characters don't occur in Star Wars games ALL the freaking time. Plot tool schmot tool. A cameo is nothing more than an appeasement to fanboys who would rather see their old favorite characters than actually get to know the new ones who are telling the story. --Israi 18:28, 25 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey what can I say... Obi-wan's the true Chosen One. It would be cool if Vader chose his Apprentice based on not how powerful he was but because his Apprentice had a potential to become what Vader could not, a savior to the galaxy.

Game Confirmation
The newest Game Informer cover confirms the game's title and that you are Vader's secret apprentice.

PC Version
Is it known yet if this game will be released for PC or not? - 85.250.103.34
 * No official word yet.--Ranat 23 00:42, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Doubtful GMo 05:45, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I sure hope they do, but I doubt it. They seem to snob PC users these days. Still, since it will be released on the X360, I guess there's some hope. Microsoft might make a push to have this on Vista.

Update from IGN
Three new updates from IGN. Links have been added to the bottom.--Ranat 23 00:09, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Felucia

 * I just saw the most recent "Secrets of Star Wars 07" image showing Felucia and it looks more like it was rendered as opposed to a peice of concept art. Could this be a screenshot of the Felucia footage that IGN reported back when they first broke news of the game at E3? DarthMaul431 02:33, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

"Greatly Exaggerated"
PLEASE don't tell me that the "Rutian Twi'lek Jedi" is our dearly departed friend Ayyla Secura. If it is, so help me, I will shoot myself multiple times. Of course, I might just somehow survive that happening to me...Darth Ceratis 01:45, 28 November 2006 (UTC)


 * It's possible... I mean Lucas did talk with the actress about the Live-Action show.. remember all those rumors? GMo 05:45, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I recall some discussion, somewhere, about cyborg things. Sorry, I have no idea where I read it. But perhaps they're going to try to pull a Darth Maul on us. --Israi 17:34, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Hope
I hope that they will change their minds and release it to pc.

I hope this game would be awesome. --Leon Skywalker 02:48, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Hehe, it will be a shocking revelation when i see Han the darksider in this game (and who later promises not to use his powers anymore :D).

Split
Should we have a separate article for the "Force Unleashed" multimedia project, with the game at "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed"? We already know there is a toy line, and spinoff novels and comics have been rumoured - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 20:09, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. I second that. 71.227.210.212 22:06, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Huh?
"Rogue Shadow?" The Death Star? I haven't heard any of this. Kuralyov 07:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No idea on the first, though the last Secrets of Star Wars '07 image does bear a resemblance to the DS trench. However, I believe one of the reports on this game makes mention of a "TIE production facility", so I think this might just be wishful thinking - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 16:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Love Interest?
What is the source for this new information regarding Juno Eclipse as the PC's love interest? I haven't been able to find it on the official game website.... Israi 04:57, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * March Issue of Game Informer Dench 17:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks. Israi 20:06, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Multiple Endings
Is it confirmed they have Light and Dark side endings? What a waste to save Shaak Ti and then kill her... 71.126.55.62
 * Multiple endings have been confirmed, but I don't know whether the nature of them has. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 23:11, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Who says that's Executor?
Just looks like a wedge-shaped Imperial warship to me.Vymer 02:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, and the crashing Star Destroyers is a new type, a cross between the ones in the prequels and the ones in the original trilogy. Dench 00:58, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Wii (At least me) would like to play!
The Wii is a next-gen system, right? And The Force Unleashed is being released for all of the next-gen systems, so why is the Wii not listed under platforms? Has it been announced it won't come out for the Wii? I mean, the Remote is a lightsaber... Jedipilot94 00:28, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not been announced for Wii yet, but LucasArts is developing another game for the Wii. [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 09:06, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
