When Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II descends upon the million of Star Wars fanboys and girls (I’m serious, it’s the best selling Star Wars game of all time!) on October 26th, it will be unleashing some ‘jedi fury’ upon not only the PS3, but every system currently known to man that can sell a decent amount of copies.

The Empire Strikes Home with Exclusive PlayStation Home Content
Thursday, August 5th, 2010

It is perhaps the greatest sequel to any film of all time and it’s about to turn 3o years young..it is…Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back!! What better way to celebrate this milestone in movie history then with a barrage of PlayStation Home content!?! Star Wars fans who also happen to be PS Home fans should definitely check this out, as not only do we get new and excited SW-related costumes, but we also receive a brand-new spanking public space featuring one of the more iconic locations in the trilogy’s history!

So what location am I talking about?? The Mos Eisley Cantina!! For those of you who need a reminder, this is where Luke and Obi-Wan meet Han for the first time on Tatooine in Star Wars: A New Hope. Yeah, it doesn’t have much to do with TESB, but hey..a new public space is always welcomed in PS Home!

The Mos Eisley Catina is faithfully recreated starring Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes house band and Wuher, the bartender who also happens to hate droids. As you can see in the screens, the team at LucasArts did one heck of a job transfering the location to the digital world.

Finally, some Empire Strikes Back specific content is coming in the way off the following costumes: Imperial Snowtrooper Suit, AT-AT Pilot Suit, Rebel Snowspeeder Pilot, Han Solo Hoth Outfit, Leia Organa Hoth Outfit, Chewbacca Wookiee Costume, and C-3PO Protocol Droid Costume.

So ‘Use the Force’ this Thursday, August 4th on PlayStation Home to check out some of this new and exciting content. The Star Wars nerd inside us all demands it! Now if we could only get a Boba Fett costume, my life would be complete..

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II Gets Tactical
Monday, July 12th, 2010

When Star Wars: The Force Unleashed landed in 2008, it quickly became one of the best selling Star Wars games of all time. Even though it was a commercial hit, many critics and gamers looked past the awesomeness of being a badass Sith warrior simply because of the persistent glitches and horrid AI. The team at LucasArts has listened though. TFU II won’t be a ‘force’ push around this time. It’s time to get ‘tactical’ with this game, my fellow Star Wars fans.

Thursday, May 6th, 2010
