The sequel to 2008′s Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is set for release later this month, and to prepare fans for the launch, Lucas Arts has released the official launch trailer for the game. Featuring both narrative and cinematic gameplay, the trailer is sure to please both hardcore Star Wars fans and action-adventure aficionados alike.
Those of you Star Wars fans out there, who don’t mind popping into PlayStation Home every now and then, have a reason to take notice, as Pablo Hidalgo, co-host of Celebration V (Star Wars fan convention) will be entering PlayStation Home, for a limited time tonight, for some impromptu Q&A sessions.
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. Or that was the case, until the Empire had their way. PlayStation Portable fans, you might want to cover your eyes..cause I gotta bad feeling about this!
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..
Despite above-average reviews, the original Star Wars: The Force Unleashed went on to become the best-selling Star Wars game ever. Executive Producer and writer of the series, Haden Blackman, has always been a figure-head for the series, appearing in non-stop interviews and in magazines talking about his passion for the Star Wars franchise and his love Starkiller and The Force Unleashed series. As of today though, Haden’s passion is going to be looking elsewhere, as he has resigned from LucasArts after being with the company for OVER a decade. The series has lost a ‘Master Jedi’ and it wasn’t those pesky Sith’s fault this time.
Even though it was plagued by clumsy platforming and somewhat repetitive gameplay, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed quickly became the fastest-selling LucasArts and Star Wars title of all time, selling a million copies in the first month and over 7 million in total. Thanks to some recent behind the scenes information unveiled, The Force Unleashed could have been a vastly different game if not for George Lucas of all people turning down a seriously ‘wookie’ pitch. Hey, he had to make up for Jar Jar Binks sometime.
2010 now has the ultimate nerdgasm. Starkiller, Darth Vader’s secret apprentice, will make his epic return this October and with him, he’ll bring his arsenal of crazy Force-style moves, in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II.

PlayStation Home is the destination for many PlayStation 3 users who want nothing more than to just sit back and relax with friends. However if you’ve gotten off your avatar’s virtual behind, you may have noticed a poster popping up in both the Theatre and the American Mall on PlayStation Home.
Star Wars fanatics have been waiting for a console follow up to Star Wars: Battlefront II, which released in 2005. However, it seems the wait for this sequel may be over.
Well, looks like LucasArts was wrong about us being wrong. The company stated that no one was right at the predicting what the new Star Wars game would be announced at the VGAs.
