Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 To Unearth The Starkiller!!!

LucasArts work in creating Star Wars games is nothing but astonishing in recent years. Being a Star Wars fan myself, I really look forward to every Star Wars things which are released since 1977, whether they are movies or games and their first video game for all consoles which was Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was absolutely heart-warming. After the first Force Unleashed commercial success, they have decided to launch a sequel called, Ironically, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II. The will be released for the holiday season 2010. However, the rumor is the game will be officially released on 31st Dec, 2010.

As you know, the player controls Starkiller who even though being a child of two Jedi, becomes a secret apprentice of Darth Vader. Darth Vader uses him to kill the Jedi who was the only one to survive the Jedi purge of Palpatine. To see, Starkiller is actually not a villain but is under a bad company.

This game allows Starkiller to come up from the bad shadow of Darth Vader and become something more heroic, something greater. This character is actually based on Anakin Starkiller who eventually becomes Luke Skywalker.

Haden Blackman, the figure behind the production of both the games of this series has kept his lips closed and not reveled much about the game. He only has to say that as the player will control Starkiller, this time the game will take place after the events of the first game and in between the events of the movie Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
He also assures us that this time, the game will be even more interesting and entertaining as more emphasis has been put on the graphics and music. If you want to try this game then you have to bear $59.99.

Force Unleashed Could Have Been a Wookie “Superhero” Game…

Before eventually settling on the concept for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, the game’s developers toyed with several other game ideas, including an “over-the-top” Wookie “superhero” game that was rejected by George Lucas himself.

In an interview published in the June 2010 issue of GamePro, LucasArts veterans Haden Blackman and Julio Torres recalled the time when, in early 2005, the team was tasked with creating an ambitious new Star Wars franchise that would be driven by a new videogame.

“At one point we were kicking around an idea where you were playing a Wookie,” recalled Blackman, who said the design was inspired by Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

“It was going to be a big open world, and you’d be running around, and you’d be able to grab the heads of AT-STs and throw them at stormtroopers,” said Blackman. “It was a very over the top-style superhero game.”

According to Blackman, the idea was rejected by George Lucas himself, who said that the new game franchise needed to focus on character interaction and dialog.

“He just looked at me and said, ‘I just spent the last half hour talking to you about the importance of characters talking to each other, and you pitch me a game idea where the main character can’t talk?” said Blackman.

Earlier today, LucasArts announced that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II will be available October 26.
