“No Jedi in history has ever used the force the way that the secret apprentice uses the force …he’s a force wrecking ball. He’s unstoppable
– Sam Witwer LucasArts
Star Wars The Force Unleashed is the next BIG game from LucasArts (and its coming for the Wii too).
In a recent production video (linked below), LucasArt big wigs give some color on the characters in the game.
The big five characters:
The secret apprentice that’s the character you play in the game
Juno Eclipse – she’s the love interest and is an imperial pilot that ferries the appretice around the galaxy
General Koda – a hardboiled Jedi Master
Proxy – the droid sidekick
Darth Vader
In the video, the game’s production lead describes the Secret Apprentice as a Dark Luke Skywalker – what Luke would have been like had he joined Vader.

We’ve been waiting for this for a long time. IN fact almost since the day the Wii launched fans have been begging for the ultimate Star Wars experience on the Wii.
We now know when it’s coming: Spring 2008.
That’s when The Force Unleashed hits the Wii with an exclusive dual mode option that will let you wield your Wiimote the way it was intended – as a lightsaber!!!!
“The Wii is a great platform for The Force Unleashed, because the console’s motion-oriented controllers really bring the game to life,” said Jim Ward, President of LucasArts in a statement. “We’ve worked hard to make the Wii version of the game unique in order to truly let you unleash the Force.”
The Wii version, in development by Krome Studios, will also add an exclusive duel mode in which players can compete head-to-head with their friends to determine the ultimate Jedi Master.
If you didn’t have a reason for owning a Wii before – now you do.

Star Wars video games have long been a hit and miss exercise. From the highs of Knights of the Old Republic to crap like Jedi Power Battles. Star Wars video games for next generation consoles may well be a real hit, especially on the Wii.
On the Nintendo Wii you can literally stretch out with your feelings (or WiiMote/Nunchuk) and strike down your enemy.
Don’t believe me? Check out this vid of Star Wars on the Wii. It’ll blow you away. I can hardly wait.
