LucasArts has finally broken their silence on Star Wars: Force Unleashed and released the above web documentary. Project Lead Haden Blackman describes how three new state-of-the-art technologies are merging to create an unprecedented and unscripted next-gen experience on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 this summer. Hit the jump to see the full trailer inside...
There's just something about watching the new main character (yet another in an apparent long line of Vader apprentices) carry his light saber behind his back. It's totally pointless, and offers nothing to the game in terms of story or gameplay functionality. Yet, it's just so damn cool. He makes Samuel Jackson's purple lightsaber look positively mundane. Without a doubt, I'll be carrying my lightsaber like that from here forth.
Impressed yet?
If this does actually arrive during the summer it has the potential to be a monster. We haven't seen a traditional Star Wars game hit it huge since Star Wars Battlefront 2 in 2005. LucasArts seems to be keenly aware of this and is actually considering the story included in Force Unleashed to be cannon in the Star Wars mythos. For those that don't know, the game takes place between both movie trilogies.
If Unleashed continues to shape up like it appears, it could be the first Star Wars game to truly simulate the full powers of the force conveyed in the films.
I can't wait.

I'm just happy to see you get to play as a Dark Jedi. There's no question that'll be more fun than being a good guy -- about time.
