If the recent cavalcade of video previews for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was enough to whet your appetite for some midichlorian-infused carnage, then we've got great news: LucasArts recently confirmed that they will be following through with their promise to bring a demo for the title to the XBLM and PSN this month -- a playable preview will be downloadable via the two services starting Thursday, August 21.
The demo takes place during one of the first levels in the game, known as the "TIE Fighter Construction Facility" -- we assume it's the same area featured in the recent batch of previews for the title. It will also contain a training mode which will allow the player to get a firm grasp on the Force Grip power. However, we know the question that's on everyone's mind -- will any of those adorable Ewoks be present? We can only hope.

Cool, wasn't expecting this. Looks like I'll have something new to try out on Thursday.
I'm hoping the game ends up being at least pretty good. It's the only 360 title coming out in September that I want.

Is this the stage I keep hearing about throwing TIE Fighters?
I'm definately considering this game (though my current list is quite long at the moment). The demo is greatly appreciated.
Now if only they'd demo up Soul Calibur IV...

The fact that they are so willful to let people have hands on time with this game makes me happy and optimistic.
They have to put in a bonus level in the hanger where its just you and jar-jar. And your Darth Vader. Oh the joys of hearing him scream "ANNI NOOOOOO!!!" as I hurled him through a tie fighter. Then sent another tie fighter on top of that one.
...
Then force lightning(ed?) the whole pile until it exploded.
