Force Unleashed getting Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan skins, new missions

by Xav de Matos on Sep 30th 2008 12:30PM

Star Wars is popular for the multitude of memorable characters yet every decent Star Wars game is based on completely different people within the universe. Sure, The Force Unleashed main character Starkiller is cool but wouldn't it be fun to go all "Force crazy" as Luke Skywalker or Obi-Wan? LucasArts agrees and has announced plans via news release to add new character skins for the main character which will allow gamers to play as Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan, Ki-Adi-Mundi and Kit Fisto.

LucasArts also announced plans to release a new mission in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, where the Apprentice will learn more about his father and battle his inner demons while navigating through the rubble of a destroyed building.

No amount of Jedi Mind Tricks were able to extract the pricing or release details from our contacts at LucasArts. The Force is strong with them. For another image of the re-skinned Apprentice do as the Xbox ads say, jump in.

Can't polish a turd!

Not a fan, I suppose?

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

While I love the idea of new characters, I hate they are just skins. I think it would have been more than possible to make new Characters. I would rather have 1 or 2 new models, than 4 or 5 new skins. I don't want to see Obi-Wan with a Backwards Red Lightsaber, this is actually more of a disspointment than a blessing to me! neo

I'm with you.

I enjoyed the game but I don't need horse armor thanks.

New skins, ok... but the new mission is what im all about!

If they're tossing in skins just for fan happiness (and the only one of the 4 that even makes sense in the story is Obi-Wan), why not add 4 popular characters, instead of 2 popular, and then scrubs like Kit Fisto and Ki-Adi Mundi, who were killed before the game even starts anyway?

They'd be better off adding Mace Windu so the Samuel L. Jackson fans can use him. Or add Mara Jade... she's popular with the book crowd.

I agree with neolego though, I'd rather have new models with new animations/stances/etc.
