[edit] Darth Vader

I was just watching Star Wars Episode II on Spike TV, and they showed a preview from this game. It said that the player will take on Darth Vader in the first episode of the game (on Kashyyk), and he will be able to use force choke. This should probably be added to the article, but I don't have a source at the moment. -- Tkgd2007 (talk) 00:25, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Time Zones

Use something international for a a release date. It is not going to be summer everywhere in the world when this "multimedia project" comes out. 58.170.215.254 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 10:21, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 'The Wii Version'

Is the wii version going to have all the effects like DMM & Euphoria? Or is it only for the PS3 and X-Box 360 version of the game?

I think the wii version will not have the effects as it is not the seventh generation console.

First, the Wii version has not been confirmed yet. And the Wii is a seven generation console.

The game is in fact on Wii. And yes, it is a seventh gen console.--Kondrayus (talk) 16:37, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

why is it a 7th gen? it processor is basically the same technology as the gamecube. the only thing different is it has slightly more power and wiimote. just because it is release during the period other manufacturer is releasing 7th gen hardware doesn't make it 7th gen. the wii version of the game is not made by lucasart, another studio will be producing it, they are clearly treating it like PS2. :P Akinkhoo (talk) 05:36, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

If this wasn't a knowlegde site, I would have cursed the (Insert Your favourite Vulgar word here)out of you, graphics don't mean "Next-Gen", infact the Wii is the Most next gen as it does something knew. Also they are not treating it like the PS2, its not a port and it has stuff the PS2, 360 and the others don't. Ive seen your Sony fanboy nonsense on other talk pages so do us a favor and Shut Up, Im not some Nintendo fanboy cause i own a 360 and a wii, and i got a ds and a psp so im not some damm fanboy like you (Note, this will be on the discussion page too, aswell as your talk page. And this is for talking about the game, not your stupid and crazy ideas about what next gen is. Mr.Deathhawk (talk) 21:21, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

ow stop saying wii isnt seventh gen just because nintendo thought it was more important to revolutionize the way games are played instead just making the system have better graphics doesnt mean its sixth gen —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thad505 (talk • contribs) 14:11, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

call it what generation you want as i am not here to argue what generation it is, cause it wouldn't change fact of what it is and how well it will be doing, heck if being the latest in generation wins, most people will be using mac then windows ;). the discuss here is about starwars:tfu, and it doesn't change the fact that wii version isn't going to be outsource to other developers and it will not be using lucasart's custom engine. Akinkhoo (talk) 20:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stop adding Wii to the platform list

Lucasarts has not confirmed that the game will be on the Wii. When and only when they do and you have proof provide a link so that we can confirm it and add Wii to the list. Whoever adds the Wii to the article again needs to provide a source here.--Kondrayus (talk) 15:27, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

There is a citation for it in the intro. I clicked to check it, but my employer in the last 48 hours has blocked Lucasarts (and other game publishers, and game review sites). Argh. Anyway, can someone check it out? --EEMIV (talk) 15:49, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
the Wii version was confirmed at the same time as the rest of the consoles, and has been talked about in numerous interviews. Most recentley the ones at Gametrailers.172.201.253.182 (talk) 21:52, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

hey i know it's on nintendo wii because it's on the eb games preorder list for shipment —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wicked.n (talk • contribs) 02:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia Note?

Should this article mention that The Force Unleashed is the second time LucasArts has created a multimedia project that did not connect directly to a film?

The Force Unleashed follows the exact same pattern as Shadows of the Empire: Shadows featured a book, video games, a comic, and action figures. It was also took place between two movies, introduced new charecters along with old ones, and most of all, delved into the mindset of Darth Vader.

I would say a simple note in the trivia section (if there isn't one yet, there will be) would be perfect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.112.51.246 (talk) 03:39, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I apologize. I failed to notice that.--Kondrayus (talk) 16:33, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Here's a Gamespot citation about the Wii version.[1] Personally, it looks like the Wii version will be the most fun... EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:43, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] releases apr 8?

can anyone determine the validity of the release date mentioned here? http://www.gametrailers.com/player/29964.html Xenocidic (talk) 19:28, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

It's simply speculation, the only reliable source for a release dates is LucasArts and all they have said is "Summer 2008", until LA announce a date, Summer 2008 is what should be used. Peptastic (talk) 05:58, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Many sites are using Sep 16 as the release date now. That should be cited and used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Radman622 (talk • contribs) 16:20, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

It already is... xenocidic (talk) 16:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ToDo: Cite Havok/DMM/Euphoria section

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/29964.html Here's a GameTrailers video that should suffice as a citation for this section; I don't feel like writing out an actual cite tag, though. If somebody else would do this, I'd appreciate it. HoCkEy PUCK (talk) 00:36, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Order 66

Hi, In the last paragraph of this article, there is a reference to something called 'order 66'.

What is that? I've never heard of it.

PS. this was placed on the main page of the article before, my bad! Robin.lemstra (talk) 08:58, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

It is the order Palpatine delivers that calls for the murder of all the Jedi. The article on Order 66 was recently deleted, hence no helper-outer link. I'm running out the door to work right now, but if no one beats me to it, I'll clarify this article's text later this morning. --EEMIV (talk) 12:06, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] tie-in novel/action figures/comic book/reference book/role-playing game supplement

The release date of these things really needs a reference or needs to be removed, does anyone have a source for the date? I saw it got changed from August 26 to April 1st ('08) by an anonymous ip[2], but neither dates included a source.. Peptastic (talk) 00:24, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wii = ?

Does the Wii version use DMM, Euphoria, and Havok? —Preceding


The wii version will not have DMM, Euphoria, and Havok. Those features are only on X-Box 360 and PS3. Instead the wii version will have 5 extra levels. --Chatterson (talk) 02:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


unsigned comment added by 12.206.95.207 (talk) 20:25, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Do you have any source that can confirm this? Samuitsuki (talk) 20:48, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


Unfortunately it's true, though I beleive it still has Havok: http://www.forceunleashed.net/news/exclusive-force-unleashed-levels-for-wii/ The Wii version not only gets 5 extra levels, it also has a multi-player mode as well to make up for this. Thesilverfalcon (talk) 02:44, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

There are several videos for the Force Unleashed on it's minisite on Lucasarts.com One of them (the non conventional console release video) goes into detail on the features of the Wii, PS2, PSP, and DS version. Notably, the alleged N-gage version is not mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Radman622 (talk • contribs) 16:24, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lego

A lego set of 'The Rogue Shadow' has been released as part of a 'Force Unleashed' line [3]. Should this be mentioned? It contains a named character: 'Juno Eclipse, an Imperial officer', a battle damaged Darth Vader and Vader's apprentice --210.56.71.193 (talk) 04:37, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Seventh Generation

I changed the phrase from "next" generation to "seventh" generation, since the next generation will technically be the eigth generation.

I meant to explain the edit in the edit comments, but I accidently hit enter after typing two words. SirVenom (talk) 07:04, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

True enough. Don't forget to link to the relevant article explaning the term when doing so - [[History of video game consoles (seventh_generation)|seventh generation]]. xenocidic (talk) 14:34, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Ah, yes. Forgot about that, thanks. SirVenom (talk) 19:28, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IT'S COMING OUT FOR PC TOO YOU FUCKS.

I went ahead and removed this because it is offensive,and it is vandilism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.18.132.25 (talk) 04:02, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Nice work! No need to justify such a good faith vandal reversion on the talk page. Have you considered creating an account? xenocidic (talk) 04:09, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
