The Force Unleashed - updated impressions

DS News | Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

When it comes to the Star Wars universe, Haden Blackman is the most knowledgeable man alive (outside of George Lucas, of course). At one point in his career, he was the guy in charge of continuity across every single piece of Star Wars product in existence. Now, LucasArts has tapped his veritable font of wisdom and lore by making him the project lead for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, which takes place during the tumultuous-but-unexplored years between Episodes III and IV. LucasArts invited us ...

* There will be character and lightsaber customization, although you won't be able to dual-wield or have dual-bladed lightsabers

* The Wii version of the game will include a two-player duel mode where you can show off your lightsaber skills against a friend in the same room.
