"I spoke with "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" project lead Haden Blackman late last week about the game's newly-announced autumn downloadable content of new player characters and a bonus Jedi Temple level.

A few things came up that hadn't made the press release that I believe are important for gamers to know, since they show how LucasArts is handling its DLC differently than many other publishers and developers:"

Consider this a head's up from MTV Multiplayer, where we've played the full game, that the "SW:TFU" demo is a bit misleading..."

DailyGame: As you read in our review, The Force Unleashed's story provides the level of intrigue we were hoping for in the prequels but never got. The narrative is really quite good, and its position as official Star Wars canon really fills in some serious holes. There is a bit of a non-canon Easter Egg, though, and it's a doozy.

Playstation Blog: The game is finally done, after several years of hard work by an incredibly talented team, and I can now just enjoy playing the game and begin to reflect on the experience of building it. When I do look back on the development effort, I'm amazed and humbled by the fact that we actually managed to finish the game. As the first internally-developed title from LucasArts in quite some time, we bit off several huge challenges, including: building a brand new game engine and tools from scratch for two new (at the time we started, anyway) platforms (including PlayStation 3); crafting a new story that bridges the gap between the two Star Wars trilogies; assembling a new team that had never worked together before; and integrating new and cutting-edge simulation-based technologies. Along the way, we also formed a new and unique partnership with our sister company Industrial Light & Magic, and worked closely with Krome Studios in Australia on the PS2 and PSP versions of the game.

TGR - "While we don't yet know when the next batch of consoles will be released, we do know that all three companies are already hard at work on the next-next generation, and as a result they're in the market for parts. According to recent reports, Intel has been wooing Microsoft in order to get its Larrabee chipset into the new Xbox 720. The company is eager to get a console deal (they are also reportedly in talks with Sony) so they can compete with other major manufacturers and drum up interest in Intel-powered PCs amongst the gamer crowd."
