Jeff Rubenstein on Official PlayStation.Blog:

"I'm pretty confident that any gamer with at least a passing interest in the Star Wars universe knows that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is coming to the PLAYSTATION 3, PS2, and PSP this month (September 16th, to be exact).

That's why SCEA is teaming up with LucasArts and Best Buy to mark the midnight release of the game in San Francisco on the night of September 15th - and everyone's invited to the launch party. Beginning at 7pm, the 1717 Harrison St. Best Buy location (that's my hood!) will feature appearances by Sam Witwer (Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice - and main character of the game), as well as a number of other cast members. From the game development side, Executive Producer Haden Blackman and others from LucasArts will be on hand. Attendees will be able to play the full version of the game in advance, and take photos with Star Wars characters."

joystiq writes: we can only imagine how dejected you must feel right now, sitting at home with a tummy full of popcorn and a heart brimming with disappointment. Your friends and family inquire about the reason for your sorrows, until they notice the tear-soaked ticket stub for Star Wars: The Clone Wars lying on your dresser. No amount of playing with your highly collectible Mego Han Solo seems to help -- your infatuation with George Lucas' epic space opera is dwindling, flickering like a candle in the unforgiving wind.

From the article:

"As if fans really need another reason to get psyched about the upcoming animated Star Wars: Clone Wars film, Toys R Us is having an in-store midnight sales event featuring Clone Wars products and also giving away four five-feet tall Clone Wars action figures."

Toys R Us is also offering free shipping on select items including many LucasArts videogames including Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Thrillville and Lego: Indiana Jones. Several videogames include a buy-one-get-one-half-price offer. Also:

"To help promote the event, Toys R Us is also giving away four life-size (as in five feet tall) action figures. Depending on the week, you could win a large-scale Anakin, Captain Rex, Obi-Wan or Ahsoka figure. You can enter once per day via the "Galactic Star Wars Sweepstakes" web site."

Consider it "Star Wars III and a Half" - complete with a pivotal plot twist. When LucasArts releases "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" on Sept. 16, the video game will serve as George Lucas' official median between 2005's "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" and 1977's "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope." In the game, players become Darth Vader's secret apprentice and use The Force to hunt the remaining Jedi.

Ripten's Chad Lakkis writes:

"Not sure I completely understand the marketing angle being taken by LucasArts, but who am I to judge their uberness. This is the second trailer to reveal a few of the games plot twists - the first being right here.

The primary difference between the first video and this video, is that the first simply discusses a few of the games details, while this video is a 2 minute montage of actual in-game moments that should not be watched by anyone uninterested in seeing how the story possibly unfolds.

I say "possibly" because, as our own Jonathan Zungre reported to you from GDC via Ripten TV several months ago, LucasArts has mentioned that you will have the ability to make choices within the game that deccide the path you travel. He added that while you start the game off on the Dark Side - that may not neccissarily be where you end up.

So to recap, the trailer looks really nice, but you definity should not watch it unless you really like spoilers."

This weekend we were a bit bored (... lonely and perhaps, sad) so bugger it, we said, and stuck on the Star Wars prequels, which weren't quite as rubbish as we remembered. Though we'd been drinking at the time, tea of course. Having said that, we really hope that LucasArts doesn't make the same mistakes as the controversial new trilogy in the Force Unleashed. ... » Read More

Phil Meza reports: "Star Wars The Force Unleashed, LucasArts' first current-gen adventure in the post - Hayden Christensen saga, has been slowly lifting its curtain over the past few months as we've gotten word on a release date and more. The Wii version's Duel Mode has been getting its fair shar of press lately, and the PSP/DS's wi-fi play is sure to notice soon; but the multiplayer component for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions (which was confirmed nearly a year ago), has been on media blackout."
