Story
Concept art depicting two Star Destroyers and two TIE fightersStar Wars: The Force Unleashed tells the story of Darth Vader's secret apprentice, code-named "Starkiller" but born Galen Marek, as he hunts down the remaining Jedi after Emperor Palpatine orders them killed. Set between Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, the story explores the aftermath of the Great Jedi Purge as well as the rise of Darth Vader. The events of The Force Unleashed are "pivotal" in Darth Vader's history and development as a character, and offer illumination into other characters from A New Hope, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.


Novel
Sean Williams' novelization was released in the United States on August 19, 2008. It spent one week as #1 on both Publishers Weekly's and The New York Times' hardcover fiction bestsellers lists, slipping to #7 and #9, respectively, the following week. It also reached #15 on USA Today's bestsellers list.

Williams took on the writing project in part because of the "catchy description" of The Force Unleashed being "Episode 3.5" of the Star Wars saga. The novel focuses on the dark side of the Force and its practitioners; Williams found it "interesting" to portray the Jedi as "bad guys". The author most enjoyed developing the character of Juno Eclipse, exploring the "feminine" side of The Force Unleashed in a way the video game does not. Williams also said that while the game allows the player to "do" Starkiller's actions, the novel allows readers to experience Starkiller's thoughts about those actions, adding another dimension to the story.

I did play the demo, but I need tosave money this month...I realy like the force blast.

I have been waiting for I don't know how long for this game to come out, and now it's two weeks or so away from hitting the shelves mrgreen

A co-worker brought his XBOX 360 into work so that way I could play the demo, and OMFG!!! this game is going to kick so much a**!! The demo was just incredible. I had heard about how much of a free reign the player is given with Force abilities, but holy roller, I hadn't expected just how much of a free reign and what you'll be capable of doing.

I absolutely cannot wait any longer!!

I don't about anywhere else, but at the game store I work at, we'll be doing a midnight release for the game along with a costume contest X3

They are always fun! X3

I won't be able to compete myself, but I will be in costume nonetheless!

But I was just reading in the new EGM that the game was given a C grade! XP
I never listen to what reviews and critics say. To each his own tastes if you ask me, and I for one am absolutely dying to get my hands on this game!!
