The New York Times website has an
interesting article about the turnaround of LucasArts and their current quest to
be #1 in the video game industry. In that article, there is discussion that can
lead you to believe that there is a Darth Vader game coming on the horizon.
There is a lot of time to bridge between Episode III and IV, so it would make
sense to use this medium to show some of what happened to Darth Vader during
that time.
"Their excitement was palpable on a recent afternoon, when Mr. Ward, Mr.
Hirschmann and Haden Blackman, the project leader of a forthcoming "Star Wars"
game, reviewed all of the company's recent projects. Mr. Blackman outlined a new
storyline that delved deeper into Darth Vader's history."
"Mr. Hirschmann later demonstrated a test game, shouting and jumping each
time a storm trooper tumbled onscreen, the character barely catching his fingers
on the pixel ledge. And he gleefully explained how researchers had tracked down
images of San Francisco buildings from 1915 for the future Indiana Jones
game."
