The first of these two packs will introduce the ability to play the game as some of your favorite characters from the Star Wars universe. Whether you enjoy the newcomers like Kit Fisto and Ki-Adi-Mundi, or you prefer to jump back to the classics like Obi-Wan Kenobi and the beloved Luke Skywalker, players have the option to pick a new hero for the game.

Later this year, the second pack of content will be distributed, this time giving Starkiller himself an entirely new mission to master. Heading to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, The Apprentice seeks to discover the truth about his father -- but on the way must confront his own past. In this new area, the player will truly have their skills tested with the barrage of enemies they must face.

The LucasArts team is currently developing this content internally. Though the release date and pricing are still to be determined, keep an eye on The Force Unleashed official website for more updates.

Thirty-one years ago, the first Star Wars movie galvanized audiences around the word, sparking a phenomenon that has spanned generations. With today's release of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, one of the most highly anticipated video games of the year, LucasArts proves that the Force is stronger than ever.

Available now on home game systems, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force and casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice," unveiling new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy seen through the eyes of this mysterious new character, who is armed with unprecedented powers.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is not only LucasArts' first internally developed title for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 systems, but also represents the first in-game collaboration of talents and technology between LucasArts and sister company Industrial Light & Magic. The end result is a game authentic to the world in which it is set, unique in its presentation and unforgettable as a Star Wars experience.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed also breaks new ground on these consoles by taking full advantage of newly developed technologies experienced for the first time together: Digital Molecular Matter, by Pixelux Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion. These technologies imbue objects and enemies with the ability to react with incredible realism, bringing depth and richness to the Star Wars galaxy that is unprecedented for a video game, and showcasing the unique blend of storytelling, technology and interactive entertainment that is the hallmark of LucasArts.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is now available in a store near you.

Jedi Power's Rant,

Now I have a bit of a problem with The Force Unleashed coming to iPhone, especially being it won't be on the PC. LucasArts stated that there were to many variables to creating this game for the PC, so they didn't do it because they wanted the quality to be high. Forgive me, but the iPhone is great, but the quality of the game won't be to the level of a PS3, Wii, or 360. So I would have taken a little lesser game to allow me to play the game without having to buy a console to do it. PC users have been totally abandoned by LucasArts! No The Force Unleashed, No Clone Wars, No Battlefront III, and the list will go on I'm sure. Sorry to sound bitter, but I am. I have been a very loyal PC gamer from the first Star Wars game release. I just hate being "put out to pasture."

Also, is there a sequel to the game already planned? "Story-wise, we left some openings for a sequel," said Blackman. "The concept of 'The Force Unleashed' could be taken in any direction. We could potentially do a 'Force Unleashed' game set in a different 'Star Wars' time period with a new storyline. We were definitely cognizant to leave some doors open at the end." Be sure to read the entire article.

Update!

As promised, the Movies Section has been updated with a downloadable copy! Be sure to see  The Force Unleashed Trailer in HD! You can find this video clip in the Video Game Scenes

"Retailer Amazon has listed tentative dates and platforms for Star Wars Battlefront III, long rumored to be in development at Free Radical, developers of Haze and Timesplitters. While we've been under the impression that the UK based dev was hard at work we didn't know how hard at work they are. According to Amazon, Battlefront III is coming to everything — Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, DS, PSP, PlayStation 2. OK, not everything, since it doesn't list a PC version, but if these listings are accurate, anyone and everyone will have access to a version of the game come March 2009. We await more news at E3 next week."

If the information was on Amazon, it has now been yanked off of the site. To many spoilers to soon? However, I am really having a big problem with LucasArts right now. Out of the entire list of gaming platforms, the most important (to me at least) is that the PC will not be getting this game. Another smash hit left off of the PC platform! I still play the Battlefront II game nightly on-line and really enjoy it. I guess I will no longer be able to use my PC as a gaming platform, and that really stinks! What's next? Having to create Galactic Voyage webpages from a Wii?
