The first details of LucasArts' PS3 and Xbox 360 Star Wars project have finally emerged, from the latest issue of US mag Game Informer. It's called Star Wars: Force Unleashed and takes place between Episode III and Episode IV, when new Sith on the block Darth Vader is out to wipe the galaxy clean of runaway Jedi. As Vader's apprentice, you're on a secret mission to dive head-first into the forbidden Dark Side of the force, take out the emperor and rule the galaxy as master and apprentice. Awww. Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are being developed in-house at Lucasarts, while PS2, PSP and DS duties have been outsourced to another, unnamed developer. George Lucas reportedly has a lot of input in the project, and even helped design some of the characters. Force Unleashed uses LucasArts' much-touted Eurphoria engine, which calculates environmental damage such as smashing crates in real-time. One given example of the tech is how a tree will either break in two or splinter realistically depending on how you hit it. Likewise, steel will dent appropriately when damaged your fancy Force powers. And speaking of Force powers, many of the world-bending tricks from the E3 tech demo are present in Force Unleashed, including the "cannon ball"-like force push, with controls presented in a similar vein to the excellent Psi-Ops. One scene reportedly has you battling Jedi Knight Shaak Ti in the Jedi Temple, after the galaxy-wide order to exterminate of the Jedi. There's also the suggestion of being able to control your own pack of Rancors, the gigantic beasties that Jabba the Hutt likes to keep under his gaff. But we all know how Star Wars ends so it's going to be a very predictable ****-up for Vadar's Palpatine-trouncing plans, right? LucasArts promises to shake up the Star Wars lore with alternate endings in Unleashed, where the bad guys really can win. We'll bring you more details - and hopefully media - as it arrives. Where's the Wii version though? Perfect for the Wii Remote...

So far I am liking the concept. I'll keep a look out for this game.

When is Lucas going to release a Wii Star Wars game?

I read when the Wii was released that a Star Wars lightsaber dueling game was in the works for the end of 2007. Let's hope so.

I'm a little confused about if your a badguy the entire game, are you any kind of race and any customzation invovled

I watched IGN's video and it looked freaking incredible but one thing that confused me was this. In the video the guy who is fighting is going up against storm troopers. Which makes no sense if he is working for Dark Side they would be his allies and he'd be hunting the Jedi, not storm troopers.

I think you could probably customize your character because as I understand it you're basically a bounty hunter type guy who works to eliminate the Jedi.
