"We pitched a number of different story ideas and concepts to him," said
Blackman. "With him, we picked and chose the strongest elements. As we
worked on 'The Force Unleashed,' he encouraged us to create new characters
as well use existing characters. He told us, 'If you're going to use Vader, that's
fine, but here's how you can use him.'"
In the first level, players will plow through the Wookie homeworld of Kashyyyk as
Darth Vader. Subsequent levels find players serving as Vader's apprentice and
traveling to such locales as a TIE Fighter construction facility, the Jedi Temple
on Coruscant, the overgrown planet of Felucia and back to an Empire ravaged
Kashyyyk.
"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."
Lucas will premiere the new computer-animated film "Star Wars: The Clone
Wars," which takes place between "Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the
Clones" and "Episode III," on Aug. 10. The film will be pegged to a new weekly
animated TV series as well as new "Clone Wars" video games for both the
Nintendo DS and the Wii.
