Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2.

Yeah, it got announced at the VGA's today

So.... how'bout that?

Nice story that, just like everything else that isn't the new trilogy, is better than the new trilogy with ho-hum action that is good but could/should be better?

When are they going to learn that the Best character in the Star Wars double Trilogy is Obi Wan and make games about his time between episode 3 and 4?

Seriously. Fuck luke, Vader, Yoda, Starkiller and Fet. Kenobi FTW.

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of him becoming a hermit and watch over Luke so that the Emperor couldn't track him?

Because the best character in the sextet is Qui-Gon Jinn.

Naturally, the only way a prequel character could pull this off is by virtue of Liam Neeson, but that's how it worked out and there you have it.

Well... yeah. But Qui Go just had one movie, while Obi Wan got 5 where he is more effective and useful than everybody else.

Although... yeah, if they made a game about Qui Go and Obi Wan and stuff prior to Episode 1 that would probably be awesome.

In the Star Wars universe you can track who you need to track when you need to find them. The emperor wants to find a Jedi secluded in a far away desert planet in another galaxy? A week worth of work.

The emperor wants to find the former master of his most powerful apprentice? 10 years aren't enough.

I think there's a book series on how Obi-wan got to be a Jedi, and about his adventures with Qui-gon. I read, like, two of them, but they weren't bad (For 150-word Scholastic paperbacks). They really should capitalise on that. It's good having a game about the jedi equivalent of Goku, who defeats Vader and blows up Star Destroyers with the force alone, but what happened to the idea of Jedi being not supersoldiers and heroes, but more diplomats, or at least tacticians, who actually have to think about how to achieve their aims, to use stealth and deception instead of hacking towards their goal, wielding their lightsaber like a shiny battleaxe with no subtlety or restraint other than the occasional moment to savor an enemy's death.

The concept of a Jedi being a facilitator, who uses combat as a last resort (because, no matter how powerfull he is, there's only one of him) is one that KOTOR explored, in a way, and continuing along that path would work really well with either Qui-gon or Obi-wan.

all I remember from the first game was hitting a loading screen when I went into the pause menu, no thanks

Looking forward to this. Improved controls and reason to use your lightsabre sounds pretty sexy.

It was truly tragic he was the person who had to utter the fateful words "Midichlorians."

I'm not sure if you read the books or not but Obi didn't just sit around with his thumb up his bum on tatooine. He's pretty much the entire reason there was a Darth Krayt and the One Sith.

Probably the main thing they need to work is to not make the PC port a rotting pile of crap. My breaking point came in the second-to-last "boss" ( the ISD "battle"), where the mouse's y-axis substitutes for the right analog stick on console controllers. Because you can only move the mouse along one axis for so long before you have to reset your position to move it more, you'd lose some of the alignment you did with that axis. Near the end of the fight the boss would lose as much or nearly as much alignment as I applied, no matter how fast I tried to push and reset the mouse position. This is just one of many problems the PC port had.

Also the writing/acting needs work, at least as far as it relates to movie characters. I don't recall any sort of precedent for the way Vader acts in the cutscenes. I felt he had a little too much emotion compared to the original trilogy - especially the scene where he "kills" Starkiller.
