The Kid Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 New info on The Force Unleashed Offical Playstation Magazine UK and Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK have new shots and info on TFU. There's new photos of Juno Eclipse, Rahm Kota and a droid called "PROXY". Pics should be up by tomorrow. OPS2 also reveal information about the characters: The Secret Apprentice "The Force Unleashed reveals one of the greatest secrets in the Star Wars canon: after the events of Episode III, Darth Vader took an apprentice. But because of the Rule of Two that all Sith are meant to obey - that there can be only two Sith practitioners at a time - Vader must keep his dark charge hidden, particularly from the Emperor, whom Vader seeks to overthrow with the aid of his ally. You'll be playing as the Secret Apprentice for the course of TFU. He's talented in Telekinesis and Force Lightning, but LucasArts is keeping schtum about his name. And that, of course, leads us to suspect that he'll have an important connection to a character we already know. Hmm!" Juno Eclipse "At the age of 14, Juno Eclipse was the youngest recruit to be accepted into the Imperial Academy. Originally commander of Darth Vader's personal Black Squadron TIE Fighter Unit, she was then promoted to pilot the Rogue Shadow, the Secret Apprentice's personal transport. When Vader assigns Juno to his apprentice he is fully aware of their mutual attraction, and we'd put money on a passionate romance between foxy Juno and te young Sith being key to the game's plot. Will this be what pushes the Apprentice towards the light side?" General Rahm Kota "One of the few Jedi to survive the destruction of the Jedis under Order 66, Rahm Kota escaped to the Outer Rim territories. He later returned to capture a TIE Fighter construction yard orbiting Nar Shaddaa. Vader dispatches the Secret Apprentice to deal with him, but during their encounter, Rahm tells the Apprentice that he has a much larger role in the galaxy than just being Vader's lackey." Also, the character of Rahm Kota was originally going to be Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn's Force Ghost! PROXY "With C-3PO becoming part of the rebel alliance, Darth Vader lost his long-time droid companion. So he built himself a new one: PROXY. When Vader recruited his Secret Apprentice, he assigned PROXY to the lad - supposedly to aid him, but secretly to watch over him. A holodroid, PROXY is able to disguise himself as his masters see fit, and is a valuable asset to the Secret Apprentice's mission of rooting out and destroying the remnants of the Jedi Order. We don't yet know whether he's as camp as a tent full of Graham Nortons, though [:-P]." Maris Brood "A Zabrak Jedi, Maris Brood was busy training aboard the starship Gray Pilgrim during the events of the Clone Wars and thus was at a safe distance when the Jedi Purge began. But her master was not so fortunate. His death sent Maris towards the Dark Side, until she was redeemed by Jedi Master Shaak Ti. She weilds two tonfa-style lightsabers during her encounters with the Secret Apprentice, but his success during their battles only serves to push Maris back towards the Dark Side." And yes, I did just type all that out. Phew! TK Quote

Don't come bitchin and moaning at me if you go looking. Quote
CF Mitch Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks *vader* *sweet* That was a cool 'behind the scenes'-movie. Very informative. I reallly like how powerfull The Aprentice is gonna be *wub* ;-) Now I can wait even less for this game *sing* Quote
Vader Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Now I can wait even less for this game *sing* Might have a long wait, rumor has it that it's been delayed .......again |-/ The apprentice seems like a real wrecking ball of power *wub* Quote
xwingyoda Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 It has a behind the scenes look at the new game, oh and there might be a few spoilers on the video so you have been warned........ Don't come bitchin and moaning at me if you go looking. Way to go my Master X-D Tks for the video !! Now I understand why the game is forever delayed !! Its a thing of beauty which will be like a real movie fixing the gaps betwen the PT & OT !! + look at all the sweet figs we will have !! new troopers and cool characters !! I really want to see more Lego sets 8- Quote
Vader Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 What's really crazy is that we now have figs from the game, even though the game itself isn't out *wacko* Lego really jumped the gun on those beautiful figs *wub* If this game is gonna be pushed as hard as Lucas is claiming, then i sure hope lego follows it up with even more figs and sets :'-) Oh and here's a pic from the upcoming comic version of the game, i believe it shows the apprentice being knighted? http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/c/...omicpreview.jpg Quote
CF Mitch Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 The apprentice seems like a real wrecking ball of power *wub* Indeed, and I really love that, the way he 'plucks' an entire Star Destroyer from the air, into the ground, and making it stop right in front of him... oh the brilliance of it 8- Quote
Vader Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks again, is it known when this comic will be in stores ? It's gonna be a graphic novel and not a comic, should be over 60 pages from what i have heard and should be out May..... Though that might change due to the game being delayed. Quote
xwingyoda Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 It's gonna be a graphic novel and not a comic, should be over 60 pages from what i have heard and should be out May..... Though that might change due to the game being delayed. Cool pic mate and tks for the info ;-) So the graphic novel will be the entire story of the game ? Actually I have some interrogations on the FU: * since the apprentice is such a force "god", how could he die ? Like a sissy like Grevious ? * If you look at Hasbro's BPs, there is an Emperor + shadow stormies: so does this mean that shadow stormies are his personnal bodyguard ? The emperor still have shadow guards that look way meanr than the red ones * I am afraid of that droid (pictured in the pic *vader* posted): in the interview it is said that he is a "comic relief" so I am afraid he is a ar Jar Jar nuisance droid FU is not yet On :-P *yoda* Quote
mutley777 Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 I was quite surprised to find out that this is coming out on the wii. *y* Quote
xwingyoda Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 I was quite surprised to find out that this is coming out on the wii. *y* Is that confirmed ? Last time I went to my shop, they couldn't answer me !! Thats an excellent surprise, tks !! Its just a game I will need to buy from the UK to ensure the english version ;-) *yoda* Quote
mutley777 Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Is that confirmed ?Last time I went to my shop, they couldn't answer me !! *yoda* Well if it is not i would like to know why there is a 6 page spread in my official nintendo mag :-D . Quote
xwingyoda Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Well if it is not i would like to know why there is a 6 page spread in my official nintendo mag :-D . Touch Quote
CF Mitch Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Well, I would more like a LSW of the Clone Wars *wub* But anyhoo... Thanks for the info Vader *y* Quote
zero1312 Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 I was quite surprised to find out that this is coming out on the wii. *y* Yahoooo!!!! The news of the day!!! *sweet* Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 Hmm, I was looking through the news on Rebelscum.com and they said that with each figure(3 3/4 in.) of their TFU line a cheat code would be included on the packaging! Three have been revealed, but one in particular struck me as interesting: The cheat was Mandalore, and it allowed you to play as General Rahm Kota. Now we all know he's a hard-boiled Jedi general, right? But he looks almost like a roughened Mandalorian! Could it be... :'-) Quote
xwingyoda Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 Well what I don't get is that Kota is some kind of mentor to *vader* 's apprentice *wacko* Need more info on whats going on in FU :-D *yoda* Quote

Included is an 'Evolutions' set which includes the Apprentice as a Sith Lord, the Apprentice as you see him in the Rogue Shadow(beaten up with attachable force lightning), and the Apprentice as a Jedi Knight. So maybe this is a directional game like KotOR! You know, choose your own path, etc. etc. *goes off and watches the trailer* Quote
Scouty Posted February 24, 2008 Author Posted February 24, 2008 The New Trailer!! Click Here! P Welllll.....that's a whole lot different than what we've been seing before 8-| . Quote
