Your The Force Unleashed roundup: Catching up with commercials, parties, and concept art

With just a little over a week to go before the September 15th release, you’re going to start seeing commercials… If you haven’t already. The clip above features Vader; Perhaps you might also be interested in a floating Wookiee?

In San Francisco on September 15th? LucasArts is throwing a TFU launch party at the Harrison St. Best Buy. Several of the game’s cast and crew (and probably plenty of 501st) will be attending.
Concept art: Rodian Scavenger, Tractor Beam and Jedi in Space.
The HD Room sums up some of the early reviews. Well, at least it seems to be doing better with critics than The Clone Wars.

The Force Unleashed: Concept art of the damned

io9 got themselves a copy of The Art And Making Of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and share the delightful story of the Corpse Droid. Too dark for a Star Wars game, but I would totally be down with a Flash game or something. Come on, StarWars.com! You guys love Flash!

Okay, I kid. Still: Corpsey the droid. Totally inappropriate but so, so awesome in an Evil Dead sort of way.

(How about webisodes? Is Bruce Campbell busy? He can play Starkiller’s uncle! No? I’ll shut up now. Go enjoy the art.)

Concept art: Ralph McQuarrie’s Battlestar Galactica

Galactica.tv showcases concept paintings done by Ralph McQuarrie for the original pilot script of Battlestar Galactica. Apparently the cylons were originally going to be the creation of an insect race? (via)

Concept art: Anakin and Padme

” I wanted to show that this poor guy is trapped by shadows, and she’s stuck in the light. And the hand that reaches out to touch her isn’t even a human hand anymore” – Iain McCaig

Eye candy: Everyone loves concept art!

You guys clearly love concept art as much as I do – this was one of the weekend’s most read posts and most clicked links. That may be damning with faint praise – posting and hits are both pretty sparse over weekends – but clearly plenty of readers made an impression on io9 because yesterday they had a huge multiple-gallery concept art post featuring some of the hottest visual designers Hollywood has to offer, including Ryan Church, whose work you’re probably already familiar with. I can’t think of a better way to waste your morning on the computer.

Saturday morning eye candy: Indy IV concept art

I love concept art, and so do you, I hope! io9 has some Crystal Skull pieces from The Complete Making Of Indiana Jones, and I swear they’re all a lot more exciting (and spoilery) than the one above.
