Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Unleashing the Tech: The Power Behind The Force explores three of the systems that power The Force Unleashed.
Updated our Star Wars book schedule again… Random House is now listing both The Force Unleashed novelization and Making of for a June 24 release. (For the record: LucasArts.com has actual TFU game as coming ‘Summer 2007,’ which seems to mean August.)
We also get an exact date for The Essential Atlas: it’s also been pushed back, from the initial June to September 23. (June was getting rather crowded.)
Per usual, all dates are subject to change.
Prepping for the new year, I’ve gone through and updated our Star Wars book schedule with several upcoming release dates. Please note that all these dates are from Random House, and no doubt subject to change. (Write them in pencil.)
Our releases page is always linked on the sidebar, if you ever find yourself in need.
As for you comic fans, even I don’t have the patience to track those crazy ever-changing release dates for more than a few days in advance, but I can throw you a bone – the preview for Dark Times #8, which may or may not come out at the end of the month.
Busy day at the official site… First up, an interview with Drew Karpyshyn to celebrate next week’s release of Rule of Two
Then, check out the Japanese cover for Jude Watson’s The Shadow Trap. (Nice, but are they ever going to get to LOTF? The fans are clamoring for EU art!)
And finally, check out some Force Unleashed action figures.
Droidnapped!
In other news…
Hot on the heels of the Invincible reveal, we get another first look, this time at The Force Unleashed novel.
A new video is up over at the LucasArts site, ‘A Force Wrecking Ball’, that discusses the game’s characters. There’s also an interesting look at how LucasArts and ILM are digitally capturing the actors, which has a corresponding story on StarWars.com.
Also, will the TFU acronym ever stop being funny? Please tell me it will.
The Force Unleashed will be available on the Wii with an ‘Exclusive Duel Mode,‘ surprising absolutely no one.
