It’s an exiting time to be a Star Wars fan … and own a console.
First, There’s a new animation series that takes place between Ep 2 and 3, “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”. The best line in the little movie intro on starwars.com? “She a girl. … and she’s a Jedi. And we frankly haven’t quite seen enough of that… have we?” Damn right. Let me show you MY lightsaber.
Oh, and the Force Unleashed is the console part. Gamespot.com has a 3 part webdoc series on the game . The best line in that one? From Webdoc #1: “You know what’s the premise for the game? Kicking someone’s ass with the Force.” Lucas made the game production team repeat it. Every Star Wars geek in existence wants to do that and you know what? I’ll probably let my 7 year old play it – he would totally get a kick out of it, assuming the language is acceptable.
And, while my 360 is in repair limbo, I’m slowly building an interest in Guitar Hero. I watched Rock Band and then my nephew jam on GH3 on the PS2. And wow. It’s hard and it’s interesting all at the same time. Plus, there’s a geek factor in trying to beat all these 14 year old whiners, ya know. So, I’ll be petitioning for GH3 to get the wireless guitar then I’ll just get the GH2 game, plus RS:V2 and SW:TFU. That will keep me busy for the summer :).
