That shot looks sweet.
I wonder if you'll play a level or two as him younger, or if it will strictly be within a closed time period.

I think the scene showing the jump from child to adult answers that question. Anyone else like the shot of what looked like the Executor in production?

September 16th can't come soon enough....
Though some of the walking animation looked kinda stiff with Vader at the start....maybe it's just me..

No I noticed that too. It was very odd, didn't flow properly at all. Didn't even look 'stiff' like wearing a big heavy suit would be with heavy black boots. It just looked... wrong

Yes. Very choppy, even for Vader.
And while I really like the texture of his cape up close, the way it flows when he's in motion, makes his stilted-gait look even more weird.
Overall, that Kashyyyk sequence was outstanding.

Wow, this is going to sound really bad but I haven't really been keeping up with all the TFU updates. I read on the last page and on TFN that Lucasarts denied the multiplayer duel mode. I'm so glad to hear that once more, Lucasarts was just lying to us.
Not that TFU was in question, I was always going to buy it, but that just seals the deal for me.

They weren't lying. There's nothing other than rumor and unsupported innuendo to say that we have or will get multiplayer for the PS3 and 360. It's only confirmed to be on Wii and PSP and the duel mode is only on Wii.
I sincerely doubt that those patch multiplayer downloads had any truth behind them whatsoever. It's nothing more than a wish list from desperate fans.
That said, the new webdoc absolutely owns. Awesome in every way. I love the young Starkiller scene as Vader stares him down. "Come with me." Powerful.

The leaks regarding NexGen DLC aren't coming from LucasArts.
The leaks have come from 3rd party Sneak Previews, Microsoft, Krome, and I believe Engadget. The motion sensor control for Xbox is long past rumor stage itself, and has taken on a new life. And that new life is rumored to be tied to DLC versus mode for 360. So really, its still a rumor. But the reason behind the rumor, according to a leaked list for an upcoming dashboard update, both a "motion sensor device" and "HDD installation will be supported." The first item listed, "Calibration options for motion sensor devices" certainly makes it seem like a waggle stick is on its way to the 360. The other, "store installation data on Storage Device for faster loading". One source says that the new unit has been under development since last August, and that a new unified interface is being developed by Rare, which has missed a few deadlines. The idea is to match and exceed the capabilities of the Wiimote, so the controller reportedly features four face buttons, an analog stick, a microphone, and possibly integration with the Xbox Live Vision Camera. The latest is that it won't be out until early next year.
And lets not forget, Hayden blackman himself long ago confirmed that there would be multiplayer and XBox live on the 360.
The Update list:
Dashboard/Miscellaneous
1. Option to navigate quickly out of several menus back to respective blade home (applies to Games, Media, System).
2. New blade trim styles added.
3. Introduce expanded Inside Xbox as a portal to news, weather, entertainment, help and community features.
4. New sounds for various functions (notifications, blades, navigation).
5. Calibration options for display/sound.
6. Calibration options for motion sensor devices.
7. New effects for Xbox LIVE Vision and dashboard background.
8. Disable changing of Theme when on Memory to prevent 'hanging'.
9. Preload recent, limited items upon dashboard bootup on Memory.
10. Faster loading of Themes section on guide.
11. Option to see what items will not work offline due to DRM license changing from Memory.
12. Option to automatically associate new DRM to items downloaded for free.
13. Indicate 'charging' status on guide when Play & Charge kit is connected.
14. Option to change text colors on guide to better contrast some backgrounds.
16. Language improvements.
18. Word censor updated for fields.
19. Privacy Settings/Family Settings updated for new features.
20. Voice, picture messages can be read at Xbox.com (Gold accounts).
***
So it proves nothing, but it lends weight to one of the rumors for the reasons why its being made.

I was never at odds with the idea of the 360 ripping off Nintendo's motion sensing controller because Microsoft is that unoriginal. Frankly, rumors about that mean nothing to me as it regards to this game. Perhaps they wanted multiplayer for the 360 and then Hayden changed his mind. It happens. Other than unsubstantiated rumors, there's nothing to even suggest that it's going to happen. Moreover, why wouldn't they incorporate it into the game when they still had the chance? I just don't buy it. Maybe I'll be proven wrong (frankly, I hope I'm not if the list of characters is nothing but outlandish EU characters).
That said, here's some screen caps from the webdoc.

Darth Vader is striking quite an interesting pose there... almost sultry like.
Anyone else think the lightsabers look a little funny too?

The glow is too fat coming out of the emitter.
More grabs to add to the mix.

Since I posted these elsewhere, I figured I might as well drag and drop em in here.
