So the Apprentice's name is...Starkiller? Really. They couldn't come up with anything better (or at least original) than that? And I am hearing correctly that the chances of an online multiplayer mode coming out are nil to none? Wow, and here I was actually hoping for Lucasarts to actually do something right since the last Ice Age. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten rid of my Jedi Knight PC games...

As far as I know, Starkiller isn't the official name, right?

As for multiplayer, Wii is gonna have it off the bat, it's coming out later for 360 as a bit of downloadable content.

Don't know what the plan is for the PS3

I really hope the characters name isn't starkiller- cause that would be hella lame.


It should really be something more original, and not something that Anakin/ Luke was originally named.

(Un) Officially; the word is that in-game, Vader refers to him's secret apprentice as 'Starkiller'. So its Vader's code-name for his apprentice.

I hate being the constant downer for the thread, but I reiterate that there is no substantiated proof that this DLC multiplayer is coming out so I don't think it's fair to tell people with apparent certainty that it is

happy

I hope they have Grievous as a online character in the 360 version.

Well if TFU was released on PC, all the skins and mods would make 'Starkiller' unlimited. Personally, I prefer character customization- it makes it more original and personal. I think it said on TFN that Vos would be in the multiplayer, but in that shot I did not see him at all.

I don't think there's going to be an online version for the 360.

Anybody else notice that EVERY TFU action figure has a cheat code hidden inside?
I'm not talking about the one's we already know of, that are on the back of the packages...

If not, I'll go buy a few tonite and see what's inside.

There's only 4 in the figures. Rebelscum had them all. I believe they were:

Holocron
Wookiee
Mandalorian
Lightsaber

Any clue on what they do? I hope one of them pays tribute to the n64 days and enables big head mode. Darth Vader in big head mode would be priceless, especially because this game will mostly highlight his bad***ery.

Those four were exactly what I was talking about, they were found on the BACK of the packages. When I looked this weekend, I saw new packaging that said codes were inside. I wonder if they are new and improved or just a new spin on the old.

IIRC,
Kento's robes for Wookiee, upgraded lightsaber for same, Mandalorian gets you to play through the game as Kota, last but not least Holocron gets you the SA's spiffy Sith Apprentice robes.
