Nice vids

everything looks great, im just concerned that this guy is waaaaaaaay overpowered = easy game to beat.

Hope it doesnt turn into one of those 8 hour games you can beat over the weekend.

New pics

Well, in some of the previews, they've mentioned that they've always shown the apprentice fully leveled up and they've been using the easy difficulty mode. In a lot of the videos they even have God mode turned on. Plus, there are going to be 4 difficulty levels. I'm sure it won't be that easy. We'll see.

As for the name. It's already been confirmed that Starkiller is just his code name. From what I understand, that's what Vader and everyone else will call him at first. We will later find out his real name. The one that his parents gave to him. It won't be someone we know, because it's been confirmed (I think in a preview from PlayStation Magazine) that his parents are entirely new character and so is the apprentice.

The official word from a MOD at Lucas Arts is that Vader uses the codename in game for the SA. Like, Juno for instance... she's assigned to be 'Starkiller's ' pilot. As for his parents, we know his dad was Master Kento... whether that's more like Master Kenobi or more like Master Qui Gon, that we don't know.

Here's a small clip where you can see part of the cutscene that takes place after the apprentice returns to Vader from the Tie Fighter construction facility and you can also see a bit from the apprentice VS Kota cutscene, where the platform starts falling towards the planet.

It's not much, but still...Video

What do you think of Vader's voice so far?

Chad Vader rocks...
If we couldn't have J.E.J., then IMO, we got the next best thing.

I think someone could've gone the extra mile and actually hire James Earl Jones for the voice over work. How awesome that would've been...

James Earl Jones would've been great but it probably was too hard to get him to do a videogame. Also, JEJ wasn't used in ROTS, so it's kinda like a transformation of voices to show aging.

That clip also showed the duel mode, Dooku vs Maul if I'm correct. This game looks more and more amazing with each clip thats released.

I'm convinced that was JEJ in the movie. That was vintage James Earl Jones.

However, the original teaser trailer released several months before III was not JEJ. They didn't use that cut in the movie.

I remember an interview with JEJ before ROTS coming out asking if he'd be in it with which he replied 'Only in the last five minutes' or something similar to.

James Earl Jones was Darth Vader's voice in ROTS.
The trailer used Hayden's voice.
