And I'm still cranky about the character list for the duel mode!

I know. Whats with ELEVEN versions of the SA anyways? Talk about overkill.
I can think of quite a few Jedi and Sith that I'd rather see in duel mode:

Vos!
PLAGUEIS!!
Revan
Plo Koon
Kyle Katarn
Cade
Krayt
Nihl
Sidious

AMEN!!!!!

That's an interesting point about the Duel Mode characters... at the very least you'd think they'd include Darth Revan considering how much of an Xbox fanboy icon he's become.

Pitty LFL doesn't have a wider marketing policy too. They've accepted with Vector its a good idea to try and cross things over to get people interested in other things. Including people like Vos, Cade, Krayt, even the Solo kids or a Vong, etc, would be a nice way of getting people thinking "Who are they?" and going out and buying the books or comics etc.

I remember all the cameos in Masters of Teras Kasi. Man, that game had some seriously remote EU characters. I think it was one of the first things that got me asking "Huh?" and which got me into the EU as I realised there was a much bigger world of Star Wars out there. I mean, Arden Lyn (fair enough it was her first appearance), Jodo Kast, heck, even a Gamorrean and a Tusken Raider (Darth Krayt? wink ) it was just "Huh?!" (in a good way).

Heh, I've been rewatching season 2 of Battlestar Galactica, and I'm finding Crashdown a much cooler character this time around.

Desolous; an x-Jedi, was supposed to have taken up residence in the Jedi Temple.

Ahh...so he's not necessarily a real Sith Lord...rule of two and all...I like...
I submit that Desolous can be a real, legitimate Sith Lord as long as Phobos and he are not part of Bane's order.

My money is on Palpatine being an unlockable character.

That would be almost as cool as making out with a super hot Czech model that speaks very little English. grin

Lol, I don't get this. It says on Gamepro that No. 18 is "Ultimate Evil". Why the blazes does he wear a Mando-esque helmet there?

Because he's doing a seminar on Eeevil on Mandalore next week. Didn't you get the memo?

LOL...

The Ultimate Evil edition can only be unlocked after you do three things.
1. You crush your Master
2. You crush HIS Master
3. You Force-Yank the Death Star onto Yavin's forrest Moon,
killing all the stupid Ewoks, and Ikrit too...



Anyone willing to kill the Star Wars easter bunny is ultimately, very evil. wink

Twenty-seven is an odd number--NO MATH PUNS INTENDED!--so maybe we are looking at a few unlockables. Please, LucasArts, do what must be done: Sidious.

Well, except it´s on the Wii. Frankly, I´m surprised Mario´s not making an appearance. (Thought maybe if he looked like my Antares Mario...)

Good point about Masters of Teras Käsi, though. Jodo Kast, Mara Jade...the reason there are 11 playable SA´s is because they´re ready-made skins, that is, they´re already in the game so the designers just included them, but it´d be nice to see some other EU characters in here. I mean they´ve got the whole NJO to draw from (Really? Not even the Solo kids?) not to mention the Clone Wars fiction...and I mean they´re releasing all the cool Legacy era figures and minifigures...

He's the Secret Apprentice as a Sith Lord, so of course he's the Ultimate Evil.

This is an imaginary story... aren't they all supposed to fit together, though?
An animated cartoon about Obi-Wan and Padawan Anakin would have made more sense.

So...September 16th. Couldn't we just get Shadows of Mindor now instead of Force Unleashed later? I'd be happy.

Earlier reports did mention 30 or more characters. I think Sidious definitely seems unlockable. I remember an old article mentioned OLD Ben Kenobi so maybe he's unlockable. Possibly also the apprentice's father costume since I didn't see that listed. Maybe if we're lucky Yoda, but given the need for a new skeleton and animations, I doubt it.
