Game, novel and comic are all telling the same story.

I think they will naturally tell the story slightly differently (like, I believe I read that half the comic is dictated from the point of view of PROXY or something) but essentially they're the same story.

I dunno if this is new or not, but you can now download the trailer for The Force Unleashed and the first webdoc from Xbox Live Marketplace.

I only noticed it the other day. I was a little disappointed there wasn't a demo, yet....

Proxy's POV covers two-thirds of the Graphic Novel and the last 1/3 of the comic is from Juno's perspective. And the xbox life stuff may just be a ploy to validate HB's Celebration Europe quote: "We will have a multi-player component to the game. The game is all about kicking butt with the Force, and from Day 1 we knew that one of the most satisfying things to do is kick your friend's butt with the Force so we wanted to make sure we delivered on that experience in multi-player. There will be an online component as well and it will support all the requirements of a system like Xbox LIVE."

I have hammered the VIP's over at LucasArts for wasting our(my) time.
What's the point of a 'Que and Aye' if you never really answer any questions.
The two biggest nuggets we've been given over there is: "Juno is definitely NOT a Jedi." and when asked 'Will we see the jump to hyperspace from inside, or outside the ship?', the stupid answer was this: "Sorry, but you don't get to pilot the Rogue Shadow."."

I didn't ask if we could pilot the Rogue Shadow. I asked how we see the jump. Since we didn't fly the Ebon Hawk during the last two epic SW games, and we have a PILOT assigned to us in this one, I thought it was clear that Juno was flying the ship...

The VIP's are worthless over there.

So its too top secret to let us know how the cutscenes show the ship jumping... but its okay to leak that Palpatine finds out about us after level two... uh huh... rolling_eyes

You hit the nail with a 50-LB SledgeHammer.

[[And FYI, it was erroneously reported that Sidious confronts Vader about the SA early in the game... at least that is what some are saying. The scene where Vader stabs the SA for being stupid and getting followed, (which may end up being Proxy anyways) was said to take place after Raxis Prime. But another person that previewed the same action said he thought it was later-on, after that. Maybe the first reporter didn't realize that they had jumped-ahead during the demo.]]

So, they may have leaked a plot twist from even later in the game... genius! doh!

We seriously need an emoticon of a smiley bashing its head against a wall. tongue

Yes! Somebody get me one of those!!

I should post some of the questions, and the even dumber list of answers from the bogus 'Que and Aye Thread' at LucasArtsForums. But at the end of the day, what good would that do?I do not feel this to be productive. 'Juno is definitely, not a Jedi'... seriously? I had no idea.

Backwater world?
Tatooine has been mentioned or featured as an adventure spot, over 300 times.

So, yeah I agree with TRIP.
Once they went back to Tatooine in ROTJ, the nostalgia was gone.
Plus, after three more trips tongue in the three PT flicks,
it's arguably become (Next to Kashyyyk) the most popular place in the GFFA...

Obviously ANH just gave the wrong impression. Obi-Wan was really hiding right out in the open! Just like Leia being hidden in the open on Alderaan and serving as a Senator, Luke was hidden on the well known and regularly visisted tourist destination of Tatooine. Obi-Wan's hovel was not a hovel at all! It was actually a sea side villa on the edge of the Dune Sea. I bet that shack set him back all of his Jedi savings. I mean, come on, who wouldn't want to live by the Dune Sea? Even Jabba the Hutt had a palace there. Who wouldn't want to have a megarich crime lord for a neighbour? peace

How could we have been so wrong about Tatooine all these years?!? doh!

Exactly!

As popular as Tatooine was, who can blame Qui-Gon for thinking that Republic Credits would do fine out there. laugh
I wonder what could possibly draw the SA to Tatooine, and NOT tread heavily upon the OT.

Meh...return of the Jedi had two characters going back to a place they'd been before - Han was being bothered by Jabba on Tatooine, and Luke was from there, so...I mean, not that weird.

Yeah, but it had the head of a massive criminal Empire have his headquarters there...so if there's a bright center to the criminal universe you were in fact on the planet that is nearest to.
