Robot Chicken Star Wars Episode III

You can now watch Robot Chicken Star Wars Episode III. Max Rebo, the Wampa, and...Prune Face get to star in their own segments. (The show continues a few times after the end credits start.)

Also, here's a Robot Chicken ad for The Force Unleashed:

Star Wars Force Unleashed 2 Endor playthrough

You can watch a full playthrough of the Endor level of Star Wars Force Unleashed 2 at Youtube. At about 3:30 in to the portion you see above, the Sith Apprentice starts dropkicking, and eventually electrifying Ewoks. Leia's the end boss and the extended battle is pretty cool. (Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.)

Force Unleashed 2 playthrough

Star Wars Force Unleashed 2 has received fairly negative reviews, but it looks pretty good to me. You can watch the entire playthrough at Youtube. In the video I posted above, which takes place midway through the game, Starkiller directs a Rebellion cruiser past a Star Destroyer, into Kamino's atmosphere, and onto a collision course with the cloning facility. He then hurls himself out of the ship, freefalls onto the facility, and takes on an army worth of troopers and walkers. What's not to like?

Link roundup

1. Video of a personal airbag hidden in a collar.

2. "By late 2003, even the Bush White House’s staunchest defenders were starting to give up on the idea that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. But for years afterward, WikiLeaks’ newly-released Iraq war documents reveal, U.S. troops continued to find chemical weapons labs, encounter insurgent specialists in toxins, and uncover weapons of mass destruction." (In light of how similar Obama's policies have been to Bush's, I suspect that history will be kind to Bush.)

3. Here's video of Guybrush Threepwood in Force Unleashed II and specific (very easy) directions for unlocking him.

New trailers, promotional art for The Force Unleashed and The Old Republic

First, new, short cinemas for The Force Unleashed 2.

Starkiller slaughters lots of Stormtroopers

Starkiller throws Vader through a lot of walls. (Who cares about the old movies in 3D? I want to see more of these.)

Second, new promotional images by Marek Okon for The Old Republic:

The last image is his cover for Star Wars: The Old Republic: Deceived, available for preorder at Amazon.

The Force Unleashed and Old Republic cinematic trailers are by Blur. Here's a great image from their site:

New Force Unleashed 2 trailer

Lots of gameplay and hints at the story in the new trailer for the Force Unleashed 2. Highlights include a freefall battle against Tie Fighters, and a new vaguely Grievous-like villain.

Speaking of Force Unleashed, there's some nice high-res images of the main characters from the first game at Manny Llamas's site. Via.

Link roundup

1. If you have a good revenge story, then you can win original art from Dan Hipp.

2. Guillermo del Toro likes books:

He said he went into debt so that he could have an entire house that serves only as a place for his books, with seven libraries in seven rooms. ("I"m a very, very organized hoarder.") He's currently building an eighth room, the "Rain Room," where it will rain 24 hours a day — rain and lighting will always be lashing against this room's windows, so that he can always write in a thunderstorm.

3. The Force Unleashed 2 demo will be available for the PS3 and XBox on 10/12. Speaking of, I didn't realize that Starkiller is played by (and looks exactly like) Sam Witwer. He talks about how he came to be cast here.

Guybrush Threepwood to be an unlockable character in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

Guybrush Threepwood will be an unlockable character in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II. Via.

And speaking of video games, the Nintendo 3DS will apparently be $300. Why would anyone pay $300 plus at least $30 a game for the privilege of playing remastered versions of Legend of Zelda instead of buying an iPod/iPhone?
