Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Might Be Adapted for Television or Movies


Last month during E3, we brought you the new trailer for LucasArts forthcoming game, The Force Unleashed II. The cinematic trailer featuring a CG Sam Witwer (Smallville) as Darth Vader’s apprentice, Galen Marek – Code Name: Starkiller. The trailer was pretty breathtaking and made many people wonder why we couldn’t have a live action television series or movie based on Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Now, CVG is reporting that executive producer Haden Blackman hopes to see them adapted for television or the big-screen.

Blackman said,

“I hope so, we’re already seeing it reach out into publishing with comic books and novels that are taking into account stories we’ve created and characters we’ve created. Hopefully some day we see these characters on big or little screen.

“We’re dealing in a period of time that has largely been unexplored by anything. Force Unleashed was the first major story we set in that time period. I think we surprised a lot of fans with that story because we showed the formation of the Rebel Alliance and introduce the concept of the dark secret apprentice”.

It’s “pretty exciting” to be contributing to the rich Star Wars universe in such as way: “[Lucasfilm has] been really great about letting us do what we need to do to make the best game possible and tell the best story.”
