In two short weeks gamers will be able to experience the power of
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed -- the next chapter of the
Star Wars saga and LucasArts' first next-generation
Star Wars game. Counting down to its release, StarWars.com will showcase some of the amazing art developed as the game's biggest, most challenging concepts took shape. This art can be found in
The Art and Making of The Force Unleashed, a lavishly illustrated behind-the-scenes book from Insight Editions, written by game producers Haden Blackman and Brett Rector. The book is truly an insider's guide to the development of a cutting edge video game and a major chapter in the
Star Wars story.
"Over time, Kashyyyk became one of the most important
locations in the game. It has the distinct honor and challenge
of being the opening location -- a world that has to captivate
players from the first second. In this prologue level, the
player is placed in the role of Darth Vader, whose dark and
violent character is a sharp contrast to the colorful world.
Overall, Kashyyyk was an excellent starting point to show
off what could be achieved graphically with our internally
developed game engine."
