"What do Mace Windu, Darth Vader, Mara Jade, Luke Skyalker, Count Dooku, and Darth Maul all have in common?
They're all playable characters in the Versus Mode of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
There are characters from the films, novels, and even the Clone Wars animated series. The presence of Alora and Asajj Ventress, famed for their elaborate dual-wielding attacks, suggests that gamers will have the option of controlling the action with a Wii Remote in each hand."

Following Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's conquest, it's the prime time to resurrect the Force-fueled action of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
Coming soon on the UE4 Engine, preorder to guarantee access to the Force Stutter ability available exclusively on PC before it gets removed after the launch window.
I am not a Star Wars fan but I enjoyed the Force Unleashed and the sequel. Shadows of the Empire was another Star Wars game I also enjoyed.
I had Shadows of the Empire on N64 and I used to finish that game basically weekly. LOVED that game.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed took the Star Wars setting from a Space Opera to a Shonen anime, and did lasting damage to the franchise as a whole.
Then came Jedi: Fallen Order to revive it.
Jedi Survivor is truly amazing to experience, nothing better out there when it comes to Star Wars games.
That's a bit of a stretch. I loved the game, it was an amazing action filled pack and you could do so much weird shit (admittedly the sequel wasn't as great). However, under no point did I ever have any trouble separating it from Star Wars canon. The game has exagerated force powers because it's fun, everyone knows it's not lore-accurate. It's the same as the final boss of The Matrix game. The game almost ends as the movie, but then we get a message from the Wachowski sisters, explaingin how a the martyr ending works great for a movie... but a game should feel more epic, so instead you get to face a final mega Smith formed from all his clones. My point being, people can separate the epic exagerations of a game from the more grounded rules of canon/lore.
Edit: Just to add, that I aknowledge The Rise of Skywalker was a shitshow, but there were millions of other reasons for that, TFU is hardly to blame there...
Starkiller - the original Mary Sue (after Luke Skywalker bent a molten blaster bolt around a corner, and through a tiny hole in The Death Star, while flying an X-wing in space. And all despite having next to no training in how to use The Force.)
It did help ruin the franchise, but it was already ruined by silly novels and badly-thought-out comic book adaptations. The EU did enough damage to the universe that the trajectory was bound to hit “JEDI SUPERHERO WHO CAN WRESTLE STAR DESTROYERS OUT OF THE SKY” territory.
It’s part of why The Force Unleashed and The Last Jedi had such a negative backlash. The Force Unleashed copied and pasted the structure of A New Hope, which was enough for some people to buy, but I heard countless musings from people, whining that the characters were not as jumpy or powerful as Starkiller - with Starkiller being the one character mentioned for reference. The Last Jedi, for some people, is their favourite Star Wars film, for others, it wasn’t. What I didn’t like about TLJ’s backlash is how much people were moaning about it being different to the rest of the franchise, when it is about as derivative as The Force Awakens was.

Not to mention having next to no experience in piloting a fighter
Discover the reasons why Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is such a fantastic game. From its gripping storyline to its smooth gameplay and impressive graphics, this game has it all.
Let me be the first to say that this game is going to be a huge success. I've been waiting for some Star Wars fighting for a long, long time, going all the way back to "Masters of Teras Kasi." Officially cannot wait for the Force Unleashed now....
I don't even like Star Wars, but I'll be picking this up on the bigger systems. Wii's lucky for getting Asajj Ventress though.
my favourite character of the new star wars movies. i used the crimson double lighsaber in jedi academy and a model replacement for maul. will love to slice some dudes up on live in this game!
im also interested in what is the favoured version of this game. the psp ds and wii versions all have there own content. hoepfully one will rise to the top of the pack!
Am I wrong or did I hear that the Wii version is the only one that will have this vs. mode? If that is the case, it will be the first time you will hear me utter the words "i wish i had a wii"
You are correct, the Versus mode is only available on the Wii.
I'm left with the dilemna, do I get the 360 version or the Wii version...hmmmm....
