LucasArts, Sony Computer Entertainment America and Best Buy Invite San Francisco to Celebrate the Launch of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

By Jay Cochran on 2008-09-05 in Action Figures
LucasArts, Sony Computer Entertainment America and Best Buy will commemorate the release of the upcoming videogame Star Wars: The Force Unleashed with an exclusive launch party, offering eager gamers a chance to celebrate the Saga and get their hands on the first copies of the game. The party, which will be held at the Best Buy store at 1717 Harrison St. in San Francisco on Monday, Sept. 15, will run from 7pm until midnight and will feature appearances by several very special guests, including:


- Sam Witwer, who plays Darth Vader’s Secret Apprentice in the game and who also joined the cast of The CW’s “Smallville” this season; Adrienne Wilkinson, who plays Maris Brood, a dark and mysterious Jed; and Cully Fredrickson, who plays Jedi Master Rahm Kota, a militant General who is the target of one of the Secret Apprentice’s early missions

- Executive Producer Haden Blackman, Art Director Matt Omernick, Lead Engineer Cedrick Collomb, Lead Content Designer John Stafford, Lead Systems Designer Rich Davis, and dozens of other members of The Force Unleashed development team at LucasArts

In addition, attendees will get a chance to play the full version of the game in advance and be able to get their photo taken with some of their favorite Star Wars characters.

An entirely new chapter in the Star Wars Saga, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed casts players as Darth Vader’s “Secret Apprentice” and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The game’s expansive story is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist Vader in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi — and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.

I gotta share this story. Preview night we're standing in line being told the line is closed and some ahole scalper comes up to us and offers to sell us a Nemesis Prime for $55 (it only cost $27). I started laughing and told the guy the booth was right there I can get it for $27 he started to feed me the bs of it being a raffle.

I told him you gotta wait till after the con to scalp it, you can't scalp it to people already at the con on preview night!

I just laughed it off my wife was pissed though.

Just thought I'd share.

yeah guys like that are annoying... there were people waiting out side a few lineups not even in the lineups asking people if they were giong to get "x" item I thought was sort of annoying ... what happens if something was really limited & the guy infront of me buys the last one of X item I was going to get for the guy who didn't even bother to wait in the line ?...

How did you guys do getting the exclusives? Hasbro and Mattel were absolutely insane. I got everything I needed but I was in line from about 7:45 till 3:30!

At least its over.

Damn I was hoping to get it all taken care of on Wednesday. Another question...we bought the 4 day pass and we were looking online and it mentioned that you had to be registered to go to the preview night. Are we automatically registered when we buy the 4 day pass or was there something else we had to do? Thanks again man!
