Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a video game for the Wii and Nintendo DS. It was released in September of 2008. It takes place between the third and fourth Star Wars films and stars Darth Vader's young apprentice. While not the first game to use the Wii Remote as a lightsaber, it uses it more efficiently than the previously released Lego Star Wars games. Duel mode and five extra levels are also exclusive to the Wii version, and is not present in the Xbox and Playstation 3 variations. The Wii version was developed by Krome Studios and the DS version was developed by n-Space. In the game, you play as Darth Vader's secret apprentice Galen Marek (his real name is never mentioned; he instead goes under the code name of Starkiller). Vader appoints an Imperial pilot, Juno Eclipse, to pilot Starkiller's ship, the Rogue Shadow. Starkiller takes his droid, PROXY, with him, and goes about hunting Jedi from the Old Republic. Eventually, he gathers senators that oppose the Emperor, and create the Rebel Alliance. On the last level, you may decide to fight Vader or the Emperor, thus choosing your destiny.
