Darth Vader playable in Star Wars: the Force Unleashed

Can you guess who’s one of the playable characters in the upcoming game Star Wasr: The Force Unleashed (Sony PS3 , Microsoft Xbox 360)? For starters, he’s one of the first cool bad guys with real followings. Yup, it’s none other than Darth Vader and he’s itching to kick some furry Wookiee butt when this game hits. More details in the full version.

There’s good news to every action fan waiting for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on the Sony PS3 and Microsoft Xbox 360. It’s been revealed that Darth Vader will be a playable character replete with all his awesome powers and of course, his trusty light saber.

What makes this revelation even cooler is the fact that you’ll be using Darth Vader to raise hell over at the planet Kashyyyk. For the benefit of the uninitiated, Kashyyyk is a Wookiee world inhabited by Chewbacca’s homies.

This essentially gives a lot of us the chance to live our childhood dreams of laying waste on the furry do-gooders. We must say that this is an excellent way to use the Force.
