The Force Unleashed DLC You Really Wanted Is Here

New Jedi Temple level and a freaking raft of new costumes are available on PSN and XBLM.

Please cut my head off!
Please cut my head off!
Last time LucasArts dropped some downloadable content for The Force Unleashed--and it wasn't that long ago, let's be honest--all we got was a stack of new costumes to slap onto your Force-wielding badass. Kind of a hard sell at $5, or the Microsoft equivalent, especially if you finished the game beforehand.

As of today, there's some honest-to-goodness new Force Unleashed content to play through (and I think we've all heard by now that content is king). It's a whole new level set in the Jedi Temple on capital world Coruscant, where you as the apprentice are looking to find out more about your father, and "confront demons" in the process. By demons, they might mean stormtroopers.

You may download the pack for $9.99 on the PlayStation Network or 800 MS points on XBL Marketplace. LucasArts did ya a solid by throwing in a bunch of freebie costumes in with this pack.

  • Apprentice's Temple Exploration Gear
  • Apprentice - Cybernetic Reconstruction
  • Apprentice's Sith Training Gear
  • Mace Windu
  • Darth Maul
  • Qui-Gon Jinn
  • Dark Stalker
  • Lightsaber Training Droid
  • Combat Training Droid

Some decent ones in there. They also put out another $5/400-point costume pack with the following (the ones you really want).

  • Apprentice’s Utility Combat Suit
  • Apprentice – Animated
  • Spirit Apprentice
  • Republic Trooper
  • Luke Skywalker – Tatooine Gear
  • Ben Kenobi
  • Plo Koon
  • Count Dooku
  • Jango Fett
  • C-3P0

I almost want to pony up to play as C-3P0. Almost.

Because Publishers don't give a shit anymore and only seek to profit off us?

I'd buy this if you could play as Chuck Norris or some other non-Star Wars character. Maybe Captain Picard or Dr. House?

This does not change the fact that most people who care about this are already done playing it.

I don't know why but my favorite DLC or unlockables have always been alternate costumes. I'll be getting these ASAP.

I wanted to be charged two months after the game's release for a level that was already developed and should have already been in the game?

Letting you play as C-3PO almost just made me go buy this game.

I'm about as die-hard a Star Wars fan as the next guy, but I can't see getting all worked up over a couple of skins for the game. Not that I didn't find Force Unleashed enjoyable (I did), but not all downloadable content is created equal.

This is the problem with DLC, developers know the less amount of content they can put out at launch, the more they will sell in DLC, they probably had all this developed from the start and just decided not to include it so they could get every last drop of money out of this game.

Here is the first skin pack for those interested. I'll probably buy these also because this game has some sort of demonic hold over me.

It F'ing sucks that they didnt put it in the game to begin with because they want to just suck the money from everyone. I want this content though so I guess I am going to end up buying it.......frigging money hungry douche bags in the world make me sick.

If you go on teh GameFAQs, you'll see that all these skins (well most of them) were in the Wii version of the game outright. I know it's technically not the same game, but considering the Wii-360 ratio of game content, that equals money grubbing to me.

I'm going to have to buy this for the sole reason alone that it's destroyed my perfect 1000/1000 score.

The DLC I wanted is for him not to hold his saber like a retard. But he's too DARK AND EDGY for that.

Until a pack where the lightsabers actually cut dudes instead of replicating a glowing stick, I don't care what characters are in it.  C3PO with a saber is choice though.

Im glad they put some worthwhile content up for download, just finished downloading the level but need to get the game back of my bro lol.  Only thing that annoys me about the extra characters is that they dont hold the lightsabre the right way, they still stand and fight like Starkiller.   Maybe a bit geeky but id have liked them to hold them properly.

Just the mission pack. Costumes are useless.
