Star Wars, nothing but Star Wars.
Star Wars, nothing but Star Wars.
Some time back, LucasArts announced two pieces of downloadable content for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. I guess it was right around the point where the game sold approximately eleventy billion copies (rough estimate). The meatier, more interesting of the two packages consists of a brand-new level set in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

But that's not what you get today! Today is the release of the game's costume pack, which will run you 400 Microsoft points on Xbox Live Marketplace, or $4.99 on the PlayStation Store. Here's what your five bones will get you.

  • Hooded Combat Gear
  • General Starkiller
  • Sith Assassin
  • Imperial Commando
  • Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker
  • Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi
  • Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker
  • Darth Sion
  • Ki-Adi-Mundi
  • Kit Fisto

As far as I know, these are just cosmetic costume changes and don't confer new Force powers or anything snazzy. Download 'em today! Or don't!

i have no idea who will buy this stuff. i mean, $5 for a skin? and they don't even move different or have special abilities? i think this is an issue of quantity versus quality that they're on the wrong side of...

Free = that is cool.
Not free = that is a money grubbing, evil scheme designed soley to drain people's wallets.

If it's cosmetic changes only, no thanks.  That's a bit steep for different appearances.

I would, but $4.99 is too expensive.

$5 for 9 costumes isn't too bad, but I'll wait until the new campaign DLC rolls out and I'm playing the game again.

I would if it wasn't so much....200 points would've made more sense to me.

Imperial Commando? Maybe a hint?

Free would of made sense for just cosmetic changes...

I assume this is all canon? Darth Vader's secret apprentice is Anakin Skywalker?

Darth Sion? That's pretty cool, that they'll reach back into KOTOR. I'd rather see Nihilus or a fully sithed-out Revan, but that counts for something.

Costumes for $5?  I wouldn't pay $5 for the game itself.
