Purchased by more than 1.5 million customers worldwide in less than one week, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is the fastest-selling Star Wars game and LucasArts game ever and also on track to become the best-selling Star Wars game of all time. Although LucasArts shipped more than 4.3 million units of The Force Unleashed around the world in preparation for the game’s launch (on September 16 in the US and September 19 in Europe), unprecedented demand has already led to the manufacture and distribution of additional copies.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice", unveiling new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy seen through the eyes of this mysterious new character, who is armed with unprecedented powers.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is the first next-generation game developed internally at LucasArts, and is available on the Xbox®360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.

LucasArts and developer Krome Studios have also created a version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for the Wii™ home videogame system from Nintendo, PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, and n-Space, Inc. developed a version for Nintendo DS™. All feature the same storyline, with opportunities to unleash the Force in devastating new ways.

The novelization of the game’s story published by Del Rey was No. 1 on the New York Times Best Sellers list the week it launched and toys and games from Hasbro, LEGO, and Wizards of the Coast based on the property are top sellers at retailers. The promotional effort by LucasArts and Lucas Licensing also includes a full publishing program from Dark Horse, Prima Games and Palace Press.
