09.Jun.2008 New Soul Caliber IV Character: Darth Vader’s Secret Apprentice

As read on the Guardian Games Blog (link via @Belldandy):

You heard it here last... Yep, Namco has announced a new character for Soul Calibur IV and it's yet another Star Wars refugee. Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice from Force Unleashed is the incoming pugilist, joining Vader himself as well as pint-sized sentence-mangler, Yoda. "The Secret Apprentice is a great fit for Soulcalibur," said someone from the Force Unleashed camp, whose originality chip was clearly malfunctioning. How did the phrase 'great fit' become obligatory when describing any kind of 'franchise crossover'?

That's cool and all, but we don't really know if he is a total knob yet. Also, I wonder if he will be on a specific system (like the Wii?!). I am so tired of separating characters like that. I want Vader and Yoda to fight!

OMG, Lucas never gave us that!
