PSN/XBLA demo of The Force Unleashed with 'unique ending' hits next month

     demos

I'm prepared to dodge stones: I'm not a huge fan of Star Wars or its universe. I get it -- really, I do -- but I've never really gotten it. But if a Barbie game looked as kickass as LucasArts' Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, I'd be just as excited about that. 

So it's with great excitement that I bring news of a The Force Unleashed demo that is slated to hit PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Marketplace next month. The demo will give players a handful of force powers in a demo version of the game's "Tie Fighter Construction Facility" level which, if early video of the game is any indication, is going to get trashed. 

LucasArts' marketing dude Matt Shell confirmed the demo in an interiew with G4 TV, stating that the demo would have a "unique ending" for demo players. Anyone care to guess what that might mean?

The full version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is scheduled to hit retail Xbox 360 and PS3 on September 16. If you're too impatient to wait for the demo or too lazy to play it yourself, be sure to check out our hands-on preview.

RRoD would be a unique ending for your second (or third, or fourth 360)

Wait, what?...

The unique ending is probably just some tantalizing hint to make you want to buy the game, while the level in the actual game will fit moreso into the story.

If you own Soul Calibur IV, finishing the Force Unleashed demo unlocks Vader/Yoda.

Pissing on Funkiller's [insert console], is a unique ending.

Wait, what?...

Darth Vader is his cousin's mother's sister's friend's uncle's best friend's next door neighbor's marriage counselor.

BTW, I have never seen the Star Wars movies. At this point it's just a test to see how long I can go without ever watching it.

A 'unique ending' would be the game turning into Jessica Simpson and giving me a BJ. Or 'happy ending,' I forget which.

The Apprentice saves the president, and is rewarded with a cheeseburger.

um . . . didn't the guy on G4 just say the game would have a different ending for that level than the demo did . . .

Suprise ending: The apprentice has NOT been working for Vader at all. He was actually contracted by Satoru Iwata to destroy all the "hardcore" gamers of the known universe. DAMN YOU IWATA!

P.S. Cammie is Yoda.

A demo of a full retail game on Xbox live arcade? Am I reading that right?
I'm kidding, can't wait to see how this game plays.

I'm exciting, but I hate to say I haven't been following news about this game so much. The lightning and force push look BAD ASSS

I'm with gotdurnrite but the game itself looks promising.

Unique endings? Maybe on the X360 demo, the apprentice get's pregnant before starting work with Darth Sugar, and on PS3, the apprentice phones in sick on the first day?
