George Lucas Said No To A Wookiee Superhero Game
By Alex Johnson | January 01, 0001
The story propelling Lucasart’s Force Unleashed is one of apprenticeship, Imperial cleavage, good and evil. It could have been about a Wookiee superhero, which would have been awesome, but 
no, George Lucas nixed that idea. In the latest issue of GamePro, developers Haden Blackman [[link]] and Julio Torres remember the heady days of 2005, when the team was coming 
up with ideas on where/when to set Force Unleashed.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); “At one point we were [[link]] kicking around an idea where you were playing a Wookiee,” says Blackman. “It was going to be a big open world, and you’d be running around, and you’d be able to grab the heads of AT-STs and throw them at stormtroopers. It was a very over the top-style superhero game.”
But no. Blackman says Lucas himself turned that idea down, insisting that the game “needed to focus on character interaction [[link]] and dialog”. Right, the two things Star Wars does worst. Way to go, George. Force Unleashed Could Have Been a Wookiee “Superhero” Game [GamePro, via 1UP]
