AusGamers spoke to TFUII producer, Brett Rector, about Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II.
From the interview:
"AG: Now the first game touted Felucia as a rich alien world where you guys got to play with the new tech that you had, but it was a first time around utilising that - what did you learn from that experience and will we see more alien worlds that go beyond just making rubbery plants and the like?
Brett: Sure, well you saw we have Cato Namoidia this time around which also featured in [Episode III] Revenge of the Sith, so we're kind of imagining that planet as well and in the first game we had Felucia, but you didn't see too much of that in the movies and it was great to play in that world and that's where we took the technology, to serve our purposes. So now you're going to see more alien worlds and you'll be able to interact with them the way that you would expect to interact with them (or a place like Cato Namoidia)..."
In an era where pixels ruled the screen and creativity sparked the imagination, a few names stand out as trailblazers in the gaming industry – David Fox is undoubtedly among them.

Join Sector as he shares captivating stories about the birth of LucasArts and the enthralling narratives behind some of the industry's most beloved classics.
eh…Gilbert, Purcell Schaffer were the trail blazers in that crew. David, while he did do some stuff once, like a real long ass time ago is more like b-list personality that specializes in reminiscing and signing ops at a convention.

Andersson will act as design director on the title and work in parallel with creative director Axel Torvenius – who was previously art director for the Wolfenstein games and with executive producer Jerk Gustafsson at the helm.
You know what games I want way more than Indiana Jones? The darkness and Riddick.
Haha, completely agree... But, the fact that he is involved in this is a definitely a positive sign! Could actually be a good game!
You might be right. Indiana Jones will never do Jackie or Riddick stuff though. The darkness was brutal on the eyes and ears lol.
The Darkness was an underrated gem. Fantastic lore and Mike patton from Faith No More voicing the darkness is up there with the great video game voice overs imo.
