In stores now are a pair of The Force Unleashed titles, plus the newest Wizards of the Coast gaming guide.
First up is Sean Williams' adaptation of the video game story. This hardcover novel follows the canon-storyline (as does the graphic novel) which is one of five-possible endings in the video game. Of course, if you are staying spoiler-free until the game comes out, you should hold off on reading this. But if you're eager to see the new direction of the Star Wars universe, it'll cost you $26!
Next is The Art and Making of The Force Unleashed by W. Haden Blackman & Brett Rector, with an intro by Hayden Christensen. As with other behind-the-scenes books, expect lots of sketches and images from designers to explanations of the breakthru euphoria and DMM video game engines. This oversized softcover will set you back $29.95.
Finally, for all of the roleplaying game fanatics, comes the Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide by Rodney Thompson, Sterling Hershey, John Jackson Miller, and Abel G. Peña. Get the scoop and information on all your favorite characters, planets, ships, and aliens from the distant past of the Star Wars universe. Only $39.95!
