Okay, I finally got unlazy enough to read the article. It is just Yoda and Vader showing up as guest characters on Soul Calibur IV. So it isn't really even a SW game. All it is really is LFL playing the pimp and whoring out some of its properties. I guess it was kind of a cool gimmick with Soul Calibur III when they put a different bonus character in the game for each console. And as much out of place as a character like the Spawn might have been in such a game, Vader and Yoda are incredibly out of place. Kind of reminds me of Toy Story where the kid would have his space marine doll fighting an evil Mr. Potato head. It is like a kid is taking his Star Wars toys and piting them against characters from an entirely different series of toys. But hey, those marketing guys really know their stuff. Just think of all the SW fans who are going to be dishing out money for a game they would not have otherwise.
