I found this just now:

I don’t know if you all can see this because its from the msnbc Canadian site. I imagine there is an American equivalent link. Its a (video) news story discussing how the storytelling in the new video games such as Force Unleashed II are better and more interesting than Lucas’ attempts in the prequels. Thought it was an interesting examination. Purists may complain that FUII has trendy things like slow-motion/bulletime, and that its too violent and caters to adult audiences looking for something “cool” (whatever that means), and I guess there’s some truth in that, but I have to admit the trailer for FUII is better than anything I’ve seen Lucas write since 1977.
