Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Movie?
On September 26, 2008
“Oh, that would be incredible, and it’s not impossible. Never say never. George [Lucas] has looked to tell new Star Wars stories through the games and with the entire Star Wars Expanded Universe, and then he has also shown a willingness to let the characters come into the films. Look at Aayla Secura, a creation in the comic books who became part of the theatrical films.” - Haden Blackman, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed project lead
