A chance to get to force grip more stormtroopers? Excellent. LucasArts has announced that they will be releasing downloadable content packs for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed in the next few months for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. What can we expect from the DLC? Details after the link.

Home, Sony's online virtual community for the PS3, will apparently strictly be a t-shirt and jeans affair. In a recent interview with the Official PlayStation Magazine, Home Executive Producer Peter Edwards revealed that having non-human and other fantastical avatars "is not the Home ethic".

"If everyone's walking around dressed as Orcs or stormtroopers or whatever, then you lose that welcoming, accessible element that means Mum, Dad, and your sister might get involved as well," said Edwards. "The idea is to keep it as accessible, mainstream, and friendly as possible."

That effectively rules out any kind of cosplaying by Home users. Personally, this blogger thinks this could lead to some backlash about censorship and the freedom to express one's individuality, but then there are other ways to express yourself apart from dressing up as a balding red ape with a necktie.

What about you guys? Leave a comment below and let us know what you think.

What we have here is supposed to be a pre-visualization video for the next-gen Star Wars game. Now, don't go ga-ga all over this one just yet. Remember, the operative word here is "supposed". No news yet on whether or not this is authentic. This is most likely not real-time either. If it turns out to be real, though, then fans are in for quite a treat.

Anyway, enjoy the video and see all the nice little Stormtroopers flying around in the air. Heh, the Empire really should just learn and give them some flying lessons or something. Or maybe they could start some kind of aerial ballet troupe. That'd be a good source of income for when they retire from active duty, although we somehow doubt that Stormtroopers ever reach retirement age.
