Screenshot explosion: Star Wars Lethal Alliance

While it is wide-known fact that many Bothans died trying to get their hands on blue prints for the Death Star, another lesser-known Twi'lek named Rianna Saren and her droid Zeeo also attempted to acquire them.

Set in the timeframe between episode III and IV, Star Wars: Lethal Alliance is already known to feature some form of multiplayer (cross your fingers for Wi-Fi) and familiar faces from the universe such as Darth Vader and Kyle Katarn. The folks at Ubisoft have not revealed any more information on the game, however as tightly as they closed their fist, several screenshots slipped through their fingers over to IGN.

Star Wars: Lethal Alliance Q&A

Gamespot sat down with Star Wars: Lethal Alliance's lead producer, Bertrand Helias, to grill him about the newest Star Wars game.

Okay first off, we read this...

GS: Star Wars characters in video games have a way of "discovering" latent Force powers. Can we expect Rianna to bust out a lightsaber or Force lightning at some point?

BH: No, this game won't have any lightsabers...

... and thought "what?! No lightsabers? No way! It can't be done." Patience though...

BH: ...Our Twi'lek is not a Jedi and the Force won't be with her. She is a mercenary; therefore she acts more like Han Solo than Luke Skywalker.

Okay that's acceptable, right? While it is a little disappointing, Han Solo-like qualities are appealing.

Other than the whole no lightsabers for you, young padawan ordeal, Helias did talk a little about how the two versions of the game will vary. Both DS and PSP will feature multiplayer but in the DS version you can only play Droid vs. Droid while those Sony freaks get to play as Twi'lek vs. Twi'lek.

Other things that were brought up in the interview included the introduction of both old and new environments, familiar faces that will be seen and how the young mercenary fights alongside her droid to complete missions.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Who doesn't know that phrase? Trekkies, that's who. Trekkies and those lost to games of DnD for the last 30 years.

Honestly, it is a little sad that the epic tale of Skywalker has come to an end. But, one must remember that it is only the movies that have ended. The games can go on and on.

LucasArts has teamed up with Ubisoft to create Star Wars: Lethal Alliance for the DS and PSP. The game is set in between Episode's III and IV and centers around Rebel Alliance fighter Twi'lek Rianna Saren and her droid Zeeo and their quest to get the Death Star's blueprints.

Ubi has kept really quiet about the game's features for the DS and the PSP. A multiplayer mode will be available and a ton of familiar faces like Darth Vadar, Princess Leia, Bobba Fett, and Dark Forces and Jedi Knight's Kyle Katarn will show up now and again.

The game sounds good on paper but maybe they could port it to home consoles? That way, not a single Star Wars fan will be left out.

[Thanks, Steve!]
