This summer, Xbox and PlayStation junkies will get to feel as if they’ve gone inside a Star Wars movie, one that in some ways has a mind of its own. As the author discovers firsthand, video games are entering a whole new universe.

The Force Unleashed
One of my first projects at LucasArts will be the development of the TFU web site. Creating a game web site is nothing like building a news web site, or is it?
The web provides us with a unique medium for extending a story online whether it be a local news story or the story of Darth Vader’s Apprentice.

And as I’ve mentioned before, I love the idea of continuing a story across multiple media.
As part of the online marketing team, it is my job to help come up with ways for us to extend the TFU story on the web site and allow fans to connect and build community around the story.
Have I mentioned how cool my job is?
