The game takes place between Episode III and IV.
The apprentice, codenamed Starkiller, seems to be a ‘foster-son’ to Darth Vader. We know he doesn’t work out, or at the very least, we know he doesn’t remain in the big picture, given that there are no allusions to any dark apprentice, Starkiller, or Jacob Nion (I believe that’s his real name), in the original movie series.

There are four core force powers: Push, Grip, Repulse, and Lightning.
Unlike the Jedi Knight series of games, there will a limited number of force powers at your disposal. However, These should be off the scale compared to any other Star Wars game. The underlying theme of this game seems to be destruction, so I would imagine being able to pick up a TIE Fighter and throwing through a wall. Or being able to chain lighting several fuel tanks. Or combining these powers, force gripping a person, electrocuting him and then throwing him into a fuel tank.

Locations include the Wookie homeplanet of Kashyyyk, Felucia (a floral planet, I’m sure we’ve seen it in trailers and screens), a junk planet called Raxas Prime, and a TIE Fighter construction facility.
I think the point here is that the dark apprentice goes from planet to planet hunting down Jedi. However, these locations seem to be created specifically for the game, so as not to disturb the actual lore built up in books, comics, and cartoons.

Decisions made by players will alter the path of the game’s story, and multiple endings will “Rock the Star Wars continuity as they know it.”
Sounds like media hype to me.

I know this fact sheet was released quite a while ago – actually, the sheet has the game slated for a Spring 2008 release, so I’m sure they’re a bit late on this one. Anyway, no sign of any stances, I think it’s a different dev team altogether. From the looks of it, this stuff is going to be very force heavy anyway, so the focus lies there. I’ve scoured the intarweb for a force powers demo, and managed to find one courtesy of IGN.com. My favourite part is at 0:48. I get the feeling I’ll be doing that. A lot.
