LucasArts' Star Wars: The Force Unleashed delayed till next year

In a recent announcement by LucasArts, it seems that their Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will not be making it's expected release date this November (when they first announced this release, it was to be released in conjunction with the 30th anniversary of Star Wars this year, but apparently that's not the case anymore).

The question "Why, LucasArts, why?" is reportedly being screamed by fans of the series everywhere. However, to date, LucasArts has yet to give details on why they have decided to delay the release.

The game takes place between "Revenge of the Sith" and "A New Hope" with the player controlling Darth Vader's apprentice. You will have to hunt out the remaining Jedi throughout the universe. Judging from the videos, the game will be featuring awesome force powers ranging from simply knocking opponents back, to actually grabbing debris to fling at an incoming TIE fighter.

The game is now slated for release on the PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, PSP, and DS in spring 2008. How this delay will affect sales of the game is still unknown, although a lot fanboys and fangirls have maintained their resolve to pick up a copy of the game.
