I recently found out he almost had a central role in a Walking Dead Season 2 episode before they fired the director and went in a different (worse) direction. So sad to think how that could've launched his career in a whole different direction. It's also interesting to note that all Star Wars fans know him, but probably don't know that they know him.
They can totally use him in real life acting in a Star Wars movie, I mean look at how much emotion he puts into his expressions while just voice acting
Logan Frey we’ve been waiting and waiting for a long time idk if well get another but now that the clone wars and rebels is finished Sam Witwer has the time for a possible 3rd game if it came to light I did hear rumors about it but idk how true it is. One can only hope.
Force Unleashed, Kotor, Jedi Knight, X-wing, Republic Commando, Empire at War, Battlefront Classic I'd pay anyone to relive the same experience I've had when I first played those games
@@vernusred4757 Jedi: Fallen Order was an OK game. The story was not very good, but had fun gameplay. Battlefront EA and Battlefront 2 EA were very poor releases. Battlefront 2 has taken the turn for the better in the last year though! The original Battlefronts were less limiting and were more fun from a sandbox perspective.
I feel Star Wars always works when it's done by a passionate creative team but also with George Lucas magic and wisdom sprinkled on it. That's what happened with both the Clone Wars and force unleashed.
This game was pretty impressive technically for the time, looking at this now I've realized just how authentic and realistic the physics felt and looked in this game, wish it was still canon
I truly believe Sam Witwer could make a legendary character if playing the lead role in a new Star Wars movie. Even if it were just a bounty hunter or something, the guy is a master at portraying emotion through both voice and physical expression
@@thebestfreakingamer4316 Wow I genuinely didn't know that. I looked it up and it was only in rebels, which I haven't seen yet, and battlefront II. Still though the dude's impressive.
This game was the best Star Wars game ever. Its one of my favorite games period too. We need another one like this. Fallen order was alright but this game is still better in my eyes. They should do a Maul game."do it"
Honestly as great as the acting and gameplay is in this game is, it’s the tech behind it that makes it so memorable to me. Euphoria, DMM and Havok are absolutely incredible and it clearly was a great challenge for the devs to get this working
George Lucas: "-So you want to make a Star Wars game? what is it about? whats the story? whats your idea for a Star Wars game?" Disney: *signs a 5 year exclusivity deal with the worst video game company* Two aproachs to make Star Wars games, one got us LEGO Star Wars, Battlefront II, Star Wars Revenge of the Sith: the game, Republic Comandos and KOTOR 2 in a single year and the other got us EA's Battlefront 1, 2 and Jedi Fallen Order ... I think we all know which aproach we prefer
If it wasn’t for filoni being at Lucasfilm still i would’ve finally accepted that star wars is dead along with its gaming which i hate to say as a fan ,buts that’s what happens when the creator sells it to a company who mismanaged people for example the sequel triology. I feel bad for dave man all the pressure is on him its only a matter of time before someone who is higher up gets on his bad side to quit.
Man the ROTS game was so good. I loved that shit, I think it was probably the first I played where you got to be a jedi. Never played either KOTOR but just got a gaming PC so I might give em a try, I hear theyre a bit rough now but I still think Mass Effect 1 is great and I hear theyre similar to how that feels.
The gameplay physics and force powers are amazing. I went out and bought another ps3 and the sith edition and fu2 just for these games. They should definitely at least remaster it. Sam is the man too. This is canon idk what Disney says. The story is deep n artwork is amazing. I'm about to play it right now again
The story is great, the characters are great and the gameplay is great. None of it conflict anything that happens in the movies. It only complement the existing story. It's crazy to think a game from 12 years ago did a better job at being Star Wars than an entire new trilogy of movies.
*_AHH MEMORIES._* Coming home from school, turning on the Wii and straining my arm muscles from swinging my Wiimote lightsaber like a maniac. Good times.
I have only played TFU on the Wii, so I know that feeling. I was thinking of getting it for backwards compatibility for the Xbox sometime in the near future unless Lucasarts remasters it
Agreed. Played the hell out of it on Wii and recently got the switch version. Sure, some of the QTE could be more interesting but it feels SOO much more immersive actually pushing and making the force power movements. I would never want to play this on another system
Now THIS is fascinating! I’m not a gameplayer myself, but I love to watch them played by others, especially the experts. Also, I’m a big fan of Sam Witwer. I knew nothing of Force Unleashed, but I saw a clip of “They were to me!” and that started me down the rabbit hole. Thank you for this documentary!
check Ebay. They are not entirely different to be honest. The PC/PS3/360 is one version. The PS2/PSP/Wii is a different one and then the DS version. The biggest differences between the PS2/PSP/Wii is controls and a few features.
I still remember coming home from Woolworths with The Force Unleashed and Lego SW Complete Saga with my Dad when I was very young and we took turns playing all day. Good times, great games.
Haha those were the 2 star wars games I played the hell out of on Wii! Weird remembering that "Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga" is 1Mx different than the one today despite having the same name
The only good things to come out of Disney Star Wars is Mandalorian, and Rogue One. I don’t accredit CW S7 to them, since we would have gotten that, and more, had Disney not cancelled it in the first place.
I actually liked the sequel trilogy, but yeah at least the first of not the entire and maybe a third game should be canon. I liked the fact that shaak ti survived in the game
This was one of the few Games which had an even better version on the last gen (PS2). More levels, more story, more collectibles. In 2007 current gen versions focused too much on graphics.
I think the motion controls (and now switch) made this game PERFECTION. People talk shit about motion controos, but this is the perfect motion control game
The PSP's was the best version of them all, since it was the same as PS2/Wii one but with an additional duel mode with scenarios from the films exclusive to it.
It still blows my mind that again george made the first steps of mocap that is now used universally in all film and games now. Also the Wii version of the game was my favorite by far
He and ILM did soooo many things that influenced media you wouldn't even believe. Without George or Star Wars our world would lack so many stories, technology and dreams
The psp version still amazes me to this day. The full ps2 console experience with added bonus modes. Thank the maker for emulators so I can relive my 2009 summer on the go
This game deserves a remake, and not a reimagining like Resident Evil 2-4 got, a one to one remake that reuses the original performances, while including all the content that was previously exclusive to specific versions.
I played this on the Wii and the Xbox 360. I loved both versions and how they different locations like the Jedi temple in the Wii version. The DLC on the 360 was very fun too. Fighting Luke on Hoth and Obi-Wan on Tatooine was incredible. The dueling mode was also great fun on the Wii. The black crystal on the 360 version was my favourite lightsaber
I remember reading that early in the development the original plot was going to involve Darth Vader sending Starkiller to find the remains of Darth Plagueis and his studies in order to find a way to resurrect Padmé, not saying there's anything wrong with the game as it is but it makes me wonder why he never tried anything like that during his entire run as a sith lord within the empire.
Probably because by movie "cannon" Sidious is the only one with knowledge of Plaguegis n seeing as his hand in padmes death n using anakins feelings for her to manipulate him to the darkside, its doubtful he would ever present Vader with information/knowledge of his old master or a means to bring Padme back due to the risk of Vader losing his edge or anger.
when george heard they want to make wookie game he got instantly PTSD flashback from holliday special. he didnt mind then making a whole movie with main character that doesnt talk
I really wish I could shake the hands of all these people for making one of my absolute favorite pieces of Star Wars media. Also Sam Witwer might be the most gorgeous man in the world.
Star Wars The Force Unleashed was so much fun on Wii and i loved duel mode also playing with my friends :) ! It was awesome to use The Wii remote as The lightsaber and The nunchuck for your Force powers :)! I loved the cast of the game :)
I'm replaying this game...they gave it to me for 10 bucks., I'm literally having one of my favorite gaming experiences ever. It's been over a decade. I am so loving this.
Force Unleashed is more "Star Wars" than anything Star Wars has now... even currently straight Filoni *_THERE I SAID IT!_* We all know it's very overpowered in the Force, but the freaking THESIS of the game is literally "kicking people's ass with the Force," and yet it still has stakes, adventure, humor, romance, heart, sacrifice, and family both _earned_ and _rediscovered._
it's creators like this that make everything special. They have a PASSION for this and for good stories and to please the fans. Not big name corporations who push the deadline and rush games for money. screw them. Give the power back to the creators!
My dad LOVES Star Wars. My family has the Wii versions of both Force Unleashed games because my dad liked the feeling of being able to use lighting, the force, and a lightsaber.
Hearing about all the extra modes makes me wonder if there's a definitive version with everything. I know there's the Ultimate Sith edition that came out later, but I also remember it just adding what-if missions
Gostei muito desse jogo, joguei bastante, jogo incrível, podíamos fazer uso da força pra qualquer coisa. O personagem do jogo era muito forte. E muito bonitos os gráficos do jogo.
Quite literally one of the best Star Wars games ever made. Definitely needs a new sequel or a remaster/make. And Galen Marek needs his own film!!! Starring Sam Witwer of course.
though the game starts going full fanfiction level in storytelling at some point, it has without a doubt the most entertaining and fun lightsaber combat
Sam Witwer also voices Darth Maul in the Clone Wars as well as Palpatine. He is a huge Star Wars fan and knows the lore incredibly well. They couldn't have found a better man to play Starkiller. I heard a story where there was a scene planned for Clone Wars where Anakin had a vision of his mother and told her he wish she could meet his wife. Sam was the only one of the entire production team to realize the line didn't work since Shmi met Padme in Ep1.
chamoo232 yep also he was the one who told the production team in Solo that he wouldn’t have had his TPM lightsaber anymore but an inquisitor’s instead
I'm replaying this and its wild realizing how many voices from this game were in The Clone Wars. Leia's first scene I was like this HAS to be Padme's VA Catherine Taber, then another person sounded like Admiral Yularan/Tom Kane Makes me wonder if this game is to thank for the team they picked for TCW
It’s crazy really I remember seeing this game and thinking to myself how can one person like this Jedi have so much power. You play the game and it’s like nothing you have never experienced in any other Star Wars medium. I’m grateful for Lucas film not only expanding into film and books. But also making these original games we all grew up cherished and loved playing with one another thank you ! Lucas film and Sam Witer for a beautiful game set in a galaxy far far away.
Man, looking back at these guys needing out about stuff like physics sims or material simulations is almost predacious. Really goes to show how far we’ve come, since both of those things and more are essentially standard in games nowadays
The Wii port of the force unleashed is available on the Nintendo switch for a fair price, and it's just as we all remember boys. Bonus feature you can either play with a standard nintendo switch pro controller if you prefer playing like its Xbox, or you can also use the Joy Con's to actually feel connected and ultimately in control of the tremendous power this game makes all us feel. plus they've really upgraded the technology from the good old Wii days so it tracks your hand movements and button presses perfectly without lag or buffer.
As a game dev, I miss when Triple A studios pushed out passion projects and really stood behind the games we made. Now a days it's just "Pump out whatever makes money and appease shareholders"
![Making of - Dead Space [Behind the Scenes]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/xiLcKTThBY8/mqdefault.jpg)
Sam Witwer is so under appreciated he deserves so much more
What annoys me is he does so much for the animated version of star wars, yet he barely has any roles in the new cannon
I recently found out he almost had a central role in a Walking Dead Season 2 episode before they fired the director and went in a different (worse) direction. So sad to think how that could've launched his career in a whole different direction. It's also interesting to note that all Star Wars fans know him, but probably don't know that they know him.

One the best comments I have seen all month! LOL 😂
George Lucas needs to buy Star Wars back from Disney so he can make, whatever Disney de-canonized, canon again; especially The Force Unleashed 1 & 2.
A remaster or a third game is definitely needed to at least end the trilogy on a high note
George Lucas needs to buy Star Wars back from Disney so he can make, whatever Disney de-canonized, canon again; especially The Force Unleashed 1 & 2.
Agree with all of you, I do.
I like one way better than 2 but 2 was still enjoyable. Remaster of 1 would be sweet
Jay Tod disney is actually bringing back Lucas but he’d no buying it back

*_The Force Unleashed_* is absolutely still canon for me.
Absolutely love the games.
Disney are terrible at deciding what should stay canon or not
Anything Disney makes is not cannon because they bought star wars sure but Lucas is the true story teller
Actully, George Lucas didnt like the charater and also he suggested the name "darth icky". And also he is not canon in star wars legends yet.

My dad LOVES Star Wars. My family has the Wii versions of both Force Unleashed games because my dad liked the feeling of being able to use lighting, the force, and a lightsaber.
Hearing about all the extra modes makes me wonder if there's a definitive version with everything. I know there's the Ultimate Sith edition that came out later, but I also remember it just adding what-if missions
Gostei muito desse jogo, joguei bastante, jogo incrível, podíamos fazer uso da força pra qualquer coisa. O personagem do jogo era muito forte. E muito bonitos os gráficos do jogo.
Tinha que sair um filme dessa lenda
Quite literally one of the best Star Wars games ever made. Definitely needs a new sequel or a remaster/make.
And Galen Marek needs his own film!!! Starring Sam Witwer of course.
though the game starts going full fanfiction level in storytelling at some point, it has without a doubt the most entertaining and fun lightsaber combat
The FORCE UNLEASHED IS MORE STARWARS THAN THE SEQUEL TRILOGY
I thought the main character was made up but he’s real literally it’s so weird
Lol
kronos 66 i jus figured that out jus now😂😭
Sam Witwer also voices Darth Maul in the Clone Wars as well as Palpatine. He is a huge Star Wars fan and knows the lore incredibly well. They couldn't have found a better man to play Starkiller. I heard a story where there was a scene planned for Clone Wars where Anakin had a vision of his mother and told her he wish she could meet his wife. Sam was the only one of the entire production team to realize the line didn't work since Shmi met Padme in Ep1.
chamoo232 yep also he was the one who told the production team in Solo that he wouldn’t have had his TPM lightsaber anymore but an inquisitor’s instead
One of the best games I ever played!
“On next gen we have the power of the 360 and ps3” I didn’t think I’d hear anyone say that
Are you telling me Sam Witwer was Starkiller and Darth Maul?
Yes, and Papatine.
I'm replaying this and its wild realizing how many voices from this game were in The Clone Wars. Leia's first scene I was like this HAS to be Padme's VA Catherine Taber, then another person sounded like Admiral Yularan/Tom Kane
Makes me wonder if this game is to thank for the team they picked for TCW
I can only die in peace if I we receive a good sequel :(
I don’t care if it’s Canon or not, games are about having fun and it certainly delivered on that front
This game will forever be canon to us Disney stsr wars doesnt exist.
Gameplay wise, there has never been a better Star Wars game
Change my mind
Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles PS1
It’s crazy really I remember seeing this game and thinking to myself how can one person like this Jedi have so much power. You play the game and it’s like nothing you have never experienced in any other Star Wars medium. I’m grateful for Lucas film not only expanding into film and books. But also making these original games we all grew up cherished and loved playing with one another thank you ! Lucas film and Sam Witer for a beautiful game set in a galaxy far far away.
Man, looking back at these guys needing out about stuff like physics sims or material simulations is almost predacious. Really goes to show how far we’ve come, since both of those things and more are essentially standard in games nowadays
Bruh, that 100 meter lightsaber tho
The Wii port of the force unleashed is available on the Nintendo switch for a fair price, and it's just as we all remember boys. Bonus feature you can either play with a standard nintendo switch pro controller if you prefer playing like its Xbox, or you can also use the Joy Con's to actually feel connected and ultimately in control of the tremendous power this game makes all us feel. plus they've really upgraded the technology from the good old Wii days so it tracks your hand movements and button presses perfectly without lag or buffer.
Much better quality games back then, unlike the star wars games we got now
Fallen Order wasn’t bad we just really need that sequel to be really good and not rushed like Force Unleashed 2 was. Unleashed > Fallen Order though
Fallen Order was fantastic and amazing, as everyone loved it, and Battlefront 2 improved a shit ton since launch. Where the hell have you been.
@@kevintrump7086 Fallen Order, wasn't just bade, it was an amazing game which it critical acclaim.
11:35 “once you place these characters between the OT & PT, you can’t imagine Star Wars without them”...
LucasFilm & Disney: “Hold my beer.”
welp...
4k Upscale remakes for these games would be golden
Anyone else notice the Battlefront 2 text used in the titles of this video? lol. I half expect some narrative about the 501st when I see it
To this day I still want there be a Starkiller movie one day
10 years has pass and many of Starkiller fans still want TFU3.
I love the fact they used a bit of the kotor soundtrack
As a game dev, I miss when Triple A studios pushed out passion projects and really stood behind the games we made. Now a days it's just "Pump out whatever makes money and appease shareholders"
Disney is just jelous that they never creat a game like this that is so amazing and its makes more sense then the sequels.
2020 makes this hit different.
still praying for a remastered version or a third game
Back in the day when writers and developers actually asked the original creator for advice and approval. An elegant game from a more civilized era
