An interview was released today with Sam Witmer (Smallville, Battlestar Galactica) whose likeness and voice are used for Starkiller, the Force Unleashed hero. Witmer discusses his anxiety of creating a new Star Wars character when the first Unleashed video game was distributed in 2008. But heading into the release of Unleashed II he's sounding confident. Witmer had this to say about the character:

"The first game had a lot of twists and turns, and the plot was a little complicated. In a good way. This one is very, very straightforward, and it's literally all about the character, it's all about his psychology and what he's going through. And so, the plot is simple, the psychology is complex, which I love."

Witmer goes on to discuss the return of Starkiller, a seeming impossibility considering the conclusion of the first game. Read the full interview at Denofgeek.

Game Availability: End of October on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii and DS.
