"The Star Wars saga will continue in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny."

This is definitely going to be one of the big hits in the Star Wars universe. I've been surfing around and have found some very high quality screens of The Force Unleashed. Here they are for your viewing pleasure:

The Story So Far

- Lucasfilm

On the front lines of an intergalactic struggle between good and evil, fans young and old will join such favorite characters as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padmé Amidala, along with brand-new heroes like Anakin's padawan learner, Ahsoka. Sinister villains – led by Darth Sidious, Count Dooku and General Grievous – are poised to rule the galaxy. Stakes are high, and the fate of the Star Wars universe rests in the hands of the daring Jedi Knights. Their exploits lead to the action-packed battles and astonishing new revelations that fill Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

The Characters

Anakin Skywalker

- Lucasfilm

Though he eventually strays from the path of good in Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker first establishes himself as the most fierce and fearless Jedi of them all during the three year-long Clone Wars. During the Jedi Council's conflict against Count Dooku and his eparatist forces, Anakin rises as one of the galaxy's most legendary warriors.
As seen in the 2003 Clone Wars animated series, Anakin's most noteworthy feats during this time include a battle with Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress, and the liberation of the Nelvaanians from the Techno Union.
Though this new series promises to be more than just a rehash of events and stories we've already seen, we wouldn't mind seeing these pivotal moments again, albeit in glorious 3D, CGI-animated form. Either way, knowing what Anakin accomplishes during the crucial time period that this new series encompasses, we're confident that Anakin will play a huge role in the story's biggest action scenes and most important character pieces. Expect to see the emotionally-conflicted Anakin continue to bump heads with his mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, as Anakin takes greater steps towards the dark side. Perhaps most importantly, Anakin will be paired with his own Padawan, an all-new female character named Ahsoka Tano.

- Lucasfilm

Ahsoka Tano

- Lucasfilm

Little has been revealed about this brand-new addition to the Star Wars mythos, except for this brief description from StarWars.com:
"This young Togruta is eager to prove herself as a worthy Padawan to her bold Master, Anakin Skywalker. Able to wield a lightsaber and pilot a spacecraft with great talent, Ahsoka promises to become a worthy Jedi."
Considering there is no mention of the character in Revenge of the Sith, does that mean that Ahsoka doesn't make it out of the Clone Wars alive? If she doesn't, then one has to wonder if she isn't one of the first casualties as a result of Anakin's trip to the Dark Side. Such a dark turn of events would make for something recent Wars exploits have lacked: Very compelling drama.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

- Lucasfilm

During the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan rises to become one of the most respected elder statesmen of the Jedi Council.
Even as his relationship with his one-time protégé, Anakin Skywalker, continues to splinter, Kenobi plays a tremendous role in the Jedi Council's war against Count Dooku and the separatists. It will be interesting to see Obi-Wan's place in the Jedi Council, and how his relationship with his fellow Knights unfolds prior to the tragic events of Episode III. Obi-Wan is a vital player in the Star Wars mythos, and we're confident this new series will be provide much Obi-Wan goodness.

Count Dooku

- Lucasfilm

Seeing that Count Dooku played such a huge part in both Attack of the Clones and the 2003 animated series, it's safe to assume that this former Jedi-turned-Separatist leader and apprentice to Darth Sidious will once again serve as the series' most active villain.
Whether he's conspiring with Palpatine behind the scenes, teaching General Grevious the art of the lightsaber, capturing Obi-Wan Kenobi or simply testing Anakin at the behest of his master, we can't wait to see more of Count Dooku in action. This character represents the dark path that is ahead of Anakin Skywalker, one that is ripe with dramatic and action-packed potential.

General Grievous

- Lucasfilm

The asthmatic, multi-armed badass returns to the Star Wars universe, this time playing a much larger role and much more sinister thorne in Anakin's side.
Judging by the teaser for the series over at StarWars.com, Grievous seems to share much of the villain spotlight with his peer, Count Dooku. What schemes are the two conspiring together for our Jedis to deal with? We'll have to wait until the show airs to know for certain, but we can assume it involves lightsabers and Jedis getting FUBAR'd by 'em.

Yoda

- Lucasfilm

After the action-packed climax of Attack of the Clones and his prominent role in the 2003 animated series, it's hard for any Yoda fan to hear the words "Clone Wars" without getting giddy for more of everyone's favorite backwards-talker kicking serious butt.
From the 2003 series, we know that Yoda is made a Republican General and leads a series of vital rescue and attack missions. Alongside fellow Jedi Master Mace Windu, Yoda is bound to play a critical role in the series, a role that will see him wear a variety of hats, such as that of spiritual, political and military leader. Oh, and don't forget Jedi warrior.

Mace Windu

- Lucasfilm

As the Jedi master who leads the Republic's forces in Episdode II's Battle of Geonosis, Mace Windu seems poised make a huge impact in this new series. Windu prides himself as not only an incredible warrior (with or without his lightsaber, but also as a diplomat. It should be fascinating to watch this character deal with these conflicting sides of his personality as the Clone Wars rage on to the point of no return.

Padmé Amidala

- Lucasfilm

Queen Amidala promises to be one of the most versatile characters in the new animated series, largely because she plays several key roles in the saga: Republican Diplomat, secret wife to Anakin Skywalker and occasional participant in some sort of action.
Padme's secret correspondence with her husband throughout the Clone Wars should shed valuable light on their relationship, leading up to Anakin's eventual decent into madness following her tragic death. Likewise, she should offer valuable insight into the politics behind the Separatist movemen, and the Republic's attempts to squash it.

The Force Could be Strong with This One

- Lucasfilm

For some, the prequel films left a very bitter after taste in the mouths of many die-hard fans. Too much political double-talk, not enough double-bladed lightsaber action. The Clone Wars promises to unleash some heavy-PG-13 violence our way, with scenes that hopefully push the characters into new directions while showing off their Jedi-fighting skills.
With that said, here are some character confrontations we would like to see: A Yoda vs. Dooku rematch is a must, but the stakes need to be elevated, something on par with the Luke-Vader fight in Empire. Also, any thing featuring Mace getting all medieval on Clone Troopers is almost fun to watch.
And if Grievous is making a return, then the character's full potential needs to be met. Episode II's hype machine made it seem like Grievous was going to be on par with Vader in terms of menace and skill-set. Yet, when all was said and done, all Grievous did was wheez and stomp around a lot. Maybe Lucas should spend less time enlighting us on Trade Federation practics and more time listening to what fans - and his franchise - deserve: Give Grievous and Kenobi a fight worthy of their two talents. It would be one for the ages, and a sure bet to make Clone Wars a stand-out chapter in our favorite space saga.

When I first saw Cyclops in the first X-men movie I was hooked on those pair of glasses. So it became my aim to obtain one of these. The desired effect is shown in these shot compilations:


We can see Cyclops above using the Juliet frame from Oakley but with Ruby Quartz lenses on. These are dyed a deep dark red and gave him headaches. In fact, many have reported that dark red lenses are impossible to wear for more than an hour without suffering. The guy at the bottom is a character from Black Hawk Down. He is sporting Ruby Iridium lenses.

Let's face it, the color of the newer Ruby lenses SUCK! Take a look at the first ones I got and you will wonder why this was called Ruby in the first place.

I had to pay extra to get these replaced with a slightly more purplish pair, these actually were quite nice as shown here:

But as of today, I have managed to obtain a pair of +Red lenses for the Juliet frame to create the closest thing to a pair of Cyclops shades. Check out these shots...


You be the judge and decide which one looks better.
