Now those bonus characters right there most definitely an upgrade from Soul Calibur II’s Heihachi and Spawn. I’d love to know how much Namco Bandai had to pay Lucas arts to include Yoda and Vader, because George would not whore those characters out for cheap.

Oddly enough Yoda actually looks like he fits in. Darth Vader, not so much. You can bet that Yoda is going to be as cheap as hell though. Not only will he be the smallest character in the game meaning that most horizontal attacks will go straight over his head, but he’ll probably be the fastest of the bunch and be able to use the force to push characters back and lob his lightsaber as a projectile. It’d be cool of Yoda and Vader both got their own stages too; something the bonus characters were denied in Soul Calibur II. They wouldn’t fit in with the look of the game whatsoever (unless Yoda’s stage was set on the planet of Dagobah), but it’d be cool none the less. Fitting in sometimes goes out of the window during fan service. Vader most definitely needs to have a stage set on top of a Star destoyer with lots of tie fighters and X-wings battling it out in the background as the Death stars looms in the distance. And of course it wouldn’t be complete without “The imperial march” as the stage’s theme song. Awww yeah!
