I have no idea what’s going on here. I either haven’t been getting enough info on the future Soul Calibur IV game, or this was just a crazy broadside at CES. Just watch this if you have any interest whatsoever, I don’t wish to spoil the surprise:

Yes, somehow Soul Calibur will have Yoda and Vader. I checked the calender, and it’s not April 1st. So, yeah, I dunno. Soul Calibur 2 is still one of my all time favorite console games, and I’m sure I’ll play a bunch of IV. All I can think of is they are competing with the yet-to-be-released Super Smash Bros. Brawl from Nintendo, with its mishmash of characters in a fighting game.

I’m pretty confident both are still going to be a blast.

It’s the 30th anniversary of Star Wars. This week there is a celebration and convention at the Los Angeles Convention Center called Star Wars Celebration IV. A featured exhibit at this event is called The Vader Project, in which 66 artists were invited to submit their own version of the Darth Vader Helmet.

Here’s a Flickr gallery with the helmets. Some samples:
