Soul Calibur 4 Media Shows New Star Wars Character

Following up on yesterday's revelation that Soul Calibur IV will feature another Star Wars fighter, publisher Namco has issued new screenshots and footage.

Hailing from LucasArts' Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, the Secret Apprentice will be the only Star Wars character to appear in both the Xbox 360 and PS3 releases of SC4. Yoda is exclusive to the Xbox 360 version and Vader only appears in the PS3 edition.

"The Secret Apprentice is a great fit for Soul Calibur, a franchise known for its over-the-top characters and frenzied fighting action," noted LucasArts' Haden Blackman.

A new trailer, including Secret Apprentice gameplay, is viewable below:
