First, there was Vader and Yoda, and today Namco Bandai announced that another secret Star Wars character would be fighting it out in the Soul Calibur universe: The Secret Apprentice.

Known best as the mysterious force-wielding baddie from the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed cross-platform title, the Secret Apprentice will be featured on both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 versions of Soul Calibur IV.

"The Secret Apprentice is a great fit for Soulcalibur, a franchise known for its over-the-top characters and frenzied fighting action," said Haden Blackman, project lead for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed at LucasArts. "We're extremely proud to give fighting fans a sneak peek at one of the most intriguing new Star Wars videogame characters in a long time."

More pics and a teaser trailer announcing the new character are available over at Kotaku.

Personally, I feel that this is a good consolation prize for X360 owners who can't play with Darth Vader. Red lightsabers are the best lightsabers. BWA HA HA HA HA.

definitely picking this game up...but really, is this one of the most intriguing characters from the SW universe? I don't think so....hmmmm, let's take a look at our generic meter--space guy, bald, white, angry look on his face....WOW, now that's some fucking originality. Fuck George lucas, and anything dealing with lucasarts, especially after those assholes hire some other asshole from EA and then fire half the staff. Way to go douche bags!
