For those Star Wars geeks out there... slight spoiler alert

I was just playing Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, where you play as Darth Vader's apprentice trying to help him overthrow the emperor. The game takes place between episodes 3 and 4, right after annakin becomes vader and has hunted down most of the jedi council.

Anyway, about 3/4 of the way through the game, this droid, who's been programmed to train you by taking on the aspects of an opponent and trying to kill you, shows up and takes you on. You beat him, and he tells you he has one form that he's been saving for years to try on you. Then... he turns into Darth Maul, complete with the double light sabers. The music from episode one when Jinn and Kenobi fight him starts playing. YOU GET TO FIGHT DARTH MAUL IN ALL HIS GLORY WITH THE SOUNDTRACK. Needless to say I almost exploded from the excitement. Anyway, it is one of the most epic battles in star wars game history.

If you are a star wars and video game fan, you owe it to yourself to buy or at least rent this game just for that experience alone. Fighting rancors and using the force to crush a star destroyer and taking on the emperor and darth vader in one on one combat are pretty amazing, but the Darth Maul battle is epic.

I don't mind Darth Maul, but I HATED that scene's score with a passion. They never used singing (besides actual songs) in the other movies. Right then when I heard that, I was pretty much convinced that Episode 1 sucked.
Anyways, I'm a geek and I love Star Wars, but haven't played many of the games. I do think that Clone Wars is one of the best and coolest shows on TV right now.

Really? I LOVED the score there. I thought it was great, but that's just me I guess. I will say that when he turned into Darth Maul and activated his double light saber one right after the other just like in the movie, and the music started, my inner geek jumped right out of my chest, stared at me and said "HELLOOO-OOO!" (think queer eye for the straight guy) and I got goosebumps. Literally, I got goosebumps. I've replayed that level like five times just to get to do that fight over and over again.

I had no idea you were into Star Wars OR video games, Windsor. Now I DEFINITELY need to start a "Windsor is HOT" thread!!! ;)

I am a geek through and through. Star Wars & Star Trek - video games (although I generally suck at them I CAN tell when the game coders have re-used coded from 10 levels ago....so I make a great co-pilot)

I want a PS2 (or I guess 360 or PS3) version of the original Star Wars game from the arcade back in the '80s. Does anyone remember that one? I could buy the one linked below but don't have $7000 to spare so I'll have to hold out for a modern version (apparently it is included as an add-on in a Gamecube game).
