Yoda - Image 1Darth Vader - Image 1No, we're not kidding. Namco Bandai somehow employed the dark lord Darth Vader and Jedi master Yoda in Soul Calibur 4 (Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3). Even with the screenshots to prove it, we still find it hard to believe. We've seen Heihachi, Spawn and Link in the series, but Star Wars characters? This isn't the tale of souls and swords and light sabers, is it?

Namco Bandai sure is "transcending history" with its next-gen installment of the long-running fighting game series, because we're still puzzled over how Darth Vader and Yoda will fit in the timeline. We do know that Mitsurugi fighting the dark side and Taki defending herself against the Grand Master of the Jedi Order should leave fans of both Soul Calibur and Star Wars stunned.

How blades can withstand the light saber, we may never find out. When Soul Calibur 4 gets released, we're sure to search for any possible way to put the Soul Edge in the hands of the small green guy and see if it eats his soul. For now, you can check out the screens below from 1up and be amazed by how detailed the two guests are rendered in the game.

Thanks to Jerry for the tip!

Forgetting Something

Remember when all systems had their specific character join the Soul Calibur fray in S.C II. Which Nintendo had Link, SONY had that old guy from Tekken and Microsoft had Spawn.

who you telling?

first Link, Spawn, and Heihachi were in part 2, then we have Pikmin + Olimar/snake/sonic/lucas in smash brothers brawl, now this. It's going to get to a point where akuma fights sub-zero, terry (kof) fights mario, and megaman will fight in tekken. completely insane

I would rather see Grievous in there for some sexy looking multi-lightsaber-wielding action... Ah well... Maybe next time
