Will Starkiller and Juno return for new Force Unleashed adventures?In a new interview with IGN on his role as Darth Maul in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, actor Sam Witwer has begun discussions on a possible third entry in The Force Unleashed franchise. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II was released in 2010 to mixed reviews yet strongly positive sales, so fans have rightly been clamouring for a conclusion to this trilogy after a big cliffhanger ended the second instalment.
Here's what Witwer had to say: "I would certainly be open to it. The thing is, right now, Lucasfilm needs to concentrate on this little thing called Star Wars Episode VII. If I'm them, that's where my focus is going right now, and it has to. It's the most important thing they have coming up in the future. The Clone Wars is already successful. Now Disney has to prove themselves with ownership of the franchise. Kathleen Kennedy needs to shepherd that into some far-reaching stuff. In terms of cold, business, financial matters, The Force Unleashed series is extraordinarily viable. It did very, very well. We also have that third part of the story that Haden Blackman and I have talked about that's really wonderful. I think that you could see us round back to it and finish it up, but it would obviously be for the next generation of console systems, certainly not this one. And it would have to be after Episode VII. It just has to be that way. Lucasfilm is the kind of company that puts all of its resources behind the project they're doing at the time. So, really, that's where I'd put my resources if I were Lucasfilm."
Star Wars Episode VII is set for release in 2015.
