A year ago today LucasArts' revolutionary Star Wars video game The Force Unleashed hit retail store shelves after a long (and often delayed) wait.

The ground-breaking release introduced gamers to brand new in-game technologies such as Havoc, Digital Molecular Matter (DMM), and Euphoria, adding a sense of realism and responsiveness that had never been experienced before. Who can forget the thrill and excitement the first time you Force-grabbed a Stormtrooper and hurled him thru a pane of glass? Or how about using the Force-push ability to toss helpless Rebel Troopers off landing platforms and over-matched Wookies off bridges?

Ahhh, the good times we had.

Since its release on September 16th 2008, gamers have been treated to a multitude of downloadable content for The Force Unleashed, ranging from additional playable character packs to new level designs. There's also been books and toy merchandise that fans snapped up to add to their growing Star Wars collections.

And at the very top of that list is the upcoming second iteration of the game entitled The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition, which should be available for purchase on November 3rd.
