I Am Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty… Jedi Apprentice?!

LucasArts has revealed a somewhat unexpected addition to the cast of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, the star of comedic adventure game series Monkey Island. Either some cloning procedure has gone horribly wrong or Guybrush really is that mighty.

“Yes, this is real,” reads the official Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II Facebook page, where this pair of surprising screen shots originates. Real and spectacular, we’d say, even if it’s still unclear exactly how players will access the Guybrush Threepwood skin in LucasArts’ follow-up to the massively successful Star Wars adventure.

We’ve contacted LucasArts to see what’s up. In the meantime, spit-take all you want and keep rubbing your eyes in disbelief, but this is real.

    As soon as you finish a boss fight, there’d better be a way to say “How appropriate, you fight like a cow!”

      It is probably a pre-order bonus, so better make that a pre-order.

    “I wanna be a Jedi.”
    Or, for those who played MI4, “You can be my Leia anytime.”

      i would buy it but then what’s thre point of buying a game that you wouldn’t play? i wouldn’t play it because i’m still too busy pickng my jaw up off the ground.

      btw, you say it’s real but what of all the copyright isuues, etc?
