(RIP Soul Calibur: 1998-2008) Yoda, Vader Make SCIV Cover

By putting these iconic Star Wars characters on the box doesn’t it make Soul Calibur IV seem less like a Soul Calibur game and more like a Star Wars game? Yes, yes it does. You had a good run SC. Gonna miss ya.

Hit the jump for Yoda and try not to wonder why the Lightsabres aren’t slicing through the swords!
