Guess who's showing up in Soul Calibur IV?

Jedi, apparently.

Also, it would seem that they are doing the "console exclusive thing again. Vader on PS3, Yoda on 360, and squat for Wii. (Fact is, companies are really not interested in the massive overhauls they'd need to do to the games on those platforms to get them to play on the Wii.)

Remember when I suggested that EVERY world should be featured in the Kingdom Hearts series at least once, from like every fictional thing ever devised? I seem to recall someone fervently shouting in a mad pitch that there's no way George Lucas would just do something like that. Well, doesn't seem so crazy now does it?

Yoda and Darth Vader in SCIV... is that cool or really stupid? I'm not sure... it is kind of stupid that they aren't both in both versions, though. I'd think the whole point would be to have them fight against eachother...

This whole thing honestly disgusts me. There's fan service, and then there is just appallingly bad cameos. Not saying Link or Spawn fit like a glove, but come on. Darth Vader? With a lightsaber? In SOUL CALIBUR.

My great respect for the series has dropped a gigantic amount.

Link fit a lot better than Spawn or Heihachi. I mean, at least he comes from a medieval-age world... they sure didn't. I don't think this is any worse than those two, really. It is pretty dumb though. I guess the best excuse is 'well Star Wars is a somewhat medieval-ish fantasy world in some ways', which is true, but doesn't really make this make any sense at all...

As for respect for the series... eh, nah, doesn't affect it much. It's not like they care at all about any kind of historical accuracy anyway, so why not just toss in sci-fi characters from some other universe too?
