Aspiring Jedi Knights are getting their first taste of new video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

The plot takes place between Episode III and Episode IV of the epic film franchise.

For those unfamiliar with the Star Wars universe, that means the game features a cast of Wookies, Jedi and heavy-breathing icon Darth Vader.

Fans who can't wait to cross lightsabres with the dark lord will have to wait until September to get their hands on the game.
