LucasArts is promising a whole month of excitement for Star Wars fans.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will be released on 16 September in the US, 17 September in Southeast Asia and Australia, and 19 September in Europe.

But April will see a whole host of Star Wars events to get wannabe Skywalkers excited about the new game.

From 6-13 April, Spike TV is going to show all six Star Wars movies as well as offering a glimpse into the new game.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy.

The game's story is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.

In it, players will assist Vader in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi - "and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny", says LucasArts.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will be available on the Xbox 360 and the PS3.
