Darth Vader In Soul Calibur 4

This is one of those "easter-eggs", those things you normally wouldn't expect to see, especially in a game like Sould Calibur. But the image proves otherwise - and it wasn't photoshopped! Apperently, Darth Vader himself is going to show up in the game and use his red-laser sword. Namco Bandai, the maker of the game, has announced that Soul Calibur IV will have Darth Vader and Yoda from Star Wars as playable characters. We're wondering at the moment - why only these 2 characters? There are many others from the Star Wars universe that could very well fit in this game. It's going to be Light Sabers against Soul Edges - so obviously the gamers want to see the out come of that.

We can guess that additional characters and other cool features will be added as paid downloadable content, and thus we might see characters like Luke Skywalker and Darth Maul (yes, the one with the red face and the ugly teeth in the image below) in laser-blade fighting action.
