Hot off the heals of announcing how many levels and secret levels are available, PGC reveals an infamous character you'll be able to play as.
DARTH VADER is a playable character. You heard it here first my friends. This feature was alluded to in the LucasArts/Factor 5 official chat several weeks ago, but we can now confirm it for sure. No details yet, but he is probably part of a secret bonus mission (which would be unlocked via medals). Never under estimate the power of the Dark Side. Word.
