I'm sure that Darth Vader and Yoda also helped.
I'll wait for Vader to become available on the 360 before I consider a purchase. Otherwise it can wait for my PS3 purchase either next year or in 2010 depending on the games and prices.
of course it did! The UK gaming public love nothing more than games featuring scantily clad ladies with bouncing puppies.
