hat’s right! The lords of nerd are making the step from Star Wars to Soulcalibur. Darth Vader and Yoda will join the cast of fighters in Namco Bandai’s Soulcalibur IV. In a color-coding move that would make the Fab Five proud, PlayStation 3 owners will get to play as Darth Vader and Xbox 360 owners will have Yoda to flip around. This is an awesome announcement and maybe Star Wars can rid itself of the Masters of Teras Kasi skeleton in its closet.

Soulcalibur IV is headed to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in the second half of 2008.
