Star Wars: The Force Unleashed games added to Xbox One backwards compatibility list

Both titles in LucasArts' Star Wars: The Force Unleashed third-person action game series for the Xbox 360 can be played on the Xbox One via its backwards compatibility feature.

The announcement was again made on the Major Nelson Twitter account. Both games also happen to be on sale for just $4.99 each as part of this week's Deals with Gold program.

The first Star Wars: The Force Unleashed game, released in 2008, has the player controlling Darth Vader at first, and then his new and secret Sith apprentice Starkiller, during the period between the third and fourth Star Wars movies. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II was released in 2010, with the player controller a clone of Starkiller. Both games give the player a choice of going towards the light or dark side of the Force, with lots of light saber and Force combat.
