Star Wars The Clone Wars: Light Saber Duels

LucasArts have just revealed the Wii exclusive Star Wars title you've been hanging out for since the Wii's release. Star Wars The Clone Wars: Light Saber Duels, is based on the upcoming CG Star Wars flick, Star Wars: The Clone Wars (which takes place during Episode II and Episode III) and the Cartoon Network animated shorts of the same name, and was built, exclusively from the ground up, for Nintendo's motion-sensing system by Aussie developers, Krome Studios.

According to LucasArts, you'll be able to slice up parts of the environment and Force Throw them at your opponents as well as attack them with your Lightsaber in single-player or multiplayer (no info on how many players or if there will be an online mode yet). For more information (and a handful of screens), check out our Light Saber Duels game page.
You can also view the game's debut trailer right here.

Assuming the game doesn't end up totally sucking, it will be interesting to whether this can sell well as a third party Wii exclusive

Given that this is probably the game that all nerds dreamed of worldwide the nanosecond the Wii was announced you'd have to think so! I know it was the first thing I thought of. Hopefully they can indeed make it not suck.

I can only hope they include a dual-duel mode that lets you use two Wiimotes to dual-wield Lightsabers.

I don't think it needs to be said how awesome that'd be!

but then they'd release another "peripheral" plastic mold that let you strap the two together to make a saber staff, and would cost $40 :o

I've never seen an intern the entire time I've worked at Krome, I just don't think they take them on. Sorry, I don't like your chances.

Is it me or does the trailer just look like it's just a full game made out of the Wii-exclusive duel mode from Force Unleashed?

(Not saying that's a bad thing though!)
