Heres a small snippet -

In response to a question from session moderator N' Gai Croal of Newsweek asking: " What would it take to make a lightsaber game for the Wii?" , Ward, who is President of LucasArts and a Senior VP at Lucasfilm, commented:

" We’re all over that, and internally we have already played a lightsaber game on the Wii. It’s a lot of fun, and we’ll get there."

He added that the whole concept of a title using a lightsaber of Nintendo Wii was " ...in place! There’ll be some stuff out this Fall - it’s going to be a lot of fun."

I haven' t had much to talk about on the Wii of late() but the announcement of this and a few other newly announced exclusive titles (like Dragonblade, some fire fighting game and one or two others) makes me believe it won' t be to much longer till the Wii gets itself out of ps2 port hell. A lightsabre game and Wii is just a match made in heaven and news of a game from Lucasarts is definately news i have been waiting for!! As long as they can nail the motion controls, imean controling the Sabre and Blaster with the Wiimote just seems so right.

If they get everything right with this game its gonna be a Wii AAA exclusive even if it makes its way to other consoles. Can' t wait till i find out more.
