I think Lucasarts should make a really shallow game in terms of story/objectives and just focus entirely on getting Wii remote action to work like lightsabers.
All the game would be is a small number of battle arenas in which you would be able to move about, and of course an enemy or two (vader of course) to fight against.....hell if it worked well enough people would be buying this faster than any previous star wars game.

Oh and of course, online 1 on 1 battles.

I could see how it could work perfectly for everything.... except blocking.

Since a blocking motion would need the IR to see where on the screen you want to block.

The Slashing already works fine,  Stabbing could be done by pointing and thrusting.  Blocking would have to be done with something like pointing and holding B.

Use numchuck to move, C and Z to cycle through force powers,  A to activate force powers.

Looking around would prove troublesome though unless you did a 2-D game with a step system for movement where you would be "Locked on" and fight only 1 on 1 duels..


I would even argue there is little need for the nunchuck, rather than doing the movement you could let the game do it for you like in Wii tennis... or maybe just simple sidestep/back forth movements with the d-pad (camera always locked onto enemy)
That could work really well in my opinion. The d-pad is easy enough to navigate whilst still swinging as long as there is no need for the A button.

Also i don't understand why blcking would need the IR sensor...i assume you mean blocking using a lightsaber, which would just work by where you put the remote....you block by merely putting the Wii remote in a position that would block the swipe from the enemy lightsaber.

 

Force powers however complicate things....maybe this game should have a simple...Wiimote only part where you have limited movement over body but unlimited lightsaber action....then you could press the B-button to turn off the lightsaber, and use the IR pointer and the A button to perform things with The Force. (oh btw this game is 3rd person...i don't think 1st person sword action will work well because of the limited viewing angle)
The same disc could have a seperate game to it (maybe a quest) where you use the nunchuck as well, and the lightsaber movement is not 1:1, but done in a similar way to Red Steel (i never played it btw) except in 3rd person, so you could do horizontal/vertical/diagonal slashes, stabs...and also parry attacks by holding a button then holding Wii remote either horizontal or vertical.....
So this would be like a single player adventure/action game in which you get to move about and do objectives etc....but what the game focuses on is the duels with CPU opponents, or else online against someone real.
