Maybe only i Jap boxart. They usually get diff boxart. No Wii version? Or is it not coming to Wii??

There are a couple reasons. It's just a third party trend.

It's only the Japanese box art, but I think it's good to advertise such...appealing characters. The Star Wars series has a habit of making quite a bit of money, and is popular in many countries. Even if you hate the new characters, you have to admit that having Yoda or Darth Vader on the cover will attract quite a few more buyers.

Is Star Wars that popular in Japan?

I'm pretty sure Star Wars is popular in Japan. To what extent I don't know.

Maximus: To be honest, the difference in power between the platforms alienates a lot of developers. Not only that, but the Wiimote, well...let's be honest, it sucks for fighting games. See Soul Calibur: Legends if you want an idea of what it's like. A lot of games this generation are PS360 only, but we only focus on them because they're from large developers and they're more hyped.

 I disagree, on the wii we could have at least soul calibur 3 graphics (which let's be honest, are great and on sd don't need much improvement), heck, they could even reuse the engine of the gamecube's version

about the wiimote sucking for fighting games: of course it does: fighting game? make a gamecube or classical mandatory, most people have one,  and others would be willing to buy one for a good fighting game. It's not that because a game is on wii that jerking your controller should be mandatory..
