Well, we all know there is only one guy whose opinion will truly matter on the issue =)

No chance. The award clearly belongs to Bobby Kotick.

He is right, though. I mean, let's be realistic. The Move IS practically already a laser saber, although not so long. I think in the Star Wars universe Move would be a "laser knife".

With the Move it could be free-moving and not on-rails, that's a win in my book

Clearly Move would be superior input device for a lightsaber, and with the navi probably better for having greater freedom of movement.

Kinect would be better for Force gesutures, natuarlly, although with the Eye Move could do an okay if not so good job here.

So, yes, Move would be better for Star Wars but he was a bit emotional and needlessly hostile.

I'm still waiting that to happen on the Wii dude.

And no, Force Unleashed doesn't count.

Naturally better with Kinect maybe, but not a great deal better IMO. I think "hold down "T" and thrust hand forward" would do a very effective Force push. "Hold down 'T' and 'Move button' button with Move upright' would do a very nice Force throat grab, then thrust Move in any direction and release T and Move button for a good old fashioned Force throw. Also hold down 'Move button' and slowly wave move from left to right would do a good jedi mind contol hand wave . You have seen the fireball throwing demo this guy has done with Move right?

Isn't it the case that Kinect can't reliably recognise fine motor gestures (finger movements and positions), so using the Move controller to do force gestures would be pretty much as good.

Perhaps the young lad is venting a bit of frustration that Sony don't have a light saber game yet?

We already know sword fighting can be done very satisfactorily with Move (Sports Champions) so there's certainly no technical reason why Move couldn't have a very satisfying Star Wars light saber game. And I'm sure an overall more satisfying game at that.

on the other hand, your new sig is damn better than the old one.

I agree, I really don't see how the Kinect version could be a better game unless it came with like a Mini-Lightsaber to use with Kinect, but...don't really see that happening. It kinda defeats the purpose of Kinect.

There are already homebrew demos of a "lightsaber" using Kinect on a PC.

It has the characteristic Kinect lag that many have already accepted as being normal, but the coder was using a mundane prop in his hands that looked and moved like a lightsaber on screen.

The problem is, you need the prop, which is not to say that they can't ship a piece of plastic with a Star Wars game or let you "scan" and use your own. It would be a better option than any empty handed pantomime sword swinging. Try doing a phantom base ball bat swing with nothing in your hands and you'll agree.

Regardless, I have no hopes for the Kinect Star Wars rail game that was demoed at E3. It seriously looked like an XBLA game, and not a good one at that.

And yes, I think it's only a matter of time before one is made for Move with controls that should be fairly difficult to screw up.

There is already a demo available of lightsaber combat with motion controls:
