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."

They are really making it!!! That's all the news I need to read tonight. Seriously, that's it for me. I'll wait as long as it takes.

This is huge. If a cheap plastic toy with crappy game can sell, I can't imagine what a polished game with solid controls will sell. People have been waiting decades for such a game.

My fear is that even if they release a quality game...it might not have exactly what everyone specifically wants, and it'll get shot down...I sure hope not.

Even if they just took KOTOR and added motion controls, it would be a lot more fun.

Starwars was made for Wii.

There could never be a more perfect pair.

This sounds great. It better be close to one to one movement. with motion gestures to use force. Crap this will be good.

hopefully, they'd include that zing zing sound to the wiimote... now, it just need a... strap on

Don't get overly excited, he may very well be talking about the Lego game.

Possibly.

I'll hope for a Jedi Knight 4 though, if you don't mind. ;)
