Yes, the anticipated “Wii Lightsaber game” has been revealed. Unfortunately many will be let down with the announcement that the Wii lightsaber game Jim Ward eluded to is in fact Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, LucasArts announced last week.

While it is not the lightsaber game we were hoping for, it still gives us a taste of what wielding a lightsaber would be like on the Wii. Many of the controls will still be handled by pressing buttons, but they are given further enhancement with the motion control. Waggling the Wii remote will give you a basic lightsaber attack as well as deflecting blaster bolts.

This is a game that I have been anticipating for a long time to hear about and now here is finally some confirmation. While it is not a lot, its something and it would be a dream come true for Star Wars gamers.
