RUMOR: Lightsaber game for Wii “on the horizon”?

A recent piece on FIN24 that detailed the Nintendo Wii’s current dominance of the video game console market included a little tidbit that could possibly give Star Wars fans experiences that end in “-gasm”. That is, if it turns out to be true. Anyway, the piece included this snippet:

The head of the LucasArts, the game division for “Star Wars” series creator George Lucas, told AFP a Wii game that lets players wield virtual light sabers is on the horizon.

Emphasis in the quote above is ours. Fans have been clamoring for a motion-sensing Star Wars game for some time now, and while a 1:1 on-screen reproduction of a player’s swings and thrusts of the Wiimote might be too much to ask for, we’re certainly very interested in seeing how this supposed new game performs.

No names were mentioned apart from “head of the LucasArts”, so for now, file this under the rumors section and enjoy the fan-made video below. Hey, if LucasArts can pump out a Wii game that has half the coolness factor of this vid, we’ll be the first in line to get it.
