Do you wile away the hours, dreaming of a Wii Star Wars game? Oh, the fun that could be had with your Wiimote lightsaber, swinging back and forth, stabbing and thrusting, and the beautiful sounds emanating from the controller. Maybe you don't spend Saturday afternoons that way, but one Go Nintendo reader did, and he decided to make his vision a reality ... or at least, a reality on YouTube. Unfortunately, we're without a Star Wars game at this time. Check out the fan-made notion of what could be after the jump.Fan cooks up Wii Star Wars simulation

Let's not kid ourselves.
The graphics on a Wii game with that detailed of controls would NEVER look that good.

PS: The move where he pulls the Wiimote and Nunchuck apart (move #4) looks like it's basically designed to snap the cord between the two. BAD IDEA.

I'm Nintendo is smart, they will work something out with Lucas to produce a Star Wars game for the Wii. I am pretty confident they are working on a Star Wars title.

He shouldn't have used that footage, pushing junk and making shockwaves is far from the reason everyone wants a Wii Star Wars game, everyone just wants to swing a dang LIGHTSABER!

Why Not?
I belive the company that holds the Star Wars licence has no interest in devolping games for the Wii. Sad but true.

Hmm... wasn't there already a Star Wars arcade game with a fake lightsaber controller? It was pretty awful.
Anyway, I don't see how game balance can be maintained, here. Big, powerful moves, no mêlée, multiplayer would be impossible... It wouldn't be much of a game unless there was a limit to how much "force" you could use in a given time frame.
Besides, if being a Jedi was all about throwing things around, why did they have so many lightsaber battles in the movie? Yet another concept that looks cool in a demo, but probably wouldn't work well in practice.

Actually, that footage is from E3. It was meant to show of LucasArts' new physics and real-substance engines they are going to be using in their next gen games. There's already been an announcement of a Star Wars game in production (shown), and a Indiana Jones game in production (Indiana Jones 4 anyone?). Hope this answers some questions.

im not criticizing or joining it and i like star wars but not exactly play and love it i like that you can do those moves its just i would like it to be more than just a lightsaber and jedi game how about like a RPG maybe add a little oomph with guns and stuff like that choose your path stuff you know what i mean
anyway its just what i think because the ones they made with role playing games and choose your path is great but add stuff because i dont want to be a jedi i want to join the jedis and fight with them as a team not become one be like their infantry and things like if you know what i mean its a little blurry what im saying but if you understand it good.
please reply E7LI0TT

I have to say I enjoyed the clip but, come on! All that trouble he went to and he didn't demonstrate the one freaking thing we've all been waiting for???
A simple slash of the wii-mote coupled with sound effects is all he needed to add.
Talk about missing the boat.
