Ever since Nintendo's Satoru Iwata revealed the Wii remote's motion-sensing capabilities, gamers have been clamoring for someone, anyone, to help realize their deepest nerd fantasy -- using the Wii's controller to act out the Star Wars Kid video.Now, for only £14.99 (approximately $31), you, too, can record an embarrassing video of yourself looking like a damn fool fighting imaginary Stormtroopers with your special moves. The peripheral uses three AA batteries (not included) to power its 22 LEDs, just like the lightsabers used by real-life fictional Jedi!
As lifelong fans of the original Star Wars Kid series, we can't begin to express how excited we are that someone is finally bringing some lightsaber action to the Wii. We're already making lightsaber sound effects at our desk while simulating a duel with our pens in anticipation. Swing past the break for a couple Star Wars Kid clips. Also, may the force be with you! May the force be with you all!

I really dig the brilliant design that reminds me of one of the franchises in pop culture i despise the most while simultaneously blocking the IR pointer of the remote... how... mature!

I think that this would really go great with a first person sword fighting game, like in the sword fighting mode of red steel. I guess that I'm getting one if a game like that comes out. (Can we get a game where we get to play as the star wars kid? Cause that would be awesome.)

Great idea - horrendous execution. What is that thing, like 6" long? It looks like a babysaber...
Or a lightdildo.
Seriously, even Yoda would chuck that thing in the trash, saying "Expect me to play with such a tiny weapon, do you?"
