If you’re like us, a fan of both Star Wars and video games, then it’s probable that you’ve gotten excited about the prospect of a lightsaber game that’s actually good. Think about it; one-to-one motion replication, usable force powers with a secondary controller, the ability to play as Jedi or Sith, and possibly even multiplayer duels? What’s not to like?
Wii developers have had plenty of time to design such a game. Sadly, the closest thing we’ve gotten was the Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels title.
In a recent interview conducted by MCV, LucasArts CEO Darrell Rodriguez discussed the possibility of a lightsaber title being developed for use with Sony’s Move, Microsoft’s Natal, and, strangely enough, the iPad.
“I’m very excited by the new interfaces, either Natal, Move or iPad. It’s something we’re definitely watching and we will consider in the future. The regular suggestion of a lightsaber game is one of the reasons why we are excited about it – but we’ll keep looking at it and see what we can do. No commitment to talk about now, though.”
While it’s a far cry from an official confirmation, it’s nice to know that the idea at least has a pulse.
