I Should Be More Excited About a Wii Lightsaber Game
LucasArts has finally gotten off their collective asses and will be bringing out a lightsaber dueling game for the Wii, just like everyone has been wanting since we first saw the Wii-motes (there’ll be a Nintendo DS version too, but I don’t give a shit). But, since Lucas can’t just give the people what they want, it’s a Clone Wars game?as in the upcoming cartoon, with its freaky, sub-Genndy Tartakovsky designs?although I’ll be shocked if Luke isn’t an unlockable character or something. What, what am I saying? That’s what we, the star wars fans want and expect?there’s literally a 1 in a 100 chance he’ll be in there.
