While Nintendo is going out of their way to make the Nintendo Wii peripherals safer and less damaging, others are fashioning them to look like a light saber. Great.
UK Web store Play.com has this Wii Light Sword (£14.99), which is an attachment that makes the Wii Remote several times longer than it needs to be. Forget ceiling fans, televisions, and faces -- one of these in an eight-year-old Star Wars fan's hands could bring a destructive Force to be reckoned with.
In all seriousness, if Star Wars: The Force Unleashed plays like we all hope it does, then this Wii Light Sword would be a great fit. For now, there's Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, but that probably won't cut the mustard for most Star Wars fans wanting the true light sabering experience.

I want a purple one :) . Just like in the 2 and 3 movie, after I've seen it in the hands of Samuel L. Jackson, I played every SW game with purple lightsaber :) .
Is the wiimote IR or RF?
Don't want to send everyone's boner straight to hell, but looks like it might mess with the signal :o
I don't think we are supposed to use it for playing games though. It's just a (very fucking cool) novelty item.
WAGGLE!
WAGGLE!
WAGGLE!
sorry but that does not sound like fun to me.
lets face it guys, all the wiimote really is is just waggle. the star wars game will not mimic your swings. this prepherial suck as will the game
Btw, I don't think it should be supplied with the Star Wars sound effect. You can make your own sounds.
