If you remember just the other week, the Internet was full of chatter regarding the statement from Jim Ward of LucasArts that they were already having a blast with the prototype of a Wii lightsaber game they had a chance to play. If you also recall, we were a bit hesitant to get too excited about it, since we knew they could very well be talking about the upcoming LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga game.
Sadly, this looks to be the case. Dashed are the short-term hopes of Star Wars fans everywhere. The LEGO Star Wars games are great, and you'll never hear me say otherwise. However, saying that we wanted a new Star Wars game a little bit more like what we've seen in Force Unleashed, and a little bit less than LEGO Star Wars is one of the great understatements of the century.
This doesn't mean that such a game isn't in the works, but it doesn't look to be soon -- unless LucasArts sucker punches us at E3 with something that states otherwise. The good news is that you'll still be able to waggle that Wiimote and enjoy a little lightsaber action on your Nintendo console. The bad news is that much like when Link from the Zelda games went all cell-shaded on us -- the end product might have ended up great, but we all couldn't help but wonder about what might've been.

Cause you know, it's kind of hard to have a "prototype of a Wii lightsaber game they were working on." that isn't developed by Lucas Arts, but by Traveller's Tales.
Gamespy has a preview of the Wii version, and they enjoyed it quite a bit. I've played both on the PC, but I'll probably still get this on Wii for when the kiddo is a bit older.
I prefer to think of it as the Dtoid Vader ;-)
plus, they wont give me a sequel to Gladius, so they can go suck it.
Remember when we all looked at the Wiimote and dreamed of all the amazing things developers were going to be able to do with the Wiimote?
WTF happened? we have gotten shit so far with absolutley NOTHING too look forward as far as innovation. I want to be mad at Nintendo because I sat in a line for 29 hours on launch only to get paltry 2 weeks of gaming out of it. But its the devs that are failing us, but hey, us gamers don't matter anymore, the kids eat this shit up. because after all, the Wii really is a kiddie console, right?
fits my needs as a gamer
I'm cool
star wars sucks
teh end
...
Well...
...
I'll just be very sad, I guess.
At least that way people would have the opportunity to see firsthand that the concept wouldn't work as well as it sounds.
What is this about? We did find out what "might've been." It was called Twilight Princess and it was a hollow shell of what The Wind Waker was.
It does need more games and less minigames, but hey, compared to the gamecube, it's doing great!!!
And compared to everything else for that matter.
The little crybabies who are disappointed can just shut the fuck up.
If Lair got delayed, you fucking So-need-a-life fanboys would say some stupid shit like "Great! More time to make it Better!"
or something like that.
But no, when it's the Wii, or the 360, you just gotta hate.
Fuck you. Keep your P.O.S.3 and don't forget it's the 3rd rendition of shit, not the first and portable, not even the 2nd, but the 3rd piece of shit you bought from Sony. Or should I say Phony.
ahahaha =(
