Get your lightsaber away from my Wii

Sorry Skywalker wannabes, it appears as if LucasArts is shooting down the near-future appearance of a lightsaber-only Wii game. Here’s the letdown according to Game Informer by way of TheForce.Net:

… But what about the Wii?! Well, when they asked a LucasArts rep about that, the response was, “even if that version does happen, it probably wouldn’t be ‘the lightsaber game’ that gamers have eagerly been awaiting.”

But if the Wiimote can’t do exact movements anyway for lightsaber swordplay, then would you even care about such a game?
