In a recent interview from IGN.com there was a discovery of a new Wiimote battling game coming this fall. In the interview Ken Fox from LucasArts reviels that not only are you going to be using your Wii mote as a Lightsaber, you can also choose from any character (either good or bad).

IGN: Describe the gameplay in The Clone Wars. What exactly do you do? Is it a beat-'em-up? (Right now, we're picturing something like LEGO Star Wars. Please help us understand exactly the type of game you're making.)

Ken Fox: Clone Wars for the Wii is all about lightsaber dueling. It's about swinging your Wii remote like a Lightsaber and recreating what we know will be classic Lightsaber battles from the movie and the show. It's also about the character development that happens in Lightsaber Duels. We have one of the main writers from the movie and the series writing and all the voice talent from the series recording over 4000 lines of dialog for the game. So, when you as Obi-Wan versus General Grievous, they will say things to each other that they will never say to any other character. We think this is something that we've never seen in a game like this and is perfect for Star Wars and the Clone Wars franchise in particular.

IGN: You can play as different characters from The Clone Wars series, both good and bad. How does that work?

Ken Fox: In the story mode, where we are recreating the greatest Lightsaber battles from the movie and the series, you play through as the Jedi. But in the other modes of the game, challenge, multiplayer etc. you just pick your favorite character and go to town!

I personaly am excited. I know am not the only one looking forward to a game that you can use a lightsaber. That is also something the Ken Fox talks about in his interview. So we as gamers are not the only ones to have high expectations of this game. Ken knows that there has been a rumor of a lightsaber game coming to the Wii and he hopes that this is a game that dilvers as promises.
