How the force got rigged?
2007 August 19
Well, kind of. Not to say Lucas Arts would do such a thing but the Lego Star Wars is coming to Wii and DS with new controls.
We’re very excited that this will be the very first time that players can brandish the wii-mote as if it were a lightsaber!

While immediately I get really effin excited, I take note of what I learned from previous adventures of port games. We will not know for sure until the game comes out, but don’t get your hopes up too high. We can only really hope for classic control intergration just in case. Make me proud Lucas Arts. Do us good.
Since the point of view of previous LEGO games has been third-person and sometimes 2D scrolling-like, I seriously doubt that a Wii-mote light saber analogy will work in this game! Also, in all previous Star Wars LEGO games the lightsaber moves have been pre-choreographed, so I don’t see how they would be able to switch to precise wii-mote/lightsaber control for this game…
