We normally wouldn’t report on plastic add-ons for your Wiimote but the Wii Light Sword is just too cool not to. Available now, it makes it just in time for you to get your Lego Star Wars on…and well in advance of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. The Wii Light Sword is lit by 22 LEDs, takes 3 AA batteries and even has a realistic bottom to top power up. It is currently available from Play.com for £14.99.

Wiimote lightsaber or online co-op? No competition. Meet the first cross-platform game of the current generation that I won’t choose the Xbox 360 version of…
Traveller’s Tales, the team behind Lego Star Wars, has labeled their Wiimote implementation in the upcoming Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga as “brilliantly cool.” The game will be the first to allow the Wiimote to be used as a lightsaber, beating LucasArts’ own The Force Unleashed to market.
Traveller’s Tales Games’ Richard Earl had this to say on the subject:
The Wii controller offers all sorts of new, fun and accessible ways for people to play with Lego characters - and swinging away with your lightsaber is a brilliantly cool part of the Lego Jedi experience.
When asked about the predicted success of the title, Earl responded with:
Of course we hope The Complete Saga can hit the Christmas number one spot, but there are many other strong titles on the horizon. We’ll have to wait and see.
