Wiimote lightsaber in Lego Star Wars is “brilliantly cool”

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga will be the first game to use the Wiimote as a lightsaber.

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.
