Lucasarts has confirmed what every Star Wars fanboy/Nintendo fanboy/person in their right mind has been waiting for ever since the Wii Remote was first revealed: lightsaber action on the Wii!

Specifically, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will hit the Wii next spring alongside versions for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. According to LucasArts, players will get "the unique chance to live out their Jedi fantasies by wielding the Wii Remote as a lightsaber while using the Nunchuk controller to torment foes with their Force powers."

Additionally, the Wii version - which is being developed by Krome Studios - will offer up a 'duel mode' which will pit friends against each other for a spot of saber play.

"The Wii is a great platform for The Force Unleashed, because the console's motion-oriented controllers really bring the game to life," said Jim Ward, President of LucasArts in a bout of corporo-enthusiasm. "We've worked hard to make the Wii version of the game unique in order to truly let you unleash the Force."

The Force Unleashed, which takes place between episodes III and IV, sets players in the robes of Darth Vader's secret apprentice. Players will help the Big bad in his quest to destroy the remaining Jedi and, wait for it... "face decisions that could change the course of their destiny."
