LucasArts today announced Star Wars: The Clone Wars will blast its way onto the Wii and Nintendo DS in Holiday 2008. Bringing an entirely new look and feel to the galaxy far, far away, Star Wars: The Clone Wars combines the cinematic qualities of the Star Wars movies with state-of-the-art computer-generated imagery from artists at Lucasfilm Animation.

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels, in development by Krome Studios exclusively for the Wii, delivers fun-filled Lightsaber battles for the entire family while it immerses players in the characters, locations, and epic duels from the all-new Star Wars feature film. Built from the ground-up for the Wii, Lightsaber Duels features an intuitive motion-controlled combat system that puts the lightsaber weapon in your hand for non-stop fun.

* Fight the most memorable duels from The Clone Wars feature film.
* Wield your Wii Remote like a Lightsaber and experience first-hand the unique weapon of the Jedi knights with intuitive controls, so no matter what your gaming experience you can become a Lightsaber master.
* Play with your friends as your favorite Clone Wars hero or villain -- from familiar characters like Anakin Skywalker and General Grievous to new faces like Ahsoka Tano and Asajj Ventress -- each with a unique fighting style and set of skills.
* Exploit your interactive surroundings to defeat your opponent: slice down pillars and Force throw them against your foe.
* Duel your way through significant Clone Wars locations, such as Tatooine and Teth.

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance, developed exclusively for the Nintendo DS by the LucasArts Singapore team in conjunction with Lucasfilm Animation, lets gamers experience the awesome power when two Jedi join forces to fight as one. With an innovative stylus-based input, controlling the Jedi's movement and engaging in Lightsaber combat has never felt more immersive.

* Play through an original story -- exclusive to the Nintendo DS -- that expands The Clone Wars series in exciting new directions.
* Create your own Jedi dream teams by pairing Jedi Masters and Padawans. For example, team up Anakin Skywalker with Obi-Wan Kenobi, or Ahsoka Tano with Mace Windu.
* Develop the relationship between two Jedi and generate more powerful attacks and special abilities. Replay missions with different character combinations to unlock new areas, collectibles, and other secrets.
* Play with a friend using wireless drop-in/drop-out coop.
* Control all movement, Lightsaber combat and cinematic action sequences with just the DS stylus.

"Working on The Clone Wars chapter of the Star Wars Saga has been an exciting endeavor for everyone here at LucasArts," said Feargus Carroll, project lead for LucasArts Singapore. "The intuitive and accessible gameplay on both the Wii and the Nintendo DS complement one of the most exciting Star Wars adventures yet."

The world premiere trailer for the games will debut exclusively on Spike TV's "GameTrailers TV with Geoff Keighley" on Friday, June 20.

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

personally i think that the movie itself is just lucasarts trying to find something else do with their time since they blocked them selfs in with the end of the sixilogy (sorry, i have no idea what a series of six is called)considering its just a rehash of that cartoon series that lasted about 5 minutes each time:(. and the gameplay looks extermely similar to the revenge of the sith game. I apologize to some people if i seem rough, it's just how i look at things like this :D

im usually the first person to say a game is not good because it looks pretty, as most of my friends criticize some of my older games, but these characters were made to look like disproportional cartoons, to me this seems like someone intentionally downgraded the visual appeal of the game, i guess some people like the disproportional cartoony look.

each man for his own right.:)

the saber system sounds good, but the characters look terrible in my opinion, i know there trying to make it look like the cartoon serious but i prefer my games to look more realistic then that, and with technology the way it is with high quality games, eg. the force unleashed, i think they could do a little better then that, still i always say that with games graphics are not the most important thing.

Indeed.

I don't have a Wii, but odds are it will be like most tie in games. Sub par.

Incidentally I see its the same team who have ported TFU to the Wii.

You wake up earlier =P no fair!

From what i can see from the trailer, it looks like they're taking the saber system from TFU and making a clone wars game around it. In my opinion is gonna be very...flaily...not as much as percise or 1st personish as id like it.

surprisingly graphic looks very close to the actual movie...since they went with the animation style that did, works for the lower graphic systems
