Star Wars: The Clone Wars

[Added Sep 29, 2008: Bought the Wii Force Unleashed on 2nd day of release from Best Buy. It even came with a special BB-only item: Force Unleashed T-Shirt. Sweet!]

Wii’s motion sensor controllers allow two players to replicate the moves of Jedis from the recent movie and upcoming CGI TV series. Developer Krome Studios worked with LucasArts and the creators of the CGI series to ensure the game experience remained authentic.

LucasFilm’s Singapore studio, which created “The Clone Wars” movie and TV series, was also responsible for the Nintendo DS game, “Star Wars The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance.”

“LucasFilm is telling ‘The Clone Wars‘ story in two different ways — through a linear, TV format, as well as through an interactive, handheld format,” said marketing manager Gavin Leung.

This collaboration across entertainment mediums allowed ideas to flow freely. Leung said a new battleship called the Devastation in the videogame will be incorporated into a future episode of the TV show.

Way to go!
