Check out this G4 video footage of the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, where they show us duels using the Nintendo Wii and its unique Wii-mote controllers.

G4's reporter went as Luke Skywalker, duking it out in a TIE Fighter bay with Asajj Ventress There's saber-slashing and Force-choking galore, all arising from a pretty shrewd use of combinations and reverse moves in both controllers. It's not all lightning bolts and throws, either. Check out that old-school kick to the grill Luke delivers at the end.
The video says you'll get 9 different arenas and 27 characters to choose from, classics to the expanded universe. I know that LucasArts is promising exclusive gameplay for all consoles. But I had the two Jedi Knight games on Xbox, where lightsaber combat was a lot of button mashing and getting lucky. Honestly, if the purpose of this is to at last swing a lightsaber in 1:1 combat, then this is your baseline version.

I'm more excited for this game than anything, even Left 4 Dead, right now. If it delivers what it appears it will, this is going to be massive amounts of fun for anyone with a Wii.
