While there are plenty of Star Wars titles already available for plenty of consoles, it seems as though the public desire for all things Rebellion v. Empire is unquenchable.

The next installment in the long line of Lucas franchise material comes at us by way of Force Unleashed for the Wii. Right. If you’re thinking what I’m thinking, then the answer to your question, yes. Yes, the Wii remote will have full lightsaber functionality. Nice. The nunchuk controller will serve as a useful tool to wield your badass Force powers. I’m personally looking forward to being able to shoot lightening bolts from my hands alla the Emperor in episode 6.

Jim Ward, President of LucasArts says, “The Wii is a great platform for The Force Unleashed, because the console’s motion-oriented controllers really bring the game to life. We have worked very hard to make the Wii version of the game unique in order to truly let you unleash the Force.”

But wait…all things Force-iness don’t stop there. While most probably done intentionally, perhaps LucasArts has let the cat out of the bag via the LEGO Indian Jones Hint Book. Rebelscum.com forum member ‘JayhawkJake’ writes:

“I just picked up the new LEGO Indiana Jones Hint Book and on the inside cover is an ad for a new LucasArts game for the Wii based on The Clone Wars series due out for Holiday 2008. It lists a website of www.clonewarsgame.com which directs you to StarWars.com right now.”

This quote comes in on the 29th of May. It seems as though LucasArts watches the industry news as well, and now has a landing page in place with the simple text:

“Check back at the end of this month to find out more”

The ad also indicates that the Star Wars: The Clone Wars game is heading to both the Wii and the Nintendo DS. Smells like yummy holiday fun to me!
