To go along with theāœ… new animatedmovie coming out this summer, LucasArts has created two new Clone Wars games that have nothing to do with the crappy last-gen Clone Wars games.

Lightsaber Duels for the Wii and Jedi Alliance on the DS promise all kinds of motion control function and Alliance even has drop-in, drop-out co-op. Details are a bit scarce at the moment, but we've got the first two scrš†eens below and some info from our buddies at.

Words: Chris Hicks, CVG UK

Wii game 'Lightsabeš“ƒ²r Duels' is predictably a lightsaber battle šŸ’Ÿgame that uses the Wii Remote as a lightsaber.

Whilst it's not one-to-one control, LucasArts has promšŸ…°ised that your general movement will be mimicked on screen, providing thšŸŽe best Wii lightsaber experience yet.

You'll be able to participate in the most memorable duels from the animated movie and TV series, while taking control of several difšŸ’œferent characters each with their own fighting skills aź§’nd unique abilities.

Compaꦇratively, 'Jedi Alliance' for DS is a story-driven action adventure game that follows the characters from the TV show. It's fully stylus controlled, which somehow makes lightsaber combat more immersive. We're interested in how that works out.

In the game, players get to chose two Jedi from a line-up of six. One will be fully controlled by the player, with AI controlling the other. The pair will embark on a series of missions involving droids, Lightsaber wieldinšŸŒg enemies and minigames.

The chašŸƒracters have unique abilities too, and can be paired up to create different combinations to unlock new areas. Sounds a lot like LEGO Star Wars to us, but that's nota bad thing.
