A great blog I read, Hack-n-Mod, has an article posted about a cool hack for the console’s exterior – a Star Wars themed Wii case mod!

Here’s a video of the mod:

Amazon has LEGO STAR WARS:  THE COMPLETE SAGA on sale for $19.99 right now.  Grab yours quick!

Amazon has Lego Star Wars:  The Complete Saga right now for $19.99.  It’s preorder, and being shipped October 22, 2008.  If you’ve played ANY of these Lego series games, you know how much fun they are.  My co-editor just ordered ours.  Go get yours!

For those of you that now have Lego Indiana Jones for Wii – you might have seen the advertisement on the backs of instructional booklets about Star Wars: Clone Wars Wii. LucasArts and producer Ken Fox have been talking about the game and the lightsaber action – what is apparent is that the game won’t be a lightsaber ‘simulator,’ per se, but as the player moves the wiimote from side to side, so will the lightsaber in the character’s hand.

When asked about the usage of the light saber in the upcoming game, Ken Fox explained:

” I wouldn’t describe what we’re doing as one-to-one in the way that you might picture, but we really tried to make it feel like you get to swing your Lightsaber ‘manually’. In short, it feels like the most natural and convincing sword type experience I’ve had on the Wii. And on top of that, it not just a sword, it’s a lightsaber.”

On the Nunchuk, the analogue stick will move the character around, and the buttons will allow the palyer to force, block, and dodge attacks and hits.

Look for Star Wars: Clone Wars coming in the fall from LucasArts.

Have you gotten any of the Star Wars themed Wii games yet? We’ve found Lego Star Wars, the Complete Saga (which we love, by the way), and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

And for those of you who haven’t heard or seen this accessory, check out the Wii Glo Sword. This thing comes in four colors (so far!), check it out!
