Get ready to wield your invisible lightsaber and use the force when Kinect Star Wars force pushes its way on to the Xbox 360 this winter. Kinect Star Wars will include different modes set throughout both of the Star Wars trilogies. "In the "Jedi Destiny" mode -- which will be showcased at E3 -- you play one of several new characters in a story that begins shortly after the events of Star Wars: Episode One -- The Phantom Menace and concludes against the backdrop of Chancellor Palpatine's rise to power on Star Wars: Episode Three -- Revenge of the Sith," said Entertainment Weekly.

You'll also travel to places like Bespin, the giant cloud city from The Empire Strikes Back, and fight against the evil Darth Vader. In Kinect Star Wars you'll get to use "use the Force" to lift or throw objects, and you'll also be able to use your hands to mimic driving a pod racer, firing the guns on an X-wing fighter, and yeah, wielding a lightsaber. The devs also mentioned there will be a voice component, perhaps Jedi Mind Tricks, but they haven't confirmed or denied those to be true.

"What we found early in development is that [no one wants] to look like 'Star Wars kid' in front of [their] friends," said Craig Derrick, LucasArts' lead producer on the project. "If I am doing these actions, and if I am seeing the character on screen repeating those actions, I want to look bad-ass. We decided to augment the animation, so when I sweep my hand right to left with my lightsaber, it’s going to look cool. That was a major challenge and it works."

Saw this one coming.
 
Only the hardest of the hardcore Star Wars fan will want this.

This is just my opinion. But this game looks worse than it did last year. And when Kudo was shown playing it, it didn't look very enjoyable. But I'm also not the biggest Star Wars fan. And they need to fix the lag.
 
The graphics aren't the best but it looks like a blast to play! This is what I was hoping for from a Kinect game. Although it does a look a little linear just from the demo. I'd rather have an open universe I can explore.
 
I agree, Dexterlablab1, they really need to fix the lag. It looked pretty horrible that he'd move his hand and the game would take like 3 seconds to react. Granted I haven't tried it, so it may not be that bad or it may be worse because we're only watching it.

And yet somehow this is EXACTLY what it looks like.

Personally, I'd just rather play a Star Wars game with a controller. "Press X to behead stormtrooper."

The force powers use looked really awkward and imprecise... I'll stick with the Force Unleashed's method.
 
I dunno, I might try it if they publish a demo on the Marketplace. It might be interesting to play, but from what I've seen it might not be. I hope it won't be like Kung Fu Panda, did anyone see that trailer? That kid looks like a bawss kicking it! You really should see that trailer, take a minute and lookup on Youtube if you haven't already. xD
 
I'd like to try it out. Not sure if I'll buy it, though.
