Show off your saber with new Star Wars Wii accessories

Recommended Videos

You know, sometimes you just need a reason to swing a lightsaber around in the privacy of your own home. You could get the light-up kind from your local toy store, of course, but why do that when you can stick a Wiimote in one and actually use it to play games? It’s sheer brilliance, I tell you. Everyone needs one of these.

Designed for use with the upcoming Clone Wars: Republic Heroes, both the lightsaber and the Clone Trooper Blaster will be coming out in the near future. The blaster comes with a decal sheet that you can decorate it with if you want to go for that “personalized” look. These are officially licensd products, which means any fanatic Star Wars completionist may want to have them, but I think I’ll just stick with swinging my Wiimote around and imagining that I’m Luke Skywalker battling my way out to Tosche’s station for those power converters.
