LucasArts' upcoming Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels for the Wii is one step closer to the fan-requested lightsaber-dueling game that seems like a perfect fit for the motion-controlled console. The game is based on the film of the same name, which is part of a lengthy daisy chain of content that includes a forthcoming CG television show. The core of the multimedia blitz is a story that follows Obi-Wan Kenobi and pre-Padme-freak-out Anakin Skywalker, aka Darth Vader, as they fight against the evil Sith and the separatist forces. For those keeping your timelines in order at home, the movie, television series, and game all take place between Episodes II and III. We recently had the chance to get an updated look at the game at LucasArts' offices.

As we mentioned in our last look at the game, the core of the action in The Clone Wars is fighting. The game's structure is a linear run through a variety of locales taken from the movie, in which you'll fight familiar faces from the Star Wars universe. The fighting is wrapped in a storyline penned by writers from the film and upcoming television series, and it follows the basic plot of the film. In a nutshell, Anakin and company are on the hunt for Jabba the Hutt's son, who has been kidnapped. Besides looking for the mini-Hutt, the Jedi are obviously keen to bring his abductors to justice. But, like everything about the Clone Wars, there are more sinister forces in play than anyone realizes.
