CheatCC - Long ago, in this very galaxy, the Star Wars Kid became one of the first YouTube celebrities when he was filmed pretending to fight with a lightsaber. People may have mocked the poor lad, but many gamers knew the truth deep in their hearts: it would be pretty darn cool to be able to play a video game with quality motion-controlled lightsaber combat.
Kinect Star Wars, a groundbreaking game released in April 2012 for the Xbox 360, utilized the Kinect motion-sensing peripheral to plunge players into the heart of the Star Wars universe.
One of the worst things to happen to Star Wars was it being exclusive to Kinect when PS Move could have been a better version because of "buttons" per Kevin with better tracking. And the controller looking like a light saber hilt. Or, had an actual light saber game similar to the dojo in Vader Immortal.
But the miming lies on the Microsoft E3 stage was icing on the cake of this garage. Wasn't even live gameplay. Just bad acting. Nothing ground breaking about this travesty.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "This piece wasn’t meant to say that Star Wars‘ gaming future is ruined forever, nor that there isn’t a chance for a good AAA Star Wars game to come out in the near future. I need to reiterate that, yes, I’m looking forward to Jedi Fallen Order. Then again, as a massive Star Wars fan, like most of you I miss the days when we would get loads of titles a year, each one focused on one specific feature of the franchise. I’d rather have a slew of smaller Star Wars games being released every year, some good and some not as good, than one big generic title being released every two years. These are always at the risk of being criticized due to typical AAA practices like expensive season passes, cut content, or microtransactions. Had Disney allowed for anyone, especially mid-range developers and publishers, to bring their creative and risk-free ideas to life, I’m sure fans would have rejoiced. And Disney’s pockets would most certainly fill up faster than nowadays."

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Kinect Star Wars gave me the opportunity to witness Darth Vader and the Emperor dancing to Deadmau5's "Ghosts n' Stuff" like a couple of teenage ravers on ecstasy. That's the best thing I never thought I'd ever see in my life."
lol I remember this. Almost as much of an embarrassment as the Star Wars Holiday Special
Does any one sincerely want this game??
@below
Im also a big Star Wars fan, but thats the reason i've been so disappointed in what ive seen this far..... If it turns out to be an amazing interactive star wars experience, ill gladly eat my words,and purchase it
Glad we finally get a legit preview. The games controls have seemingly gotten 100% better since E3. It's going to be a great selling game and I think that scares some of the fanboys here. There worst nightmare is Kinect games selling well.
Notice how PS3 fans stayed out of the Kinect Sports, Dance Central article that pointed out how well those games sold respectively? Ya..
So's this shite.
As much as i like starwars. This game looks terrible with kinect. Cant wait for The Old Republic which should be a blast to play.
Star wars fans are sheep. I dropped a deuce that is the spitting image of Vader, $50 is all I'm asking for.
