Finally. If it's possible to wield 2 lightsabers, I can die happy.

@(Unverified) good job Sony for not grabbing this exclusive. Your ps move is worthless without lightsabers.

I'd like to see ANY of these games previewed tomorrow. They all sound too good to be true and I'd really like to see how well Kinect FUNCTIONS.

"controllerless lightsaber dueling"
Honestly, I'd rather hold something in my hand.

Grab a broom and if your wife/girlfriend asks, "What in god's name are you doing," just tell her you wanted to clean the house but got distracted. Invite her to join in the fun.

What a twist!

I can get behind this. Playing a Kart racer without a controller though, not so much.

Even though I'm curious about how this will work, I need something in my hand to swing if I'm gonna play this. I don't wanna swing my arms and empty hands around. People may think I'm crazy!
The force powers sounds badass though!

I could dig this. Hopefully they release the trailer.

Hmmmmmmm...
I still can't get that video of that family just flailing around like a bunch or idiots while playing some sort of activity not qualifying as a game...
Sadly I hope that this this not the future.

So it's like playing Duke Nukem without a gun.

All the people that say Just grab an object forgot one important thing....IMMERSION. A game like this needs a wand like controler for gamers to get FEEDBACK from their Lightsaber Contacting another.
This game is better off on the Nintendo Wii or the PS MOVE in my book.

I just thought about this and I get the feeling some developers are going to start packing in/selling little doodads and dildos for their Kinect games.

Who needs peripherals when you can use a stick? That's whats great about Kinect. I just hope it plays well.
