I suggest a new strategy, R2: Let them have a Kinect Star Wars demo
We can understand why you may be a bit hesitant to take our verdict on Kinect Star Wars as gospel.

Kinect Star Wars review: Needs Force feedback
Let's just get this out of the way: in its current state, the Kinect can't deliver a true lightsaber experience.

Kinect: Star Wars trailer is cute in an awkward, bumbling kind of way
Imagine Obi Wan Kenobi not as Jedi master, but a guy working the cash register down at the Gas 'n Gulp. Rather than wielding an elegant weapon for a more civilized age and being a princess's only hope, he's closer to the idiot in the Kinect: Star Wars trailer above....

A little known fact about the Padawan training program is that it includes an intense, three-month course on dance. Think about it: dueling with lightsabers is basically dance fighting. Right? That's why the ESRB rating for Kinect: Star Wars didn't really throw us. The promised "dance tourna...
