LucasArts has revealed that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will be heading onto the Wii next spring. The Wii version will give all aspiring Jedi the chance to live out their Jedi fantasies by wielding the Wii Remote as a lightsaber while using the Nunchuk controller to torment foes with their Force powers. Now that's something that should appeal to StarWars fans and another reason why the Wii controller is just such a cool device.

In the game players are cast as  Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and StarWars fans can ecxpect a few surprises and  new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The game's story is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi .

Krome Studios are behind the development of the Wii port which will also add an exclusive duel mode in which players can compete head-to-head with their friends to determine the ultimate Jedi Master.

"The Wii is a great platform for The Force Unleashed, because the console's motion-oriented controllers really bring the game to life," said Jim Ward, President of LucasArts. "We've worked hard to make the Wii version of the game unique in order to truly let you unleash the Force."
