They made a star wars duelling game… and instead of adapting the duels everyone likes they decided to do the ones from the CLONE WARS MOVIE!
There are good ideas with the gameplay but this is the sort of game that needs to have incredible gameplay considering that there’s little to appeal outside of that, and it’s one or two drafts away from being polished but as it stands this game is cool to play with friends and nothing else.

I don't like abandoning games with a campaign because I want to finish the story then judge the game. That would be like watching a movie halfway and then reviewing it not knowing if the end has a redeeming pay off. But this one I had to. First off, this is an excellent idea. This game would take the idea of motion controls of the Wii and have the concept of controlling a lightsaber with the Wii remote. But the way they executed it was pretty bad. First off, it's way too hard to control. There were countless times where I was swinging the remote and nothing would happen. I would also hit the buttons to dodge and block but nothing would happen. It also had an awful idea for a campaign. I get the whole point of this game is lightsaber duels, but the campaign didn't have to be completely lightsaber duels and cutscenes. At least have some story to it instead of a loop of free play battles with awful Clone Wars cutscenes. I think the game could've been better if there was a story with the campaign and you could walk around a world and swing the lightsaber to attack enemies and then there were duels for attacking the bosses, and instead of making it completely centered around Clone Wars they could have all the Star Wars characters that used lightsabers at the time of it's release. Keep free play and the other modes too and also fix the mechanics and controls to make them a lot smoother. This was pretty disappointing and I think I have good reason to abandon it.
