This Entertainment Weekly video interview with Rodriguez, Clone Wars TV series director Dave Filoni and George Lucas, as well as members of both the DS and Wii dev teams, features a little bit of excellent-looking footage of the Wii game. According to Krome's Robert Walsh, the Wii game is designed to allow players to replay experiences from the TV show.
LucasArts' goal of a totally convergent game/show experience is cool, but it's kind of a shame that they're spreading those particular character designs across so many screens.

Hmm, I dunno about this one. I guess I should reserve judgment until it comes out. But still, it doesn't use MotionPlus, so now it just seems like it will be a let down.

Agreed. I'd imagine Motion+ would add a lot to realism that I suppose won't really be there. I guess we'll be stuck with a glorified motion d-pad.

It is dumb they keep pluging clone wars. I mean .....really how many times can this time frame be visted. I much prefer the animted clone wars anyway, had a better feel then this CG crap.
With that said, Unleashed looks like what the doctor ordered when it comes to evil badassery

I just wish they would stop all this clone wars BS. I much prefer the darker angles that unleashed looks to tap.

Do we know this won't use Motion+?
I thought I saw at E3 that LucasArts specified Clone Wars for the Wii would release "Holiday" '08? It was originally scheduled for an August release I think.
Could it be they pushed it to add Motion+ ability to it?

I'm really down on Clone Wars because they're giving Anakin a fucking apprentice
The Clone Wars were very, very big, and many more interesting stories could be told.
That being said: It's star wars, i'll have to watch it. Though i probably won't play it (the duo of upcoming Sonic titles, and Wario, will have my full attention)

Since MotionPlus was first announced, I've heard people say that it should be applied to almost every game out there. While for a lot of those games MotionPlus wouldn't really add to the experience, I don't think there is any doubt that this game would benefit greatly.
It would be really cool if they could program in MotionPlus support even if the actual peripheral isn't released until early next year.
