Granted, these are being released in conjunction with Star Wars - The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes, which has no MotionPlus support that we're aware of, but come on! Any lightsaber accessory should have an extra slot for MotionPlus. We don't care if LucasArts ever makes another lightsaber game or not. Hell, we'll pick up Red Steel 2 and just pretend we're using a lightsaber. At least, we would, if these accessories supported MotionPlus.
Oh, the Clone Trooper blaster also comes with stickers.
Update: We've confirmed with BDA that neither Republic Heroes nor its accessories support MotionPlus.

It's about time. Seriously, people have been asking for a lightsaber-style Wii game since the console was first introduced, and this is the first step towards that game.
Well, as long as there's enough room for the Wii MotionPlus. I would totally use this for WiiSports Resort's swordfighting.

Amen, Fister...how the hell did it take this long to get an attachable light-saber on that thing?!

Who are you counting with? General Grievous?

There's nothing new here. Only that now it's "Officially licensed"
