Fellow Star Wars nerds and Wii owners… it’s time to geek out.

LucasArts announced today that they are currently developing a Wii version of their upcoming game, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. While the graphics won’t be as stellar as the 360 and PS3 versions, us Wii users get something that those guys don’t:

Duel Mode.

That’s right. In the Wii version an extra mode will be included that lets you have a lightsaber duel against another player (whether this can be online has yet to be said).

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Sept. 18, 2007 - LucasArts today revealed that Star Warsâ„¢: The Force Unleashedâ„¢ will come to the Wiiâ„¢ home videogame system from Nintendo next spring, offering owners the unique chance to live out their Jedi fantasies by wielding the Wii Remoteâ„¢ as a lightsaber while using the Nunchukâ„¢ controller to torment foes with their Forceâ„¢ powers.

The Force Unleashed casts players as Darth Vader’s “Secret Apprentice” and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The game’s expansive 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 - and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.

The Wii version, in development by Krome Studios, 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.”

I think I’m tearing up a bit…
