VG247 writes: One final video from the Microsoft Play Day: it’s Star Wars Kinect. There’s a minute-long video of the game from Terminal Reality, where you’ll be able to get “a lot of finesse” from challenges in the game for hardcore gamers playing it.
Celebrate 13 years of Kinect Star Wars — the game that let you dance as Han Solo and swing invisible lightsabers in your living room.
Kinect Star Wars, a groundbreaking game released in April 2012 for the Xbox 360, utilized the Kinect motion-sensing peripheral to plunge players into the heart of the Star Wars universe.
One of the worst things to happen to Star Wars was it being exclusive to Kinect when PS Move could have been a better version because of "buttons" per Kevin with better tracking. And the controller looking like a light saber hilt. Or, had an actual light saber game similar to the dojo in Vader Immortal.
But the miming lies on the Microsoft E3 stage was icing on the cake of this garage. Wasn't even live gameplay. Just bad acting. Nothing ground breaking about this travesty.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "This piece wasn’t meant to say that Star Wars‘ gaming future is ruined forever, nor that there isn’t a chance for a good AAA Star Wars game to come out in the near future. I need to reiterate that, yes, I’m looking forward to Jedi Fallen Order. Then again, as a massive Star Wars fan, like most of you I miss the days when we would get loads of titles a year, each one focused on one specific feature of the franchise. I’d rather have a slew of smaller Star Wars games being released every year, some good and some not as good, than one big generic title being released every two years. These are always at the risk of being criticized due to typical AAA practices like expensive season passes, cut content, or microtransactions. Had Disney allowed for anyone, especially mid-range developers and publishers, to bring their creative and risk-free ideas to life, I’m sure fans would have rejoiced. And Disney’s pockets would most certainly fill up faster than nowadays."

Sigh this looks so horrible.
You gotta love the lag....
Lucasarts Brainstorming Session:
How about we make a simple first person lightsaber duel game where you get to fight as Luke, Darth Vader etc?
-Hmmm, you mean something our fans have been dying to play since the inception of video games and that would work awesome with Wii, Move, and maybe even Kinect? No, that's too easy. Let's make some kind of horrible mix between Force Unleashed and The Clone Wars instead. Let's make it on-rails and aimed at kids, since most of the Star Wars fans are mostly adults by now. Yeah, we can't miss with that one...
S.I.G.H
SIGH
From 2007, the best year in the life cycle of the 360 to this?
If not for Forza 4 and Gears 3, 2011 would've been really disappointing.
