Visitors to GameCity, Nottingham's forthcoming game festival, are to be the first in the world get their hands on the Wii lightsaber, in LucasArts’ Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, re-mastered and shown in glorious HD.

Fans have longed for the day when they could fight their own lightsaber duels. Now, thanks to the Wii’s motion-sensitive controller, The Complete Saga will finally make that fantasy a reality, allowing players to battle with thrusts and slices of the Remote.

GameCity will give fans the first in the world opportunity to see and try the lightsaber first-hand in a worldwide exclusive premier of Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga for Wii.

This global premier is part of GameCity’s Play The Force – a celebration of the rich heritage that games share with the Star Wars phenomenon.

The 26th October is Star Wars day at GameCity. The festival will welcome Jonathan Smith, of developer Travellers Tales and visionary behind the Lego Star Wars, which has brought all six films to life with the tiny, clunky charisma only Lego can bring.

Presenting the complete saga of the games’ development, and explaining the secret behind their prodigious success, this session will be an exceptional opportunity to see behind the scenes of the popular game.
