Making the rounds this weekend is a very, very tiny mention in an otherwise non-noteworthy mainstream press report about Wii that will probably be responsible for millions of Star Wars fan voices crying out in joy—LucasArts has apparently let slip that they are, in fact, working on a Wii lightsaber game.

The mention was made to Agence France-Presse, and is summarized thusly: "The head of the LucasArts, the game division for "Star Wars" series creator George Lucas, told AFP a Wii game that lets players wield virtual light sabers is on the horizon."

Is this a brand-new game? Or might they simply be talking about a feature of the Wii version of the already-announced LEGO Star Wars game? Time will tell.
