Wii Light Sword brings out the Skywalker in you

We knew it was just a matter of time before something like this happened, particularly with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed headed to the Wii next Spring, but it's good to see a lightsaber attachment come early.

Available to order now through Play.com, this third-party accessory sports a power up / down effect to get your saber a-glowin' (and dimmed back down), 22 ultra-bright LEDs and an on / off switch for good measure. The adornment relies on a trio of AA cells to stay lit, and while it isn't slated to ship until later this month, you can commence searching for an extra £14.99 ($31) right away.

loss of pointer functionality? even if rerouted how will the ir sensor sense anything but what the saber emits? guess i never played with the zelda sword so i have no experience with 3rd party add-on toys.
