 not worth the money November 19, 2008

I got these light sabers for my small sons. They looked really cool and there were two in the package - a bargain? I have three problems with them:
1. The construction of this light saber does not completely mesh with the wii controller. Buttons are too easily activated - and we are talking buttons that you didn't want pressed! Frustration level can be high. Who wants to carefully use a light saber with the most controlled and lightest of touches when you are busy fighting the dark forces!
2. The craftsmanship is for the birds (but what these days aren't?) and after 2 weeks of usage by adults, it is cracking along the seams. Thankfully, I still have the receipt.
3. This is not a complaint against the light sabers but just a tip on their use. They work with Clone Wars and the like but no so much with the Lego, Complete Saga game. The original recipients of this item were my young kids but they were kind of useless for their G-Rated game. Although they LOVED to swing them around, it did not do much in the way of helping them in the game.
I am not sure about getting the higher priced ones since I hear they have problems too....
 Great for the true star wars fan November 17, 2008

Hard to find, new item for the WII star wars clones. I purchased this as a gift for my 7 yr. He loves it great for any star wars fan. Turn your WII remote into the true light sabor and it glows blue or red. Great value.

I bought these today and was very disappointed in the quality of this product.
This thing looks cool and that's the only good thing I can say about it.
First problem I had with this was that the sleeve that holds the Wii-mote is very snug fitting and you feel like you will break it when trying to get the Wii-mote in it.
Second is that light part of this thing fits loosely on top of the sleeve and feels like it'll fly off during play. There is a clip that holds the light down, but it still feels loose.
Last and biggest problem is that this item actually blocks communication with the Wii. When you swing the Wii-mote around, your character never responds. Once I removed this from the Wii-mote, I could play with no issues.
Save your money and avoid this garbage.

NOTE: This is a review of these sabers, NOT of the Clone Wars game.
I bought these along with the Clone Wars game at Gamestop. I really liked the look of them compared to those I saw at Sam's for more money (the shiny silver looked better than the flat white handles). I had some problems using it at first because I was often hitting unintended buttons on the remote while wielding the saber. This is not what disappointed me however.
The disappointment was that after about a half-hour of use, I felt a shift in the weight and when I looked, I noticed that the portion which holds the blade was splitting at the seam in the plastic. I feel lucky I hadn't yet put in the batteries because that likely would have caused the problem to happen sooner.
Luckily, I looked between the cardboard backing and found that there is a 120 day warranty and I will be returning them to go buy the less cool looking but apparently sturdier white handled sabers.
