Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels is a video game for the Wii focused on lightsaber combat. The game was developed by Krome Studios and released on November 11, 2008. It is based upon the Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie and TV series. It is also meant to have a similar feel to the TV series, as if the player is controlling the TV show.[2] Producer Ken Fox stated that "It's not a Lightsaber simulator, but when you swing your Wii remote left to right; your character does the same,"[2]. The game can be played with up to two players, however the game cannot be played online.

• Duel your way through significant Clone Wars locations, such as Tatooine and Teth.
LevelsEdit
The game features 7 levels from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars as well as the TV episodes Duel of the Droids, Cloak of Darkness and Destroy Malevolence. The duels are in the order the episode was made, not aired. And not all of the lightsaber duels from the series are seen, as Season 1 was still making episodes, so as not to give away all of the newer lightsabers fights, they did not put in the one from Lair of Grievous and The Hidden Enemy, although Kit Fisto and Grievous are both playable characters in the game.
Teth Castle DungeonEdit
The duel between Anakin Skywalker and Asajj Ventress that was deleted from the final draft of the film Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Unlike in the scene from the movie, the rancor was barely in the duel, and intermission in the duel was different.
Teth Castle RampartsEdit
The duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Asajj Ventress from the The Clone Wars film. At the end Asajj is crushed by rocks instead of escaping on a Vulture Droid.
Tatooine Dune SeaEdit
The duel between Dooku and Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine from The Clone Wars film. However, at the end, instead of Anakin leaving on Dooku's speeder, Anakin knocks him into the Sarlacc Pit stating, "That's a better fate than you deserve Count."
Separatist Listening PostEdit
The duel between Ahsoka Tano and General Grievous from the episode Duel of the Droids but it was outside the station instead of inside the station like in the episode. Also, in round 2 of the fight, R2 and R3 can be seen battling.
The TranquilityEdit
A duel between Ahsoka Tano and Asajj Ventress aboard the Tranquility from the episode Cloak of Darkness. A difference though, is that Luminara Unduli never appears and the second part of the fight, Ahsoka and Ventress go to the ruins of the Tranquility.
The NegotiatorEdit
The duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Count Dooku based during the episode Shadow of Malevolence. In the level, while Anakin Skywalker and his forces fight the Malevolence, Dooku attacks Obi-Wan's ship and attacks Kenobi. After a long duel, Obi-Wan defeats Dooku, but is forced to leave the clone troopers to watch Dooku as he goes with Anakin to fight the Malevolence. Dooku kills the clones and escapes.
The MalevolenceEdit
The duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and General Grievous from the episode Destroy Malevolence. At the end, Grievous is knocked off of the train instead of Obi Wan jumping off onto another train.
Separatist Droid LabEdit
The Separatists create a series of EG-5 Jedi Hunter droids to fight the Jedi. The Jedi council sends Anakin Skywalker to prevent the droids from becoming on line. He fights one of the EG-5 droid's. The droid is powerful, but Anakin's skill with a lightsaber outmatch the droid's and the droid is defeated.
Battle ModeEdit
Battle mode is a single player mode where you pick a character, and your opponent and environment are randomly selected. There are no rules about who your opponent is, as they can be on your side, or even yourself! Like in the campaign mode, you win when you win 2/3 matches. You can also choose the difficulty level. When you win a certain number of matches, you are awarded a new costume, no matter what difficulty level.

Behind the scenesEdit
If the player should choose to play Plo Koon against Plo Koon, one of the Jedi can be heard saying "This is Master Filoni's dream come true." This is a reference to the director of The Clone Wars TV series, Dave Filoni, who has stated that Plo Koon was his favorite Jedi.
