Star Wars Kinect Game May Have More Than Saber Rattling

LucasArts hasn't been talking much about its upcoming Kinect-enabled Star Wars game since Microsoft revealed it at last E3. The game, which was shown at the company's Cirque Du Soleil event, featured a Jedi landing on a planet's surface and then using the force and his lightsaber to annihilate a group of stormtroopers. The demo ended with a face-to-face confrontation with Darth Vader himself. That alone looked pretty interesting, but it looks as though there's more to the experience.

According to Kotaku, a survey has been circulating that contains previously unannounced details of the game. In addition to the on-the-ground combat, it looks as though players will be able to hop into the seat of a Pod Racer and steer it with a make-believe steering wheel. Another part has players stepping into the leathery skin of a Rancor and stomping enemies.

In November, Kinect's creative director Kudo Tsunoda told the BBC that the game was on track for a 2011 release, so we may not have to wait much longer to learn more. Yipee!
