Lucasarts talks Star Wars: Force Unleashed, and why no Wii version

A portion of an article from TheForce.net…

First off, the platforms. The LucasArts site lists ‘Next-Generation platforms, PS2, PSP and DS’ among the systems capable of playing this game. So let’s just break this down. PlayStation3 and XBox 360 are the next-gen systems. While those other platforms will have the game, the mechanics of gameplay will be decidedly different. Krome Studios will be making the PSP/PS2 version, while n-Space will be handling the Nintendo DS version. But what about the Wii?! Well, when they asked a LucasArts rep about that, the response was, “even if that version does happen, it probably wouldn’t be ‘the lightsaber game’ that gamers have eagerly been awaiting.” Bummer.

Well, the rep doesn’t completely shoot down a Wii version of the game, but it doesn’t sound like anything is in the works. What is Lucasarts’ deal? Do you guys think they are working on a Star Wars game for the Wii or not?
