Lightsaber styli

Nintendo may not want to license a Lightsaber peripheral for the Wii remote.. but apparently this was OK. A 3-pack of Lightsaber styluses(styli?), and they're officially licensed by both Star Wars and Nintendo! Go figure...

From left to right: Luke Skywalker, Obi Wan, Darth Vader

Also available is a 2 piece set of larger light-up styli. Though here you just get Darth Vader's and Luke's sabers.

According to Amazon.com, both of these items are releasing July 31st, 2008. The 3-pack will retail for $7.99, and the 2-pack light-up sabers will cost you $16.99. They don't seem practical for gaming; but I guess it'd be need to play mini-Jedi vs mini-Sith battles... without the use of action figures or LEGOs......

P.S. Looks like this news is really catching on!

the green lightsaber in the 3 pack is actually yoda's not luke's
luke's saber resembles obi-wan's, accept that the blade is green
