Kinect: Star Wars is officially released tomorrow but footage from the video game has already shown up on the Internet.
It seems there is a dancing element to the game. This makes sense. Dancing games are huge. Why can’t Han Solo and Lando Calrissian have a dance off with each other?
They even changed the lyrics of popular songs to be more relevant with the Star Wars universe.
I’m feeling like a star
You can’t stop my shine
I’m loving Cloud City
My head’s in the sky.
I’m Solo
I’m Han Solo
I’m Han Solo
I’m Han Solo
Solo
What do you think? Genius or Travesty? We here at iFanboy vote GENIUS.

DJ Lobot is currently my favorite thing ever.
There is a song to the theme of YMCA called “Empire Today.”
As a long-time Star Wars fan, I love it. It’s so ridiculous and cheesy.
This is the greatest thing since Masters of Teras Kasi.
THOCK HOAR THOCK HOAR THOCK HOAR
CHEEEEW-BACCA!
And to think we would never see something worse than Masters of Teras Kasi… and I just said my age unvolontarily by admitting I played that game all those years ago! 0_o
@KillTheGimp: TERAS KASI was the second most fun video game we played in college.
What’s the first one, out of curiosity ( I might regret that hehe)?
@KillTheG1mp: GOLDENEYE.
Good call. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark afterwards were the most played games in my house and my friends.
Masters of Teras Kasi, though… you guys are masochists, seriously! :p
You just had to learn to play it.
I too was a master of Teras Kasi.
That game was my introduction to Mara Jade. As in, “who is this and why don’t I remember her from the movies?”
Terasi Kasi….Oy.
That was the first video game I ever realized games could be BAD. Up to that point I had fun with all my games (both on the NES and Sega Genesis). But this game? Pile of dog poo.
I don’t get the Teras Kasi hate. My friends and I had a lot of fun playing it in college, guys and gals. Maybe it wasn’t as deep as Street Fighter or whatever, but who cares, it was Star Wars fighting fun! I’ve never understood the disdain.
I think it’s mostly from folks who think Star Wars characters shouldn’t be in a fighting game.
LOVED Teras Kasi. That and FFVII made the Playstation more indispensable than food.
@WilliamKScurryJr *HIGHFIVE*
I’ve added the ‘Trash Compactor’ to my list of dance floor moves.
I also like that in the background there is a stormtrooper ignoring his job and just getting letting loose. Maybe he is on their equivalent of shore leave.
Jesus fucking Christ! HERESYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I say!
Seriously though, there’s a guy that call these shots and demands or even think it’s hip or cool to have that… And he gets paid to make those decisions right… And I mean, why is he still ALIVE!? 0_o
Jar-Jar Binks was a dickslap to the face of fans from Lucas himself, but this, this… HERESYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
/Nerdrage mode: off.
THIS IS AMAZING!!!
Holy crap, those ARE the droids i was looking for!111111
This was perhaps the greatest thing i’ve seen in a while. Those lyrics…those grooving storm troopers. And yes DJ Lobot was rad as f#ck.
Wish i had a freakin kinect
Chewie Hug? Falcon Flight? Double Blaster?
Brilliant.
Reminds me too much of the dance scene in “Jedi.” Don’t like it.
No. This is totally the scene from The Empire Strikes Back, when Han and Lando had the dance-off in Cloud City. However, the continuity is wrong because the dance-off happened BEFORE Han was frozen in carbonite.
If anything is deserving of a Skywalker “NOOOOOOOO,” it’s this.
Why do some people hate fun?
This is just crazy, I have feeling that this isn’t the only dance sequence in the game too.
“Galactic Dance Off” is one of the five modes in the game, so it might be 20% or so of the whole experience. Lots of songs!
Where is the G.D. apocalypse!?! Humanity is no longer worth saving. Society needs to got smote!
Let it be known that I do not hate fun. You are the one who hates fun.
I’ve been singing this Han Solo song all day.
Never having played a dance game, I don’t know exactly why it keeps saying Billy Dee’s crotch is “AWESOME,” but you know what? I agree.
It’s not too far-fetched, they’ve been doing Star Wars Dance Off at Disneyland for years now: http://youtu.be/Ps0ZV_Fut48
And I’ve just noticed that the carbonite grabber arm picks up a Death Star disco ball out of the carbonite pit. I need this game.
“You have chosen… wisely” to crib a line from Star Wars’ Kissing Cousin. There is nothing about this that isn’t a good decision. Oh Star Wars, you vast money making machine you.
(Also, was that the Outrider? Is Dash Rendar in this?)
Okay you guys…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQJDrohLoOw
This is so frustrating. SW Kinect completely stole this from a rapper by the name of Mc Chris.
The kept the original song’s music, but the idea and chorus were done first by Mc Chris.
Please check this out!
Pretty sure he’s credited for this song.
Picking this up tomorrow along with my r2d2 Xbox. Cannot wait!!!!
I don’t know what’s more disturbing:
The fact that this is real
OR
They used a young Harrison Ford model to do the dancing
Hey, man, George Lucas has five, I mean, three kids to feed!
This is Awesome!
Vader dancing to “The EMPIRE State of Mind” or Chewbacca’s “WhoLet The Dogs Out”?
Well, I think this officially destroys the last shred of credibility and relevance Star Wars had.
Well, except for the easily amused folk who’ll buy anything with the Star Wars brand name stamped on the box.
Yeah, everyone is stupid…
I’m pretty sure that happened in 1999.
I’m having a hard time reconciling “credible” and Star Wars.
This singlehandedly undoes all the hard work accomplished by the PS2’s “Super Bombad Racing.”
YES! YES! YES!
Yeesh after watching that I’m starting to think maybe Greedo did shoot first.
This is mesmerizing. Watching these clips is its own psychedelic drug.
I would strongly recommend watching the first clip that comes up after the video on this page. Holla Back Girl re-purposed to Hologram Girl. Jabba bobbing his head to the beat. Slave girl Leah. Dancing Jawas. Boba Fett. It’s glorious.
Just ordered it based on my kids doing the “double blaster” and “Not a Scratch” for the last 24 hours.
Wow! I had no idea that I’d been doing a move called the Double Blaster for years! Life is so much cooler now!
I have a Kinect, but no games for it. That ends today.
