I suppose if I were a truly responsible game journalist, I'd be able to tell you if Jedi Master Yoda will be using true Type IV Ataru lightsaber forms in LucasArts' new Wii fighter Star Wars: The Clone Wars -- Lightsaber Duels. But sometimes, a journalist has to put his morals ahead of the blind pursuit of information, and this is one of those cases. I'd be irresponsible to propagate that sort of fancrufty nonknowledge; let the fanboys argue the canonicity of Lightsaber Duels in a Wikipedia discussion thread. Me, I want no truck with that nonsense.
So no, I don't have any idea whether or not Lightsaber Duels observes authentic, Lucas-approved lightsaber stances. Nor should you care! That would be missing the point of this game, the same way that stormtroopers somehow miss everything they shoot at. Lightsaber Duels isn't really about telling a great story or anything despite the bits of banter exchanged in the heat of battle when two characters lock swords. It simply is about this: using the Wii Remote like it's a lightsaber. In other words, this is pretty much the game that sprang immediately to everyone's mind the moment the Wii Remote was first revealed to the world.
