EXCLUSIVE: Bluetooth Star Wars Lightsaber Duel iPhone app coming soon

The CLANG force is BZZZT strong in this one.

Forward this story on to the Star Wars nut in your life - but warn them to sit down before reading it. THQ Wireless is set to release a Bluetooth-enabled Lightsaber Duel app for iPhone next month.

Yes, that means people will be able to swing their iPhones at one another with officially-licensed lightsaber sounds, with Bluetooth connectivity.

The app is the follow-up to 2008's Lightsaber Unleashed, which was itself THQ's revamped version of an unofficial app called PhoneSaber.

The new Lightsaber Duel app is due out early next month (April). Besides the two-player Bluetooth mode, it will feature 11 new characters from the Star Wars universe, as well as the ability for players to create multiple custom characters.

They'll also be able to play their own duelling music while duking it out. See below for the first artwork from the game.
