Microsoft debuted the trailer for the company's Kinect collaboration with LucasArts, Star Wars Kinect, during their E3 Media Briefing today. Closely resembling an on-rails shooter, Star Wars Kinect (hopefully a working title) will be released exclusively on the Xbox 360 in 2011.
Star Wars Kinect has a bit of an "out of time" feel to it as Clone Wars era battle droids fight alongside Empire era Stormtroopers and a post-Revenge of the Sith Darth Vader. The look of the game's Jedi hero is also heavily based on Obi-Wan Kenobi's appearance in the prequel trilogy.
