Kinect Star Wars: Destroying Your Memories One Dance Routine At a Time

There's more to Kinect Star Wars than swinging lightsabers, such as this collection of our favourite horrifying dance routines.

165 Comments

If there's one thing Kinect Star Wars has taught us, it's that nothing in the Star Wars universe is sacred. Case in point: the routines and songs from its dance minigame.

If you think the sight of Han Solo gyrating his hips like an overexuberant schoolboy on prom night, or the image of Lando Calrissian performing the groin-thrusting "There Is No Try" move, is enough to forever tarnish your memories of Star Wars, then you clearly haven't experienced the horror that is a group of stormtroopers singing "It's great to be in the Empire today" to the tune of "Y.M.C.A."

So sit back, relax, and enjoy this collection of our "favourite" dance routines from Kinect Star Wars. We accept no responsibility for any of your memories destroyed by these videos.

This would be great as a joke. Now as a serious game... that's the real joke.

"i'm Han Solo, I'm Han Solo" that made me crack up something fierce. The Star Wars-ification of popular song lyrics is just laughably stupid hehe. Really this is so awful that is should have a dance routine set to the horrible musical number in Jabba's Palace in RotJ...or does it already? Next up: DLC featuring Jar Jar Binks as a dancer...or is that already in as well?

I wonder what the motivation was for adding this mini-game... Was it purely for fun or was it because the developers couldn't make Kinect work well with rest of the game? O.o

Haha, I thought I'd be shocked. But this is actually hilarious. The game isn't taking itself seriously, so I'm all for it. And some of those "remake" songs are awesome :p.

Okay, I'm a GIGANTIC Star Wars nerd, always have been since the beginning (to put it in perspective, I remember seeing ROTJ in the theater during it's first release in 1983), and I find this HILARIOUS!!! I love it! I don't see it as "destroying my memories", I see it as having fun with one of the greatest entertainment franchises in history. Anyone who has a problem with this probably also had a problem with the LEGO Star Wars games, which were great!

George Lucas has no shame. This game proves it. He has slipped beyond all hope now. Long live the original SW trilogy. That is his legacy. Everything after is pointless garbage.

I guess it's safe to say that kinect is an abomination and should be destroyed so it doesn't damage any other lovable memories.

The kinect is a great idea, but unfortunately it can only be used for mini-games. For me, those get boring really quick. Hopefully soon they will upgrade the technology where you can actually use it with real games. I bought one a year or so ago thinking that they would eventually make some good games for it, but now realize that he kinect simply isn't good enough to handle quick movements. One day we will be able to be totally immersed in a game, but that day is not today.

I feel like a lot of you are missing the point of what this game is trying to do...its meant to be funny and fun. its not about taking the star wars universe seriously. its meant to make people laugh with its ridiculousness. even the lightsaber gameplay is about being fun in a very relaxed, non-serious way.

This is probably going to be one of those things that is so bad, you buy it just to show off how bad it is. Thinking on it now, this might actually make a good drunken party game.

I laughed through paranormal activity. I wasn't scared. I've looked down the barrel of a live gun before. And I was calm. Through this... I screamed. The horror was too much to handle... and Empire Today? isn't that the moving company from those awful commercials?

No need to use the Kinect to its fullest potential and integrate full body motion controls into an immersive game based on the rich Star Wars universe; just add dancing and save effort!

People really need to realize this game was not made for anyone over the age of 8. Of course it's going to be ridiculous to everyone over that age.
