With a week separating us from the official release of Kinect Star Wars, Microsoft has unveiled the launch trailer for the game, showing off the sheer popularity of the Star Wars franchise as a whole and the special experience delivered by the new game.

Kinect Star Wars has been a long time coming, with Microsoft and its internal studios working hard to make sure the game recreates some of the most popular moments in the huge franchise and that its gameplay delivers at least a decent motion controlled experience.

After seeing some rather unfortunate videos with the game in action, the launch trailer for Kinect Star Wars has appeared, showing off the magnitude of the series and some of the key moments in the game.

Thankfully, the hilarious dancing competitions were left out, as only lightsaber duels and pod racing are showcased.

Check out the launch trailer for Kinect Star Wars above and get ready for its release exclusively for the Xbox 360 on April 3.
