Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels received mixed reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic. Some challenges are more difficult than others, but they unlock characters and some battlefields as well. If they are met, a blue Republic symbol will appear at the end of the duel. In "Challenge Mode", the player is given the choice to play as any character in the game currently unlocked, and enter a series of duels in which specific goals are set. They battle against Asajj Ventress, Count Dooku, and General Grievous, plus a Jedi Hunter, named EG-5, a droid that is programmed to use a lightsaber. In "Campaign Mode", the player can only fight as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano, each in their costumes from the series. Duels are fought as a best-of-three series, implemented with dual health bars that deplete one after the other, similar to Killer Instinct, although the winner fully replenishes their current health bar when a round ends with one of the loser's health bars being fully depleted. Quick time events can also occur during a duel that a player can win by performing the correct gestures to deliver extra damage to the opponent. Each character has different attack combos, triggered by inputting a series of several Wii Remote gestures without interruption. Duels are fought one-on-one, with four levels of difficulty themed after the ranks of the Jedi Order for single-player battles against an opponent controlled by artificial intelligence. Players also use the Nunchuk to utilize Force powers to enhance their strength and manipulate objects in the duel arena while playing as a Jedi or Sith. Lightsaber Duels makes use of the Wii Remote to simulate lightsaber combat.
The events of the game's "Campaign Mode" take place during the film and select episodes from the first season of the television series, specifically "Duel of the Droids", "Cloak of Darkness", "Shadow of Malevolence", and "Destroy Malevolence" (in that order), finishing with a scenario original to the game.
