When I bought Star Wars: The Force Unleased for the Wii, it was getting really frustrating. I couldn’t get past the Rogue Jedi. Somehow after waving my hands around with the wiimote, I got past him. Then when I reached General Kota, I hit problems again.
When you get either the Rogue Jedi or General Kota down to low health, a picture of the nunchuck or wiimote appears with 4 arrows. I thought it just meant to move your hands around. So there I was flailing my arms around, but both the Rogue Jedi and General Kota would not go down because they kept breaking out of the final move.
It turns out that what works is that you just need to move your arms in each direction once. What seems to work for me is making a motion with the nunchuck or wiimote when prompted to move each respectively in a ‘Jesus cross’ or ‘plus sign’ formation. Just motioning like this once each time when prompted should do the trick.
