Gameplay
Built around the theme of Jedi cooperation during the battles and events of the Clone Wars, in Star Wars The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance players must not only master the force individually, but also maximize and focus its power as you join with another Jedi to fight as a unit. The makeup of your Jedi pairings is entirely up to you. Go with a team of padawans, a team of master Jedi, or the usual master and student team. Playable Jedi include, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, Mace Windu, Plo Koon, and Kit Fisto. Each of the available Jedi possess a varied level of skill with Force abilities, but each also possess unique character moves and combat skills which will be useful in specific situations, allowing for maximum replay value as you explore each character combination. In addition, using specific Jedi combinations will unlock special attacks in abilities.

All player actions in Jedi Alliance are performed via an innovative stylus-based input system. Through this, controlling your Jedi's movement and lightsaber combat has never felt more immersive. Moving and picking up items is as simple as tapping the screen with your stylus, or a combination of tapping and sliding the stylus to perform combos, while lightsaber combat works as fast as you can tap. Additional gameplay also consists of a series of mini-games both related to puzzle-solving and lightsaber and force combat.

The Nightsisters are a coven of 'Force witches' aligned with the Dark Side, but not owing allegiance to the Emperor. Legend has it that they were taught the ways of the Force in the ancient past by a renegade Jedi. An outcast and thus unhampered by the decisions of the Jedi council, this Jedi created an Amazon-like society which ruled its far away homeworld with an iron fist in isolation. Although their close contact with the Dark Side gives the Nightsisters an appearance very similar to the Sith, they are not part of the same sect. In fact, as the events of Jedi Alliance unravel, it becomes clear that although they are a danger to the Jedi they may pose just as much of a threat to the growing power if the Emperor.
