LucasArts Announces LEGO Star Wars III

Clone Wars cartoon series gets done up in block form for release later this year.


This Millennium Falcon is made out of LEGO-brand bricks. 
This Millennium Falcon is made out of LEGO-brand bricks. 
LucasArts has announced that Traveller's Tales is developing a third game in the successful LEGO Star Wars line. This year's outer space block mash-up will be known as LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars.

As you might have guessed from the title, the game is based on the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, which currently airs on Cartoon Network. The game will take from both seasons of the show and will include additional battle modes, the ability to command squads, and additional attacks and moves.

The game is in development for the Wii, DS, PSP, Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. It's scheduled to be released in the fall of 2010.

So sick of the LEGO series, and IMO, the game started to become good after they stopped making the Star Wars games. I hated the "combat" in those- I know it's not supposed to be God of War or anything, but it was boring as hell to just mash-mash-mash with your weak lightsaber. Don't get me started on the guns either. I'm certainly not the target audience for this one, but don't you think that kids have had their fill with 5 (6 if you include Complete Saga) different LEGO games? At least the upcoming Harry Potter tie-in is actually doing some different things with the well-trodden formula; what is this honestly going to bring to the series?

The animated series? Meh. I loved the first two Lego Star Wars games, but that doesn't seem like an appealing premise to me.

LucasArts what the fuck are you doing? Get back on the Battlefront franchise or something, stop wasting your time with this.

Understandable, because it will be profitable. But still. DUMB. I guess the sad part is that we are no longer the target market anymore whatsoever.

Please. No more Lego Games. Especially lego games based on crappy CG spinoffs of already terrible films, which are spinoffs of 3 good films. We need more Jedi Knight action.

I defend Lego Indiana Jones, saying though a bit of a sell out and cheesy, it was still fun. I am defending Lego Harry Potter, due to the world being condusive to this type of game.
 
But maybe I'm crazy, what the hell else can you do with a THIRD Lego Star Wars? Lego sex?

That looks like the midi-scale one, which isn't so bad.

Kind of disappointed to see so many people trashing the Clone Wars series.  While primarily aimed at kids, it's had some geniunely good episodes.  Miles better than the prequel movies..  Any of the episodes based around the Clones themselves and their struggles are highly recommended.

They have done it for many years before. But the Lego games were what gave them both critical and commercial acclaim. And they are afraid to let go, obviously.

They really need to change the formula for these Lego games now.  It's the same crap over and over again.  What they need to do is make Lego Island 3 dammit.

We would probably think so, as hardcore gamers; but my Mom actually plays the Lego games, and she wouldn't want change.  My mom and kids are probably more the target demographic.  Casual gamers.

That's true.  I guess as long as the games are selling, they will stick with their winning formula.

I might be remotely interested in this if it was based on the awesome traditionally animated Clone Wars series that aired between episodes II and III, not the crappy computer animated The Clone Wars series they're airing now. Not that I have much interest at all in the Lego Popular Franchise franchise anymore.

You must be out of the loop, considering the currently running CW series is everything people have been asking for in a cartoon series forever. Serious storylines involving darker topics than you're used to seeing for kids TV, lots of action, great storytelling without talking down to the viewer...it's a lot better than you might think.

F#*k I hate those games... I have Lego Star Wars 2 and refuse to put it with my other games because it's such a shame. Wow!.. LucasArts couldn't have done a better job at turning me off Star Wars, I'm actually starting to dislike the Original Trilogy now, just because I know George Lucas had some kind of involvement in it!.. Did you know if Lucas had his way on "A New Hope" Luke Skywalker was going to be a 60 year old man?.. Eeeeh!
