More LEGO Star Wars on the way

PC News | Building the saga brick by brick.

LucasArts and TT Games today announced the development of the next chapter in the LEGO Star Wars series of titles, LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, which is set to take the action out of the Star Wars movieverse and into that of the popular animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars when it arrives later in the year.

The press release gave away little about the title, but we do know that LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars will include all the characters from both seasons of the animated television series, as well as some of your favourite characters from the beloved space saga. The game looks to expand on the gameplay of its forefathers with confirmation that it will feature brand new "battle modes, giving players unique, head-to-head combat and an upgraded level builder, allowing the creation of customized bases and in-game battlefields." Players will also get to choose who they want to play as with the title giving gamers the option to pledge allegiance to either the Jedi or Separatist factions. Characters will also be beefed up with all-new character abilities which will give players the opportunity to command squads as well as access all new Jedi tricks such as "lightsaber slicing, Lightsaber jumps, long distance Jedi attacks and Grapple Tie-Ups."

The next chapter of the LEGO Star Wars saga will be coming to PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PSP, Nintendo DS and Wii later this year.

Not sure about anyone else feels but imo the LEGO series doesn't feel watered down no matter how many games they make. Which is good in a way cause thats what they're doing lol.

Harry Potter LEGO will still be the best though, no arguments there =]

who cares? seriously i have the star wars saga, lego indy and batman and they are all sitting on the shelf collecting dust. if there was trophy support, i might give them to the youngins in the family to play, key word being might. everytime i see this game on the screen i just have to turn it off, its been absolutely thrashed and needs to stop. i mean you could literally lego everything and it still would not be enough, stop now. please.

I agree and disagree. They've forced the Lego brand into other areas and it hasn't been as effective (Lego Batman was a huge disappointment for me, Indy was okay but the sequel was a waste of time).

Lego Star Wars is the right brand for this kind of title, it's got the right mix of characters, action and brand awareness is second to none. I'm surprised they haven't decided to try something new instead of a straight up sequel, but I welcome it none the less.

Harry Potter might be a worthy universe for the series, hopefully. There's still life in the lego idea, but they've got to use the right brands.

i'd like to see a Lego God of War. You could rip the limbs off characters to collect parts to build your own Lego Creatures.

Maybe, as long as you don't go around whacking people with wands.

My Eight Year old daughter and I have enjoyed them all. I thought the puzzles and coop was at the next level for Indiana 2. Loved Star Wars Saga and will definitely get Lego Harry Potter and the Star Wars Game.

It gives me welcome relief from the continual stream of FPS rubbish games including CODMW2.

Game on

Lego Star Wars was always my fave out of what's been released so far, with Indy and Batman second and third. A level builder is well over due. As long as there's decent content on offer and the quality is consistent (save it becoming the dead horse that is the Guitar Hero franchise), they have my blessing to keep going.

I hope not, I hope they include about half a dozen+ spells, it would make sense because the amount of puzzles LEGO could create with even the basic spells in Harry Potter is huge. Fingers crossed they don't substitute it for wand bashing. Besides Flipendo is the spell that is for knocking people around =p
