LucasArts and TT Announce New LEGO Star Wars Title Written Monday, February 08, 2010 by Richard Walker LucasArts and TT Games are collaborating on bringing the latest in the LEGO Star Wars franchise entitled LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, to life, bringing "all new gameplay and features never before seen in a LEGO game" according to President of LucasArts, Darrell Rodriguez. He added that, "the LEGO Star Wars franchise is a massive hit with fans, bringing in sales of over 20 million units worldwide. We’re thrilled to extend this experience to LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, delivering the humour and fun players expect from this award winning franchise." What the supposed "all new gameplay features" will be is currently unknown, but it's encouraging to see LucasArts lending their substantial Star Wars experience to the project. Mini plastic lightsabers at the ready for Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars' release this Autumn. | |

| Comment #5 by eynotie Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 08:48:09 AM Sorry for double post. Wasn't even close to #1. #3 will have to do. |
 | Comment #6 by DeviousD Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 08:50:21 AM @#1 Lol |
 | Comment #7 by Cringer85 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 08:51:52 AM Yay for Ashoka Tano. |
 | Comment #8 by l.maciver Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:05:25 AM i like lego games, so this will be on my list |
 | Comment #9 by BenIsJammin138 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:05:50 AM The Lego games are so boring and tedious to play, Actually surprised how this franchise got so popular |
 | Comment #10 by FlyingSMonster Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:06:12 AM @#1 Over 25% of Lego's fanbase, including me, are adults. And no, Lego is not a toy intended for children under 3. However, I hate the clone wars, so I'll probably avoid this game. The Lego games made by TT are always funny and good, but I'll probably pass on this one. |
 | Comment #11 by Kreegles Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:07:48 AM @#8 Same here, and it's star wars to boot. |
 | Comment #12 by jtr1gg3r Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:09:05 AM what is with lego??? knex FTW XD seriously tho wtp why dont they just make a normal star wars game if anything, because I prefer ACTUAL lego, so I can make 1 big brick and f*ck it off someones head hahahaha |
 | Comment #13 by Robb Banks Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:10:25 AM Just beating that dead horse |
 | Comment #14 by Zee Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:11:04 AM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxKtZmQgxrI |
 | Comment #15 by Rewave Acid Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:11:58 AM @10 Shut up. its a shame they didn't make more of the other Lego star wars games, now they're resorting to that horrible, horrible spin-off :( where did star wars go wrong |
 | Comment #16 by FailedSeppuku Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:20:57 AM @15 i think his name was Jar Jar :oP |
 | Comment #17 by Tango Fett Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:24:49 AM LucasArts! Will you stop with all the shitty Lego games! Quit stalling and bring out Battlefront III Dagnamit! |
 | Comment #18 by cleric_80 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:26:56 AM See I'm cool with lego star wars, lego Indy & lego Harry Potter... Lego Rock band on the other hand is the true beating of a dead horse in the franchise. I mean seriously... |
 | Comment #19 by griftercjn Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:30:55 AM Is it just me or they "flogging a dead horse" with the Lego games and more importantly the Clone Wars storyline? Personally, I'd like to see them start getting into an untapped resource; the books. Here's an idea (less with Lego and more with Star Wars) that will probably get responses about it being from different developers and off-topic. Make a game based on Timothy Zahn's "Thrawn trilogy" with the mechanics of The Force Unleashed (for the force user controls), and some good shooter controls(non-force user) and flight controls(guess what that's for) in an expansive Shooter/RPG style made famous by Bioware's Mass Effect series. Crash and burn or must buy??? |
 | Comment #20 by FatalFlaw810 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:31:33 AM Sounds pretty cool. The lego star wars game were always fun, especially in co-op! |
 | Comment #21 by unreal3 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:33:31 AM @ #12 are you an idiot they made a regular star wars game like two years ago and at number 17 battlefront 3 has stopped developing because pandemic is not a big company any more since the relase of their last game in october |
| Comment #22 by griftercjn Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:33:49 AM @18- glad to see u mentioned the horse too! ;) cont. from 19- yes I'm aware of KOTOR but it's only on pc for the new one and it's now a MMORPG (which personally I'm not a fan of). |
 | Comment #23 by packers4life12 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:38:07 AM im tired of these star wars lego games. were's lego spiderman???? |
 | Comment #24 by gotmeth366 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:44:40 AM Id like to see Shadows of the Empire on XBLA |
 | Comment #25 by Wrothgar Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:49:00 AM I'll buy it, when it drops to $10. |
 | Comment #26 by Thrall320 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:50:06 AM I hate Lego games. |
 | Comment #27 by Evolution X0 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 09:59:14 AM Battlefront III, Remember that game that got leaked a year back? yeah.... |
 | Comment #28 by Hysteria1 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:01:32 AM WWWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! Im with 27, MAKE A NEW BATTLEFRONT GAME! |
 | Comment #29 by InsipidActionHero Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:05:45 AM Screw this, bring us TFU2 or BF3 already. |
 | Comment #30 by Astrex Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:11:54 AM I love the lego series |
 | Comment #31 by NevEP Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:12:23 AM Yet not a Battlefront, Republic Commando, nor a Rogue Squadron. |
 | Comment #32 by SuperWoody64 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:13:34 AM I don't think LucasArts actually makes games. That's why Tt makes them for them. I agree that we need a BattleFront3, especially since noone can play 1 or 2 online come april and you have to resort to the PSP game for that. |
 | Comment #33 by Kyanite Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:18:11 AM @ #19/22 I like your idea, but there's a bit of a problem with making anything out of the extended universe. Most of the casual Star Wars fans aren't aware what the "Thrawn Trilogy" really is. Sure the diehards would be enthusiastic about such an idea, but do you think they would bring in enough money to make such an idea economically feasible? Lego Clone Wars is a safe bet. The Lego Star Wars formula is an undeniable success, and the Clone Wars series is developing a lot of followers. This will be a financial success, and that's the most important factor. |
 | Comment #34 by MattyG1983 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:18:48 AM agreed, they should do another battlefront, but the lego SW games have been pretty solid, and this game will probably be more successful than the other recent clone wars game, which was pretty terrible. |
| Comment #35 by SuperWoody64 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:18:50 AM I agree with dochollywood, give us Shadows of the Empire!!! I want me some dash rendar action! |
| Comment #36 by Kyanite Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:20:45 AM @ #28 Way to fail. I hope your post is deleted. On a final note, I love how every time Lucasarts or Star Wars is mentioned, people start whining about Battlefront III. STFU already! |
 | Comment #37 by litepink Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:20:56 AM Yes, we would all love a new Battlefront game instead of Lego Star Wars, but you do realize that a Lego game is probably easier to make and will probably sell more. I adore Lego Star Wars 1+2 (and Complete for that matter), but wasn't a fan of Batman or Indy. I hope this game can deliver. |
 | Comment #38 by Dr Popodopolus Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:25:39 AM LOL @14 awesome. But yeah what the hell is this crap?? I love the other Lego Star Wars games but this is just unnecessary, I want a Battlefront 3, Republic Commando 2 or something along those lines. |
 | Comment #39 by SaintKnight Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:27:15 AM hopefully this will be good. I'm more looking forward to that LEGO Universe game coming for the PC instead. |
 | Comment #40 by l BANi l Shadow Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:30:05 AM Isn't this the 4th LEGO Star Wars Game... |
 | Comment #41 by MacPhisto Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:30:52 AM @#29: TFU2 has already been announced. http://www.lucasarts.com/games/theforceunleashed2/ |
 | Comment #42 by solarhd Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:31:16 AM if it has online i might get it |
 | Comment #43 by SnowSakura Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:33:46 AM Where is battlefront 3? |
 | Comment #44 by Nozza x360a Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:36:27 AM Cant they just kill off the star wars side of this yet? I prefer different movie based ones each year than this same drival! All of the SW ones seem the same to me, wheres as Indy, Hp and espescially Batman all have something different to add. |
 | Comment #45 by eviltb Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:37:52 AM as much as I love the Lego games, do we need another star wars one? Apparently, someone somewhere thought so. Oh well, another 1000gs to be added soon! |
 | Comment #46 by jsec Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:40:57 AM yea, if i owned the star wars franchise and could do hundreds of different games about anything i wanted; i'd definetly make like 5 or 6 lego games. sure. (puts gun to head) |
| Comment #47 by griftercjn Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 10:54:45 AM @33- Thanks for the feedback. You make a good point. To answer your question, The Force Unleashed was a completely new idea. Introducing the extended universe to gamers would feel like something new as well. I think the Star Wars name is what sells. Of course good reviews from gaming sources helps a lot too! :) |
 | Comment #48 by boromirbeauty Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 11:16:36 AM I enjoyed the LSW games. It was something nice to play with my son so I'm looking forward to another one. |
 | Comment #49 by Daiphyer. Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 11:32:38 AM I've heard there is a more refined building mode in the game. |
 | Comment #50 by sonicdevron Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 11:40:36 AM I'm all for more Lego games, but come on LucasArts, give us what we want; BF3. |
| Comment #51 by InsipidActionHero Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 11:47:42 AM @ #41: Yep I know, but thanks for the link nonetheless. Just wish it would get here faster. |
 | Comment #52 by J BARNSLEY Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 11:58:37 AM @50 - Agreed, last thing anyone needs is more crappy lego games. And the clone wars?! Even the hardcore star wars fans will tell you that film isn't that good.. |
 | Comment #53 by Rodeo Legend Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 11:59:16 AM lego games! |
 | Comment #54 by evokazz Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 12:12:46 PM I love Lego games count me in |
 | Comment #55 by Skar46137 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 12:18:38 PM These were boring after the 2nd one, but i guess they sell to the younger audience. Bring on Battlefront 3, Force Unleashed 2 and the KOTOR MMO ploX. Star Wars is far from dead. |
 | Comment #56 by Gilganomics Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 12:24:32 PM @10 He's not implying LEGO is for 3 year olds, he's refering to the choking hazard warning people against giving legos to toddlers...no need to protect your precious brick empire. @17,21,27,28,29,31,32,34,37,38,43,50 The 3rd Battlefront was being designed by Free Radical (007 Goldeneye & Perfect Dark when they worked for Rare, Timesplitters, Second Sight & Haze later), but they hit major financial woes, culminating in the company losing more than 3/4 of it's staff, being bought by the german devs Crytek (Crysis) and re-named "Crytek UK". |
 | Comment #57 by HellCatNZ Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 12:26:13 PM Everyone realise that LA are blinded by their monies and they will never listen to us. im happy with this game, hopefully it wont freeze every ten seconds like LIJ2. Though i wouldve liked a EU game set around the LOTF series |
| Comment #58 by echX Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 12:30:44 PM Personaly I love the simplicity of the LEGO games, but mostly Star Wars since I'm a huge fan. A definite buy for me! |
| Comment #59 by Gilganomics Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 12:34:33 PM cont. from #56 At some point during FR's final days they lost the rights to make BF III. It was rumored that Pandemic (makers of the first two games) would get a crack at it, but they denied this, claiming that the game was in limbo without a home. Repeating what was mentioned somewhere above me, Pandemic is dealing with a similair situation; a hefty portion of their staff have been eliminated and now I believe the remaing employees (all 35 of them) have been folded into EA's LA branch. So, with both of these companies broken, recycled and forgotten about (which is unfortunate, because they were two of my favorites), the most likely candidate appears to be Rebellion Studios (the group behind the PSP Battlefront released not so long ago). I think there's a petition to release BF |
| Comment #60 by Gilganomics Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 12:49:28 PM "I think there's a petition to release BF III wandering around the "extranet" somewhere." (I wish I could see the character limit while I was typing). I've only ever owned the 1st LEGO Star Wars for orig. Xbox. I enjoyed it enough to finish more than once, but I don't think I could get into the series again. @47 I was thinking the same thing. SW TFU (which without the "W" is the best acronym for a game, ever) had no prior existance before the game, but attracted a great audience (including friends of mine who didn't care about Star Wars), and KotOR proved how succesful content outside of the movies could be in the right hands. Your idea would have me drop $60 right now. |
 | Comment #61 by Gearbolt Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 12:50:05 PM I'd rather have an actual Star Wars game like a new Battlefront game, but this might be worth checking out. |
 | Comment #62 by Battosai343 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 01:08:28 PM While this is not bad news, I would really like to see a sequel to Republic Commando. That game was pure awesome. Although something tells me my wishes will go unanswered. :( |
 | Comment #63 by Fueled By RC Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 01:12:12 PM you'd think that Activision owns the LEGO license with the amount of LEGO games that come out. |
 | Comment #64 by ViperxSniper Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 01:13:01 PM Lego Star Wars III? Shouldn't this be IV? Let's see, there Lego Star Wars I, Lego Star Wars : The Original Trilogy, and The Complete Saga. Or are they just doing what Capcom does and not counting one? |
 | Comment #65 by R_A_LEE20 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 01:25:52 PM @#64 - Lego Star Wars - The Complete Saga is just 1&2 welded onto 1 disc. Nothing new (well, not much) was added to the game. |
| Comment #66 by R_A_LEE20 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 01:30:49 PM Damn it i was hoping for Lego Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. But oh well, i've never watched The Clone Wars so this i'll be a pass for me. Also New Lego Star Wars and Lego Harry Potter in the same season. I can really see my console bricking up this year. |
 | Comment #67 by Grey Delta Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 02:31:09 PM Easy points, and the clone wars time period is awesome so interested to see what they do with it. The other 2 were awesome :D |
| Comment #68 by griftercjn Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 02:32:59 PM @60- well with you added that gives us 3 total fans of the idea! Unfortunately I think we need quite a few more to get the ball rolling! :) I think a lot of the people who've posted wanting either Battlefront 3 or Republic Commando 2 would be fans as well if it were truly put into motion. The idea being that until it's seen in action, most would be unable to visualize the game, therefore unable to be excited about the idea. |
| Comment #69 by Mr Theropod Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 03:52:05 PM nothing new, just repackaged crap |
 | Comment #70 by OnePunchEckert Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 04:23:37 PM lego games are retarded |
 | Comment #71 by soadkenjos Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 04:27:06 PM I like the Lego Star Wars games but what we all really want, or at least I do anyway, are for Lucas Arts to bring back the Star Wars Battlefront series and Knights Of The Old Republic !!! Imagine how great they'd be on Next Gen and in High Def :-) |
 | Comment #72 by KingsGambit08 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 04:34:30 PM I just discovered I love LEGO games, so good! Just bring back online co-op.... please? |
 | Comment #73 by Lord Montymort Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 04:56:26 PM Will people stop complaining about this and saying they should make Battlefront 3 instead, this is been made by TT and just published by Lucas Arts, LUCAS ARTS ARN'T MAKING THIS, as for Battlefront 3, I no longer want it, Pandemic Studios are gone so they can't make it, and Rebellion have only made them for the PSP and they have been poor quality IMO, and I can't think of anyone else who could make one without it becoming a totally diffrent game and loosing what made it fun. |
 | Comment #74 by Jordbrett Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 04:58:29 PM Lego back to the future!!! Please and then bond and ghostbusters enough star wars already. |
| Comment #75 by Lord Montymort Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 05:06:29 PM @74: They can't just do any series they want they have to get the right to make it first plus apart from Bond I doubt the others would suit LEGO. |
 | Comment #76 by Primate Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 05:07:56 PM meh I will pick it up cheap a few months after release |
 | Comment #77 by AlmightyTallest Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 05:22:50 PM @ #52: I think this is based on the CG Animated TV show, not episode II. But either way, agreed. I think they're going this route purely for marketing purposes, as was mentioned earlier. Also, whoever mentioned Shadows of the Empire on XBLA: I'd buy that the day it launched. Now to go dig out the N64 =P |
 | Comment #78 by stevedb79 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 05:33:08 PM will be just the same old thing...like the other previous games...loved them,but will wait for a week after release and the inevitable lego game 50% price decrease.....if nothing better is out that week that is ;0) |
 | Comment #79 by scott.m Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 05:43:42 PM Bring back Bioware to deliver a new knights of the old republic (after they have finished the Mass Effect games). Im not complaining about a new LSW game, just hopeing to add to most of the pointless whining about SW-BF3. Its in limbo, cant help with that....... I love the LSW games, i'll have to pick this 1 up. They always make me laugh. |
 | Comment #80 by Machew8472 Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 06:29:48 PM @19 i love the timothy zhan "thrawn" trilogy... i always thought they would make excellent films let alone games, that would be awsome... i have read quite a few star wars books that took place after original trilogy and they were all a very good read, i dont know why they keep doing this earlier stuff. surley it makes no sense, most of the star wars fans are fans because of original films and to me being a fairly big star wars fan myself wants to see more of the saga that took place after the emperor and vader died. enough rambling... i dont like clone wars so this will be a no go for me... |
 | Comment #81 by awesomepizza Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 06:37:04 PM I like Lego Games, but seriously, Clone Wars? Promote that loser Mary Sue? Why not, try something ballsy LucasArts. Introduce kids to the expanded Universe with a Lego Game. Get some names out there no one outside a musky basement has heard of. The Batman game had Hush and Nightwing. Ask a non comic reader who Nightwing is... Oh wait, we can't, because Lucas spent a decade building the Expanded Universe to ignore it for the Clone Wars cash grab that never wants to end no matter how much we all hate it! |
| Comment #82 by dR PowerDrain Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 06:50:06 PM OMG! THIS IS GUNNA BE THE BEST GAME THIS YEAR!!!!!11!one!! Really this is just overkill now. Who gives a shit about Lego games anymore? |
 | Comment #83 by Undead Genocide Monday, February 08, 2010 @ 07:18:29 PM Not a big fan of the Clone Wars, but I enjoy the Lego games with my family so I'll probably try it out... |
 | Comment #84 by Jmashed Tuesday, February 09, 2010 @ 01:56:58 AM the game is simplistic, bland, and the game-play is way out dated. I enjoyed it when it first came out on past gen systems but now its just another series to milk. Kids play this for two reasons: Lego and Star Wars, not because its good, because they don't know any better. You game developers should quit ripping off kids and make a good game for a change, enough with this crap. |
