And here we thought the well of Lego Star Wars material had dried up. Perhaps we've underestimated TT Games, which has revealed that it's constructing a new armed and fully operational entry in the series: Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars. Destined for an Autumn 2010 release on the Xbox 360, PS3, PSP, Nintendo DS and Wii, the game will focus on the events of the Cartoon Network animated series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Expect "brand new battle modes, giving players unique, head-to-head combat" and an expanded level editor, allowing potential Padawans and Seperatists the chance to construct their own "customized bases and in-game battlefields." You'll also be able to employ new tactics throughout the game, such as "Squad command, Lightsaber slicing, Lightsaber jumps, long distance Jedi attacks and Grapple Tie-Ups."

Wait, lightsaber slicing? Does that mean the obvious, or the radical ability to slice through lightsabers?

Well it looks like we are getting a new Lego Star Wars Game but with Clone Wars Characters YAY

Oh here is a link for the news

Oh crap in a bucket why does that massacre in CG continue to vex me? Screw The Clone Wars, I say LEGO Star Wars was better off at two games, one for each trilogy.

[Blade]

Aww. The first two were ok (the second improved pretty much everything), but I really think they should have just left it.

Now they're making a game about something they just made up! Why?

First, money. Second, "just made up"? Everything in Star Wars franchise was made up.

[Jay Tee]

I agree with Ter and Blade, The 1st two games were good then the third was so ridiculously boring as all the 'improved' stuff didn't exist!

You realize that the so called third only packaged the first two games and gave the first one a better control scheme, right? Right?

Ignorance at it's finest, gentlemen. You may not get a better look at it.

Another game, this time based on the Cartoon Network series? It won't be as epic.

Don't be silly, you know I was referring to the fact they just came up with it out of nowhere, rathing than using existing material!

Existing material had to be made up.

Besides, everyone knows that everything before Episode 4 is a piece of trash.

Fix'd that for ya.

They should get their act together and make a Space Police game or something like that...

I don't see the problem here: three Lego Star Wars games for the three and only three Star Wars movies that were ever made hurr hurr ow my crushed dreams.

Do people still buy these Lego games anymore? To me they're like the never ending stream of Guitar Hero/Rock Band iterations. You buy one and you learn to play and it's awesome and you play it and play it and you have to buy the next one! Then you find that the next one is exactly the same only with a new set of songs, so you play all of them a few times and then you realise that, now you know how to wail on a plastic guitar there isn't much more in store for you. You got so much enjoyment out of the first game because you had to start on Easy and work your way up as your skills increased and eventually you were knocking down song after song on Expert mode, but when you get to the next game you can start on Expert straight away and you're done with the game in a fraction of the time.

But with the Lego games there's no learning curve, you can be playing like a pro five minutes after touching the controller, so the only difference between games is the level design. I don't believe the actual gameplay is enough to hook a person, since it's basically the occasional jump, a lot of attack button mashing, and gouging rings into your analogue sticks by constantly running around in circles to pick up all the studs that fall out of everything you smash. I've played Lego Star Wars 1 and 2, as well as the Complete Saga and, after trying out demos for Batman and Indiana Jones I came to the conclusion that I'd had more Lego than one devilishly handsome yet sweet and sensitive young man can take.

Now there's Lego Indiana Jones 2, which I assume will be the second of three Indy games to match up with the three and only three Indy movies oh God don't remind me, and then Harry Potter and there'll no doubt be more and more after that. How do these things keep selling?

I don't see a problem with this. Who is LEGO mainly aimed at? Young children. Who is the Clone Wars cartoon mainly aimed at? Young children. So, young children will buy a product aimed at young children based of a show produced for young children.

Anyways, I definitely won't buy this, but I'll give the demo a try for sure. I like the Clone Wars show anyways. Sure, it's goofy sometimes, but it's a twenty minutes a week I'm willing to give.

This. I've kinda accepted that since I'm from 1994, I'm from the lost generation, but I live with that. At least a kid that gets Lego Star Wars 3 won't be bored to death by his mother buying him an "edutainment" game - a genre to which the Sturgeon's Law fits like a Medic to a Heavy (or Medic to Marine, or Viconia to CHARNAME, or... whatever.)

I never saw The Clone Wars, I don't think it's even broadcasted there, I don't bother. Heck, I'd even play that game if I had the chance. I mean, it's just an innocent game using Clone Wars plotlines. And it's going to be improved upon its precedessors.

Twilight LEGO. Just you wait.

Actually, I'd play that just for the ability to beat up the characters and make them explode.
