July 27^th, 2004 (12:00am) - The LEGO Company, LucasArts, game publishers Giant Interactive Entertainment and developer Traveller’s Tales have joined together to create a new Star Wars action-adventure videogame that will allow players to live all of the adventures of the most memorable and exciting scenes from the prequel movies in the Star Wars universe.

From lightsaber duels to frantic space combat, the action, characters and vehicles from The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and the newly named Revenge of the Sith will all be playable in a new LEGO way. The game boasts two-player "drop-in/drop-out" cooperative play throughout; with the unique LEGO "Free Play" mode players can take both light side and dark side characters into unique situations. The game also gives players the opportunity to build, move, and transform LEGO objects through the use of the Force.

Attendees of Comic Con in San Diego has received their first look of the game, which will be released in conjunction with an exciting new range of LEGO play materials in April, 2005, prior to the much-anticipated May 19th release date of the officially named Revenge of the Sith Movie movie.

The game is scheduled for release for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, PC and Game Boy Advance platforms.
