LEGO Star Wars III Announced

Lucasarts has confirmed LEGO Star Wars III, and that it will take the animated series The Clone Wars as its template this time around.

The game will again be developed by UK studio Traveller’s Tales though it does promise brand new gameplay elements. It will include characters and settings from both Clone Wars TV series.

Our official reaction is a tremendous yawn and a dismissive “Ugh”. The LEGO games have not only been beaten to death at this point, but what is this manic obsession with the idiotic prequel crap George Lucas seems to be spewing out? The only way the franchise will grow, it seems, is if he kicks the bucket like Gene Roddenberry did, who, too, interfered with his own product.

Note to Lucas: the prequels stunk. Stop foisting these uninteresting characters on us. No one cares. Just enjoy the royalty checks and give someone else the reins to the IP. Please stop taking long dumps in your own drinking water. Now.

Rant over.
