LEGO Star Wars? (Trust us, it's better than the movies…)

Coming May 2005, Giant Interactive & LucasArts are bringing us an original retelling of the infamous first three episodes of the Star Wars movie franchise.  Yes, we're talking Qui-Gon Jin, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and young master Skywalker himself in full-on LEGO regalia.  The game is set to feature a unique "drop-in/drop-out" gameplay mechanic, essentially a two-player co-op experience that allows players to change characters on the fly.  And don't be fooled, the LEGO trademark is not for aesthetic purposes only, players can use the force to rearrange LEGO blocks in order to bypass obstructions in the environments.  Don't expect a whole lot of challenge from this one, as it's geared towards all ages, but it is certainly an interesting addition to the ever-growing Star Wars Universe.  Be sure to check back here for future updates.
