Maybe it's indicative of the summer slump, but recently
LEGO Star Wars made quite an impression
at several gaming conventions (including the San Diego Comic-Con & the Edinburgh International Games Festival),
attracting enough attention to have big name publishers vying for its rights. It's now been confirmed that
Eidos has bought the exclusive publishing rights for all territories outside of Japan. Development, for all major
platforms, is being handled by Traveller's Tales—Amaze is working on the GBA version. LEGO Star Wars is set for release
next April, coinciding with the release of the third film.
