Eidos to publish Lego Star Wars game

Eidos today announced that it has secured the distribution rights to a multiplatform Lego Star Wars game. The company will release the game with Giant Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, PC, and Game Boy Advance in April 2005.

Lego Star Wars will be an action adventure game based on the prequel trilogy of films in the Star Wars series: The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and next May's Revenge of the Sith. While only Obi-Wan (pictured) has been confirmed for the game, Lego versions of the other major characters from the films are sure to make an appearance.

Traveller's Tales is developing the Xbox, PS2, and PC versions of the game, while Amaze Entertainment is working on the GBA version. Check GameSpot for more information on Lego Star Wars as it becomes available.
