Lego Star Wars: The Video Game is a video game based on the Star Wars-themed toy line by the Lego Group, taking place during the prequel trilogy (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith), and an end segment from A New Hope although all with some humouristic sidelines. Lego Star Wars was released on April 5, 2005, a full month before the final Star Wars film premiered, which surprised most people since the game contains a few spoilers about the movie. A GameCube version of the game was released on October 26th 2005. A separate Game Boy Advance version was also released. 1
It was developed and published by Traveller's Tales and Giant Entertainment for the Xbox, PlayStation 2, and Windows, with Griptonite Games developing the Game Boy Advance version. All versions were distributed on April 5, 2005 by Eidos Interactive and LucasArts. A Mac port, developed by Aspyr, was released in August 2005.
While billed as a "kid's game", it peaked at the top of the UK charts during early May 2005, losing the spot to the official game of Episode III, but remaining for the rest of the month within the top spots of the chart.
A sequel, Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, has been recently announced.
