Genuine surprise. That was the first feeling that came upon me when I saw the reveal of the third LEGO Star Wars game and the series with which it would be based on- and with good reason, too: while original and at times emotional, the new animated Clone Wars series hasn't proved a hit with fans everywhere for the most part, with only some great revelations of plot-lines in the saga making up for a moral-based and otherwise predictable television show (though the appearance of Republic Commandos and Darth Maul's brother may liven up things in the third series, and every fan is waiting to know just how irritating apprentice Ahsoka Tano dies before Episode 3). But, thinking about it, the move is foreseeable, as most of us have wanted a LEGO version of the Clone War conflict ever since getting glimpses in the original LSW: The Video Game. Apparently, this new game will feature 20 levels, huge battle sequences between Clones, Jedi, Droids and Sith respectively, new space conflicts and the trademark humour the LEGO series has been known to inject into any franchise it touches. Given how well LEGO Harry Potter: The Video Game went down with critics (even getting a 9/10 here), its reasonable to get excited for LEGO Star Wars 3 simply because it seems can only go up from here. Don't hold your breath...yet!
