The original trilogy is coming to a Lego-themed video game near you this September, to coincide with the originals' release on DVD.

September 12th 2006 will be a date for geeks to rejoice on everywhere. Not only is the original trilogy being re-released on DVD with the original, un-enhanced editions but Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy is being released in America then too.

The action-packed sequel to one of the best-selling videogames of 2005 is filled with tongue-in-cheek humour, and combines the classic story of Star Wars with the endless customization of Lego to create a wholly unique gaming experience that puts an unexpectedly comical twist on the Star Wars universe. Players can "build and battle" their way through the galaxy, reliving (and sometimes reinventing) favorite moments from the Star Wars Trilogy.

The epic story, characters and action are all there, and for the first time players can build and ride their own Star Wars vehicles, then get on and off of them to explore the interactive galaxy as envisioned by Lego. True to the Lego experience, players can even customize their own Star Wars characters: It's the world's first opportunity to discover a Yodarth, a See-Chewpio or a Princess Obi-Wan Kejawa (or almost any variation imaginable).

Published by LucasArts and created by TT Games, Lego Star Wars II is slated for release across eight platforms, including Nintendo's GameCube, DS and Game Boy Advance.
