LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars (2011). Play online

Summary

LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars brings fresh mechanics to the series. The split-screen Story Swap lets two characters work on linked objectives in different locations, a twist that keeps both players busy. You can literally throw a lightsaber, haul droids or trigger combo pads for big environmental destructions. Space battles have been overhauled into a smooth, three‑dimensional dogfight where you pilot ships and then hop out to continue on foot.

The hub world now ships you between a Republic Cruiser named the Resolute and the Separatist flagship Invisible Hand, and both act as marketplaces for unlocking new characters. Large‑scale ground assaults let you command waves of clone troopers against droid forces, echoing real‑time strategy vibes—though this deep army control is trimmed for the DS version. The handheld iteration still offers exclusive characters and quirky minigames, giving a compact but playful taste of the console experience.

Storyline

LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars (often just called LEGO Star Wars III) pulls its story straight from the animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars and a handful of episodes from the series’ first two seasons. The game skips spoken dialogue, opting for visual storytelling and a healthy dose of humor that riffs on the source material. Its opening prologue recreates the Geonosian Arena battle seen in Attack of the Clones, setting the tone for the action‑packed adventure. Throughout the levels, familiar characters and locations appear, but the playful LEGO twist keeps the narrative light‑hearted and accessible. Fans get a nostalgic ride through the Clone Wars saga, all wrapped in the series’ trademark comedic style.
