LEGO Star Wars III - The Clone Wars

LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is Traveller's Tales' adaptation of the animated Clone Wars television series and the era it covers, returning to the LEGO Star Wars formula with substantially expanded mechanics. The story spans the full arc of the Clone Wars era across more than 20 story missions and 40 bonus levels, with the franchise's signature mix of stud collection, character swapping and tongue-in-cheek humour applied to the Republic-versus-Separatist material rather than the original or prequel film trilogies.

The biggest mechanical addition is large-scale ground combat. For the first time in the LEGO Star Wars line, you can command battalions of clone troopers against the droid army, building bases, deploying vehicles and calling in reinforcements as a strategic layer above the standard character-level platforming. SceneSwap lets you control multiple teams in separate locations simultaneously, switching between them to coordinate cooperative objectives — a structural innovation that single-player and co-op modes both make extensive use of.

Boss battles are now major set pieces against creatures pulled from the show — Gor, the Zillo Beast, and other oversized opponents — and lightsaber combat has been expanded with cutting, throwing and climbing abilities that change traversal and combat puzzle design. Multi-layered space battles, 16 star systems to explore, new clone weapons and capital ships like the Resolute and the Malevolence, plus a wider Force-power toolkit, expand the playable scope considerably. The dynamic split-screen for local co-op is improved over previous entries, and classic-trilogy characters appear as unlockables for fans of the older line.
