Video game publishers and developers Eidos and Giant Interactive Entertainment Ltd. have acquired distribution rights to LEGO Star Wars for all countries except Japan. The game will be released in April 2005 for PlayStation 2, Xbox, PC and Game Boy Advance.

Under an agreement between LucasArts and Giant Interactive, LEGO Star Wars is currently being developed by Traveller’s Tales for PlayStation2, Xbox and PC. Amaze Ent. is developing the Game Boy Advance version.
