Released last week in conjunction with the debut of the unadulterated original Star Wars trilogy on DVD, LucasArts’ LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy has sold 1.1 million units worldwide. Available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, PC, PSP, DS and Game Boy Advance, the game allows players to experience events from Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi with a comedic, snap-together LEGO twist.
After the first LEGO Star Wars game, published by Eidos Interactive, became one of the surprise hits of 2005, LucasArts decided to take the franchise under its own wing. Like many other game companies, the shop that George built is tightening its belt by producing fewer games and focusing on core properties. With last week’s phenomenal debut, it’s a safe bet that fans will be getting more LEGO Star Wars in the future.
