Lucasarts is working on yet another Star Wars title for Nintendo DS and Wii: Star Wars: Clone Wars, based on the upcoming animation.


The back of the user manual of LEGO Indiana Jones spills the bean this time: Lucasarts is working on a new Star Wars title for the Nintendo DS and Wii, called Star Wars: Clone Wars.

Star Wars: Clone Wars is an upcoming CGI animated science fiction film (and series), set for a release later this year. The Clone Wars takes place between Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi continue their journey across the galaxy amid the Clone Wars, meeting up with familiar villains, such as Count Dooku, General Grievous and Asajj Ventress. A new major role in the film is Ahsoka Tano, Anakin's young female apprentice.

The Clone Wars are raging between the Separatists and the Galactic Republic. When Jabba the Hutt's son is taken by a group of renegades, two Jedi are summoned to investigate. Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi depart in search of answers: where is the Hutt's son, and who is controlling this mysterious renegade group? Yoda sends Ahsoka Tano along as Anakin's apprentice, Obi-Wan duels Asajj Ventress, and Anakin finds himself dueling Count Dooku once more. Meanwhile, the Sith plan to instigate a three-way war, including the Hutts.

Back in 2002 and 2003, versions of Clone Wars for Xbox, PlayStation 2 and GameCube had already been released. The game in question here will be a completely different game from that.
