LEGO Star Wars II-All the Characters in the Galaxy

The Official Star Wars Site talks about LEGO Star Wars II. With so much credit given to LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game's creative design and charmingly unique premise (and rightfully so), it's easy to forget one of the coolest components to its success -- characters. Lots of them. More than 50 altogether. In fact, you may have found yourself playing through the game multiple times just to unlock everyone from favorites like Darth Maul and General Grievous to more obscure denizens of the Star Wars universe such as Luminara Unduli and a PK droid.

Coming this fall for multiple platforms*, LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy further celebrates the characters of the Star Wars galaxy. In addition to providing another 50-plus humans, droids and exotic aliens to unlock, the game also places a greater emphasis on unique character actions. Also, console and Windows versions of LEGO Star Wars II allow you to import unlocked characters from the first game with a save file. It doesn't take Yoda's wisdom to realize that equates to more than 100 characters available for Free Play mode -- not to mention the millions more you can create yourself via the game's unique customization system.

For more information, be sure to read the entire article!
