The title is scheduled to begin shipping Monday, August 22nd: "For the first time ever, one of the world’s most successful film series meets one of the world’s favorite toys in an epic new video game. LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game features a game world and characters built from virtual LEGO bricks that allows gamers to play through the whole story of Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith." It will ship for $30 and requries Mac OS X 10.3.8 and a 1.2GHz G4/G5.

Gamers can play as more than 30 of their favorite Star Wars characters
through more than 18 levels and experience the entire storyline of the first
three movies in the Star Wars saga with plenty of action, puzzles, and
"unique Star Wars humor." Additionally, players can enjoy a two-player
cooperative play mode that lets a second player drop in and out of the
action without interrupting gameplay.

Geonosis, to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn’s fateful fight with Darth
Maul, LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game provides an immersive Star Wars
experience, with the added unique take on the Star Wars fantasy that the
LEGO toy line brings."
