LEGO Star Wars Video Game

_xeno_ writes "LEGO, everyone's favorite plastic building block company, is creating a Star Wars video game. Yes, that's right. A video game based on the LEGO Star Wars sets, which are of course based on Star Wars. GameSpot has a preview of the game. It covers the three prequel movies, allowing you to play through levels containing LEGO friends and allies. At first you can only play with characters appropriate for the level, but you can unlock other characters to swap in as you play through the game. Because the world is based on LEGO blocks, there are puzzles that involve the creation of LEGO structures to bridge gaps. It's scheduled for an April release, just before "Revenge of the Sith" opens." I guess this would be an...ahem...puzzle game.

Of course, if you'd bother to read the site you linked to, you would know these are not Official LEGO Sets that were actually sold in stores, but mainly an artist's design that was made in VERY limited quantity. And they now reside in a museam. They even have a quote from the LEGO group :

According to a press release issued by the LEGO Group, "If the had described his ultimate project to us in advance, he naturally would not have received a single LEGO element from us!"

So yes, you are completely overreacting. Buying LEGO knights and Star Wars set won't expose your children to this kind of material.
