I'm mostly amused by the fact that the voice actors from the animated series are doing the "voice over" for their characters in this game. :P

The bigger these games get the more they just look like Dynasty Warriors to me.

I'm very fond of these LEGO games but the so called "voice over" in this game is just horrible. The silent "conversations" are a big part of the LEGO games' charm...and now they're gone :/

Looks good. Although, Yoda looks stupid. His eyes are all buggy and weird like in the cartoons. 
 
Still, looks fun. Will probably buy it once it drops to $40 or so.

The conversations are still silent, they just got the actual voice actors in to do the grunts and funny noises that they've used in all of the Lego games.

I'd say because the Lego Star Wars games have sold insanely well and the Clone Wars TV show has also been very popular.  Yes, it's another Lego game, but hey, they're fun to play.  No different from the 13th Call of Duty game that will be released later this year.

Is the title of this video a reference to Spaceballs? If it isn't, I will pretend that it is regardless.

General Grievous is dumb in a good way. He's like the Cobra Commander of the Star Wars universe.

The voiceover in Lego Harry Potter is pretty awful.  Sorta wished everyone was silent.

Yes, they've sold far better.  Probably helped by a much wider appeal and the fact the games were released on every platform under the sun.

Well the gameplay looks good, but I'm still kind of burnt out on Lego games. Plus the Clone Wars doesn't really interest me; unless its that drawn animated one that cartoon network did. That shit was awesome!

I... don't get it.  Why do we need a third one?
 
Oh, I see, it's based on the cartoon that for all intents and purposes should not even exist.  Carry on.

I like you because you properly stated the phrase "all intents and purposes." For all humanity, I thank you.

Those giant battles look kind of cool and the last Lego game I bought was Lego Star Wars II in 2006 so I'm ready for a new one if it's on sale or w/e. Also I hear the Clone Wars cartoon is suprisingly decent.
