LEGO Star Wars:
The Yoda Chronicles-Menace of the Sith |
The Official Star Wars Site has announced that LEGO Jedi, Sith,
and clones return! LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles, a three-part animated
special filled with action and humor, continues with "Menace of the Sith,"
premiering on Wednesday, September 4 at 8:00 p.m. (ET, PT) on Cartoon
Network.
In "Menace of the Sith," Darth Sidious shows off the new Sith
clone, JEK 14, an extremely powerful weapon of the dark side. However, JEK has a
mind of his own and wants to be his own master. It's up to Yoda and the Jedi to
stop the Sith -- and to try and bring JEK 14 to the side of good.
The
Yoda Chronicles is written by Michael Price (The Simpsons) and produced by Wil
Film, and marks the first time entirely new Star Wars characters and vehicles
have been created specifically for LEGO Star Wars.
