FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lucas Learning Ltd. Releases
Star Wars™: Pit Droids™ 

With the commercial success of Star Wars DroidWorks™ and the critical success of Star Wars: Episode I - The Gungan Frontier™ already established, Lucas Learning Ltd. and Ubi Soft are pleased to announce the second in the Episode I range, Pit Droids. 

Pit Droids is a challenging, irresistible, and fast-paced Star Wars: Episode I puzzle game that has that unquantifiable something that encourages you to have ‘just-one-more-go’. Surly junk trader Watto invites players of all ages to puzzle over 300 challenges set across 6 stunningly realistic environments on the desert planet of Tatooine. The relentless Podrace pit droids come in a variety of colours and models and march under their own power. Without the player’s guidance (and judicious use of gates, flow maps and selective barriers), they march straight off the edge of the world! By directing them towards appropriate goals, players advance from location to location, working their way up to the Podrace Arena at Mos Espa. Enter into Watto’s shop, the open desert, a Podracer hangar and the interior of a transport ship where players can compete for high scores, play random puzzles one at a time, or receive a guided tour from C-3PO himself! An added bonus is that the game features a puzzle maker that allows players to create their own Pit Droids puzzles - and send them as an email attachment - to challenge their friends.
