More shots of Lego Star Wars II

How does Darth Vader reveal that he's Luke Skywalker's father when he can't talk? That was the question posed by publisher LucasArts when they sent over new screens of Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. Will the mute, plastic Dark Lord of the Sith use charts? Puppets? Obscene pantomime? They wouldn't tell us the answer, but they promise it'll be hilarious.

Whatever the case, the new screens show off the dramatic father-son battle that leads up to that moment, as well as other tidbits from the Empire Strikes Back portion of the game. Just click the Images tab above to witness Lando's kung-fu kick, the Millennium Falcon's escape from that giant worm-creature and (sigh) more pictures from the ice-planet Hoth.

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
