According to IGN and numerous other sites, the LEGO Indiana Jones game that is about to come out features an advertisement for The Clone Wars video game for the Nintendo Wii and the DS to come out in the fall of 2008. The ad also displays a website of www.CloneWarsGame.com that, at this point, just re-directs you over to starwars.com. Click here for the full article with a picture of the ad.
