It kind of goes without saying that those of us anticipating the release of LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars are rather excited to see episodes of our favorite show in LEGO form. Of course with the LEGO Star Wars video games, the main story is only a fraction of the fun. Unlocking new characters after acquiring copious amounts of LEGO studs ends up monopolizing the majority of our time. And we love it!

That all being said, the good folks over at LucasArts were nice enough to provide TFN with an exclusive peak at a couple of unlockable characters for the upcoming game: Han and Leia!

Han ? NERFHERDER
Leia ? YOURWORSHIPFULNESS

More character images will be revealed in the coming weeks. Consider this reveal to be our little Valentine's Day card from LucasArts and LEGO SW III: TCW.
