LucasArts — busy with other projects — had deferred publishing of "Lego Star Wars" to Eidos Interactive, but regained the "necessary resources" to publish its sequel alongside TT Games Publishing. "Lego Star Wars II" was created for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Xbox, GameCube, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance (GBA), Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable (PSP), and Xbox 360.
