In Star Wars® Pit Droids®, both kids who love math and those who don't will enjoy the challenging logic puzzles in this tile-based game. Increasingly complex puzzles engage students in sophisticated thinking as they explore the mathematics of attributes, geometry, sets and networks, while testing out multiple solutions to problems. Students can even build their own puzzles using a sophisticated puzzle design laboratory.
Will more games be dusted off from the archives and given a new lease of life on iPhones & iPads? We can only hope. Will they all tie in with The Phantom Menace? We can only hope not.
Oh, also 'Hai everyone'!

Hey, that crappy looking game I had no interest in over a decade ago is out again! Now I can have no interest in it again.
Out of every Star Wars title Lucas has access too, why in the hell would you pick this one to rerelease to promote a movie. Especially when said movie is everyone's least favorite of the whole series.
Pit Droids is fun, and a perfect distraction on an iPhone or iPad. And probably not too difficult to port. I assume you haven't actually played it?
What game re-release would you have picked to tie in with the Phantom Menace re-release?
Id go with pod racer,
And since I wasn't interested in improving my math skills to impress mom at the time of that movies release, I would most definitely have not played a game released as Edutainment.
Pod Racer was by no means great, but I probably would have bought that one on the App store

It's like they're trying to remind us of how much we disliked it, and why we disliked it. The promotions team at Lucas must be awesome.
Or at least they should put The Phantom Menace PSX on the PSN.
