LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is the third game in the LEGO Star Wars series, bringing TT Games' traditional slapstick LEGO humor to the Clone Wars era of the saga. A set of character data for four Today Show hosts remains mostly intact. The characters are Al Roker, Ann Curry, Matt Lauer, and Meredith Vieira. Despite being blanked out, their icon files still remain in the game. There are also custom upper body textures for each of the hosts, as well as glasses for Al. The rest of their bodies use generic colors and faces. This is an example of how the characters are referenced in the game files.DAT is a text file called chars.txt. This has all the characters listed that are used in the game, as well as two characters called Dummy_1 and Dummy_2.
There are files for these two characters listed stored in the droids folder.

He is extremely rare, due to only 5000 being made.
Mr. Gold is almost completely golden. He has a gold top hat, a gold face, a gold torso that looks like a tuxedo, and gold legs. His hands are the only things not being gold, which are White.Do not modify it. “I dare say it's your lucky day!” Rumor has it that somewhere out there is a very special Minifigure known as Mr. Gold. Shining and golden from the top of his tall top hat to the tips of his toes, he may be discovered in all sorts of unexpected places, but he never seems to turn up exactly when and where you’re looking for him. According to legend, Mr. Gold will bring you luck if you happen to spot him… or is it that you’ll need to have a lot of luck to find him? Either way, everybody wants to find the mysterious Golden Minifigure – but only a fortunate few will succeed!

YouTubers thefourmonkeys, who specialize in stop-motion Lego films, put together the highlights of the Cubbies' miraculous Game 7 in a sweet little video published Tuesday. It's just over a minute long, but still manages to include not only the game highlights, but fan antics, including Ohio native LeBron James pulling off a Hulk-like muscle flex when his Cleveland Indians tied things up. Even the infamous rain delay is reproduced -- with what might possibly be a plain white paper towel representing the tarp.Cleveland faithful, you might want to pass on Lego for Playmobil or something for a few days. There's always next year. Say hi to Snapchat and Specs, your secret AR 'gateway drug' I went to Toys R Us recently to buy my son a Lego set for Hanukkah. Did you know a small box of Legos costs $60? Sixty bucks for 102 plastic blocks! In fact, I learned, Lego sets can sell for thousands of dollars. And despite these prices, Lego has about 70 percent of the construction-toy market. Why doesn't some competitor sell plastic blocks for less?
Lego's patents expired a while ago. How hard could it be to make a cheap knockoff? Luke, a 9-year-old Lego expert, set me straight. "They pay attention to so much detail," he said. "I never saw a Lego piece ... that couldn't go together with another one." Lego goes to great lengths to make its pieces really, really well, says David Robertson, who is working on a book about Lego. Inside every Lego brick, there are three numbers, which identify exactly which mold the brick came from and what position it was in in that mold. That way, if there's a bad brick somewhere, the company can go back and fix the mold. For decades this is what kept Lego ahead. It's actually pretty hard to make millions of plastic blocks that all fit together. But over the past several years, a competitor has emerged: Mega Bloks. Plastic blocks that look just like Legos, snap onto Legos and are often half the price. So Lego has tried other ways to stay ahead. The company tried to argue in court that no other company had the legal right to make stacking blocks that look like Legos.
"That didn't fly," Robertson says. "Every single country that Lego tried to make that argument in decided against Lego." But Lego did find a successful way to do something Mega Bloks could not copy: It bought the exclusive rights to Star Wars. If you want to build a Death Star out of plastic blocks, Lego is now your only option. The Star Wars blocks were wildly successful. So Lego kept going — it licensed Indiana Jones, Winnie the Pooh, Toy Story and Harry Potter. Sales of these products have been huge for Lego. More important, the experience has taught the company that what kids wanted to do with the blocks was tell stories. Lego makes or licenses the stories they want to tell. And kids know the difference. "If you were talking to a friend you wouldn't say, 'Oh my God, I just got a big set of Mega Bloks,' " Luke says. "When you say Legos they would probably be like, 'Awesome can we go to your house and play?' " Lego made almost $3.5 billion in revenue last year. Mega made a tenth of that.
