Lego Star Wars is a Lego theme that incorporates the Star Wars saga. The first Lego Star Wars, released in 1999, included model 7140, the first Lego X-Wing. Star Wars was the first intellectual property to be licensed in Lego Group history. The first few sets based on the original trilogy were released in 1999, coinciding with the release of The Phantom Menace. Sets based on the prequel trilogy(Episodes I to III) of Star Wars would follow, starting with Episode I. As each new film in the prequel trilogy neared its release date, Lego issued new models of ships and scenes in those films, as well as additional sets from the original trilogy. Originally it was only licensed from 1999–2008, but the Lego Group recently extended the license with Lucasfilm Ltd. to 2011. There is a chance the Lego Company will extend the license again before the end of 2011. There has been a rumour that the LEGO Star Wars theme license has been extended to 2016. The brand has spawned three major video game releases, developed by Traveller's Tales. Lego has produced models which coincided with The Clone Wars, which was released early in 2008.
