Cartoon Network's Clone Wars Video Game Creator lets fans design their own games.If there aren't already enough Star Wars video games for your liking, you can make your own with Cartoon Network's Star Wars: The Clone Wars Game Creator.

With the animated action show continuing to draw big numbers on Friday nights, its home network is serving up a chance for fans to build their own Clone Wars game and share it with other gamers.

According to the network, these game creators aren't a stunt to generate TV show buzz. The Ben 10: Alien Force Game Creator posted more than 630 million game plays since it went live a year ago, with more than 4.6 million games created by online visitors.

Once fans open their game creator, they choose their character (Anakin Skywalker, Captain Rex or Cad Bane) and their vehicle (AT-TE, AT-RT or Speeder), allowing nine different combinations of character abilities and vehicle powers.

Fans can then customize how many enemy ships, blaster turrets, force fields and enemy bases to attack. When finished, the game can then be sent over to CartoonNetwork.com's game gallery for other fans to play.

While no one is going to mistake the resulting games with the latest titles on PS3 or Xbox, they're entertaining enough to give younger fans a little sense of achievement after watching a galaxy far, far away.
