Did a wee 100% replay, there are some elements that have aged quite poorly most notable the Podrace and the atrocious Gunship Cavalry. Apart from that there are actually elements that are BETTER than TCS, which is quite cool.
This was super fun and my first experience with Lego games, I can't help but score it highly but not high enough for five stars, something you'lll see soon en--gtrg- sorry my Cat Kaori just decided to type a bit. I am not editing it out, screw you.
People often joke about this game and only regarding it as “Good nostalgia” but man this game is so much more than good nostalgia, it’s straight up good game design from licensed game, that’s right if anything Lego Star Wars is the most licensed of all licensed games I mean Lego and Star Wars mixed together? Those two brands were the biggest thing in the early 2000s and I am SO RELIEVED that they actually put efforts into it.
Most people either don’t know or forgot this version existed, when we talk about Lego Star Wars we talk about The complete saga, that’s the big boy of the franchise and it really made me think “Is the original really worth coming back to?”
Andddd… No not really, but you should if you are curious.
Unfortunately there’s nothing special waiting for you in this version, it does have some cool features like Dex’s Dinner from Episode 2 as the HUB, the Cantina is better but it’s a nice breathe of fresh air with The original trilogy and The complete Saga both using the Cantina. We got a totally unique version of Yoda which is OP as hell for some reason, they really debuffed him in the Complete Saga and it really bums me out. And we got a secret Tantive IV stage but that doesn’t really matter when The complete saga already has the entirety of Episode IV does it? It was a sweet touch anyway.
So far it only seems like we are missing out on features but unfortunately it does have some bad, nothing terrible, but bad nonetheless compared to the remastered version of the complete saga.
The graphics are rough, it’s clear they either didn’t have time or couldn’t optimise the game enough to have higher polygon models and high quality textures.
The stages can be pretty tedious or boring at times, they lack alternate path or anything to shake up a replay, they tried to fix this in the Complete Saga but playing the Prequel trilogy and the Original Trilogy back to back it’s easy to tell that the latter are so much better.
The minikits, while iconic and fun to collect, really lacks variety in their placements, you can tell they just randomly scattered them around without really putting the characters abilities into play, it’s often just “Woah look at this out of reach Minikit, you can’t get it now come back with R2D2 or Jar Jar Binks!”, The Complete Saga fixed this by adding more characters ability taken from Lego Star Wars 2 and mixing them up in the original stage by adding new bonus rooms and such to make the game more fun to replay on Freeplay and just explore all of these funky bonus rooms that we all love.
Again with the Minikits, they are completely useless, you get nothing except coins I believe when getting all 10 of them, like there’s no incentive to go back and play the stages again other than the game itself being good so good job on that part TTGames, but imagine if the stages were fun to replay AND you’d get cool shit for completing them! Yeah I know I’m just talking about the complete saga yet again but this is one of the best Remaster ever made, it fixes so much from the original games, it’s great!
Red bricks are nowhere to be seen, the extras are here but only the generic worthless funny crap that cost a lot of studs compared to the characters for some reason, guess it might be good to quickly talk about the economy of this game because it’s really different from the future games, since this game doesn’t have x2,x4,… multiplication bricks it’s kind of a bitch to obtain studs, so the prices for characters are hella cheap compared to the complete saga! funnily enough the game tracks your stud count and not a completion percentage like the other games, making the minikits even more worthless.
The lack of bonus stages in general is kinda disappointing, I know I’m asking a lot from a licensed games but the future games spoiled me so much with bonus crap I just can’t not ask for more, hell, if you ask for more it just means the game is good.
There’s one thing that tingles me about secret stage, does unlocking it via the stud counter in each stage a good game design since if you are being throughout while playing the stages for the first time it means you can instantly unlock the secret stage, but wouldn’t it be more gratifying to unlock it after collecting all of the minikits? Not forcing the player to do things they don’t want to do to unlock cool rewards or force the players to do things they may not want to do but overall makes the game more gratifying to complete while giving more depth to specific features, I’m curious to know your opinion on that.
I could go on for hours but that would be beating a dead horse, there’s unfortunately not many reason to come back to this version other than actual nostalgia for this specific version, otherwise just go with the complete saga.
I really want to give this game a higher score but it’s just a silly licensed game, the game is pretty short and the stages aren’t all that great at times, this is a certified banger for anyone who likes Lego and Star Wars but again, just go with the Complete Saga.

Had a lot of fun with friends as a kid
A great game to grind as a kid. Loved playing co-op with a friend!
literally my first game i thjink (at least the first one i could actually play conciously) so i am shackled by nostalgia to not rip into it too much, or give it a low score. It is obviously the least polished Lego Game of all time unless you count that bionicle game but i dont even know whats going on with all that lol but by virtue of being of being so bare its similar to playing in the lego game primordial soup, just raw ideas that get tempered slowly over the next games. worth coming back to just for that particular thought experiment I guess
