this most often takes precedence in my mind over the actual prequels
this shit was like crack when i was a kid
It's a classic, but honestly not really worth revisiting just on its own since Complete Saga exists.
That said, there are a few minor things to note here:
-Darth Vader has Anakin's moveset where he's flipping around like a maniac. In the other games he has his own moves. So that's cool.
-Yoda has the little hovering car thingy instead of jumping. Makes him way faster. I don't know why they never brought it back.
-This particular game was the most fun to get into massive brawls with outside the catina. Maybe it was just the design of the map but it was the most enjoyable to bash people around and flip around.
Otherwise, it's just the first game and it's 3 episodes, with the bonus level being Darth Vader. Great to this day, it's just that this experience is bundled into Complete Saga.

LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game is a delightful romp through the events of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, told with LEGO's signature charm. This action-platformer lets you play as a huge roster of iconic characters, solving light puzzles and smashing LEGO structures for studs galore. While the combat is simple and the game isn't overly challenging, the joyful mix of LEGO and Star Wars provides nostalgic fun for fans of all ages.
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.
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.

A great game to grind as a kid. Loved playing co-op with a friend!
A Way Out got such fanfare for its shifting of gameplay in its final moments... EVERYONE IGNORES THE BLUEPRINT!
Good but not the best
lo jugué en psp pero no deja ponerlo xd
Fiz 100% desse jogo com meu primo, não vou mentir que o maior problema dele é que uma hora ele acaba.
As much as I want to give this a higher review for nostalgia's sake some of the levels in this are absolutely horrible. Episode II's Gunship levels and the Podrace level on multiplayer are neigh impossible. Still a blast from the past though, so I'll give it some leeway.
Good, but not complete saga good.
me lembro de ter me divertindo bastante com esse game quando criança, antes de fato eu concluir o game, cheguei a jogar na casa do meu melhor amigo e após uns anos, finalmente peguei o jogo para zerar, bons tempos
"WAAAAAaAAAAaaaooooo!!" - Lego R2D2
This was one of the first games I played. Though many people will just go with The Complete Saga (and for good reason), the original LEGO Star Wars game is still fun to play and a total treat. I guess my only problems with the game are the on-rails vehicle segments (that Episode II gunship segment being the worst offender) but that's really it.
YEAAAA
An absolute classic here, and honestly I prefer it to the complete saga. Quick, tight-level design and the signature Lego game charm are at their best here. The level design here is well done and I prefer its auto scrollers for vehicles. Podrace is still too hard though.
Maneira certa de acompanhar star wars
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.
Had a lot of fun with friends as a kid
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
muito bom, era incrível fazer os combos com os jedi, lembro de dedicar muitas horas para pegar o 100% mas nunca senti que era cansativo. me pergunto se esse game ainda funciona bem depois do lançamento de the complete saga
If they delete Jar Jar I'll add the last star
One of the first games I remember playing. So much time spent in co-op with my brother. So many fun memories. A truly formative game, it shaped my interests for the rest of my life. Of course these days I just go back to The Complete Saga, but this one is still absolutely special.
It was also released the year I was born.

cheguei a fazer 100% na época que joguei, muito divertido de jogar com alguém esse aqui, principalmente quando a gente começava a ficar se matando com o sabre de luz kkkkkk
Literally had spoilers for Episode 3 BEFORE the film was released in cinemas.
Eu cheguei a zerar esse jogo em coop split screen (apesar de não ser exatamente uma tela cortada ao meio mas sim compartilhada) com um amigo meu de infância. Saudades do meu mano. O jogo em si é ótimo, padrão LEGO
If I could kill the gunship and the podrace levels. i would. also the fucking jedi temple level
melhor jogo já feito
