I hate to leave the game at 99.6%, but I just couldn't figure out how to unlock the last two characters. When I searched online and found out you need to convert all systems to Republic or Separatist and then all back to the other – which means replaying 24 ground battles – I quit. There are a lot of admirable and fun new things in this iteration of the LEGO video game series, but those damn ground battles are the worst. I mean, a couple of them would've been a nice change to the puzzle-based levels, but why stuff the game with those irritating, repetitive monstrosities? In replaying all LEGO games in order, this was the first I had never played before (so I was very excited beforehand), but it felt more of a chore than a pleasure to try to master it. It goes without saying that it's a great disappointment that I lost my motivation to do so this close to 100%.
