This was one of the first games that took a popular movie, and replaced the characters with Lego people. They have since produced similar games with Indiana Jones and Batman. I think the reason that these games are so popular is the wide appeal. The cute Lego characters appeal to young kids, while the cheeky humour and nods to the film appeal to an older audience. This game really has something for everyone. You start the game in Dexters Diner, as the Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn. As you proceed through the game and encounter new characters, you will be able to play as them, too. In the diner are 3 doors, which correspond to the 3 movies in the trilogy. To begin ...  Read the complete review

Still, its odd that any officially authorised product would reveal so much about the final days of Anakin Skywalker, so far ahead of the film. Each episode is split into chapters, each re-creating different parts from the ...  Read the complete review

Not particularly liking Star Wars and finding the movies very overrated, purchasing this game came as a bit of a shock but the excellent demo convinced me. The demo showed a game so simple, so charming that it was a must-buy for me. The LEGO based graphics put a smile on your face with the type of charm that appeals to kids and adults. The game follows the plot of three of the Star Wars movies, and you can play as a variety of Star Wars characters in LEGO form (both major and minor), many with different abilities that allows you to make use of them in different ways. It's the type of game that you can complete fast though can play as a slower pace to truly appreciate. ...  Read the complete review

The union of my favourite childhood toy - Lego - and the ultimate in cinematic experiences - Star Wars - simply demanded ...  Read the complete review
