    Does it hold it's weight today? Or did it even hold it back when it was first released?

    I have no idea what triggered this, but as a kid sometimes I could take control of characters during cutscenes. I would kill the other characters and end up soft locking the game. So much similar shit like that in this game. I hadnt ever owned a truly bad video game as a kid before this one, I could say that this game introduced me to disapointment in some ways

      To trigger this, you tap the icon (during Free Play) and then keep tapping it while pressing the direction you want to go on the D-pad. If you want to fully move around, pause the game, go to extras, enable an extra that will make the screen go black and reset the game, and then start moving around! If you use the Emperor and shock the characters, the game will crash.

    The greatest thing for me as a kid was, that in the Sarlac Level you could glitch your characters into sliding infinitely on the edge of the ship for long enough, so that after your death you would spawn back on the edge, unable to move, doomed to die. So you just had to restart the entire game...

      I remember a glitch that occurred in the final level, the one where you fight the Emperor. There's a Minikit in the level that I couldn't access despite using the Minikit Detector cheat to show me where it was, thus, making the game impossible to 100% complete. There are countless other glitches that I vaguely remember from the game, but I decided to share this one because it stood out to me the most.
      At least the character creator was pretty fun.

There’s no force no double jump no zip lines, you don’t even have a weapon. And any objects of interest are so far away that most of the gameplay is running in an empty desert. It’s like a fever dream

    When I played, I remember multiple bugs.
    If you enter a level starting door, pick freeplay and leave, you'll have the freeplay character menu in the cantina, therefore letting you switch to all characters as you please.
    The Sarlacc pit level had no background. It was just completely black. I thought that was how they designed it.
    At the end of the game, if you force choke Palpatine while he's floating in the middle of the room, he won't lose hearts, but he'll continue to float up but not back down. Basically, he'll ascend off screen, making it impossible to damage him, forcing you to restart.

    What I think is interesting is that I’ve played the DS and console versions of Lego Starwars, Lego Batman, and Lego Indiana Jones, which we’re all developed by Tt. While the Console versions are objectively better, and I’ve had fun replaying them, the DS versions fill me with a colossal wave of Nostalgia. I’ve lost both the DS versions of Batman and Starwars II, and what I would do to have them back. DS games are so nostalgic to me. The Lego games, a game called Zubo, and the Pokémon games are just so fun to me.

    I remember when I tried to play this on many car rides, and one thing that infuriated me was how it was frequently impossible to complete the last Empire Strikes Back level; Sometimes, doors just wouldn't open when you walked towards them. I did like the extras options for the camera views and so on, but that was about it. I also got it to soft lock during some cutscenes and at least once, I got a speeder to clip out of bounds. Needless to say, I preferred the Wii version

I also remember getting stuck on that abysmal endor level, where you have to jump across the swinging logs on the ewok tree top villages. That and there was random level where you were walking around tatooine as leia and salacious crumb I think, and you could pull switches to turn into a huge upscaled version of your character for some reason but there was no way to beat the level. Shit, I really want to play it again now, thanks for the nostalgia

    @legodesigner2681 4 года назад +3

    So... I played this game when I was young, and to this day (how crappy the game actually is) I find this to be one hell of an enjoyable game. I really liked the way they handled the character creator with the drag and drop system. And I feel like the many glitches you can discover is one of the reasons why I do still enjoy playing it from time to time. That aside though, I was literally not able to complete the game with 100%. Not because I never actually tried, but because my copy of the game is impossible to complete, as:
    1. The endor speeder level should contain 10 collectible minikits, through which you unlock the AT-ST walker, but one of the minikits is literally unreachable (even when you look for it with the minikit detector, it points you to a wall between 2 level sections), which means I can never unlock the AT-ST walker without cheat codes.
    2. The final level, where you have to fight darth sidious, will never unlock free play. No matter how many times I play the level that comes before the final battle, the level in the middle of the hall of the final episode just always keeps saying ????, and cannot be accessed.
    Some other things I experienced in the game, I always wondered if other people also experienced (glitches and such):
    1. Unlocking the "wacky blasters" extra from the cantina shop doesn't actually do anything when I purchase it. It was until I used cheat codes that I found out that there is a wide variety of weird weapons you should be able to use in the custom character creator such as: A walky talky, a mug, the wacky blaster from the icon (which you see when purchasing the extra), a broom, and many coloured lightsabers like the black, white, pink, and rainbow lightsaber.
    2. clonetrooper346 might have mentioned what I am trying to say as well (earlier in the comments), but I once had a character walking around in the cantina that surpassed all of the laws the game has around custom character creation with a droid body. It had the classic lego head, body of IG-88 (droid body), a red cap, a red cape, and was holding a rainbow lightsaber. His icon was a zoomed in version of a yellow smiling LEGO head with what I suppose was 2 letters above it. Let me make this clear about the rules of custom characters: The droid body cannot use a lightsaber (as it would literally clip through his sideways hand), nor can it wear a cape (while I don't know why they made this choice). I haven't seen that chacter ever since that one encounter.
    3. I find it funny how some game mechanics just don't make any sense. For example: The Han Solo leg parts give your charcter the ability to do a combat roll (dengar can also do this), after which you can shoot a burst of bullets. The game also has a version of Luke when he was training with Yoda, but this charcter also has the Han Solo pants. This gives him the ability to do a combat roll with a lightsaber, and literally FIRE BULLETS out of his lightsaber handle when he finishes the roll. This is not limited to this character though, since the game treats spears and other melee weapons like lightsabers as well, you can do this with those items as well on a custom character.
    4. This glitch I found just by mere chance: when you create a character with the droid body (I know, this body again), you cannot use heads that change the shape of the character's body (like chewbacca's head, and a gamorrian guard's head). These heads will be locked when you have the droid body on your charcter, but when you save a character and re-enter the character creator, any heads that were locked and are visible on the first page of the editor menu, will not have this lock on them. Since chewbacca's head is on the first page, you can actually select his head and put it on the body. What happens next is that the body will turn into the shape that a regular body piece would with the chewbacca head, but with a weird glitchy texture on it. His animations are just like when he usually would have on a normal body (so not the droid animations), but when you hold fire to activate the special fire ability the droid body has, he transforms into a chubby droid as long as you keep holding fire. It is really worth trying out.
    Somewhat of a long comment, but I had so much fun playing this game, I had to share some of my experiences

    The Sandbox mode always managed to creep me out as a kid. It was so empty and confusing... and since I was new to games I had no idea what the sandbox was even for, or how to collect the minikits in it. Did they even put those minikits in the sandbox? I have so many questions yet there are so few answers on the web.
    Even though this game was a huge part of my childhood there's very little info on it!
    Memorable glitches or problems:
    -falling into the huge pit in the Episode 4 Death Star level in free play mode, and not dying or being able to climb out. This required a restart.
    -Missing a minikit in the same level, not sure how but it wouldn't spawn in free play mode
    -also the Endor level (non vehicle) also had its own set of glitches or oddities
    -Final duel with the Emperor having glitches, sometimes freezing, and also missing a minikit in free play.
    I had to use cheat codes to unlock the missing bounty hunters, and the game would also freeze a LOT during single card multiplayer depending on the bounty hunters used. Sadly Greedo was the only available hunter for other players there too.
    There were probably more but the custom characters and all the fun extra modes made up for it. Haunted masterpiece.

I tried really hard to get back to that area but I could never find it again, it was like I'd somehow managed to glitch myself into a developer testing area or something

    I remember this as a kid, it was so glitchy! I enjoyed it because it was Star Wars, but it could be a very annoying game.
    I remember if you played the Emperor and used lightning on characters, their models would swap back and forth between them and a skeleton.
    Doing this on the little laughing creature that was by Jabba would crash the game the moment the model would swap, the frame would freeze and the last tone of the music would drone on as the lightning sound effect would continue.

    I remember having this game, and I specifically remember that if you're in the cantina hub playing as palpatine and you force lightning salacious crumb the game will just crash.

    This was my first LEGO Star Wars game. I then moved on to the Complete Saga and loved it. I'd like to play this one again for nostalgia

    I have really fond memories of this version of the game as a Kid but my goodness is it broken.

    This game was a masterpiece in 7 year old me's eyes.

    I had this and remember absolutely no issues with it, although it was about 10 years ago so who knows
    Damn I am getting some wild nostalgia from this tho, seeing the intro with the logos and that level with the laser room blew my mind omg. More connection to this than TCS, as I didn't have that on my wii and only played it at friends houses.
