No one expected Lego Star Wars the video game to be such a slam dunk, but the most shocking thing about the Lego games was that they featured next to no voice acting. Now... they feature fully voiced scenes and dialogue ripped straight from the movies (Lego Avengers)... but hasn't some magic been lost in Lego Star Wars?
Featuring Obi-Wan, Luke, Anakin, Padme, Batman?! The Avengers and Doctor Who!

Darth Vader showing Luke a picture of himself and his wife is one of the greatest twists in cinema history!
@VIBIN JOTARO the force works in mysterious ways
@VIBIN JOTARO If he didn't believe him in the film, then he obviously didn't believe him in the game.
Honestly having Vader actually acknowledge his former life as Anakin really does bring the whole thing together in a nice way.
@VIBIN JOTARO I mean, it's really more for the player than the character. He might as well be facing the camera directly going "Remember him? You played the other game, right??"
It was LEGO Star Wars II, after all.
@VIBIN JOTARO ....
I loved being lego Leia and killing an entire army with bitch slaps. Never have I felt so powerful.
That's one of the only things I laughed with in TCS, one of the best ideas ever.
Every slap felt like it had real weight to it, it's awesome
I'm glad I'm not the only one who did this
I remember that lmao
I feel like this is also seen in battlefront 2
Another thing worth mentioning: the old "mumbling games" where equally easy to follow even if you didn't understand English as a kid!
true that, I personally really liked that as a kid
AND THAT IS A FACT!
Not to mention much cheaper to produce because you don’t need to pay voice actors in multiple languages.
When I started playing games, my reading ability was lacking, especially for words longer than 5 characters, so I could breeze through the lego games (Where you don't need to read a bunch of text to know where to go next), while I would get stuck on other games like Spyro 1 because I would just keep running around and the text was yelling at me to go to a specific point, but I didn't know because I couldn't understand it
@@mickys8065 I can kinda understand this bc of autism. Autism tends to be worse when you’re a kid and as a kid I never finished most of the games I played even though I was fluent in English
Let's not forget that Johnny Depp recorded his own grunts for Lego POTC. I love that so much
Of course he did 😅 that's epic
Did he? Because Jared Butler does a pretty accurate impression of Depp as Jack Sparrow since he played the character in Disney Infinity and Kingdom Hearts 3.
@@Drums_of_Liberation I've heard from multiple sources he did, feel like it's somewhat legit
@@Drums_of_Liberation sounds like something he would do. After all he’s known for dressing as jack in hospitals and the Disney world

Lego Vader with a family picture is the best comedy i have seen in my entire life, i always remember it and laugh
Especially how he’s pointing at Padme’s stomach like: „This was you as a fetus... Luke”
That was adorable, but i noticed an error, Vader didn't point to himself in the picture, so how did Luke know that Vader was his father? Nevertheless it's an adorable scene
I remember that well. And interestingly, I always found the final Vader and Luke scene to be kind of touching. Despite being Lego, something about it always got me...
@@AndrewAce. The part where vader's body fell into the shuttle after luke closed the shuttle door kills me every time LOL
I cried so many times as a kid
LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy was my first introduction to Star Wars at 8 years old. Part of the game's charm back then was that I didn't have to understand English to play it. This series will forever have a place in my heart.
Bro same!
Same as well!
I didnt even think of there being no language barrier, thats awesome
Me too, first video game I ever played
Exactly, the mumbles are a universal language, and humor that can never ever age. It's perfect for all ages and peoples, and that's why it's superior.
Lego SW is one of the only things we fans can all agree on without starting a debate.
@@amadeusleal1198 ikr this comment wasn't thought out completely
@@Round_Slinger wdym
?
Do you mean everyone can agree that they are great games?
I disagree
Given Skywalker Saga keeps getting delayed, I think a gruntable mode could happen, they've got the time and I imagine a LOT of people want it... Myself included. I like voice acting but yeah, grunts are the best way to make the game funny.
They should create a complete complete saga with everything
@@delusional3392 That’s what Skywalker Saga is lol
@@_Shay_ No as in like EVERYTHING, like having all of the classic levels with no voice acting, and then having all of the new lego stuff.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they delayed the game specifically *because* of the demand for a gruntable mode. The team has very much expressed that they want Skywalker Saga to be their magnum opus, and want to blow everyone away.
@@nerdletter3773 They can always release it after the game got released. Like a update or free dlc
One of the best uses of movie dialogue in a lego game for me is in the Lord of the Rings game. When Sam and Frodo reach the black gate and the Easterlings are marching into Mordor, they stop and knock at the gate bringing a stack of pizzas, to which the orcs' response is "Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!" It's probably my favorite gag in the game.
Also when they take frodo from the spider the one orc says "call the others" or so and the orc literally pulls out a phone
Or when Boromir dies
The scene where Aragon, Legolas, and Gimli talked to the Roherium and the horses were dancing around them in a circle had be dying XD
The corresponding Achievement/Trophy for reaching Mordor is equally great. “Achievement Unlocked: One Does Not Simply…”
Hear Hear, Amen!!!
I've never cried watching Vader's death in Return... but I did cry when Lego Luke kissed his hand and put in his father's head with sorrow making a "hiting glass" sound like the body is already cold.
If they include a mumble toggle, I'm definitely playing with that on.
Edit: Damn guys relax xD
What if that’s why they delayed it, I mean, it’s probably not, but still
they'd have to redo all the cutscenes in the game to do so, so I wouldn't hold your breath for it
I thought they already said they would
@@CorporalLoth so they essentially said they wasted money on something they actually KNEW we wouldn't like what the hell
@@CorporalLoth I never said I don't like voice actors and I'm aware they haven't been around for a while but I think it's silly how they decided against something that would be cheaper and in alot of people's eyes better
I think best compromise would be if lego games based on films would have grunts and lego games with completely new story (such as Batman or City undercover) would be fully voice overed with new dialogue.
Yes.
Or have a toggle at least
@@therunningranger4297 A "toggle" option would be expensive
And maybe they're incluiding it in the skywalker saga, and that may be a reason why it's getting delayed so much
Why it would be expensive and hard to make? Because cutscenes works with the dialogue, they would need to make 2 versions of each cutscene in case grunts are active or not
Nah
@@Deadpool-ts3tq not as hard if you think about it as coding is a bit hard for such a large game voice recording grunts is just grunting after the voice acting then add the feature that can take not as long cause no need to change the animation except for maybe like mouthing in animations

That is the most bullshit excuse, I’ve ever heard. LEGO Games removed voice acting, which was a part of LEGO Games from 1997-2004, And yet you guys are in denial, in fact, come to think of it, it seems like George Lucas would’ve still wanted voice acting, ether way.
@@ShockwaveFPSStudios denial of what? Who’s pretending earlier Lego games lacked voice acting? None of us care about those games either way

*Proceeds to commit vehicular manslaughter on a Jawa*
I get that voice acted Lego games have a bit of a poor reputation, but come on you can't just leave out Lego: Lord of the Rings like that. That game perfectly handled its voice acting without sacrificing that original Lego comedy, all while being true to the movies, and including some stuff from the original books. I love that game man
Well, that is because that game is no longer available. Warner Bros pulled it for sale.
LEGO Comedy, has been used in LEGO Games, Every LEGO Game, after LEGO Batman 2, handles Voice Acting Perfectly, in what I like to call the Golden Age, which lasted from 2012-2016. the only LEGO Games That doesn’t have good voice acting, are mostly the LEGO Games from 2017-2019, also known as the Dark Age.

@@themiband0598 It was given away for free and then pulled from all platforms for a while because of licenses, but it's back.
Actually the Clone Wars was BY FAR one of my favourites in the whole series. It still had the much loved grunts, yet featured a MUCH larger hub to walk through(a vast improvement over the original hub), and Since I hadn't watched the Clone Wars yet, I had a lot of fun going on new adventures with my friends and overall the mechanics were VERY interesting. You basically were on a GIANT Venator star destroyer, you could use the hyperdrive and actually fly to new planets, you could use the onboard turrets, you could even get into starfighters and fly around the ship, killing enemies, and even go to the enemy ship itself. But by far my favourite mechanic was the ability to Launch Ground Assaults on the ground and basically play a sort of map wars, where you would fight for Area Control with your favourite vehicles. There were even a bunch of missions with that, and overall it was VERY immersive.
That game was my first lego game and still on of my favs
I had Lega Star Wars 3 for my Wii back when I was a kid, and the fact that there were little cloning pods that allowed you to get the classic characters like Starkiller or Darth Vader were so amazing to me
I would absolutely love non-talking Lego remakes of great AAA games like Assassin's Creed, and Mass Effect etc
Assassins creed is currently with Megablox. Mass effect is possible.
That would be cool not gonna lie
Lego Dark Souls
Nah they take themselves super seriously because theyre edgy and too cool for legos
I wouldn't call Assasins Creed great but yeah
I will literally cry tears of joy if skywalker saga has a mumble option
I’d b so happy
What ive heard there will be a mumble toggle.
@@roboczop2192 i hope so
Probably not how will they do side missions?
@@nakiah7987 with mumble? And maybe there won’t be any side missions there weren’t in the other Star Wars games
I'd like a mix of both. Mainly mumbles for adaptations, and dialog for original stories (including the IP related ones)
So mumbles for star wars and dialogue for marvel and dc
@@elonmusket5676 Basically, unless they're adapting one of the movies, then in which case it would still be mumbles
The mumbles work when adapting because we already know the story and we can easily interpret it. For original stories, mumbling leaves a lot of creative challenges for the writing team.
I think the original stories are the worst offenders of poor lego humour
@@iainkilcar7463 execpt lego city undercover. In my opinion the funniest lego games of all of them
I think having a “mumble mode” would be cute. Not sure how practical it would be, but I like the concept. My hope is that they actually rewrite the dialogue to give it some of the charm from the LEGO Star Wars TV shows and specials.
I am from the future, to inform you that a mumble mode has been confirmed
@@snifflypig I'm from the further distant future, to inform you that mumble mode is awesome and, surprisingly, the normal dialogue is also awesome.
arent you lucky
I am from the future. I have nothing interesting to say about it I just wanted to brag
I care. I *strongly, deeply care* about mubbles is Lego games instead of dialogues. This is a topic I am extremely passionate about.

I remember seeing the first screenshot of Lego Star Wars back in late 2004 and being confused, now Lego Skywalker Saga is somehow my most anticipated upcoming game.
22:57 This little segment of you chasing that blue stud has more tension than the entire Rise of Skywalker.
i just realized how perfect it is that george lucas designed his movies to work as silent films and the early lego games only used mumbles for dialogue
Less than 30 seconds in I love this dude
"Yes im threatening you with a good time"
haha thanks! 😂
“The Lego fights look silly”
haha I took those fights very seriously as a kid
One of my favorite touches is that when Anakin gets his his hand cut off in the episode 2 adaptation, the actual Lego hand piece gets cut in half instead of just popping off like one would expect.
Huh, that's honestly pretty neat.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
when i used to play the originals with my dad and younger brother, when i was like 6 back in 2005, we'd make up dialogue for the mumbles. my favorite memory of this was when I was on the Jedi Temple level in the first game and when Obi wan saw Yoda my dad dubbed it as Obiwan asking Yoda if he wanted to get coffee, but Yoda said the line was too long- followed by the little gaggle of clones.
Actually, I think Force Awakens had the lines of the movies, but they were redone for the game. Plus, there were also extra chapter and extra lines. Kylo Ren saying “I could just walk to ti and grab it but it wouldn’t be as cool” at the end when trying to force pull Luke’s lightsaber is amazing.
I think that the first Lego Batman game doing its own original story was one of the best decisions that TT games ever made. That meant they weren’t restricted to the formula of the movies.
Ya I thought it was cool to see that Star Wars followed the story while Batman had its own new stuff but I guess cause I never saw the movies some people wanted film adaptions too. Maybe the next Lego Batman follows the dark knight
All 3 stories in Lego batman 1 were loosely based off batman 1989, batman returns and batman forever
I thought this was a LEGO Star Wars Video, not a LEGO Batman video.
my fear for if they have a mumble option in the skywalker saga is that the cutscenes are going to be structured around proper dialogue, so unless mumble mode has its own unique cutscenes, it most likely will fall flat
Yeah in essence the game would have to make two completely different versions for each cut scene which I don't think is a very likely thing to be done
I mean it could also be the other way aroun. You could have the scenes be structured around mumbling but then just replace the mumbling with dialouge for a fix. That would obviously make the idea of "show, dont tell" fail but its a thought. I could see there being minor changes to scenes if they approached it that way
That's exactly what I was gonna say but I had to make sure nobody said it before
Okay but after vader dies in lego I love it afterwards when luke closes the door on the shuttle and vader's body just slides in lol
I would like the mumble setting, as long as the cut scenes could also work in that context. I also hope they don't just pull dialog from the movies. It works fine for cut scenes but it is rather jarring in gameplay as you mentioned.
Voice acting can certainly have its charms aswell but theres a saying in germany that goes "not macht erfinderisch" which translates to "necessity is the mother of invention".
And i think this applies perfectly to the Lego games, restricting speech from the characters forced the devs to get creative with how they convey emotions and information, they couldnt just lazily add some lines, they had to actually TRY. And when you actually try the end result will more often be better than when youre lazy.
Its like how a bunch of old innovative games only were so innovative because of hardware limitations.

@@ShockwaveFPSStudios
I was talking about LEGO Batman 2. It’s one of my favorite games of all time, up there with Batman Arkham series, Skyrim, Rachet and Clank.
Because it wouldn’t help his argument lmao
Personally, I think Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, was the last hoorah for Lego Star Wars. That game is easily - from a gameplay standpoint - the best in the franchise, in my opinion. There are so many fun modes, fantastic levels, and the game just looks beautiful. I hope ground battles can be brought back into The Skywalker Saga, that was my favourite part of the game. I'd also love the Galactic Starship hub world to be brought back, that was so much fun to explore! Overall, I hope that Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga takes the best elements of Lego Star Wars III and includes them within this game - but I presume there's going to be an absence of Clone Wars content, sadly.

Me who has never seen or read Harry Potter: 👁👄👁
19:35 you missed a perfect chance for the clip of Diego Luna saying: “I’ve been in this fight since I was 6 years old.” From Rogue One.
I always knew there was something different about the newer LEGO games that kept me from becoming interested in playing them. 15 years ago, I would've lost my mind if I knew I'd get to play all the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies in a LEGO game. But now all the cleverness and endearing simplicity is gone.
Still better than the actual avengers game they made
@Siddhanth Ganesh Not really. I tried LEGO Avengers and there was something off about it. And it wasn’t just the voice acting either, since I love LEGO Jurassic World, which also has voice acting.
@Siddhanth Ganesh Lego Avengers was just bland and generic, it didn't feel like it had an actual charm. Lego Star Wars are Indiana Jones are example of them adapting an existing film series correctly, whereas Lego Avengers had the potential to be just that, but it was stale and boring, and I felt no emotion while playing it.
@Siddhanth Ganesh yes, but that's not the entire game, you could say that about any Lego game
The Mcu wasn’t around 15 years ago
I would definitely prefer a mumble mode.
On a somewhat unrelated note I was kinda surprised when you pointed out the droid voice saying "intruder alert" in the first level because when I first played these games I didn't understand much English and it just sounded like random droid sounds to me.
having come to this video late, I want to say that there really is 2 types of LEGO gamers. There are people who prefer the older style of game, with a "hub world", no voice lines, goofy humor, not as many collectables, and less characters in order for each of them to be of value in some way. Then there are people who prefer the newer style of game, with an "open world", voice lines, immature comedy, loads of collectables, and tons of characters with plenty of variety in use and style. In truth it comes down to picking a year: pre-2012 or post-2012?
What i love about Lego games is that you can take part in actual movies and you get flashbacks from watching them. Lego will be always in my heart no matter how old iam
I actually really liked the old lego games where they just mumbbled. It was kinda like Tom and Jerry where you had to figure out what they were talking about.
Tom and Jerry relied on physical storytelling
It's insane to me that aside from episode's 4 and 5, Lego SW is the only thing SW fans can agree on.
Episode 5 is majorly overrated(imo)
Lego sw tcw is a better and more enjoyable game than tcs (imo)
Still think all sw fans agree? That's what makes it great though, nearly everyone can find something to love
@@jamzy1837 You can have that opinion, but the fact that you felt the need to point out that your opinion differs from the standard implies that there IS a widely accepted standard opinion, which would imply that fans generally agree about those movie/games.
@@drake1360 for sure, I just wanted to make a joke of it, also, dont ruin it for me, but I have no hot take for episode 4.
Hun, we can't even agree on 4 and 5. Only LEGO is the true savior of our Fandom
@@jamzy1837 tcs is just 2 games combined
Lego Star Wars was literally my childhood, I really hope this one is as good as we remember the old ones where
Infuriates me that the game that really needed story and dialogue (BIONICLE Heroes) didn't
When lego games first started getting voice overs me and my brother at the time were Ecstatic to say the least! I can't remember liking it less for the dialogue, but when I look back now, I'd take the crisp summer nights playing mumbling lego indiana jones over any voice overed lego game.
Lego lord of the rings had the best usage of lego physical humor of any of the voice acted lego games
I personally prefer lego Batman 2 but lord of the rings is a good example of that also
It was so good that it was in the gameplay, for crying out loud!
I will never forget playing as Boromir impaled on a broom!
15:53 LEGO Indiana Jones 2 was actually an amazing game, especially on the WII, but mainly because you could make your own levels.
I think Harry Potter had its own editor. I hope Skywalker Saga gets their own level editor
I used to love doing that and spent way too long time doing it.
@@Mopsikus The original LEGO Harry Potter allowed you to create custom levels, so you're right.
I lost my faith in LEGO games and cartoons lately, they use the same type of humor and directing in movies and cutscenes. I name it "Did you understand that self-aware pop-culture reference?" and "Yeah, we are making a parody" humour.
Miss their old simple charm.
Oh, and this "Look, that's an unexpected PIG! LOL" thing. It doesn't get funnier as they use it more frequently.
I personally really enjoy Lego Marvel 2, it doesn't rely on comedy but instead has a somewhat simple but entertaining story, and then where there is comedy, it's pretty solid most of the time.
There's often something special about the first and/or second games in a series which really capture the magic and everything clicks, often in an art from adversity kind of way.
I think one of the things that made LEGO Star Wars fun was actually the lightsabers/laser reflecting. I played Indiana Jones (as well as the demos for Harry Potter and Pirates) and something felt missing - and not just the online co-op.
When I played the classic Lego games with my brothers, the cutscenes were one of the best parts of the games, it always felt like a kid was puppeting his lego minifigures, just like any kid would do
Man the mumbling was the best part, it was the reason I fell in love with the game and call it a 2000s gaming classic.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate that entire time travel bit? Another great vid!
thank you MC!

May the likes be with you.
Say what you will, but LEGO Clone Wars was probably my favorite of the games, because it's the one I remember from my childhood (I did play the others, but that was the one that I played the most).
The one disappointing thing about it is that it wrapped up its story right as the actual show was getting good. I'm seriously hoping they have DLC or something planned to finish the Clone Wars saga, because seeing elements from that game expanded on would be good by itself, but being able to play storylines like the Umbara arc, Darth Maul's return and rise to power with Deathwatch and his crime syndicate, the stuff on Dathomir with Ventress, the Siege of Mandalore and order 66, and all the other great stuff in the Clone Wars? Now that would make a fantastic game and I would 100% pay for that as DLC to the Skywalker Saga.
Don't forget about the massive army battles! They really did the work to put the WAR in the Clone Wars!
16:00
??? No they're not "animated"
They have normal black eyes with a little high-light just like all the modern lego minifigs.
Did you record your audio prior to picking the footage? Because what you're saying is the opposite of what is being shown on the screen.
The new trailer for Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga has confirmed it:
There will be an option to enable "Mumble Mode"!
My hype, which wasn't really there before, immediately sky-rocketed after seeing that!
I'm really really happy about this, since the gameplay looks absolutely stunning!
I felt that they at least did Lego Lord Of The Rings well in 2014. Even with voice acting, it’s still got amazing visual humor.
@Axtwyt Starkiller Wasn’t it like one of the first LEGO games to start having voice acting? Because Lego Star Wars III came out only a year prior and had grunts.
@Axtwyt Starkiller Lego Batman 2 was the first to do it, LOTR was the first to do it well. Just my opinion.
LEGO Batman 2 had brilliant voice work.
@Axtwyt Starkiller I don't consider it odd. He probably didn't have footage considering Warner Bros pulled it from shelves and online stores.
@@-Teague- actually, LEGO Island was the first LEGO Game to do voice acting, LEGO Batman 2 only brought back Voice Acting, as LEGO Star Wars 1 - LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7 removed Voice Acting and replaced it with Grunting, I don’t know what the Last LEGO Game Pre LEGO Star Wars 1 to have voice acting. which is one of the things we can all agree on.
Fun fact: my first experience with star wars was through lego star wars complete saga. As a kid i watched on youtube all the mumbling cutscenes and they won me over
I thought I was the only one
The people behind the upcoming Skywalker Saga game clearly understand the importance of the mumbles, so much so that they've even publicly acknowledged it. I am confident that even if the toggle doesn't come at release, it will be added in a later update.
Weren't they openly surprised by the fan feedback on mumbling in their public acknowledgement, though?
Wait how would that take an update to fix??
@@marcosgalvis3498 Because in addition to adding grunts they would also have to make new cutscenes so they make sense and are funny without the voice acting.
@@marcosgalvis3498 If it would not be included at launch, it would be a new feature coming after launch, so it would have to come in the form of an update.
@@Sophie_the_Sapphic That's never gonna happen. It'll just be an alternate audio track.
One key thing about grunt mode I hope is that it doesn't just replace the voiced lines with a bunch of grunts/banjo-kazooie speak.
Because if it does, nothing ends up really changing. To make grunt mode work, the cutscenes need to be recreated with the lack of the voiced lines in mind and be written around not having them.
Finally I knew I wasn’t the only one who felt that Vader’s death in Lego Star Wars actually carries a lot of emotion even though it is without dialogue entirely
The LEGO movie: the video game actually benefited from voice acting as it carried over the humor of the movie and added a bunch of dialogue in that was hilarious and worked in context.
Lego Star Wars was the first game I ever 100% completed and I don’t regret a single moment of the time it took to do that.
I’ll just throw this out here as one who was raised on LEGO games as a kid; they shouldn’t talk, period. As soon as they stopped miming and grunting, and started speaking real words, the immersion and enjoyment just tanked afterwards. Sure, they’re still fun and I still play them as a grown-ass man, but I just can’t get over the fact they actually TALK now
My favourite Lego game is lotr but I agree that they're generally better without talking
Mumble got tedious after a while like with clone wars and Indiana Jones 2
I think lego batman 2 was the first game to have talking characters.
@@elonmusket5676 I'm pretty sure the characters still didn't talk in Lego Indiana Jones 2, not sure about Clone Wars though
@@brickheadstudios8372 yes those games are where they tried to make characters talk through mumbling and it didn't work
While I agree that most of the humor in lego games have been lost due to the voice acting, I actually found the clip you showed from the Skywalker Saga with Palpatine attempting to shoot force lightning at Luke pretty funny because instead of just straight up electrocuting him, he pulls out the actual lego lightning pieces first
Or the droid’s retirement.
Fortunately now, the "Mumble Mode" for *_LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga_* is confirmed and shown in action!
You were right about one thing, Master. The negotiations were short.
I played the wii version and is probably the first game I ever beat as a kid, It was so amazing
One thing i will say about LEGO the clone wars is that i really hoped the big scale battle mechanics would return in later games, and that they sadly never did. It would have been perfect for LEGO the lord of the rings for example. But that's just me.
Bruh same as a kid I loved the huge battles
All my friends hated those levels for some reason, don't understand why. They were some of my favorites.
Them taking out Yodas floating chair is a crime against humanity!
If memory serves, we have LEGO Pirates of the Carribbean to thank for the "animals popping up where they shouldn't" joke.
Yikes! If Skywalker Saga was meant to be their new flagship, then count me out of that sinking fleet.
The one thing I will say about Skywalker Saga talking is that they are entirely new voice actors. This means that it won't be that horrible isolated dialogue that we got with Avengers or Jurrasic Park. It also means they can probably tailor jokes and gags better to the dialogue and keep things more consistent. Idk.
Bold of you to assume it was isolated. It sounds (in Avengers especially) like they just superimposed the movie over the cutscenes and left in background noise.
@@Double-R-Nothing yep. I only played the first two levels of the Lego Avengers game because of the terrible production quality. The audio inserts were extremely awkward and out of context. And gameplay-wise you just literally act out the movie, which gets boring quickly because the levels are 90% combat.
@@jemert96 You weren't missing much.
I think there’s a lot of benefit to letting Travelers Tales create new stories, and like you said the voice acting helps those stories tremendously. I think it’s especially beneficial when they do a gigantic crossover story like LEGO Dimensions (RIP) or even the LEGO Marvel Superheroes games, but also games like Lego City Undercover. But in terms of adaptation, well, I think adaptations (and also remakes and reboots) only work if they offer a completely new experience-and the mumbled and grunts are what offered that. The voices turn that brand new experience into a weaker version of the story you already know and love. If the experience isn’t as good, why spend your time with it instead of the one that you already know is great?
In terms of retelling established events in the Skywalker Saga, I believe Mumbles are a great option. After all we already know the story, and as Matt said in the video we just want to play through and immerse ourselves in the stories throughout the saga.
The Benefit of the Lego Skywalker Saga is the clone wars Series Actors being involved, so even if there are jokes that don’t land, at least we still get to hear those amazing voices being put into the prequels. As for the other Voice replacements, it will definitely be hit or miss depending on the casting choices.
So Skywalker Saga just came out and it is amazing. The magic has not been lost.
This aged well
The comedy needs to be "smarter" with mumbles. I can tell you, "I'm sad" with a deadpan face and you'll know I'm sad, but if im sat in the corner hands on face, elbows on my knees, you can feel it .
It might be harder to make that style of comedy work, but it is a great emotional weight added to a game, comedy or not
Harder sure but it just means you gotta get more creative.
Nah, Lego TFA brought most of the casts back to do new voice acting. Its how we got Masochistic Kylo actually voiced by Adam Driver.
@VIBIN JOTARO I'm honestly just indifferent. Both are fine, I loke the creativoth of mumbling, but like the effort put into most of the voiced games (Minus Lego Avengers, LOTR, Hobbit and certain Dimensions levels)
@VIBIN JOTARO I was born in 2001 and I still prefer the talking in newer lego games
soulless
I honestly grew up with the classic mumbling, and I would love to see that make a comeback in Lego Star Wars 202-whenever-its-released.
I’m so happy they’re bringing the mumbles and grunts back for the Skywalker saga
Recently I've been playing through the LEGO Lord of the Rings game, it shows that TT have gotten much better at recontextualising voice lines, but it still pales a little relative to the glory of the mumble.
If they redo the cutscenes would definitely play with mumbles, however taking a voiced cutscene then just replacing the duologue wouldn't work the same
what about lego LOTR? imo its a pretty good mix. No talking during gameplay and only some voice lines in cutscenes.
I think it's a great mix in LLOTR, but I think the mix in future games after not quite...
The complete saga was the first video game i ever owned and it has a special place in my heart
Now, I didn't play all the Lego Games but out of all the games that have voice lines, the only one I actually felt like it worked(and it worked really well) was Undercover, probably because this one is telling an original story instead of a parody, so the humour feels pretty natural.
My issue with fully voiced lego games is that they try to include both visual and spoken gags, yet neither end up succeeding because they rarely blend together.
My favorite scene from Lego Star Wars is when Luke turns on the lightsaber for the first time and chops off 3PO's head.
No way will a mumble toggle turn out well. They aren’t going to reanimate and rewrite every joke/scene, to have it be visually funny. It would just be the same game with no talking.
It will turn out less cringe though, which is good enough for me.
FYI the devs for the new game have said they’ve taken on board the requests for having a muted option
Lego Star Wars the complete saga was my childhood, from the sound effects to the music. It’s a MASTERPIECE!
I agree that the voice clips pulled straight from the movies can be jarring sometimes, that being said my favourite moment from lego lord of the rings is where a pizza gets delivered to the black gate and an orc looks over and says “ looks like meat’s back on the menu boys”
:D
