A port of LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy
LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy takes the fun and endless customization of LEGO and combines it with the epic story, characters and action from the original Star Wars movies that revolutionized pop culture forever (Episode IV A New Hope, Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI Return of the Jedi). With a unique tongue-in-cheek take on the Original Trilogy, LEGO Star Wars II follows the Rebel Alliances crusade to dismantle the Galactic Empire and rebuild a galaxy in pieces. The GBA release, developed by Amaze Entertainment for TT Games, has a different graphic style and changes some levels by rearranging, merging or removing them. There are only 36 playable characters, some unique to this version, with some changes to when some are unlocked throughout the story. There are also no power bricks in the game with the related extras available for purchase separately.

(copy-pasted from LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game)
This game and it's predecessor were not the first LEGO games I played, but they...were also not the ones I remember the most. While it is a game from my childhood, I have some semblance of nostalgia for it, indeed. But that does NOT mean I like the game. It has very little merits, and even someone with the most nostalgia for this game can agree with that. But what I can say is that this game is definitely better than the first, from what I remember. My file on the game was at 76%, so I was definitely going for 100%. Still can't be bothered to replay it though.
I'm glad the days of borderline scam "ports" of games to handheld consoles are over.
Full props to the dev. Child me had a lot of fun with it. But it's clear they were restricted by budget and executive decisions.
All in all, it was definitley a distraction during long car rides so for that I'm thankful.
