Didn't play this one much, honestly. The only Wii game I bought myself, mostly because I saw it so heavily discounted at a Gamestop (I think $12?) in 2017 and for the nostalgia factor. Having already completed the original two games on PS2, just tried this one out for a bit and enjoyed playing with the Wii and Nunchuk. Only played for one summer, and didn't play much Wii at that point. If we got this when it first came out (instead of the Lego Indiana Jones and Lego Harry Potter games we got instead) I'm sure I would've 100%'d it.
The bulk of this game is really fun, if simple, but has a lot of fun ways to casually maximize gameplay depending on the order you do things or what basic exploits you use. Baby's first speed run game! But on the other hand there's a lot of more tedious gameplay in some of the later levels and the final requirements for 100% are just straight up not fun. on this most recent replay (and possibly the only time I've ever fully 100%ed?) I did most of the game in the span of a couple weeks of casual play back in November/December but Only finished the last Super Story and Blue Cannister Challenges in JUNE. In spite of all that I've replayed the base game of this countless times which counts for something. It's fun, but not like, amazing amazing.
This game is literally just the 2005 and 2006 games glued together and re-released with a slightly updated hub world, but is still a great remaster of two of my earliest console games from my childhood, so it will always hold a special place in my heart.
They also did a thing where all the models look shinier than they did in the original games so that's cool.

This is The Best Lego Star Wars game they ever made, while The Skywalker Saga is absolutely amazing but this was just truly wonderful not only could you play all movies up to then you COULD STILL MAKE YOUR OWN CHARACTER. I just don't get why Skywalker saga removed that, if it was in it would be THE BEST Lego Star Wars game ever made.
