Too short and the story is dire.
The gameplay has a few extra tweaks, the mind trick ability is a personal favourite. And more unlockable skins.
But the finishers get very tedious and it all feels too rushed.
And you never get to fight Boba Fett, and that's the biggest crime of all.

Kino Incarnate.
Would've been an instant five stars if the recent update didn't break the game.
This was the game that was always brought out at family gatherings. While others sat down, we plucky few set up the drums, guitars and mic to form our own shitty Fab Four.
I was a beast on the vocals though, because I was the only one who could match Ringo's tone of voice.

Simultaneously able to bring people together and force them away from each other in the span of 60 minutes.
The grind is slow, the enemies just keep coming, and the big battle levels with the sections n shit can get pretty frustrating.
Will probably finish later, but I got so pissed off last night.

Story Mode is boring, but the multiplayer was kino incarnate.

Heh, Among Us....
The Story is really well done, the gameplay is great, however I don't ever use combos because there's too many to learn.
I just button mash.

This was the shit back in the day, man. This, Mario Kart Wii and Wii Sports were the ones for me.
Many see LEGO Games as a big sellout, but they're very wrong.
I think what makes a LEGO Game so addictive is the easy controls, well-designed levels (most of the time) the wide range of characters that you have the choice to play as, all with their own mechanics and functions that spruce up gameplay and keep it interesting. As well as the compulsive need to complete the game.
Collecting studs is so satisfying. I will never not get tired of absorbing a massive pile of studs, watching the stud meter fill up. Studs!
It also helps that I'm a lifelong Star Wars fan and lifelong LEGO Collector. (I say Collector, but it's more of an addiction at this point) I know people who were introduced to Star Wars thanks to this game. That's gotta count for something.
Despite my five star rating, I must say this: Vehicle Levels are dreadful. Besides the Mos Espa Podrace, the rest of them are not fun unless you have the extras enabled. (Looking at you, Gunship Cavalry) So many precious studs were lost in these levels.
And some of the solutions to get Minikits or Red Bricks are very odd and don't always apply to the set mechanics in the game. Some of them require your own ingenuity, which I guess is kinda cool. But very frustrating if you can't figure out what to do. A far cry from LEGO Games today.
However....
Fourteen years on, it still holds up. A pinnacle and respected piece of Gaming Culture. As someone who has played many LEGO Games in his time, I think The Skywalker Saga will be the culmination of every single game Traveller's Tales has made. Every mechanic, level design, character function formulated will all come together in this bad boy.
And it wouldn't have been possible with this Chad amongst Chads.

One of the games from my childhood where I was completely blown away by the amount of freedom this bad boy gave you.
Gameplay is cracking, the mechanics are solid, and the collectibles hunting is addictive as hell.
What a great game, I wonder if the sequel will be even better.

Thrilling story, fantastic gameplay and just an amazing experience all round.
I can't express it enough, the gameplay is absolute fire.

Superb gameplay, but the story is boring and tedious. Really could've benefited from some Telltale options in the character interactions.
Just give me something more!

Ok, this game is one of the greatest ever made, but jesus christ, watching someone else play this for the first time is painful.

The fact that you don't get together with Emily is the whole point of the game, you horny degenerates.
