Since we've already got like 4 Lego Star Wars games, I don't mind how short each of the individual missions feel. The pacing does feel mildly odd in comparison to the others, though, speed-running the 9-movie story. But the main feature of the game is its many worlds to explore, which are all pretty fun to explore. The gameplay is also an improvement on previous Lego games, with cover-shooting (like in the Force Awakens game), Souls-style boss fights, and spaceship dogfights. It's generally enjoyable, and slight step up from the typical formula, but it's still part of that formula. The puzzles are at a similar low difficulty but even less clever or fun to complete, I assume since the developers focused on getting more worlds included in the final product. I also didn't find it nearly as amusing as other Lego games. It had a few jokes now and then but the story and characters often went unspoofed. Decent, and probably the most comprehensive Lego Star Wars game, but not a huge improvement (at least for adults) if you're hoping for a totally new experience.
