LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game is a LEGO game based upon the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. It also happens to be the first "modern" LEGO video game in the sense of the LEGO video games we know today. During the game, you get to play through Episodes I through III with an Episode IV bonus level unlocked by obtaining True Jedi status in every other level. You get True Jedi status by earning studs throughout each level. You can use these studs to buy items such as Hints, Characters, and Extras.

Version Differences[]
Nintendo GameCube[]
- The game does not have an autosave system.
- There are aesthetic bugs and audio problems, likely due to the 1.5 GB of the GameCube discs. This is most noticeable during the cutscenes and when pausing the game.
- The player has to go back by pressing the Y button instead of the B button, unlike most other GameCube games.
- The game and the Greatest Hits PS2 version are the only versions of the game to show the current TT logo.
PlayStation 2[]
- This is the only version of the game to not have any audio bugs such as with the vocal effects.
Xbox[]
- The button prompts look identical to those of the Duke Controller instead of the Controller S.
- Yoda's head for the autosave feature does not appear.
PC[]
- This is the only version of the game where the characters have a full shadow (excluding the GBA version). Despite that, there are a lot of video games on GameCube, PS2 & Xbox where characters have a full shadow.

Trivia[]
- This game, up until LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 are the only games that mostly don't have voice acting. LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and onward would have voice acting.
- Several years later, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has an option to disable voice acting via Mumble Mode.
- This is the only LEGO game from TT to date not to have stud multipliers (not counting the GBA & DS versions of LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy).
- This is one of four LEGO games from TT on console/PC to not have a character creator, the others being Bionicle Heroes, LEGO Dimensions & LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
- This is the only LEGO game from TT on console/PC not to allow characters use vehicles, turrets, cranes or animals of any kind in levels, resulting in the player always navigating on foot when controlling characters.
- This game is tied with The LEGO Ninjago Movie Videogame for the fewest extras for any LEGO game from TT on console/PC with ten as two are helpful and eight are aesthetic which is the opposite for Ninjago.
- This is the only LEGO video game from TT to date in which none of the characters are capable of using melee attacks.
- This is one of two only LEGO game from TT on console/PC to be rated E by the ESRB, the other being Bionicle. All future LEGO games from TT on console/PC have a E10+ rating, excluding Bionicle Heroes, which was rated T.
- However, the PSP version of LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy on PS5 is rated T.
- The initial PS2 version uses a CD, but the Greatest Hits version uses a DVD.
- Minikit Detector, Invincibility, and Silhouettes are the only extras in this game to return in a later LEGO game on console/PC as the former two returned in LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy while the latter returned in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga.
- This game, along with LEGO Dimensions & LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga are the only LEGO games from TT on console/PC to have more aesthetic extras than helpful ones with Minikit Detector and Invincibility as the only helpful ones. Coincidentally, they're the most expensive extras in the game as the former costs 750,000 studs and the latter costs 1,000,000 studs.
- A grand total of 3,337,510 studs are needed to buy everything in the game.
- In co-op mode, the player cannot exit to the hub or the main menu from the pause menu, forcing one player or the other to drop out so that can be done. Fortunately, that was fixed in all future LEGO games.
- This is the only LEGO game from TT on console/PC that doesn't have a version with achievements.
