LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Bionicle Heroes

LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy is the sequel to LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game. It is the second LEGO videogame released by TT Games. The game covers the original Star Wars film trilogy made up of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back, and Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi.

Development[]

The game was developed by Traveller's Tales. During the development, they worked to improve the vehicle levels and camera over the previous game. The cutscenes were made to retell the films in a humorous way.

LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy was announced on February 10, 2006, at the American International Toy Fair, and a preview was displayed at E3 2006. The game was released on September 11, 2006. In 2007, the game was included in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga along with LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game.

On June 18, 2024, the PlayStation Portable version was added to PS+ Premium on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, making it the first time a LEGO handheld game can be played on a home console.

Features[]

The gameplay of LEGO Star Wars II is similar to its predecessor's, this time focusing on the Star Wars original trilogy. Character abilities were expanded upon, becoming a more prominent feature. Gold Bricks were added as a collectable which you are rewarded after completing objectives. A Super Story mode was added, where you have to play through an episode within one hour. Bonus Bounty Hunter Missions were added, where the player has to find a certain character, along with Character and Minikit bonus missions. The game explored vehicle levels more, and lots more vehicles can be unlocked to play as. Along with Minikits, levels also have Power Bricks hidden in levels which unlock extras. Players can create their own characters with the Character Creator in the Mos Eisley Cantina. Characters from LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game are playable with the Use Old Save extra on Xbox, PlayStation 2 and GameCube, and with DLC on Xbox 360. The Extra Toggle extra unlocks secret characters in certain levels.

Version Differences[]

Mac[]

  • This version is mostly the same as the PC version, but it lacks the "Games for Windows" option.

Xbox 360[]

  • Because LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game lacks an Xbox 360 port, the prequel characters are unlocked by purchasing a DLC ​​rather than activating an extra called Use Old Save.
  • This is the only home console version of the game to have a full shadow for the characters which also applies to the GBA & PC versions.
  • This was the only version of the game to have achievements, until the PlayStation Portable version was put on the PS4/PS5 via the "PlayStation Plus Premium" service. You can see the Achievements here.
  • A few sound effects (notably the level transition sound) are lower pitch. This problem carries over to said version of Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga.

GameCube[]

  • Just like the first game, there is a "LICENSED BY NINTENDO" message upon starting up the game.
  • There are aesthetic bugs and audio problems, due to the smaller disc space on the GameCube.
  • The studs are much brighter.
  • It does not have any trailers, likely due to the smaller disc space.

Xbox[]

  • The studs can fall out of bounds and through the floor due to a bug. Unlike the first game however, this happens to a far lesser extent.
  • Just like the first game on the original Xbox, the button prompts look identical to those of the Duke Controller instead of the Controller S.

PC[]

  • The hurt and death sounds for a lot of the prequel characters, Ben Kenobi and the ghost versions of both Ben Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are higher pitched. This also happens on the Xbox, Xbox 360 and GameCube versions of the game.
  • The trailers in the main menu are absent.

PlayStation 2[]

  • An echo effect is present within the Darkside Cave portion of the Dagobah level. This exists only in the PlayStation 2 version.
  • Both the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable versions of the game are the only two versions where all characters are normal pitched.
  • Several bugs such as those involving extras were fixed.
  • The Japanese version now uses decimals instead of commas for numbers with four or more digits.
  • The Japanese version still uses the game's trailer as the demo, but without a voiceover and a bit of the opening cutscene for the Secret Plans level in place of the ESRB descriptor. It even still has the trailer of Limited Edition Original Trilogy DVDs in English.

PlayStation Portable[]

  • The Bounty Hunter door is open at the start of the game, but instead of Bounty Hunter Missions, there are three final levels recycled from LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game. If they are completed, eight prequel characters will be unlocked.
  • To unlock the other prequel characters, the player must complete Challenge Mode in the normal levels, rather than activating the Use Old Save extra (for PS2, GameCube, and Xbox) or purchasing a DLC ​​(for Xbox 360).
  • Prequel characters can be used in the Mos Eisley Cantina, although the AI ​​does not choose them for Free Play.
  • Prequel minikit vehicles are unlocked at the start of the game, although the player cannot choose them from the Minikit Vehicle Grid until completing a minikit for the first time.
  • To the left of the Cantina Shop in the Cantina, there is a Wireless Lobby to play Co-Op, although the player needs two PSPs and two copies to do so. However, it is unresponsive because both players could lose connection and be booted back to the main menu. The player cannot even start co-op in the middle of a level like in the console/PC version.
  • The Cantina lacks NPCs, making it just the player and their AI companion. This change was made so that the game does not have so much lag. This means the player can only change characters in the hub by starting a level of any kind.
  • The characters never change facial expressions during gameplay.
  • The player cannot purchase Gold Bricks in the Cantina, because the remaining 18 Gold Bricks are obtained by completing Challenge Modes. This is because the ten Bounty Hunter Missions where the player earns ten Gold Bricks were removed and those along with the eight purchasable Gold Bricks are how it was changed.
  • Loading times are much longer.
  • The player cannot re-watch cutscenes from the hub.
  • The player cannot move the camera during gameplay as the D-pad and analog stick do the same thing.

Nintendo DS[]

The DS version is a completely different game to accommodate the DS's more limited hardware. This version is infamous for its bugs and glitches.

Game Boy Advance[]

Main article: LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (GBA)

The GBA version acts like a sequel to the original game's GBA port, as a 2D sprite-based isometric game.

Reception[]

LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy received positive reviews from critics. The game's humor and portrayal of the films was praised. It was liked more than its predecessor due to the original Star Wars trilogy generally being preferred over the prequel trilogy. The game's difficulty received mixed reception, with some saying the game is still fun despite its easier difficulty and short length, while others criticized it for being too easy. On the review aggregation website Metacritic, the game has "Generally Favorable" reviews. The official Star Wars website said it was the best Star Wars-related product of 2006.[1]

Trivia[]

  • This and LEGO City Undercover are the only two LEGO games on console/PC prior to The LEGO Movie Videogame where the hearts for a player in the UI are spaced out more.
  • This marks the first of several things:
    • The first LEGO video game to be released for the Nintendo DS, Xbox 360 & PSP. Coincidentally, the last LEGO game for Xbox 360 would also be based on Star Wars which would be LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
    • The first LEGO game to have Free Play in vehicle levels and allowing the player to move freely in them, a character creator, silver objects, explosions, Red Bricks, rideable things for characters, Gold Bricks, Super Story, Force powers against enemies, minikit bonus levels, and buildable objects.
    • The first LEGO game to let the player re-watch cutscenes from the hub world. Coincidentally, the last LEGO game with that distinction would also be movie-based which was The LEGO Movie Videogame.
    • The first LEGO game to let the player move the camera with the right analog stick.
    • The first LEGO game to let the player use minikits and spin and rotate them while viewing them.
    • The first LEGO video game to have the character's name appear onscreen in the pause menu and when switching to them.
    • The first of six LEGO games to be based entirely on PG movie(s), the others being LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, The LEGO Movie Videogame, The LEGO Ninjago Movie Videogame, LEGO The Incredibles and The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame.
    • The first of only two PSP LEGO games to have multiplayer support, the other being LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues. Both require it to start in the hub world.
  • The pictures in the instruction manual appear to have been taken from earlier builds in the game.
  • If the player excludes the characters from the Use Old Save extra, then Princess Leia is the only female playable character in the game and the only one that can be used in the hub as Use Old Save extra characters cannot be used in the hub. Additionally, if the PSP version is excluded, this is the only LEGO Star Wars game in which the player cannot depict her with her mother in the hub world and the only one where the player cannot depict two female characters in the hub as a result.
  • The PSP version is the the only LEGO Star Wars game game prior to LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga where the player can depict Padmé with her son in the hub world.
  • Copies of this game can be seen in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
  • This game came out on the same day as the Limited Edition DVDs of the original trilogy and one day after the 5th anniversary of the September 11 attacks which the player can find a trailer of in the main menu in all versions except the GameCube and PC versions.
    • Furthermore, the Limited Edition DVDs have a playable demo of the original Xbox version.
  • This marks the only LEGO game from TT on console/PC for several things:
    • The only LEGO game from TT on console/PC where the player has to fill the stud bar in both Story and Free Play Mode which also happens in the DS versions of LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, LEGO Batman: The Videogame and the handheld versions of LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars and LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game. In all other LEGO games from TT on console/PC, the player has to fill the stud bar only once which can be done in either Story or Free Play mode.
    • The only LEGO Star Wars game to not have the Wilhelm scream if a trailer for LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is counted.
    • The only LEGO video game between LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game and LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 on console/PC to not have the Silhouettes extra, although it does appear in the GBA version.
    • The only LEGO game to be released on both the original Xbox and the Xbox 360.
    • As mentioned above, this is the only TT LEGO game where the player cannot depict two female characters together in the hub world.
    • The only LEGO game from TT to only based on movies that came out before the PG-13 rating was created in 1984.
    • The only LEGO game from TT to be based entirely on movies that Roger Ebert gave four stars, his highest rating for movies.
    • Not counting the DS and PSP versions, this is the only LEGO Star Wars game in which the player cannot control any characters in the hub who debuted in a prequel trilogy film as they cannot be used in the hub via Use Old Save.
    • The only one out of the four TT LEGO games on home console where the player cannot earn the maximum 4 billion studs in a level as there are no Character studs and Poo Money extras.
    • The only LEGO Star Wars game to have different variations of the end credits music which occurs for each of the three movies that the player beats.
    • The only game to have the Red Nose, Beard and glasses disguises as they did not return in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga and future LEGO games.
    • Prior to the release of LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga a year later, the PlayStation Portable version was the only way that the player could depict characters who were in the second game, but not the first in the prequel levels.
  • If you set the Disguise extra on, the figures in the cutscenes will wear the disguises.
  • This is the last of a few things:
  • Only the PS2 and DS version saw a release in Japan.
  • Not counting the Use Old Save extra, the PSP version, and variations of characters, both this and the GBA version are tied with the fewest number of lightsaber characters with five.
  • Had the GameCube version been available on LodgeNet TVs as part of the Nintendo Gateway System, it's likely that Co-Op support would've been removed with no HUD on the top right of the screen and Episodes V and VI would have been available from the start. Likewise, the autosave feature would've been disabled.
  • The game was released on ten different platforms, the most out of any LEGO game from TT up to that point which is tied with LEGO The Lord of the Rings.
  • On PlayStation 5, this game incorrectly carries a T rating instead of E10+.
