LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for the Game Boy Advance is a version of the game built for the Game Boy Advance hardware. Its gameplay significantly differs from the console version, and is a 2D sprite-based isometric game instead of a 3D model-based game.
Gameplay[]
Unlike the first game, the gameplay of this game is even more faithful than that the home console version.
Instead of a menu to access levels, levels are accessed in a hub, which is Mos Eisley Cantina. The player can only play as Princess Leia (Senator) and Rebel Trooper in the Cantina.
Death has changed in this version, sending players to the point where they died instead of the last checkpoint. Health also changes depending on the character the player controls. For example, if the player plays as an enemy like a Stormtrooper, they will have low health, but if they play as a boss like Darth Vader, they will have a lot of health.
The Story and Free Play modes have been modified. For example, the player will no longer have to repeat the Blockade Runner and Tatooine levels if they want to play Death Star Rescue again in its Story Mode version. The game's AI now chooses random characters in Free Play.
Instead of five Death Star Plans, the game has ten minikits per level. If all ten are collected, a character or vehicle will be available for purchase at the Mos Eisley Cantina store.
The game counts True Jedi status instead of Jedi ranks. Like the home console versions, the player has to fill it by collecting studs. When the True Jedi is obtained, the player gains a stud bonus. Unlike the home console version, the player only has to fill it once, regardless of which mode they are in. However, the player can still fill the True Jedi state after filling it once, although this does not affect the 100% percentage.
Studs have changed their values. Silver studs are worth 10. Gold studs are worth 100. Blue Studs are worth 1,000. Studs can be spent to purchase hints, characters, vehicles and extras in the store.
Temporary powerups, such as increased damage, or invincibility, are gone. R2-D2 became harmless. Special moves have now been given to some characters. This time, there is no energy bar above, so the player can use special moves as many times as they want.
The Build ability has only been granted to certain characters. Some characters, like the Jedi, can't build things.
The game now features an Extras menu instead of an extensive list of cheat codes. Most of the extras, like Ltsaber, Blue, are Purely Aesthetic, while others, like Invincibility, are useful. The Sith Mode extra makes the consequences of death like the Game Boy Advance version of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, making the game more difficult.
Story[]
This game is based on the Star Wars Original Trilogy. Like its predecessor, it omits some scenes found in the console version, but adds some that do not appear there. For example, this game does not contain content based on Exogorth from The Empire Strikes Back, but there are scenes of Yoda's death from Return of the Jedi that were omitted from the console versions.

Trivia[]
- It is so far one of the only two LEGO games impossible to complete 100% (the other being LEGO Rock Raiders), the maximum percentage is 99%. The remaining 1% is obtained after purchasing the Extra Vehicles extra and purchasing the Probe Droid and Slave 1 vehicles, but since the game does not detect them as purchased, they do not count towards the 100%. It's a bug in the game.
- This marks the only version of a lot of things:
- The only LEGO Star Wars game that does not include a playable character whose first appearance was in a prequel trilogy film. This is because the original trilogy was made first so the characters in the prequel trilogy who also appeared in the original trilogy are considered as having first appeared in an original trilogy film.
- The only version of the game to not have a character creator.
- The only version of the game to not have a multiplayer mode.
- The only LEGO video game from TT in which codes only utilize numbers and no letters.
- The only LEGO Star Wars game until LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga to show Yoda's death.
- The only LEGO Star Wars game to not have a playable character bearing the word Anakin as the game does not have a spirit version of Anakin.
- The only LEGO Star Wars game to not depict a purple lightsaber.
- The only version to not have any spirit versions of characters, likely due to the Jedi Spirit extra.
- The only LEGO Star Wars game until LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga to have the Cantina Music extra.
- The only version of the game to have a single bounty hunter as a playable character which is Boba Fett.
- The only version of the game not to show the final scenes of both A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back.
- The only version of the game to allow the player to only control one character in Free Play while in character-based levels.
- The only version of the game to not let the player switch vehicles in Free Play.
- The only LEGO game from TT in which multiple playable characters appear onscreen during Story Mode, but not during Free Play.
- The only version of the game to not allow the player to use a Y-wing or a TIE Interceptor.
- The only LEGO Star Wars game to have a Baby Rancor as a playable character as the normal Rancor would later be playable via Extra Toggle in the Tatooine Minikit Bonus level in in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga and by normal means in both LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
- The only version of the game to have the extra Silhouettes after it was featured in the original LEGO Star Wars game, but it returned in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga.
- R2-Q5 is the only playable character in this game to not appear in any other version, but to later appear in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga.
- The only LEGO game to have the build ability, but to not allow every normal character to use it since lightsaber characters cannot build.
- The only version of the game in which blaster characters do not have melee attacks.
- This version is a lot less glitchy than the DS version.
- This is one of two LEGO games from TT to limit the player to just two characters in the hub, the other being the handheld versions of LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues.
- This was the first LEGO game from TT in which attacks from AI controlled characters can damage characters which would not become reality in one on console/PC until LEGO Batman: The Videogame.
- If the player excludes characters from the Use Old Save extra, the PSP version, and variations of characters, both this version and the console/PC version are tied for the fewest number of lightsaber characters in any LEGO Star Wars game with five.
- Not counting the GBA version of the first game, this is one of only two LEGO games from TT where the player can have a number other than zero as the ones digit for the stud counter, the other being LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
- K-3PO is the only character in both this version and the DS version to not be playable in any other version, only to be later playable on console/PC in both LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
- If the player uses the Invincibility extra, their hearts will turn metal which did not happen in a LEGO game on console/PC until LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.
- If the player were to merge the variations of the characters into one, then the game would have 26 playable characters, the same number of characters as the GBA version of the first game when characters with cheat codes are counted.
