LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game Single player, two player simultaneously ESRB: Everyone (E) PEGI: 3+ USK: 6 LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game is a video game based on the Star Wars-themed toy line by the LEGO Group, taking place during the prequel trilogy (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith), and a small segment from A New Hope although all with some humorous sidelines.
LEGO Star Wars was released on April 5, 2005, a full month before the final Star Wars film premiered, which surprised most people since the game contains many spoilers about the movie. It was developed and published by Traveller's Tales and Giant Entertaiment for the Xbox, PlayStation 2, and Windows, with Griptonite Games developing the Game Boy Advance version. All versions were distributed on April 5, 2005 by Eidos Interactive. It was later released on the Apple Macintosh by Aspyr in August 2005, then on the GameCube in October. While billed as a "kids game", it peaked at the top of the UK charts during early May 2005, losing the spot to the official game of Episode III, but remaining on the rest of the month on the top spots of the chart. There are three (possibly four) known levels that didn't make it to the final release. Some, such as "Anakin's Flight", were practically complete. The remnants of these levels can be found with a thorough search of the install directory for the PC version of the game.
It is interesting to note that this would have given the game a total of 21 levels, 22 counting the bonus chapter. Opening Crawl: "As the battle for Naboo rages on the planet's surface, a desperate assault has been launched on the Trade Federation battleships above. Anakin Skywalker finds himself at the controls of an N-1 Starfighter, heading for the Droid Control Ship..." Due to take place after Chapter 5 of Episode I, a few screenshots showing two Naboo starfighters, shooting battle droids and droidekas inside the hangar of a Trade Federation battleship, were published in magazines and on the internet. It returned in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. This level would have been the first chapter of Episode II. Like "Anakin's Flight", it would have been another vehicle-based level with the player taking control of the speeder that Anakin "borrows" at the beginning of the film. Although no published visual evidence for this level was released, there are a few clues to its existence.
The "Chars" directory in the installed PC version (a folder which holds all the character and vehicle models) has the following folders: Some work by some of the members of the FBTB.net forums has unearthed a few of the 3D models that would have been used in this level (see screenshot, above right) and actually got some of them working in-game. However, this level was returned in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. The Game Boy Advance version of LEGO Star Wars has several differences, (mostly for the sake of portability), including fewer playable characters (15, plus 23 with cheats – see list below), devalued credits (gray pieces are worth 1, blue 5 and gold 10 credits), fewer levels--including just three for Episode II--and only one player character on screen at a time, while the cutscenes are renders of the home console versions. However, it still remains a fairly large cartridge (128-Mbit). All lightsaber-users are able to deflect blaster shots aimed at them (provided they are attacking the shot), and each character has his own style.
They also are the only ones able to use the Force to interact with undeployed platforms and switches. Blaster characters can charge a shot by holding the attack button, making it more powerful and able to pass through several enemies. However, as they don't have the shot-deflecting abilities of the Jedi, their use is quite limited. There are a total of 15 selectable characters made available in the game: Another 8 characters are available, but only by using inputted keypad codes: A sequel, LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, has been released covering the last three movies in the saga, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. The sequel was released on the 12th of September, 2006. LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga was later released, which combines the levels from LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Star Wars II. The levels were updated to include powerbricks, vehicles, and other aspects found in LEGO Star Wars II. Additionally, new playable characters, such as Watto and Boss Nass were added and the deleted levels involving Anakin's flight and the pursuit of Zam Wessel were added.
