Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Starting at level 25, you can try the new Fleet Commander Training Events in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Ship combat mode. You will unlock additional Events every few levels leading up to Player Level 60, when you become eligible to participate in Fleet Combat. If you’re already at Player Level 60 or higher, you’ll be able to play through each of these Events in order. Unlock a ShipWhen you complete Fleet Commander Training events, you earn Ships and Crew. Find the training events in the Events menu.Activate a ShipYou need to collect three things:The specific Crew member(s) that the Ship requires—these Ships can’t fly themselves.Ship blueprints—these are the same as Character Shards.Ship building materials.Upgrade a ShipLike characters, Ships have levels, star ratings, and abilities that you can increase. And like Characters, there are specific items that you use to do this:Upgrade is like Promote. It uses Blueprints like Character Shards to unlock and upgrade Ships to higher star count.
Enhance is like Level Up on Characters. Enhancement Droids are like Training Droids—they increase a Ship's level.Ship Ability Materials are like Ability Materials—they increase the level of Ship Abilities.Ship Building Materials are like Credits. They are the currency you use to Enhance and Upgrade Ships and increase their Ability levels. Tip: The stronger your Crew members are, the more powerful your Ships will be, so be sure to power up both Ships and Crew. The key to making a Ship stronger is to improve its Crew member(s) as well as the Ship itself.Crew Power: The biggest contributor to making a Ship stronger is to invest in its Crew member(s). You’ll want to look at character level, gear level, stars, mod rarity/level, and ability level.Ship Upgrading: A Ship’s star rating is a direct multiplier of the Crew Power. A Ship’s star rating can reach a multiplier of 1.5 at 7 stars.Ship Enhancement: Increasing a Ship’s level.Ship Abilities: These are not factored directly into Total Power, but they do increase your Ship's effectiveness.

Star Wars is awesome. Video games are awesome. But most Star Wars video games have been, well, terrible. Games like Shadows of the Empire were sometimes referred to as “non-interactive video games” because the controls were so unresponsive, and many of them also didn’t have any appearances by lightsabers, the Force, or any recognizable characters, making them seem poorly connected with the films. The Lego Star Wars series has developed a reputation as the set of games that bring fun back to Star Wars gaming, and Lego Star Wars II for PSP makes it clear why. Although the game still has a noticeable Dark Side, it is undoubtedly one of the best Star Wars video games to date.
Lego Star Wars II is a nearly comprehensive reenactment of Star Wars episodes 4-6, with all characters, ships, and objects made entirely of virtual Lego building blocks. Playing as Lego versions of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Leia Organa, and countless other characters, you will battle against Imperial forces using blasters, lightsabers, and spaceships, as well as solving puzzles to find your way out of tricky situations. Each scene in the game features the appropriate group of characters for that part of the movie. Different characters have different weapons and abilities, ranging from Jedi who can use the Force to ewoks who can squeeze into small areas, and you can take control of any one of them at any time and change which one you are controlling on the fly. The others will be controlled by the computer and follow you, although you will, of course, be doing most of the work yourself, no matter who you are playing as. Throughout the game, you will also encounter piles of Legos waiting to be built into objects you will need to solve puzzles or earn rewards.
If putting together Lego pieces on a PSP screen sounds like a pain, don’t worry; all you really have to do is stand over them and hold the “build” button. With fast reflexes and puzzle-solving skills, you can lead the Rebel Alliance through the story of the three films—but this is really just the beginning. Once you have beaten a level, you can also play through it again in “Free Play” mode, allowing you to choose any available character instead of just the ones that really appear in the scene, and a “Challenge” mode where you hunt for objects within a time limit. Free Play mode opens up entirely new areas of the levels that aren’t accessible to the characters who appear in Story Mode, and within every level are thousands of “studs” (Lego currency) to earn as well as additional bonuses that unlock additional playable characters, special abilities, and other extras. Your ultimate goal is to earn all 99 golden bricks, which will have you playing through each level numerous times and still finding something new each time.
Blue Screen of Death (Star) Overall, the game’s universe is almost as expansive and elaborate as that of the films, making it feel like a real opportunity to experience the movies yourself at long last. There is really only one aspect of the game that might make you want to throw it out the window next to Shadows of the Empire: it’s really buggy. Several times during gameplay, the game simply crashed my PSP (running up-to-date, non-hacked firmware), which can easily erase hours of progress thanks to the game’s stingy saving options. Even if it doesn’t crash, in some scenes it is possible to perform tasks incorrectly or in the wrong order in such a way that you will strand yourself in a state where it is no longer possible to make additional progress. This, too, will force you to start the level over. These issues also have the unfortunate side effect that some of the game’s tougher puzzles will make you wonder, “Is it supposed to be doing that?” even if it is working properly.
Finally, the game’s background music sometimes just drops out entirely, and the only way to get it back is to exit the game completely and launch it again. Usually, console and handheld video games are thoroughly tested, so it is really a shame that Lego Star Wars II didn’t get the additional testing that it sorely needed. Video games based on movies are sometimes rushed to market in order to make sure they are available by the time the movie comes out, but in this case, they missed that excuse by about 30 years. Game manufacturers have been known to silently update their games, so I certainly hope that copies manufactured in the future will improve, but for now at least, the game’s bugginess is very frustrating. Traveller’s Tales has also included some additional extras, such as a “prequel room” where you can relive some of the adventures of Lego Star Wars I (which was not released for PSP), an unlockable Legoland level, and a multiplayer mode that works over ad-hoc WiFi.
I want to say that the game’s graphics are impressively realistic—but I have never actually seen a real set of Legos reenact the Star Wars trilogy, so I’m not sure if I can make such a comparison. Nonetheless, the graphics are detailed and well animated, with some of the story scenes mirroring their movie counterparts shot-for-shot. Frankly, a couple of the special effects actually look better than they do in the movies, and some of the scenes also have hilarious visual gags that deviate slightly from the story line of the real movies. In short, this game just looks great. Lego Star Wars II’s sound is also well done. As with most Star Wars games, sound effects like blasters, lightsabers, and Vader breaths sound exactly like the movies. However, unlike some previous games, almost all of the music in the game is also taken from John Williams’ original score, instead of inserting lots of filler music written by an inferior composer. Most people are already familiar with how awesome the music for the movies is, so all you really need to know is that the same awesomeness is present in the game.
