LOS ANGELES, June 14 (UPI) -- Star Wars: The Force Awakens was reimagined in Lego form in a new trailer that debuted during Sony's E3 2016 press conference. The clip featured Lego versions of Force Awakens characters Rey, Finn, Kylo Ren, Han Solo and more along with recreated scenes from the film re-done in the Lego series' signature comedic style. Kylo Ren is seen going to his Darth Vadar-themed bedroom in anger after learning of Rey's existence, a group of First Order stormtroopers are viewed putting on 3-D glasses to view the activation of Starkiller Base, and Han Solo easily defeats a stormtropper with a well placed shot that pays homage to Indiana Jones. "Players can relive the epic action from the blockbuster film in a way that only Lego can offer, featuring all of the storylines from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, retold through the clever and witty Lego lens," reads the trailer's official synopsis. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens will also feature scenes set before the film bridging the gap between The Force Awakens and Return of the Jedi.
Developed by TT Games, the title represents the studio's next installment in their popular Lego Star Wars series that have already covered the six previous films in the franchise including one title based on the animated series, The Clone Wars. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens will launch on June 28 for Nintendo 3DS, PS3, PS4, Vita, Wii U, PC, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.Don't Get Blocky KidFebruary 2, 2016Star Wars: The Force Awakens has already spawned some awesome spoofs (are you following Emo Kylo Ren and VeryLonelyLuke yet?), but a movie isn’t considered properly parodied until it gets turned into a Lego video game.That’s officially happening on June 28, when Warner Bros.

The game’s first trailer is a shot-for-shot send-up of the first Force Awakens teaser, poking fun at everything from a sweat-soaked Finn running through Jakku to Kylo Ren’s ridiculous lightsaber. The game will mostly cover the events of the film, though Warner Bros. also says that it will explore the time between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens to lend insight into some of the characters. It’ll also include some new features, like a “Multi-Build” system that grants multiple options when building Lego devices in the game and space dogfighting segments. The Lego Star Wars video game series has been a big hit for Warner Bros. More than 33 million games have been sold in the franchise’s 10-year history, though that number will certainly get a huge boost once the new game arrives. The Force Awakens pretty much prints money.
