LEGO Star Wars gets next-gen release
There is a place in this world for games designed for children, which somehow work out to be just as entertaining for adult gamers alike. The LEGO Star Wars games have been testament to this and now, the wonderful brick destroying game will be making a next-generation appearance for the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga.
The partnership between developer Traveller’s Tales and LucasArts continues in this next LEGO Star Wars feature. Previous titles in the series, LEGO Star Wars and Star Wars II covered the new films and the Original Trilogy, but this new title will encompass the entire Star Wars saga from beginning to end.
From the Trade Federation’s “negotiations” with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn in The Phantom Menace to the space battle above Endor in Return of the Jedi, The Complete Saga allows players to kick some brick through 36 Story Mode levels, including Episode II’s newly added high-speed pursuit of bounty hunter Zam Wessell.
In the press release, Tom Stone, director at TT Games, had this to say;
“As we usher in the next generation of videogame consoles, LucasArts is leading the way in family entertainment,” said Jim Ward, president of LucasArts. “We’re proud of the phenomenal success of LEGO Star Wars II and how it delivered all the fun, humour and action of the Original Trilogy to the entire family. Now, with The Complete Saga, we’re excited to finally offer the entire saga playable in one package for the first time ever.”
“LucasArts was an amazing partner on LEGO Star Wars II, and working with them on The Complete Saga continues to be a great experience. We’re also thrilled to be focusing on next-generation consoles and creating content that plays to the strength of each system.”
Both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 will have drop in/drop out online functionality, allowing players across the globe to act out the story together in High-Definition graphics. The Wii and Nintendo DS will be getting other control schemes to compliment the unique controls of each system.
The Complete Saga will revamp the original LEGO Star Wars to compliment advances in gameplay made in Star Wars II and will mix all the characters from the prequel to more than 160 in total. That’s a lot of brick people to annihilate with a lightsaber.
No release date yet confirmed, however the website mentions a “Fall 2007.”








Doesn’t get more next-gen than plastic bricks!
correct me if im wrong, but didnt lego star wars already enter the next gen when lego SW 2 came out for the 360 a while back?
I think that was last gen port.
o
Correct! This is being developed specifically for the next-gen consoles. ie, they’ll look better, play better.
hey just curious how do you get ur name to show up as being a registered user when posting comments?
i don’t know
They aren’t showing up as registered members. They just filled in the website box which makes your name a link to that website, thus turning it green.
hey i got it working ^^^^^
thanks btw
Great, so when I got Lego Star Wars 2 a while back, I was actually wasting my money. Oh noes wait I forgot about the gamerscore, lolz.
This will be nice. I’ve been wanting multiplayer over xbox live.
Some of you DIDNT know lego star wars II was a a port?! erm…right…you lot not pay attnetion in the games world or what? if was out on every console lol. wake up kids;) theres far too many ports, the only one i own is SC: Double agent, Blood money was pretty good too for a port.
So is this just a remake of Lego SW1 and SW2?
I know I’m going to get totally flamed for this… but am I the only one who thought these games were incredibly BORING? I tried playing both of them, and I got pretty far in #2, but I was bored out of my mind the whole time. It’s so slow, and all you do is walk around for hours picking up those stupid little coin things. None of the levels seem to have any point (other than trying to recreate some scene from star wars and drag it out WAY too long). Certain parts didn’t even seem complete.
Most sites gave the games pretty good reviews, but I’m not sure why.
Don’t get me wrong, I love star wars and I love legos… but the games… eh
no i have felt the same way i dl’ed the demo a while back and it just didnt interest me that much, yet i have friends that play these games religiously so i dunno
LSW1 was great. For some reason, the second is boring, even though it has better subject matter.
