It was released on September 1. Part of the Lego Star Wars series, it is based on the Star Wars science fiction media franchise and Lego Group's Star Wars- themed toy line. It follows the events of the Star Wars films Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The game allows players to assume the roles of over 5. Lego versions of characters from the film series; customized characters can also be created. Camera movement was improved from its predecessor—Lego Star Wars: The Video Game; and the concept of "vehicle levels" was explored more thoroughly. The game was revealed at American International Toy Fair 2. Promotions for the game were set up at chain stores across the United States. Lego Star Wars II was critically and commercially successful; it has sold over 8. May 2. 00. 9. Critics praised the game for its comedic and "adorable"[1][2] portrayal of the film series and for their preference of the original trilogy to the prequel trilogy. However, the game's low difficulty, and its Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS versions in general, were received more poorly. The game received awards from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and Spike TV, among others. A mobile phone adaptation was later developed by Universomo, published by THQ, and released on December 1. Lego Star Wars and Lego Star Wars II were compiled in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, released on November 6, 2. The OS X version of the game was released in April 2. Feral Interactive.[3]Gameplay[edit]Lego Star Wars II's gameplay is from a third- person perspective, and takes place in a 3. D game world that contains objects, environments and characters designed to resemble Lego pieces. Its gameplay—a combination of the action- adventure, platform,[4] and sometimes puzzle[5] genres—shares elements with that of Lego Star Wars: The Video Game (2. While Lego Star Wars followed the events of The Phantom Menace (1. Attack of the Clones (2. Revenge of the Sith (2. Lego Star Wars II is based on Star Wars (1. The Empire Strikes Back (1. Return of the Jedi (1. The game comically retells the trilogy's events using cut scenes without dialogue.[6][7][8][9] The player assumes the roles of the films' characters, each of which possess specific weapons and abilities.[1. At any time, a second player can join the game by activating a second controller.[6] During game play, players can collect Lego studs–small, disk- shaped objects that serve as the game's currency. The player has a health meter, which is displayed on the game's heads- up display. The player's health is represented by four hearts; when these hearts are depleted the player dies and a small amount of their studs bounce away. However, they instantly respawn and can often recollect the lost studs.[6]The game's central location is the Mos Eisley Cantina, a spaceport bar on the planet Tatooine.[6] At the counter, the player may use their Lego studs to purchase characters, vehicles, gameplay hints and extras, or activate cheat codes.[1. In a small area outside the cantina, players may view collected vehicles.[1. The game is broken into levels, which are accessed from the cantina; [1. The locations include Hoth, Bespin, Dagobah, Tatooine, the Death Star, and Endor.[1. The game also features bonus levels.[1. During levels, the player defeats enemies, builds objects out of Lego bricks[1. Certain levels are played entirely while piloting vehicles, including a TIE fighter, a Snowspeeder, and the Millennium Falcon. Levels must first be played in story mode. This unlocks the next level as well as a "free play" mode for the recently completed level. Gameplay is identical in the two modes. However, story mode restricts playable characters to those followed in the film scenes the levels are based on, while free play offers all those unlocked.[1. Levels can be replayed in either mode to collect studs and secret items.[2]Three types of secret items are available: gold bricks, minikits and power bricks. Within each level is hidden one power brick. When a power brick is collected, its corresponding extra, such as invincibility or stud multipliers, becomes available for purchase. Each level also contains ten hidden minikits, that is, ten pieces of a Star Wars vehicle.[1. When all ten have been collected, the player is awarded a gold brick.[1. Collecting a certain number of gold bricks unlocks free rewards, such as a spigot that spews out studs. Gold bricks are also awarded when levels are completed and when a predefined number of studs is accumulated in a level; ninety- nine gold bricks are available.[1. The vehicles represented by the minikits are displayed outside the cantina. As each vehicle is completed (all ten minikits collected), it becomes available for play in a bonus level.[1. Playable characters[edit]Over 5. Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, R2- D2, C- 3. PO,[2. 0]Darth Vader, Wicket the Ewok,[2. Boba Fett.[2. 2] Character abilities have a greater role in Lego Star Wars II than in Lego Star Wars.[2. Certain characters armed with guns can use a grappling hook in predesignated areas. Characters wielding lightsabers can deflect projectiles, double jump and use the Force.[2. R2- D2, C- 3. PO, and other droid characters are needed to open certain doors.[2. Small characters like the Ewok and Jawa can crawl through hatches to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. Bounty hunters, such as Boba Fett, may use thermal detonators to destroy otherwise indestructible objects.[2. Sith, like Darth Vader, can use the Force to manipulate black Lego objects.[2. Some characters have unique abilities; for example, Chewbacca can rip enemies' arms from their sockets, Darth Vader can choke enemies with the Force,[1. Princess Leia possesses a slap attack,[9] and Lando Calrissian can use a kung- fu- like attack.[2. Special abilities are often necessary to unlock secrets, and story mode does not always provide characters with needed abilities. This means that some secrets can only be found in free play mode.[2. The player can unlock the "Use Old Save" extra, which imports all unlocked characters from Lego Star Wars for use in free play; [1. Lego Star Wars saved game must be present on the same memory card that contains Lego Star Wars II's save data.[1. Players can create two customized characters in the Mos Eisley Cantina.[6][1. These characters can be built using both miscellaneous parts and those of unlocked characters; [2. Entering two cheat codes, publicized by IGN, makes pieces for a Santa Claus character available.[3. The game generates names for the characters based on the pieces used (for example, a character made from pieces of Darth Vader and C- 3. PO might have the name "Darth- 3. PO"); alternately, the player may create a name.[2. Development[edit]Lego Star Wars II was created by the Cheshire, England, game developer Traveller's Tales.[3. Lucas. Arts—busy with other projects—had deferred publishing of Lego Star Wars to Eidos Interactive, but regained the "necessary resources" to publish its sequel alongside TT Games Publishing.[1. Lego Star Wars II was created for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Xbox, Game. Cube, Play. Station 2, Game Boy Advance (GBA), Nintendo DS, Play. Station Portable (PSP), and Xbox 3. Differences exist between platforms: the DS and GBA versions have some different playable characters than the other versions, and the DS and PSP versions support a "Wireless Lobby" for multiplayer gameplay.[1. The Xbox 3. 60 and Play. Station 2 versions of the game feature higher- definition graphics.[3. Lego Star Wars II uses a modified Lego Star Wars engine.[3. However, many gameplay improvements were made over its predecessor, most notably camera angles and movement.[2. Camera movement in co- op was a specific point of concern, as Lucas. Arts received critical feedback from fans over this issue. Traveller's Tales looked to expand upon the concept of levels completed entirely in vehicles. These "vehicle levels" were explored more thoroughly in Lego Star Wars II than in its predecessor.[3. In response to complaints from fans, Lucas. Arts and Traveller's Tales granted the ability to build bricks to all non- droid characters.[3. Character customization, an entirely new concept, was considered a significant improvement over the original game,[3. Tom Stone, director at Traveller's Tales, stated of the various improvements made over the original game: “We were surprised and, of course, delighted that the original game was played and enjoyed by so many people .. And with all of the new improvements and features along with the Original Trilogy we're implementing into LEGO Star Wars II, we're confident that the new game has what it takes to entertain even more gamers than before.[3. The designers attempted to recreate the films' characters and events in a "cute" way. Assistant producer Jeff Gullet said that, in the game's recreation of a Return of the Jedi scene where Luke Skywalker "jumps off the plank .. Skywalker "performs an all- out acrobatic routine with all sorts of jumps from the plank. It's hilarious". Lucas. Star Wars' Blu- ray set - today > entertainment - today > entertainment > movies. Much anticipated, this collection is. Years in the making, “Star Wars: The Complete Saga” makes its Blu- ray debut on Sept. And only on Blu- ray. There is no companion DVD release). It is a nine- disc Star Destroyer of a set. It contains 4. 0+ hours of bonus content, nearly all of it extremely rare or never- before seen. Suggested retail price, $1. Amazon.)This should be a moment long remembered in the annals of "Star Wars" fandom. Instead, it’s the latest flare- up in the ongoing feud between fans and the Emperor of the Jedi Galaxy, George Lucas. Video: Lucasfilm uses force to fight cancer (on this page). More Entertainment stories. Autistic ballerina dances her way into hearts. In a popular You.

His continual tweaking of the original films has alienated more people than smugglers who drop their cargo at the first sign of Imperial trouble. Even celebrity fans like Simon Pegg (“Star Trek,” “Paul”) have ripped Lucas on Twitter for not leaving their original films alone. Story: Movies we're looking forward to this fall. What has the fans riled up this time? For starters, nowhere on any of those nine discs will you find the original theatrical releases of the Original Trilogy. That omission irks many "Star Wars" aficionados, according to Bill Hunt, editor of the website Digital Bits. George seems to have this stubborn idea that he’ll just make the original versions go away by withholding them from fans, but that’s just absurd,” said Hunt. It’s never going to happen.”. Story: Piranha, mad surgeons and more offer movie scares. The digitally remastered versions found in this collection are the 1. Special Edition. That means Greedo still shoots first in “A New Hope,” in high definition no less. Even more changes have been made to the original films, some cosmetic (the glow of a light saber), others a bit more .. Ewoks blink now). The prequels get freshened up, too. Video: Killing Star Wars, one Ewok at a time (on this page). Here are 7 surprises in the "Star Wars" Blu- ray set. Oh Nooooo! Vader’s ‘Jedi’ yell. Remember at the end of “Revenge of the Sith,” when we finally see the completion of Anakin Skywalker’s turn to the Dark Side, and he becomes Darth Vader? Then you probably recall how that incredible scene, something "Star Wars" fans had been waiting to see for years, was undercut by Vader’s instantly infamous “NOOOOOOOO!”Guess what Lucas decided to add to the climactic moment in “Jedi” when Vader saves Luke from the Emperor? Uh- huh. The Sith Lord now also says ‘NOOOOOO!’ before he gives Palpatine the shaft and tosses him over the rail. Story: Darth Vader makes his fantasy football pick. The Internet nearly cracked in half when news of this change leaked. Either Lucas likes the continuity of having Vader bellow the same silly thing in the end film of both trilogies, or he just wanted to get under the skin of the segment of the fan base annoyed with all his tweaks. Mission accomplished, George. Obi- Wan sounds different. No, Lucas didn’t overdub Sir Alec Guinness’ voice with Ewan Mc. Gregor’s, though considering how much "Star Wars" fame bothered the late Guinness, he may not have minded it. Story: One man, 3. Star Wars' voices: Impressive, it is. Instead, Lucas has replaced the Dragon Krayt scream "old Ben Kenobi" uses to scare off the Sand People who attacked Luke and Threepio early on in “A New Hope.” It sounds completely different, and to be honest, not at all that bad. But the new audio also adds nothing to the scene, so .. One fan has created a video linking up audio of the new scream with the original clip.)Yoda goes CGI. The Grand Master Jedi is getting a digital makeover. Instead of the puppet Yoda that was used in “The Phantom Menace,” Lucasfilm’s tech maestros have subbed in a fully computer- generated version of the greatest of all Jedi. Considering how puppet Yoda stood out in the CGI- scape of Episode One, this is a welcome change. Now if only they could have figured out a way to digitally scrub Jar Jar Binks from “The Phantom Menace.” Deleted scenes. When you’re talking about a film franchise like "Star Wars," any unseen footage is a big deal. And the deleted scenes are the highlight of this set. According to Hunt from Digital Bits, several of the deleted scenes from “A New Hope” showed up years ago in low- quality form on a CD- ROM called “Star Wars: Behind The Magic.” But most have never seen the light of day, until now. I’ve seen a few of them [on the Blu- ray] and they’re really exciting,” he said. Major stuff .. things fans have been wanting to see for decades.” Up to 4. One of the biggies is an. The Empire Strikes Back” where we first get a glimpse of the romantic tension between Han and Leia. Besides that, there is another deleted “Empire” scene involving Wampas and the rebel base on Hoth. Story: Han and Leia heat up in deleted 'Empire' scene. From “Return of the Jedi,” there is a sequence involving a sandstorm after Han’s rescue from Jabba’s palace. The outtakes from “A New Hope” include one scene with Luke and Biggs, and another where Aunt Beru pours blue milk. Trivial? Yes. But weren’t you always curious what moisture farmers actually farmed? The prequels have a number of extra scenes that haven’t been released before, too, but it’s the footage from the first three — material that’s been under lock and key for decades — that make this collection special. In this day and age, it's rare for any existing footage to be kept off the Internet for very long, whether it gets there via leaks or marketing campaigns,” said Rick Marshall, contributor for Movies. IFC. Behind the scenes features. The enduring popularity of "Star Wars" means even normally mundane material such as "Making Of" documentaries is highly sought after by diehards. Princess Leia not making Carrie Fisher rich. Disc IX features several hours of behind- the- scenes features. The gems are “The Making of Star Wars,” which was created in 1.

Easter eggs: 'Star Wars Holiday Special'? While still unconfirmed, word is the Star Wars Blu- ray collection is loaded with hidden Easter Eggs — intentionally hidden content. Speculation is there may be an episode of the 1. Droids” hidden on one of the discs. The biggest rumor, however, is that the legendary 1. Star Wars Holiday Special” may appear in some way, shape or form in the set. Story: Fall movies offer some very familiar faces. Lucas reportedly keeps the only masters of the hilariously awful TV special under lock and key because he was embarrassed by it. But releasing this quirky piece of "Star Wars" history could help mend some fences with some of those unhappy longtime fans. One thing we can confirm which is included is a 9. Star Wars" spoofs and parodies. Which goes to show that Lucas may have his issues with tradition, but he does have a sense of humor. What do you think of all the tweaking of the "Star Wars" films?
