When the game “Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga” was released Nov. 6, 2007, it was highly influential and featured levels from multiple movies. 

The game had substance, and who doesn’t like that?  The more players that can get into a game, the more it’s worth the purchase.

Now “Star Wars the Skywalker Saga” has upgraded the game for the new generation, featuring the new films and adding new mechanics to it.

Lego games are well known for its huge roster of collectible characters. In this large open world, players can complete side missions and play through levels to collect characters from a wide array of films. The new Saga game is changing Legos’ usual style with a full blown world with a lot of events and many things to discover. 

Lego has been a huge toy company for years and have allowed millions of people to express themselves, calm themselves, and create a WWII death camp and sell it to a museum. Then there are those who just play the games. 

“The Skywalker Saga” will be released April. 5, and no doubt kids are excited for the game. The graphics look great with huge improvements from the original 2007 version. 

But when it comes to Lego games, there are going to be a lot of bugs. Players will have to redo an entire level or get stuck at one part, forcing a restart or a full on crash. 

The humor of Lego games has changed throughout the years, like a character’s hand being cut off and becoming a pet. Part of the earlier games charm is the characters only using various sounds in place of words. In this new game, characters are fully voiced which takes some of the charm away. 

The combat has drastically changed as well. Third person shooting has been introduced with more advanced lightsaber combat. Enemies are more advanced with dodging and blocking. Players can also roll out of the way in combat.

Looking at the information section of the game, it appears full completion will take a long time.           

Another positive with the new game is ship combat. There will be custom options for a player’s ship, many from the franchise, to use in space.            

 Some of the levels will be remakes of the Saga, as well as new ones for the sequel trilogy. With new technology it will be interesting to see what the game creators have done transforming these classic levels with the upgraded graphics.

The game will reportedly have an open world with all nine films being portrayed. Many planets, such as the classic Tatooine, will hold hidden secrets and enemies to defeat. There will be some explorable areas of space, allowing players to immerse themselves completely.

Lego games have had a linear design for years, but this game could spell more complex games for the future. There is much dislike for open worlds due to their emptiness. People are under the impression that small polished areas are superior to a shell of an open landscape. But given just enough polish, an open world can improve the quality depending on the type of game you are making. 

Star Wars is a genre perfect for open worlds because of its many planets and iconic buildings. The many interesting planets and life spells make for a fine amount of variety for an open world game in the Star Wars setting. Star Wars has many creatures not included in the films to offer to a video game setting and many more planets as well.

Smaller Star Wars characters, such as the female yoda seen briefly in the prequels, will be in the game as well. Characters in the Disney+ show “The Mandalorian” could feature as open world unlockables in the game as well. 

This will be a great game for fans who enjoy Lego games and Star Wars.There is no doubt that any fan of these Lego games will want to check it out.
