So, based on that Endor screenshot, the bonus missions that bridge Jedi and Awakens start immediately after, or even during Jedi? Interesting. I wonder how extensive it will be and what material they'll be adapting for it.

Nothing of substance.

Of course they had to joke about the sword, of course! :lol

 

[Armadilo]

Wow

 

[Dominator]

Vita version lives!

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

I'm wondering if that's going to be the pre-Maz Kanata part, the journey from the Falcon to her place through the jungle.

That's definitely young Han and Young Leia though. You can see what the "Old Han" mini-fig looks like in the recreation of the movie poster.

 

[Flunkie]

FUCK YES VITAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Plasma]

Figured they'd wait for all three movies to come out first before they did one of these.

Nah man, that'd mean they could only sell one game. Now they can sell three + a complete collection at the end Money printing machine.

 

[fernoca]

Hmm...Nintendo Network logo (DLC!?..but Lego Avengers is missing the logo and has DLC...Online multi? Mistake?) and PS3/PS4 versions have a mention of exclusive content right next to the ESRB rating.

 

[Forkball]

Xbox 360 still getting new releases in 2016.

 

[Flunkie]

hopefully the portable versions will get a decent port -- given recent releases, I'd say it's safe to say we will. just don['t want Lego Movie The Game quality ports

 

[Dominator]

Thinking about it, it really is amazing how they crank these LEGO games out. Avengers JUST came out with Dimensions and Jurassic World not that far behind it.

I wonder if they will have a game this holiday... Maybe Dimensions 2.

 

[Plasma]

I wonder if that's the release date of the blu ray as well I'd imagine that they'd release it alongside that.

Isn't April 5th confirmed for the Blu or was that rumour?

Amazon and Blu-Ray.com have both let slip that it's coming April 5.

 

[est1992]

Crazy how they make these LEGO games so fast and so effortlessly. TT still has two other games due out this year.

 

[Durden77]

I haven't played a Lego game in a long time and I'm still all hype on Star Wars. I might get this.

 

[ChaosZeroX]

Disney to EA

Lmao this is great

 

[Luq]

Ok, it may be my first LEGO game where I'll srsly try to get 100% unlocks.

Two? What else besides Worlds?

 

[Scotia]

Was hoping that someone would make this. Pretty hyped.

That line about characters from Episode 6 gets my hopes up for Boba and Vader.

 

[//ARCANUM]

Take my money.

 

[Hedge]

Never played a Lego game before. I always hear such mixed reviews.
Maybe I'll try this one.

 

[T.O.P]

Lego + Star Wars = me throwing money at the screen

 

[teeny]

Yes, finally Trailer looks great!

 

[Jb]

They do have two studios.

Interested to see how they'll find enough material in one movie to fill a Lego game that usually regroups a trilogy of movies.

They're pretty good. Content can get a bit repetitive if you go for 100%, but even then it's not that bad. I think the biggest issue for poorer reviews over the years has been franchise fatigue. They release multiple times a year and don't evolve that much, so reviewers tend to knock them down for that. If you're new to the series that obviously wouldn't be an issue though.

Vita and probably Original 3DS confirmed.

O yes! Lego games <3

+1 sale vita

There was an Endor screenshot amongst them so I reckon they're going to pull from Shattered Empire and potentially other new EU stuff like Aftermath and Lost Stars (haven't read it, though, not sure if it would be appropriate). They might even be doing some original content between the OT and ST.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Can't wait for this to turn into another mess like LEGO Hobbit or LEGO Indy 2. What are they going to fill the game with? Remastered levels from LEGO Star Wars 1 & 2?

 

[AusRoachman]

Just bought avengers and now they come out with this . SOLD

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

The Lego Movie Videogame did fine adapting a single movie, and that was much shorter animated movie. They could easily stretch this into at least 15 levels (like Lego Movie), and then add in 3-5 bonus missions based on the time frame between Jedi and Awakens.

I'd take it!

I'm part of the problem

 

[MAtgS]

Right, let me see if I can figure this one out:

1. Tuanul Village
-Poe, BB-8, Lor San Tekka

2. Exploring Jakku
-Rey, BB-8

3. Escape from the Finalizer
-Finn (Stormtrooper), Poe

4. Escape from Jakku
-Rey, Fin, BB-8

5. Han's freighter
-Rey, Finn, BB-8, Han, Chewie

6. Arrival on Takodana (more exploration & puzzle than battle)
-Han, Chewie, Rey, Finn, BB-8

7. Battle of Takodana
-Han, Chewie, Rey, Finn, Finn (Lightsaber), BB-8

8. Prepping at Resistance Base (build puzzles involving constructing the X-Wings)
-Han, Leia, Finn, Poe (X-Wing Pilot), C-3PO

9. Escape from Starkiller Base
-Rey, Stormtrooper (mind controlled)

10. Infiltrating Starkiller Base
-Han, Finn, Chewie

11. Assault on Starkiller Base
-X-Wing (Poe), X-Wing (Blue Squadron)

12. Kylo Ren Duel
-Rey, Rey

The new Lego Avengers game is the first portable one with the same open-world structure (and same map, I think, although different tasks, is that correct?) so hopefully they're using that same approach for LEGO Star Wars Force Awakens. I do hope so, because I really want to get one of these for my Vita or 3DS (I just enjoy the silliness and puzzles of LEGO games, although I haven't had one in a while) but Marvel isn't really my fandom, so I'm ready to buy this if I can't get myself to pull the trigger on LEGO Avengers.

 

[Rodney McKay]

Right, let me see if I can figure this one out:

[Level descriptions]

Hm, still comes up a bit short.

Sounds pretty correct. The games with 3 movies usually have like 5-6 levels per movie if I remember right, so this gives them about two 'movies' worth of levels with this one movie and then there's the stuff they're adding to bridge episodes 6 and 7.

There'll probably be a forest moon of Endor level (last 'level' of episode 6) and then a few others.

Can't wait for this to turn into another mess like LEGO Hobbit or LEGO Indy 2.

I doubt this will happen to be honest. Star Wars is one of if not THE biggest IP for LEGO and probably the biggest selling LEGO games. I'd probably have liked them to wait for at least the next Star Wars movie before making a game, but as long as it has as much content as a typical LEGO game I might be OK with them doiing it this way.

Worst case scenario they'll come out with a compilation pack eventually with all the games bundled in one once Episode 9 comes out, but since Disney is basically doing Star Wars movies every year that'll give them plenty of material for the games.

 

[Brad Grenz]

Disney to EA

Not knowing the specifics of the contract it's possible EA still gets piece of this game.

 

[JohnnyWestlake]

Argh, I want a Star Wars game based off of Episode 7, but not this. I dislike *all* Lego games of this vein (Marvel, DC, Hobbit, Star Wars, etc), because they all play like the same damn thing. Smash things, collect studs, press a button to build other things, switch between characters to hit switches. It's no wonder they churn out so many of them.


If, however, they PS4/X1 version's looked as good as the trailer renders (which won't happen :'( ) I'd be all over them!

 

[HUELEN10]

BB-8 looks cute in the trailer.

Add a last level that ends like the movie does.

Spoiler

Rey finding Luke with puzzles level

 

[_Spr_Drnk]

YES!

I been wondering why this wasn't a thing yet. So much money to make here, Disney!

Let's hope the game is just as fun as the older lego Star Wars game. Also, no VA please, it takes the charm out of the Lego games.

The voice acting in Lego city undercover was brilliant.

Some bridging levels in the same format as the Captain America 2, Iron Man 3, Thor The Dark World levels from Marvel Avengers.

Spoiler

one off levels that are just one character describing the events before you play through the level.

No doubt this game will have the voices ripped from the movie. It's not really bothering me much in Avengers but lets just hope TFA isn't filtered so much the dialogue comes through sounding like crap.

Rey's vision could easily be stretched into a whole level if they wanted to. That's really all I can think of though. There's Rey on Ahch-To, but then you'd be closing out the game with a non-combat mission.

You miiiight be able to split some of the Jakku missions up though.

There's a Force Awakens playset for Disney Infinity which is alright.

Is this trailer in game footage? The lighting and materials look seriously insane.
