To celebrate May 4th Traveler’s Tales and Warner Bros have released a brand new and highly amusing trailer for the forthcoming LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The game is heading to the Wii U on June 28th and looks set to be a blast. You’ll notice from the trailer posted that there’s additional story on top of the film which should help flesh things out a little more. Be sure to check out the trailer for the game, below.

MAY THE 4TH BE WITH Y’ALL!

I’ll see what other people think before considering this one. I’m used to the trilogies. This feels like a cash grab from Disney.
Everything about Star Wars is a cash grab, has been since the 70’s. Also, the Star Wars Lego games started as individual games before they were bundled into a trilogy. It was the first Lego game i played and to this day it’s the only Lego games that I really care for. I will say, dimensions looks really neat but i have way too many amiibo to even think about getting into dimensions anytime soon lol
The first Lego star wars game included the entire prequel trilogy not just one movie. And the second game included the entire original trilogy. They didn’t start out based on single movies.
I wouldn’t say everything Star Wars has been a cash grab, though this one seems to be. There has been a huge market for Star Wars since it was first introduced, but that doesn’t make all the items part of a cash grab. Most of the games that have come out have been high quality, entertaining titles.
I guess I was remembering it wrong, you’re right, the first one I played was eps 1,2,3 on the original xbox. But yeah, i mean they probably won’t wait till eps 9 just to release it as a trilogy. Also, I think this new one will include secret paths you can find and have additional character backstory, so it should be a pretty big game.
I hope so. Like I said I’ll wait to see all the features.
found this description on the gamestop site, it sounds good to me:
One of the concerns I had about the latest entry in the Lego Star Wars series orbited around its seemingly small scale. Where previous entries compiled the events from several movies or seasons of a show, I assumed that Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens would be solely devoted to what you saw from that movie. It’s a fun film, to be sure, but it didn’t seem like a bounty of content. As it turns out, that’s only part of the story. TT Fusion is indeed retelling the story from that movie, but it’s also using the events as a launching point for a slew of side content, including exclusive story missions that add to Star Wars canon. We’ve got a few examples, too.
“Obviously, each IP gives us some very specific content that adds interest to the titles,” says Mike Taylor, head of design at TT Fusion. “The obvious one in Jurassic World was dinosaurs, we got to play around with dinosaurs, which is great. The thing with The Force Awakens is that we’ve had the privilege of being able to create some additional content, some additional levels that take place before the events of The Force Awakens and allow us to explore some of the backstory of the characters, which is an absolute dream for any fan of Star Wars. There’s lots of exclusive stuff there, and we’ve drawn from the content in some of the other additional materials that Lucasfilm have been involved in.”
Not all of it is exclusive, since Star Wars lore is distributed across a wide spectrum of media. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens will likely be the way that smaller fans learn about some of it, as game director Jamie Eden explains. “I think we package it in a way that younger audiences can get to see those. Younger kids getting to play those levels that are based on books or comics that they might not have access to but they can play through as part of Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
There are six missions that TT Fusion describes as bridge content. These pop up after completing story missions based on the film, after every two or so. They’re optional, and require that players collect a certain amount of gold bricks before they’re unlocked – similar to how Traveller’s Tales’ Deadpool missions worked in Lego Marvel Super Heroes. One key difference is that these are full-fledged missions, not the smaller experiences that the Merc with a Mouth delivered.
I’m not a huge fan of the Lego series games but the Lego Star Wars games have all been excellent so far. I hope this one is good too because I am probably going to buy it.
I watched the movie recently and really enjoyed it. I hadn’t seen any Star Wars movie before it, but now I plan on watching the older movies. I feel like I could definitely get into Star Wars. Not sure why I waited this long to start though. Oh well. Time to binge watch!
I’m curious to know what you think of the old ones after starting with the new one. Personally I was disaapointed with the new one. I think I just got too overhyped. So many people told me it was amazing that I expected too much of it.
Sure. I’ll tell you when I do get around to them!
My favorite Star Wars movie is probably Episode I The Phantom Menace. Young Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) is sooooo hot. Plus I love the villain in that one and all the action.
