Comparing Every Version of Lego Star Wars: Part 4 - A New Hope

[@GrandJediMaster7860]

A New Hope is also playable in the original 2005 game based on Episodes I-III. It's basically the prologue - except it's presented in a slightly different way. Great episode - looking forward to Empire.

[@UnabridgedGamer]

Yeah, that version was actually my preferred intro sequence for that movie. It was a brilliant easter egg and one of the only LEGO levels where you can play as a bad guy.

[@aamirrazak3467]

I forgot about that was cool how you could play episode 4 from the beginning

[@asdaneedsfunds]

Yes, you needed to complete all of the "True Jedi" coin collections in every level - which was only challenging in the vehicle levels...

[@gonkdroid8279]

Good point, closest thing we have to a Rogue One level, lol

[@expendableindigo9639]

Also playable as a bonus level in Complete Saga.

[@winnerwatson1883]

The Original Trilogy on the NDS is certainly an interesting kettle of fish. The port was developed by Amaze Entertainment while The Complete Saga on NDS was developed by TT Fusion. I remember the The Original Trilogy on NDS being a very buggy mess when you progress onwards to Episode 5 and 6. It was especially on Free Play mode where I encountered the most bugs. I distinctly remember an Endor level where I was moving during an in-game cutscene and I got lead into crossroads which all looked the same.

[@julians552]

I think the Tantive IV was the first level they made. It's so different to the rest of the game which takes place exclusively in the open world but with a few additions like hostile stormtroopers. The rest of the levels are reserved for quick boss fights... It's a bit sad because I really liked how many paths there were to finish the Tantive IV level.

[@UnabridgedGamer]

I wouldn't be surprised, as I remember early press demos focusing on the Tantive IV. Given how notoriously heinous the dev cycle was for TSS, I imagine most of the actually complete levels were either holdovers or to patch together the giant void of nothing sandboxes.

[@aamirrazak3467]

I’ve been looking forward to this! Thanks for continuing this series, I have fond memories of playing this episode in the complete saga!

[@Jack-tp8rb]

I'm so glad you talked about the original trilogy on the DS. I remember playing it like crazy as a kid and later thinking it was a fever dream because that game was a buggy mess lol

[@ohana_j4n]

i had fun but fever dream is the perfect wording for this :D

[@gonkdroid8279]

Agreed, completely forgot about the enemy aliens on Tatooine, some species that Lego hasn't even made to this day

[@TheFirstCurse1]

After watching these videos along with others on LEGO games, I ordered The Complete Saga for DS so I can play it on my 3DS. I'm bedridden right now so I can't wait to play this game again after over a decade.

[@leotheliongames]

I hope the game provides some levity! ❤

[@realsalu634]

i love how in the original trilogy NDS port cutscenes, the characters hurt themselves (Can be seen in 6:02/6:53)

[@hollow7899]

I'm so glad you pointed out the micro model of the Star Destroyer! I noticed that during my last playthrough of TCS, and my theory is that the full scale Star Destroyer wasn't made when they developed a New Hope, because you see it later on in the Empire Strikes Back

[@2HackFrauds]

Either that or they included it intentionally as a little joke. The shot that makes the Star Destroyer look massive? Use the little micro model.

[@benedictrogers1478]

@@2HackFrauds Yeah, that's pretty much the sense of humour of the original games. It feels like the moment they decided to not have the characters speak they decided to insert as many visual gags as possible.

[@DaDoom1]

The Skywalker saga if you presue the side quests pays special attention to the EU too, lots of references to characters/side stories not in the movies like a whole side quest that pokes fun at a rebel data machine being an ice cream machine, which was what the prop was in Empire

[@delushikong9797]

Even if it was completely glitchy, I have a soft spot in my heart for Lego Star Wars II for the DS. It was a birthday present and I played it everyday, getting all the characters I could without using cheats. Just a tiny masterpiece from my memories

[@karlispovisils5297]

I never really used the cover system in Skywalker Saga. I think it's much more fun to go in guns blazing. Also, destroying the cover barriers gets you studs.

[@windberbrandt]

A lot of my playthrough consisted of destroying the barriers for studs. And then rebuilding them for even more studs! They give more opportunity for combat combos than the actual enemies.

[@TheLonelyGoomba]

Another great video my dude. Glad to see you still going strong

[@Flandrew]

Thank you, bud

[@shogun_e1337]

Can I just say your Alec Guinness impression is on point?

Also, the GBA version of LSWII is such an awesome game! Far better than the first one, an absolute hidden gem

[@brandonkirkendall1466]

Nice video, but you forgot about the A New Hope bonus level in Lego Star Wars: The Video Game that you unlocked when you got True Jedi in every level where you played as Darth Vader and fought Rebel troopers onboard the Tantive IV until you reach Princess Leia hiding the Death Star plans inside R2-D2 and it says "To be continued," hinting at Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. It was also later included as a bonus level in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. Did the GBA version of Lego Star Wars: The Video Game have a bonus level like that?

[@gapfmmadeira]

The gba version didnt had a bonus levels like that

[@topherowlish]

That's awesome the Skywalker Saga has all the levels actually built with Legos. That always annoyed me in the original Lego games. Great series! Looking forward to Empire and Jedi next.

[@RC--ji2ov]

It’s not all the levels, however any level set inside a ship like the death star, tantive, or the opening of episode 1 are all fully modelled with legos. Any outdoors area is usually a mix of both but mostly not legos

[@brands2012]

First video on my KZbin feed, always look forward to Sunday nights, can’t wait for V-VII

[@jlev1028]

Also, you showing off the DS port of Lego Star Wars II makes me miss the period when handheld versions of Lego games weren't just copycats of their console counterparts. I remember actually fighting Bane in the DS version of Lego Batman and reading dialogue in the DS port of Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4.

[@visqah9139]

[@herolink1362]

The force awakens did at least get it's own game so that would be interesting. But yeah 8&9 should probably be together. Even LEGO gave up on those two as they barely released any sets for them.

[@njnjco]

My introduction to the Lego Star Wars games as a kid was the Lego Star Wars 2 The Original Trilogy on the GBA. I got super into it and 100%'d it. Well, I actually 99%'d it. I did everything, bought everything, and collected everything in the game, but it never went to 100%. I spent a stupid amount of time replaying every level over and over trying to figure out what I was missing. I've heard that there's a glitch where no matter what you do, you can't get the last 1%, but I didn't have access to the internet back then, so I just kept trying whatever I could think of. I played the story mode levels in order from start to finish, because I thought there might be a hidden achievement for that. There wasn't. It drove me crazy. I love the first 2/Complete Saga era Lego Star Wars games, but the GBA port of the Original Trilogy will always be rose colored for me, because I refuse to take off these glasses.

[@herrjohnssen]

TCS > Skywalker Saga

[@0spreii]

honestly i agree i could never complete ep3 on tcs but tss was kinda overwhelming havent touched it for a while

[@kurokorichanTP2006]

Yes. 100%

[@hotrod0331]

⁠@@kurokorichanTP2006 I’d give TCS a 98% because I’d rather explore multiple hub worlds instead of just being confined to just one, the space battles were garbage and only got better by Lego LSW3: TCW, and I much prefer being able to choose what ever character you want instead of being confined to a pre-determined party in free play. But, other than that I completely agree that TCS is still a better game than TSS.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Apples and oranges in game design. Honestly, while Skywalker Saga may fall short in the pacing in some areas, I do enjoy just exploring the hub worlds and dicking around coruscant or whatever.

[@georgehiscott700]

1:36 C-3po:"I feel so helpless"

[@ceneblock]

Even in The Complete Saga there is a noticable difference in play between the prequels and original movies. I don't know if it was so much the developers preferred one or the other, but I think instead it was split up into two teams.

[@MrPsyren99]

It's because all the lvls are basically directly lifted from their respective game and with Lego star wars 1 being the first Lego game in that style it's going to be more simplistic compared to the sequel where they figure out more of what they want to do.

[@enything2000]

LEGO Star Wars II The Original Trilogy for the PS2 was the first LEGO game I ever played and shortly after that I did go back and play LEGO Star Wars The Video Game and then of course The Complete Saga and well as you know the rest is history.

THe NDS version of LG:SW2 was so good, but so buggy. I remember finding a way to spawn playable ships into normal character levels. And the Multiplayer was so fun, but using any character with a lightsaber would cause a crash the moment you attacked. Must have beaten it 100x over as a kid, must have been so rushed but you could feel the passion put into it.

[@cillianennis9921]

The DS Original trilogy game always seemed better to me as it allowed you to play as any character you want in free play. A thing that wouldn't appear in a lego game again until Lego Indiana Jones 2. It used the touch screen to give you the full character screen using a thing of the DS to make up slightly for its limitations also its custom characters are more in depth.

[@ahman324]

lmao this part is the funniest so far

[@AutomatonArchive]

I think Star Wars II on the DS is one of the worst games I've ever played. The Death Star escape level in IV was pretty much impossible to complete in Free Play without running into some kind of glitch - it was a pretty "open" level, so if you tried going through it in the wrong order a lot of it would just break. Sometimes the Falcon disappear so you couldn't progress, and the "bottomless" pits suddenly had solid bottoms where you'd get stuck if you fell down. Probably the worst glitch the entire game was the fact you seemingly couldn't replay the fight with the Emperor in RotJ, which meant there was no way to collect the minikits in that level which required characters like C-3PO. There was also a way to enter a vehicle level's ship selection screen, exit, then use those ships in the Cantina hub instead of your usual minifig characters. Easily changing back to minifigs was another matter, if not outright impossible if you chose any ship larger than a speeder bike.
