Every Difference Between Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga and Lego Star Wars 2

[@ariner19]

If copyright is an issue, for future videos you can turn off the film music in the game’s settings

[@AccurateThings]

This is it

[@StrangeCorvus]

Or you can also use those sites that separate music from vocals/sound effects.

[@DanBen07]

I think it's complete saga where you turn off the music in the settings and the cantina band then have no instruments but when music on they do have instruments.

[@caesarspeaks]

Doesn’t work in cutscenes

[@JediJared-bs1wt]

It still plays in the cutscenes

[@BriskBounty7]

I prefer Mos Eisley from the second over the complete saga, it is so much more charming, mystique, and well designed. Am I the only one who thinks this?

[@carnage0685]

Nope, the second game’s hub is way better than TCS. I think in terms of outside areas, the outside of Dexter’s Diner is my favorite, though.

[@gelsept]

I feel like anyone can agree TCS hub is probably the worst out of any of the lego games, at least in terms of style & presentation.

[@loganpaschedag8829]

Yeah! I too much prefer Mos Eisley from TOT over TCS

[@Cyrukyen_Backup]

I want to like this but its at 69 likes So Plus like

[@nonexistendworm3449]

Yeah I didn't realize it was from TOT so I was confused and disappointed to not have found the "great outside" figured it was a secret my friend had found but nope we played TOT not TCS.

[@lucaskennington9101]

Something I noticed about both games is that the Death Star II is always just a JPEG of the official Lego set.

[@rayadkins81]

One difference you missed is in the Death Star Escape level, the ending cutscene actually has Luke Screaming while in The Complete Saga he just has blank expressions. Also even though challenges weren’t in the console version, but Challenge mode was actually in the PSP version. This is how the Prequel characters are unlocked, by completing a challenge you will get a prequel character. Princess Leia (Boushh) is different between both versions. In LSW2 she permanently haves the helmet making her a usable Bounty Hunter for free play, while TCS she doesn’t keep the helmet so you would have to buy a Bounty Hunter from Wuher in the Cantina.

[@IsaiahAyala20]

I was just about to say something like that, glad I'm not the only one who noticed this.

[@Hi_Just_Fred]

Yeah it's weird how some stuff is better in the complete saga and other stuff is just weirdly missing. That and the sound cutting out at the end of the millennium falcon level is real rough.

[@alanrowan6328]

In TCS, Princess Leia (Boushh) cannot put on the Boushh helmet on Jabba's Palace Free Play.

And no mention of how they for some reason gave Luke's death sound to a load of characters who didn't previously have one

[@deaconpoole7577]

In Lego Star Wars 2, with the Custom Character Creator, if you equip a custom character with a Black Hood and then play that character in a level and take them somewhere the camera can’t see them, their Icon will appear and display the Imperial Spy logo. In The Complete Saga, the icons for Custom Characters are just their actual silhouettes.

[@CrackedmaskYT]

Actually they are silhouettes of character with the same hat/hair (default obi wan hair for Afro)

[@Splicer87]

I played Lego Star Wars 2 on the PS2. I was able to play as prequel characters because my memory card had the save files of the first game. Therefore I could play whatever characters I had unlocked there. Pretty neat.

i grew up playing lego star wars 1 and 2 on the game cube and then i played the complete saga on my phone years later. the experience always felt way different playing the complete saga but i could never put my finger on why. so im the exact target audience for these videos. thank you for making them

[@Walid-mk4jo]

You we're honestly better off playing the complete saga on the Xbox 360 then on your phone since the mobile port of the complete saga is very buggy and not fun to play at all due to all the microtransactions and the controls themselves

[@GoldMan27]

@@andrewwang5149 Holy crap, same here! I also knew there were subtle differences between, I just chalked up the differences to having added the prequel films to TCS. But there is a surprising amount of differences nonetheless! Kind of glad I didn’t play on Xbox 360 though, only had to pay in studs to “Use Old Save”!

[@mickmufson1824]

In the opening cutscene of Betrayal Over Bespin, Han is still wearing his Hoth outfit when he is frozen in Carbonite instead of his Skiff outfit, this was fixed in The Complete Saga. Also in Lego Star Wars II, Leia (Boushh) wears her helmet outside of the Jabba’s Palace Story, which was changed in The Complete Saga.

[@Hi_Just_Fred]

I believe bounty hunter leia also cannot use bombs in complete saga while she can in 2.

[@mickmufson1824]

@@Hi_Just_Fred Anyone can use the thermal detonators if they are wearing the Boushh helmet in that level.

[@aresnir2725]

In Complete Saga many character models and other models has increased number of polygons (which makes them more smooth and detailed), and levels has enhanced textures. In some places, models were fixed to show their back/inner sides. There are many minor differences with shader effects.

[@monkeywithocd]

With the R2 cutscene, it doesn't look like they removed the red light, rather just added more lighting to the scene in general so the red light is much less apparent.

[@mreggs3731]

that's what I noticed, the red light is still there but less visible

[@AliceRose-p1y]

In Mos Eisley Space Port during the final part of the level the Imperial spy makes three different sounds into the walkie talkie in TCS. In the original trilogy he makes the same sound three times.

In betrayal, one of the free play minikits requires you to get into a room and shoot the chandelier in the sequel. In CS, you just have to get in, and the minikit is on the table.

[@slagwave]

I need to add that the complete saga has worse shading and lighting, but I think we all realized that.

[@generallegath974]

This was really interesting to watch. I grew up with both games, played the OT first and then Complete Saga. Always preferred to play the OT for nostalgic reasons. Seeing the differences highlighted made me realize how many subtle ones there really are. Thanks for this video.

[@JhonPittsburg]

Honestly a lot of the differences between the original games and TCS are probably just them not noticing details went missing when porting over the levels to a different game.

[@Whoatedmycookiez]

Why is TCS so damn BRIGHT? It's blindingly bright, i never realised. Makes TCS look worse side by side

[@SeanWheeler100]

At least it helps tell The Complete Saga apart from the original games.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Some of the lighting is more film accurate in TCS, if I'm not mistaken.

[@nortonhatfield7312]

That's why the tcs is easier to play than the sequel.

[@nortonhatfield7312]

The Xbox 360 version is an exception since the 360 has better graphics than the other system at that time that the sequel was released on

[@rainbowrunner1550]

In Escape From Echo Base, there's the room where you have to slide down a slope and hit the buttons on the way down to open the door to the next room. In The Complete Saga, a clip of the door opening plays, which isn't there in Lego Star Wars II. The Episode Bonus doors in the hub world must be built in Lego Star War II, but are already there in Complete Saga. In Lego Star Wars II, you get a Gold Brick for completing the Super Story (even if you do not beat 1 hour or 100,000 studs). While you no longer get a Gold Brick for completing the Super Story in The Complete Saga, it still counts towards your completion percentage. The text for completing Super Story is also slightly different between games. Using Return of the Jedi as an example, in Lego Star War II, it says: "Episode VI: Return of the Jedi - Super Story Complete" In The Complete Saga, the Episode and Roman Numeral aren't shown. It just says: "Return of the Jedi - Super Story Complete"

[@spyfreakm1]

There should be a mod for complete saga that restores the lighting and audio to that of the original two games.

[@cosmicjenny4508]

1:35 Minor correction, the separated Story Mode and Free Play stud meters *are* indeed present in another game, and funnily enough it’s The Complete Saga for Nintendo DS! Other than that that I noticed, great video! Some of the weird quirks between these two versions surprised me, honestly.

[@texrex9876]

I think you meant 2006 for the original game, but still a fantastic video! I never realized how much of a difference there was between the two. Thanks!

[@bennythevultureofficial]

In the sequel the bounty Hunter access panel pictures show Princess Leia in her Bouush disguise only in jabba's Palace. Also in the sequel in Dagobah, the astromech droid access panel picture flashes just like the protocol Droid access panel picture does in secret plans

[@AlexiosTheSixth]

0:28 tell me about it, younger me STRUGGLED on that room back in the day lol but dang that game was my childhood, I remember playing it on my mom's windows vista computer then eventually playing it on my own laptop

[@StarDestroyer362]

There is actually a trick to make that room easier. Buildable objects actually have checkpoints but only if you stop building them by yourself, so you need to start building then stop when more troopers spawn in and then just continue from where you left off after taking them out

[@Hi_Just_Fred]

The best strategy is standing just outside the room when the door opens and play as Han as he has the best dodge move. Just spam the shoot button and you shouldn't get hit, then rush to close the doors and kill any other troopers that spawn, and hurry to build the exit. After that no more should spawn, that room is horrible with any other strategy from what I noticed.

[@joeycommet45]

For Jundland Wastes in LSW2, there's a protocol panel that can be used by R2D2 near Obi Wan's house. Vice versa can be said for the panel in the Dagobah caves. They fixed this in TCS. Also the puzzle near the end of Dagobah is different. In LSW2 you had to put a motorcycle in a washing machine. TCS you don't do that.

[@CrashCubeZeroOne]

Oh yeah, now I understand why I felt something was missing from the end of Dagobah.

[@СлавныйЛехаОбломов]

They really f-cked up the lighting in the complete saga. Original trilogy has much better lighting

[@ionobru]

No 😂

[@monkeywithocd]

Depends on what scene you're looking at, but yeah. Some look a lot better in TCS, while others look a lot better in 2, which is just really surprising to me, but 2 looks like it had insufficient lighting in a lot of places so I think they just overcorrected sometimes to make sure the levels were readable. Oh, and TCS seems to slightly suffer from the bloom plague of the 7th console generation.

[@videogamingfreak13]

TCS is often way too bright while 2 is often way too dark. Personally I've always hated the way Dagobah looks in TCS, all the atmosphere is sucked right out of it, but some levels in 2 are so dark it can genuinely become difficult to see what you're doing.

[@ackepace]

absolutely! it looks so washed out, every level in the original looks so much better.

[@ackepace]

@@videogamingfreak13I don’t think the original is too dark. I would agree if your using this video as a reference but he seems to have very low gamma on the recording since the game doesn’t look like this when you actually play it.

[@manenusz1286]

I needed that video, thank you very much

[@Hi_Just_Fred]

The thing about the storm trooper room in Death Star escape is you gotta clear the room, then rush to close the doors, and then hurry building the door. Best way I found to deal with this is stand still and spam shooting as Han Solo as his automatic dodge is by far the best in the game. I almost never get hit when doing it this way, especially if I wait just outside the room and make the troopers rush towards me. But yeah that room SUCKS otherwise. lmao

When I was younger every summer I'd go to my Granddad's lakehouse for a few days. I'd usually get bored pretty quickly, but luckily he had an old pc with LEGO star wars II and star wars jedi academy. I couldn't have been happier as a star wars fan.

[@RelatedSnow8420]

Actually, the PSP version of LSW2 has Challenges. Speaking of the PSP version, all the Bounty Hunter missions are replaced with Boss Fights from Lego Star Wars 1, and are unlocked at the start of a new Save File. Along with that, unlocked characters don’t appear in the Cantina, presumably due to hardware limitations.

In LEGO Star Wars II, you can actually force choke/electrocute Battle Droids, Droidekas, and Genosians. However in TCS, regardless of playing as a Jedi or a Sith, they would be force pushed.

[@notgenericusername]

9:53 one difference that’s almost shown in the video itself is that the objective for the first area of Falcon Flight is different between games. In LSW2 you need to destroy all 16 turrets where in Complete Saga you need to use Proton Torpedos to knock out the Star Destroyers.

[@notgenericusername]

Wait hold on the one right after shows them being the same, is there different versions of LSW2??? Like I’m playing on GameCube right now I played that level like an hour ago and I know for a fact you can’t even obtain Proton Torpedos in the first area

Know things start to make sence I played Lego Star Wars II with my friend so I was confused that I couldn't find the big outside in the complete saga, I thought I somehow kept missing a door in Mos Eisley.

[@catholiccontriversy]

2:58 that basically ruined the complete saga for me. My best lego star wars memories are with "the speedo torpedo trooper," and making a custom character where I have slave Liea top, beach trooper bottom, trooper helmet for the trooper doors, red lightsaber for dark force powers, and a cape so I wouldn't confuse the beach trooper for my OP custom character.

[@falloutraider4168]

The gamecube version of lego star wars ll has different pitch sound effects, etc. Using the force to make someone dizzy or jumping off a cliff with certain characters

[@edwardgamerx9061]

I never liked that in TCS the character icons are the character models instead of sprites like in TOT, however this can be changed with a mod and fun fact: The DS version of The Complete Saga uses the original 2005-2006 render models, probably because the file sizes were smaller than the PC and home console abominations of icons.

[@sakikogookheng]

In the sequel game, if you equip your custom character with a Boba Fett helmet they can throw bounty hunter bombs and open panels. In the complete saga they cannot

[@ilikecats24-ct5nx]

There were a few smaller lego games which had two stud meters for each level, like ninjago shadow of ronin

[@auditect950]

I think you missed a lot of potential differences, which would come with comparing how the prequel characters function in both games. For example, I remember that in LSW2, you can actually force-push a Droideka, which you can't do in either LSW1 or TCS. Most players would never see that.

[@SirGsusFreak]

Wait. I had both Lego Star Wars 1 and 2 on my original Xbox, but I never got access to the prequel characters. Was that only for the 360 version, or am I missing something?

[@Mickelraven]

2:48 Actually, the reason why the hearts are spaced out in Lego Star Wars II, is because it's a 16:9 aspect ratio issue. The first game and Lego Star Wars II were both originally made for 4:3, and the hearts in those games are spaced out similarly to The Complete Saga. However, when you turn on 16:9 widescreen (Lego Star Wars II only, the first game didn't have a 16:9 widescreen option), the hearts gets spaced out further from each other. The spacing out issue was fixed in The Complete Saga, so that they're spaced out the exact same way as if you were playing on 4:3.
