[@QuickBrickGames]

Whoops!

[@ThatDinoDude]

Besides the vehicle levels, this is an insanely impressive follow-up to the original. I don’t think anyone was even considering a full character creator at just the second game TT made. The levels are much longer, which I can admit I do slightly prefer the bite-sized levels of the first game, but overall this game gives WAY more content. The 1,000,000 studs level is probably the best they have ever made and the Use Old Save extra is so cool! Really a shame they couldn’t get it to work on 360. Great video, keep up the good work! ❤

[@QuickBrickGames]

Thank you, Dino! This game is quite impressive!

[@levilivengood4522]

kind of insane to me building wasn't in the original

[@QuickBrickGames]

True, but you could sorta build things through using the force at times.

[@ComiccollectorGamer]

Well Only Force users could build thing's in the original so it was cool Leia Captain Antilles sorry if I spelled that wrong Rebel Friend Episode IV Luke Han and other character's were able to build instead of just force users like Qui Gon Obi Wan Anakin Mace Windu Yoda Darth Maul Count Dooku

[@TheRecklessGamerINC]

I remember coming home from school and my grandma had this game waiting for me, I was 5 or 6 and had just gotten into Star Wars so my mind was blown. I put countless hours into playing this game but I never 100% it. Despite that though I still loved this game bought all the characters, there was just one bounty mission I could never beat. I love this game and the first one so much! Looking forward to TCS retrospective, good work👍🏾

[@QuickBrickGames]

I love hearing stories like this! Thanks for watching, RecklessGamer!

[@ComiccollectorGamer]

It's a shame LEGO Star Wars the video Game and LEGO Star Wars II the original are often overshadowed by LEGO Star Wars the complete saga not people these Day's Remember the original Game's unless you Grew up in the early 2000s like I Did

[@QuickBrickGames]

Yeah, I try to highlight the original 2 games as much as possible on this channel!

[@egezort]

You're living in the far future ;O

[@ComiccollectorGamer]

@@egezort I meant 2000s I Didn't have my Contacts in at the time I wrote that

[@egezort]

@@ComiccollectorGamer hehe but it is fun to fantasise about a time traveller from the 20000's who comments on a Lego Star Wars video

[@ComiccollectorGamer]

@@egezort I've been playing the first two original LEGO Star Wars Game's Recently I love the Bounty Hunter Mission's of LEGO Star Wars II the original trilogy the last time Bounty Hunter Mission's appeared in LEGO Game's was LEGO Star Wars III the clone wars

[@pedroaugustomoura8968]

17:45 I'm glad i wasn't the only one. Eu também demorei a entender que tinha que botar o C-3PO no veículo.

[@QuickBrickGames]

Yep!

[@BustedGiant]

As much as I enjoy the Lego City level in this game, I agree that it’s very frustrating to have to destroy every single thing in the level, and I like that in future Lego games, they make it so in levels like this, there are 1,000,000+ studs to find, so there are multiple ways to finish those levels without getting stumped on what you missed. Also, the Use Old Save extra not only works on characters from the first game, but you can even play as the minikit builds from the previous game in minikit vehicle levels, which I thought was awesome! One other thing is there are cheat codes to unlock extra disguises for the characters, and can allow you to make a custom Santa character to play as! Great video, and I’m looking forward to more of these! :)

[@QuickBrickGames]

I had no idea Use Old Save gives you the minikit vehicles too. Mind blown! lol. Thanks for sharing, Busted Giant!

[@BustedGiant]

I know this comment is a bit late, but I finally decided to watch this! There's a few things about this game that I find to be really fun that weren't exactly mentioned in this video, but no worries! 1. In the "Through the Jundland Wastes" level, the moisture vaporators that cause the tanks to fill up with water and the quicksand or mud pits to dry up are only able to be activated by C-3PO, which references the scene in A New Hope where 3PO mentions to Uncle Owen that he can speak the language of the moisture vaporators called Bocce! 2. Some characters in the game can pull the levers, but cannot wear disguises, such as Princess Leia in her Bespin outfit. If you pull the lever as these characters, they'll move outta the way of the dispenser! 3. Something else that's frustrating about the Death Star Escape level is that when you're trying to get to Stormtrooper panels with the Stormtrooper disguise, you'll quickly lose the disguise if you get shot once, which is very easy to do in that level. I agree that that section is very frustrating. 4. The "Use Old Save" Extra is not limited to prequel characters, but you can also use Minikits that you've built in the first game in the Minikit Bonus levels! 5. There was actually a cutscene in the "Jabba's Palace" level that was supposed to happen when you first find Luke in the level, but it was taken out for some reason. You can actually view this in "Story Clips". It's the first Jabba's Palace midtro cutscene. 6. I love how the image of the Death Star II in the "Into the Death Star" level is literally a PNG of the original Death Star Lego set that was released around the same time as this game. Sadly, the PNG isn't present in The Complete Saga. 7. Super random, but the "Extra Toggle" extra actually gives you the Clone character from the prequel game if you play in free play in "The Battle of Endor" with the extra turned on. 8. Building all the minikits in this game unlocks the Slave I ship that Boba Fett owns. I remember as a kid I wondered what that extra slot in the vehicle roster was, and I was super excited when I finally unlocked it. This was a great video, and I'm super excited to go check out the Complete Saga retrospective!

[@QuickBrickGames]

Thanks for watching! Those are some really cool facts. I didn't know about a lot of that. Thanks for sharing, BustedGiant!

[@xbox360fan42]

this was my childhood favorite!

[@QuickBrickGames]

Good to hear! I love it too.

[@legogamemuseum]

This was just as amazing as I thought it would be, highly detailed and tinged with nostalgia (makes me want to jump straight back into the game again). You should definitely be proud of this series, it's shaping up to be the definitive history of TT's LEGO games (as long as you remember to cover Bionicle Heroes 😉), excellent work buddy!

[@QuickBrickGames]

Wow! Thanks for the kind words. I literally just ordered Bionicle Heroes because of your comment! lol. Gonna check it out. Thanks again!

[@legogamemuseum]

@@QuickBrickGames That's awesome, the game is as different to the mainline games as LEGO Rock Band (more of a 3rd person shooter), but it's still a very important game in TT's history. Plus it has gold and silver canister collectables which are similar to minikits, it's another game with a lack of good guides on KZbin. Hope you have fun with it!

[@imafreakinninja12]

I truly prefer the first one. They made this game so tedious. And the worst hit were the vehicle sections and those stupid bombs.

[@QuickBrickGames]

Yeah, vehicle levels are a bit annoying for sure!

[@tenoribarelyknowher868]

absolutely love the 2 retrospective videos you've done and cant wait for you to hopefully put out ones for lego indy,batman,and the complete saga

[@QuickBrickGames]

I don't think this will be the last one.

[@AskTorin]

I got stuck on that hoth level too

[@QuickBrickGames]

This was the first Xbox original game I played in widescreen since not many games on that console supported widescreen

[@QuickBrickGames]

That's a cool fun fact!

Thanks, David! We'll see about more.

[@master_miller]

10:31 I remember that fight taking me much longer than that to beat lol. Didn't know you could just do that.

[@QuickBrickGames]

Yeah I kinda cheesed it. lol

[@allanbirk3171]

in super story, you only have to reach one of the goals. for example, you Can run out of time, but still get the percantage up, and that’s beacuse you Got 10000 studs.

[@none2362]

A very obscure curiosity about this game, is that it is the first lego with DLC Pack from Tt Games.

[@marionbaggins]

Kind Off, mostly for the X-Box players because they paid real money.

[@none2362]

@@marionbaggins true

[@marionbaggins]

@@none2362 P.s Love Your Profile, as a Hobbit myself...I love Your LOTR Theme!!!

[@none2362]

@@marionbaggins But, I believe, there's a secret for you to get the DLC Pack for free without paying on Xbox, I just don't know if it's the same on other platforms? The way is, if you have the saved save of Lego Star Wars The Video Game, you can play with the prequel characters on Xbox, only you have to have Xbox Classic connected with Xbox 360, Xbox One or Xbox Series S /X. Remembering, I'm not saying, I just think it's possible, ok.

[@none2362]

@@marionbaggins I put this profile pic, because I thought it was unfair in a video that everyone was using a photo of each lego game, I just didn't see any comments with a photo of Lego LOTR, or Lego Hobbit, so I put this photo, just to see if it increases the influence of these games, to see if anyone could use these underrated profile pictures.

[@Fries101Reviews]

Yo do you have any Videos on the Bounty Hunter Missions in LEGO StarWars The Complete Saga I can't find any guides for them

[@QuickBrickGames]

I do not. It's on my list to do eventually. Stay tuned!

[@thomasdawicki141]

I remember having fond memories of the DS version. The glitches were fun and being able to control your characters while a cutscene plays is pretty funny

[@QuickBrickGames]

I never played too much of the DS version. I'd like to though!

[@theIJPmexican]

forgot to mention that yes, I got stuck on that part too 12:12

[@QuickBrickGames]

Haha yep!

[@theIJPmexican]

nice video

[@QuickBrickGames]

Thank you, sir!

[@lukeroberts3464]

I had problem with the section too as shown on 12:00-12:10.

[@masterofenergy027]

for the super stories in this game and TCS I always try to get at least 20,000 studs in every level up until level 5, once i reach the 100,000 stud goal i just speed through the rest of the super story since i reached the stud goal and have no need to grind since you don't lose your studs when you die in the super stories.

[@QuickBrickGames]

I'm not sure if getting 100k studs is even required for 100%. I've heard conflicting things. I always do it just in case. lol

[@masterofenergy027]

@@QuickBrickGames either way, that's what I do in the super stories specifically for Episode VI.

[@dapper_1313]

The character icon for yoda is so cursed in this game 😂

What do you mean? lol

[@Sebulba2000]

Great retrospective! Looking forward to The Complete Saga or other LEGO games :) This one is odd for me, I have nostalgia for it, but I don't really like how long and somewhat tedious some levels can be :/ I don't like how stupidly expensive the extras are or how it requires you to fill the True Jedi meter again in Free Play. I don't like Superstory as well and would say they kind of overbloated this game. Yeah, that's a lot of things I dislike and yet, I wouldn't call it a bad game, it's still really fun, but sometimes I just can't bear it, lol

[@QuickBrickGames]

Yeah there's definitely some frustrating stuff in this one. The True Jedi thing is probably the worst imo. lol. Thanks for the nice comment!

[@marionbaggins]

Will these retrospectives be in a Playlist?

[@QuickBrickGames]

Eventually!

[@marionbaggins]

@@QuickBrickGames Great!

[@DaltonLunday2103]

This is honestly my favorite Lego game ever made. I do not like the prequels at all and this game is better than the complete saga because it doesnt have the prequels in it. I also grew up with this game on the PS2 back in 2008, it is the earliest game memory I have. I recently 100% this game on PS2 and I love it. It might not be the best lego game but itll always have a special place in my heart.

[@QuickBrickGames]

Awesome. Glad you love it!

[@chloeryanvtuber]

Really great game overall, but that episode 5 vehicle levels are always a low point, really annoying levels I even like Gunship Cavalry better. Not even gonna mention the complete saga version of gunship cavalry lol

[@QuickBrickGames]

Haha. Yeah vehicle levels aren't the best in these older games!

[@matthewmcsweeney5996]

You used the original Xbox version just for showing the “Use old save” extra since it’s not in the Xbox 360 version.

[@QuickBrickGames]

Correct

Me and the Bros *My Brothers* the first actual Console *we had the Lego Island Games* Lego Game we got, or was it Lego Indy 1 and we played it soo much!!! We had this before Lego Star Wars 1, which is crazy to remember and think about now!!! (Correction: Future Marion Baggins Here, Hello. Lego Indy was our First, This was our Second. My Bro Confirmed it to Me.) Our first games we had, Harrison Ford was a major Character. Then get got Lego Batman and Lego Star Wars 1 came after!

[@QuickBrickGames]

Correct!

[@lukeroberts3464]

🤯

[@matthewmcsweeney5996]

I found this game to be easier to 100% complete than The Complete Saga, due to the lack of the Challenge Mode. Without the Use Old Save extra, Leia is the only female character in this game and the only one that you can actually use in the hub.

[@QuickBrickGames]

Oh interesting! Didn't realize that. Thanks man!

[@robotm99]

so much worse than the original

[@Sebulba2000]

Yeah, the levels are sometimes so long they become tedious and the game has many annoying gimmicks. Definately worse

[@QuickBrickGames]

How so?
