Why Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Has a Serious Jetpack Problem

Lego Star Wars: TSS is overall a fun experience, but it has some growing pains. I noticed this most prominently with the lack of a beefed-up jetpack to compensate for the larger hub worlds. In this video, I argue that the two primary reasons why the Lego Star Wars world has yet to demonstrate effective jetpack technology are a) the Lego world has limited material availability, and b) the Lego and non-Lego worlds share the same relevant laws of physics. A pragmatic and scientifically-sound solution is also proposed.

Q&A:
Q: Where’s the minimum studs/buttons/whatever video for The Skywalker Saga?
A: It’s being slowly worked on. I’m kind of waiting for more interesting glitches to be found, though there definitely are a few already. Don’t expect anything anytime soon.
Q: Why does this video exist?
A: Did you not watch it in its entirety?
Q: Did you actually interview a NASA scientist?
A: For legal reasons, I cannot answer in the affirmative.
Q: Is the scientific information in this video accurate?
A: I hope it is, but it is all meant for a rudimentary level of understanding, so the nuance is completely ignored. I will add any corrections here if I got something totally wrong.
Q: What about mods that buff jetpacks in Lego Star Wars: TSS?
A: These are noncanonical and so provide no insight into the world of the game. But I’m sure PC players appreciate the option.
Q: Do you know how to use a microphone? What’s with all the clipping?
A: I set the gain a bit too high, OK. Won’t happen again, gosh. (Seriously though, that was a big oopsie; I really didn’t feel like re-recording though.)

I see one issue with this otherwise perfectly logical and scientific approach. The character you used the most, the first order jet trooper, similar to many other characters, has a functioning rocket propelled weapon capable of accelerating mass further and faster than the jetpack they also wield. This leads me to believe that in fact the jetpack design itself is flawed in some manner. Therefore we should be lobbying to return to the old jetpack model reminiscent of a scuba diver's oxygen tank

I believe that the Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga clearly fails at Jetpacks canonically in terms of story consistency.

But the puzzles are made with flying characters in mind. Marvel and DC have too many flying characters for this not to be true, but Lego Star Wars doesn't have nearly as many. I am disappointed they didn't upgrade speed and height, but at the end of the day there aren't enough characters, and remember the devs had to remove the character creator, which is a staple of lego games. Now if they make another clone wars game on the other hand..... Rex with jetpack, clone jetpack troops of several units, death watch, mauldalorians, nite owls, cad bane's rocket boots, TODO (cad's droid), R2 (upgraded boosters in D-Squad), B2 Rocket droid, B2 super rocket droid, B1 pod hunters, etc., so they can't not change it.

I wish they would bring back all of the classic character abilities, things like what you talked about, jetpacks and astromechs being able to fly properly, but also things like the Jedi and Sith being able to double jump and the rest doing a dive instead, short characters being able to use hatches (now it's protocol droids who do it) bounty hunters having thermal detonators, gungans doing a super jump, etc. i think the character abilities are the least best part of the game (I use least best because the characters aren't all that bad imo, but it was the only thing I noticed that was a bit of a downgrade from the originals.)

I remember when I first tried out the jetpacks in this game and was greatly disappointed with how short the duration is, but honestly after playing with them for a few hours and getting to know how they worked I adapted and now they're unironically one of the most useful things for me in regards to open world exploration. I've found that when you fully upgrade your running speed, all the momentum that you gather while running carries over when you're flying with the jetpack. So if there's a far jump that isn't too ridiculous, I'll get a good running start first then tap the jetpack in mid air a few times until I reach said platform. Too far away however then you'll need to full send it but with the momentum gathered from running I've been able to clear surprisingly large gaps. As for vertical height, I find that if you want to clear a high fence or wall for example then you really have to get as much height as possible out of your initial double jump before fully boosting with the jetpack and you can actually get some good height out of it. The only thing that really sucks for me personally is that they didn't have The Mandalorian a jetpack even though he's barely ever seen without his after season 1.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but if you tap the jump button after an initial jump instead of holding it, and then hold the button after, you can effectively use the jetpack to give yourself a triple jump that also lets you move in a straight line after for a short period. I was messing around with this and found it to be extremely useful for navigating the free roam, especially when trying to boost myself *up*. I like to think about it like how yoshi can flutter in several 2d mario games; that's what the jetpacks feel like with a double jump. I actually am not disappointed at all with how jetpacks work after this revelation; they're unparalleled in vertical movement and are great for an extra boost in horizontal movement across agap. TLDR: You can triple jump with jetpacks by tapping the jump button twice and then holding it and it's actually pretty useful.

There was a Kyber Brick on Cloud City "Dark Cloud" where you had to jump up on ledges, and a series of moving platforms then you walk along the wall and had to go around the pillars to reach the Kyber Brick. While Double Jumping can work if you time it right. Instead of doing that I used a Boba Fett to get across each pillar to reach the Kyber Brick . There were very few reasons to use any jetpack Lego Character. Infact its sad how an EWOK with a glider is 10x better than the Jetpack on a Bounty Hunter.

[@goblon17]

I have to disagree with your take on jetpacks. I've completed The Skywalker Saga with my main free roam character being Jango Fett. I chose him because of course it's freaking Jango Fett, but also because he has jetpack + GRAPPLE. You don't realize how op this is. This combo allowed me to just skip most of the parkours that usually needs an acrobatic character to complete. Also the jetpack isn't as usless as you make it out to be. You definitelly can go higher than normal double jump but i must say the steering when you don't want to go in one direction is horrible. Nevertheless, I collected most of the 'suspended mid air' kyber bricks by just climbing a nearby rock or breakable crate and just flied up to it. But shame on TT for not giving my boy R2D2 the abillity to fly. tl;dr Jetpack + Grapple is op, R2D2 with no jetpack is *yoda death sound* Also great video, can't wait for the least studs run.

the quality of this video is really good and its very engaging. i would compare it to a game theory video and im very impressed. most videos on youtube are garbage now but its clear youve put a lot of effort into your work

[@roman_wallcrawler8226]

“All six mainline films plus the three fan made spin-offs” You’ve earnt a sub just for that my man 😂

[@Protosilver97]

I don't understand why in Lego Star Wars people can barely fly while in the superhero Lego games you can fly around for undefined time and with great space.

[@R3D_Lantern]

That was the best part of the superhero games.

[@mattguy1773]

I didn’t expect you would be a math expert but I am happy you are

[@TrueCore361]

the part right at the beginning when u called the sequals some fan spin offs was hilarious

[@adante2503]

I tried to use a jet pack character to skip the part where you have to cross a gap by closing the hangar door and using it as a bridge in The Episode V mission, where you have to use the satellites to find Luke, but it literally has an invisible wall stopping me from jet packing across when I could clearly make it.

[@muhammadebrahimshaik6156]

The Jetpack for the FO jet trooper and Sith Jet Trooper have a Bug where there's no Flame Visuals when flying in My game , How do I fix it

[@legowhite2]

Funnily enough, the restriction on jet pack flight made me more aware on when to use it and how to abuse it now

[@barragethree5047]

Jesus, man! It's midnight, I just spent three hours playing No Man's Sky, and when "Supermoon" kicked in at 9:32 I straight up thought I was having auditory hallucinations! Never seen this channel before, but 10/10 vid. Informative, well structured argument for game design, as well as a humorous take on it

[@CHEESEPUFF_7]

As someone who has always gotten attached to the jet pack characters I'm so thankful I'm not the only one who feels kinda empty at the jet packs

[@PearlBladeBeats]

Idk how we got on the Lego density tangent but I love it

[@Gabriel_I_Huszar]

I’ve used the jet pack for a ton of collectibles, you just have to master it, you can jump, then second jump, then hover to get a pretty substantial vertical jump, much higher than double jumping, came in handy for a lot of collectibles

[@grapey5163]

This guy called the sequels fanmade spinoffs he has earned my respect for that roast

[@stroyde]

Great Video!

[@kellenvanberkum3119]

Can’t wait for is it possible to beat LEGO Star Wars Skywalker saga without touching studs and how many press buttons are needed.

[@krazyivan9733]

Fun fact, in the original lego Star Wars game (the original release which only included the prequel trilogy) Jango Fett had infinite jetpack fuel, and could move while flying for as long as the player wanted. Unfortunately, a good amount of long gaps over pitfalls were specially coded to cause the Jetpack to fall despite the thrusters still being active. This was most likely to ensure that players did not explore out of bounds or skip puzzles. The difference becomes more interesting in this game when you compare Jangos jetpack to Astromech hovering, which is based entirely on hover duration, rather than specially placed trigger zones that cause the Jetpack to fall.

[@pkkevin11]

I have the exact opposite experience with jetpack, using it often to open up more skyrim horse climbing options to get a kyber brick without having to do those annoying force block "puzzles"

[@andrewaftontheandroidhedge2780]

there also good for getting more time on locking onto to grapple points if you use a sith to lift them up

[@Halo916_]

“3 recent fan-made spin-offs” I love this line

[@vaniatrinta7764]

I hope modders can add the hover to the droids and upgrade the jetpacks

[@funkymonkey7913]

This is a phenomenal video. I’m blown away.

[@shinyrayquaza9]

I thought they were worse until I found out with good timing you can get a THIRD JUMP (b tap b then hold b) letting you get more height or crossing areas the same length as old pack. I do wish the hover stayed considering you can fire in the air I do miss astro hover tho

[@cadeptt]

You can use them to get vertical height, by tapping it 2 times then holding you get around 1.5x the jump height of any other character

[@CJ-ln5ov]

I…I’m speechless. I came here to watch a critique of a video game that was missing a vital asset and it turned into an advanced science lesson. I am unexpectedly pleased.

[@accomplishedbelt7hollowsno21]

I definitely do agree that the Jetpacks are just not the same, being slow and no hover, which is super unfortunate. I did find one thing with them that allowed me to get to certain kyber and paths that others should, however. If you double jump then use the Jetpack, since it pushes the character up, it'll technically act like a third jump and make all of the jetpack characters jump higher than any other character, giving it some extra, unintentional use lol. Prime example of using this is the kyber in the railings above the Hoth base. You're SUPPOSED to use the scavenger to glide to it, but I didn't have that yet, but the using the jetpack the way I did allowed me to get it instead

[@starswag3218]

How about this: Everythings size gets increased, except for the escape-pod. The escape-pod gets strapped to the back and becomes the new jetpack/backpack

[@Samuelisakson]

While us players do complain about stuff like this we should still consider all the effort that was put into the game. Remember how it was delayed many times than it was almost cancelled. Its true that the devs overlooked MANY things in this game. But if you pay attention, there's alot of detail in areas that are actually pretty impressive. Maybe the game was rushed idk. But at least we have it. And it is undeniably a great game despite the depressing amount of glitches and shortcomings.

[@ashtonwilaby]

it's funny how this video is meant to be about Lego Star wars jet packs, but it's just about the science of Lego games

[@SharpZStudios_gamedev]

I’m not sure if it’s just a filter or something but on mustafar some bricks (in particular rifles) seem to show some signs of wear or melting.

[@chloemarlowe3817]

For real though, the reason the jet packs are gutted in this game is because of the character class system. Personally, I am a defender of the character classes in the game because previous Lego games had the flaw of many characters being borderline useless because there are characters with more abilities than everyone else and some characters with almost no abilities worth using. The character class system in LSS makes sure that each character is equally useful, at the cost of less abilities overall. Back to the point, because they're putting characters like BB-8 into the same character class as R2D2, basic Stormtroopers in the same class as the flametroopers and Boba Fett and Bossk in the same class. It's either give BB8 and Bossk the ability to fly somehow or nerf/remove R2/Boba's ability to fly. Or, third option, make a new class for characters who can fly, but that'd come with its own set of issues like adding more Kyber Bricks for that skill tree, and even then, Scavenger's basically have it covered anyway. Basically, while the jetpacks have been nerfed in this game, considering that the game was never built with it in mind, the fact that some characters even float is good enough.

[@cosmo9925]

I actually used Jango Fett for most of my time in free play because the jet pack is the best jump in the game. If you’re smart about it, you can definitely clear jumps that you normally can’t with any other character, since it’s the highest jump in the game. On top of that, I used it to get extra height or fly across gaps to reach grapple points early, there were times I’d be able to skip half a of a jumping puzzle just by cheesing grapple points with the extra jet pack height. If you can get a sprinting start you can get more momentum behind the jump and it’s basically the farthest jump in the game too (minus the glider). The jet pack seems like it sucks at first, but if you’re smart about it, it’s honestly pretty easy to cheese a lot of puzzles and can be used to get to places easier.

[@Crisko8899]

Anyone else stuck on the ig-88 mission? I’m stuck and the save brings me right back to the same spot stupid glitch and I don’t want to restart my game and lose everything have to start from scratch hell no!! Haven’t turned it on in a week don’t know if a patch came out or anything. Anyone know anything??

[@corneliusmcmuffin3256]

What makes it worse is you can basically get anywhere in the game with two players, two force users, and two boxes. And the boxes are optional. Yet they still felt the need to nerf jet packs into the ground.

[@starwarsnow]

Are you gonna be making a video where you try to best TSS without touching any studs I loved your original complete saga videos
