History VideoGame / LegoStarWars

With the ''Star Wars'' saga complete ([[SeriesFauxnale at that point in time]]), TT Games shifted their focus to other IP to adapt, such as ''VideoGame/LEGOIndianaJones'' and ''VideoGame/LEGOHarryPotter''. Nonetheless, they returned to the Galaxy Far, Far Away in 2011 with a new title -- ''LEGO Star Wars III: [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' -- which adapted the first two seasons of the show. While no sequel covering subsequent episodes was made, the Disney purchase happened a year after the game was released, which led to some concerns that this would be it for the series, since Disney agreed to allow Creator/ElectronicArts to exclusively create new ''Star Wars'' games for a multi-year commitment. Thankfully, the new deal did not invalidate the existing agreement with TT Games, and they were then allowed to create ''LEGO Star Wars: Film/TheForceAwakens'', which released in 2016, which bridges the gap between ''Return of the Jedi'' and ''The Force Awakens'' with additional content. No follow-ups were made for the two subsequent episodes in the trilogy, and by E3 2019, it became clear as to why that was: they were thinking bigger. ''Much'' bigger.

** One puzzle on Endor involves putting together a portrait of the Towani family from the ''Film/StarWarsEwokAdventures'' television films.

** Boba and Jango Fett's starship is now called "Boba/Jango Fett's starship" instead of its canonical name, ''Slave I'', or by the name of its model (''Firespray''), as some canon media opted to use. That said, the term "slave" is still used elsewhere, such as Padme referring to Anakin and Shmi as such under Watto's ownership.

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Oddly enough, the {{Trope Namer}}s are as competent as anyone else, but during the opening cutscene of Episode III's ''Invisible Hand'' level, Anakin and Obi-Wan are looking through a holographic chat log between Grievous and a battle droid to locate Chancellor Palpatine, while battle droids keep firing at them and missing, despite the Jedi standing completely still. They don't even react to the shots hitting around them.

* KickTheDog: An unaware variation. As Anakin and Obi-Wan rush to the Wizard’s Tower to save Palpatine, one of the battle droids taunts “Nice robes Jedi, did your mommy buy them for you?”. At this point, Shmi is dead. If the droid addresses this to Obi-Wan, the effect is less severe, as Obi-Wan has not known, let alone seen his own mother since he was an infant.

** Although ''Film/RogueOne'' content is not in the base game, parts of that movie’s ending are integrated into the opening mission of ''A New Hope''. Vader makes his entrance in a way similar to the infamous hallway massacre sequence, while the final exchange between Raymus Antilles and Leia is added in word-for-word moments before he arrives. Similarly, a line of dialogue from Lando ("we made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs with that ship!") off-handedly references ''Solo''.

** The Flametrooper mini-boss you fight while capturing the Executor is named TT-2005 - a double nod to the full name of the developer (Traveller's Tales) and the release of the original game.

** When confronting Rey and Ben Solo on Exegol, Palpatine expresses a dislike for the name "Rey" and mentions that he wanted her to be named "Kira" -- which was one of Rey's names in George Lucas’ original outlines for the Sequel Trilogy, and one that Daisy Ridley actually filmed some scenes using before they opted to stick to "Rey".

* NonindicativeName: The ''Mandalorian'' Season 2 and ''Book of Boba Fett'' DLC packs don't include the title characters, but do include some characters whom those shows reused from other media.

* NonindicativeName: The ''Book of Boba Fett'' DLC pack doesn't contain a new variant of Boba Fett[[note]]paralleling his absence from the fifth episode of the show[[/note]]. Instead, it consists of characters that the ''Book'' borrowed from other Expanded Universe media for 2-5 episodes.

* NonindicativeName: The ''Book of Boba Fett'' DLC pack doesn't contain a new variant of Boba Fett[[note]]paralleling his absence from the fifth episode of the show[[/note]]. Instead, it consists of Expanded Universe characters who appeared for 2-5 chapters of the ''Book'', but couldn't fit in any of the other DLC packs.

* AnachronicOrder: The player can invoke this trope like with ''The Complete Saga'', but with some caveats: you can start from the beginning of whatever trilogy you want instead of having to start with ''The Phantom Menace'', but simply finishing a level doesn't immediately unlock all the Episodes at once- each trilogy ''has'' to be played in proper order. You are still allowed to halt your progress mid-Episode and hop to one of the other Trilogies whenever you want, though.

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: The scene where Obi-Wan claims to Luke that Vader betrayed and murdered his father is omitted, as [[ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject Obi-Wan avoids the subject]] when it is brought up, yet when Vader is about to make his LukeIAmYourFather revelation, Luke stills says that Obi-Wan told him Vader killed his father.

** A number of AscendedExtra characters become a lot more powerful because of this, from Jedi such as Yarael Poof and Jocasta Nu, to more unlikely characters such as SmugSnake Mas Amedda, who gleefully clobbers enemies with his staff.
* AdaptationExpansion: Thanks in part to the open world elements, the story campaigns of ''The Skywalker Saga'' cover several events that were AdaptedOut of the other titles, meaning that scenes and characters that were ignored in the games covering the first seven episodic installments (including the Gungan Sub chase in ''The Phantom Menace'', Obi-Wan and Jango Fett's dogfight over Geonosis in ''Attack of the Clones'', and Yoda and Palpatine’s duel in ''Revenge of the Sith'') are now explored and featured here, and the remaining two that are being adapted for the first time are given the same amount of embellishment. Likewise, characters like Darth Maul and Palpatine, who were [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere Giant Space Fleas From Nowhere]] in the original games, are given much more screentime and development here. The game itself also often expands upon existing stories, such as giving Finn a larger role in the campaign for ''The Rise of Skywalker''.

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: The scene where Obi-Wan claims to Luke that Vader betrayed and murdered his father is omitted, as Obi-Wan avoids the subject when it is brought up, yet when Vader is about to make his LukeIAmYourFather revelation, Luke stills says that Obi-Wan told him Vader killed his father.

** Copies of ''Lego Star Wars: The Video Game'', ''Lego Star Wars: The Original Trilogy'', and ''Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens'' can be found in levels from their respective trilogies.

* MythologyGag: Some random Jedi in the "Jedi Battle" level have yellow skin. Long story short, minifigs in licensed sets like ''Star Wars'' used to have yellow skin just like normal minifigs, but around 2004-2005 they were replaced with realistic skintones.

** Although ''Rogue One'' content is not in the base game, parts of that movie’s ending are integrated into the opening mission of ''A New Hope''. Vader makes his entrance in a way similar to the infamous hallway massacre sequence, while the final exchange between Raymus Antilles and Leia is added in word-for-word moments before he arrives. Similarly, a line of dialogue from Lando ("we made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs with that ship!") off-handedly references ''Solo''.
** A portrait of the Towani family from the ''Ewoks'' television films is seen.

** A Kyber Brick puzzle on Dagobah involving {{Vine Swing}}ing is called "[[Music/BadLipReading Swing From A Hairy Vine]]."

** The two Sith Acolytes involved in a rivalry are named [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Ash-Ke and Gar-Ee.]]

A long time ago (1999 to be exact), in a galaxy (not so) far far away, there was a toy company called LEGO, and ''Franchise/StarWars'' was the first licensed theme that they got the rights to make. These were wildly successful, and alongside ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}'', helped the company become more influential than anyone could have possibly imagined. Eventually, a company known as Creator/TravellersTales decided to make a tie-in game based on these toys.

** Qui-Gon's fight with Darth Maul on Tatooine, Mace Windu and Kit Fisto's attempted arrest of Palpatine, and Obi-Wan's duel with Darth Vader on the Death Star are merely cutscenes.

* EasterEgg: Combined with DevelopersForesight. There are multiple missions in the open world that first require a protocol droid to translate for an alien citizen to learn what kind of quest they want you to do. Since this is the first voice-acted game in the series and there are multiple protocol droid characters in the game, each one had to have scripted dialogue for the translations because any could have been used. The nature of the dialogue is different for each droid and mission[[note]][=O-MR1=] is a lot snarkier than C-3P0 or PZ-4CO, for example[[/note]] though, and it is impossible to replay the quests on the same file, so each of the droids' scripts you didn't see can become an Easter egg to find on another playthrough.

** ''R-3P0'': Against protocol

* CantUseStairs: While already present for protocol droids like [=C3PO=], this trope really comes into play for the DLC "The Phantom Limb", as the entire team is composed of regular droid types that can't jump in any way, meaning a large portion of the level involves creating paths for the crew to cross.

* DwindlingParty: Thanks to all the others being DoomedByCanon, the robot crew accompanying [=C3PO=] in "The Phantom Limb" DLC get taken out over the course of the level, until just him and [=O-MR1=] are left, only for [=O-MR1=] to perform a HeroicSacrifice by walking through acid rain to call for Resistance help, both rendering Threepio the SoleSurvivor and leaving his rusted red arm behind as a TragicKeepsake replacement for the one Threepio lost.

* SparedByTheAdaptation

** Boba and Jango Fett's starship is now called "Boba/Jango Fett's starship" instead of its canonical name, ''Slave I'', or by the name of its model (''Firespray''), as some canon media opted to use.

** ''The Skywalker Saga'' has costumes from ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOStarWarsHolidaySpecial'' for Darth Vader, C-3PO, Chewbacca (actually Itchy), Poe, D-0, and the GNK Droid. These outfits are exclusively unlocked via a cheat code password. While a handful of characters being optionally unlockable this way is traditional, these costumes must be unlocked this way, unlike other code unlocks in the same game; they do not appear in the character menu unless unlocked, nor do they count towards the final count of 380 characters. Additionally, the Resistance Shuttle and the Razorcrest are password-exclusive ships. Unlike the Holiday Special outfits, these are listed before being unlocked, and counted for 100% completion. Their in-game rumors explicitly state that they must be unlocked through this method.
* SequelEscalation: The first ''LEGO Star Wars'' game had many different characters, but suffered from many characters being unable to build and a crippling lack of variety. The sequel added the ability to build without the Force, and riding vehicles and mounts. The third game added entire galaxies to explore, with even more characters. The upcoming ''The Skywalker Saga'' is set to be the biggest LEGO game ''ever''.

* MadeOfIron: Taun-We, Lama-Su, Dexter Jettster and the Gonk Droid. They're immune to blasters, lightsabers, thermal detonators, and many other forms of damage when controlled by an AI. They are not, however, immune to being pushed off the edge in a level. Using a Force Choke or Force Lightning then throwing them will kill the former three, however, while two Red Bricks (Super Astromech and Super Zapper) are needed to kill the latter.

** Seasee Tiin and Agen Kolar are absent during Windu's attempt to arrest Palpatine in ''Revenge of the Sith'', with only him and Kit Fisto present in the game.

** Lama-Su decides that the best replacement for Jango Fett is woolamanders, monkey-like creatures. Somehow cloning an army of monkeys and giving them access to rifles and flamethrowers goes... well, it goes [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters pretty much how you'd expect]].
