History VideoGame / LegoStarWars

* FreeFallFight: The final section of the level *The Hidden Enemy* has the player fighting Ventress on an Octuptarra droid falling off of a skyscraper endlessly until Ventress is defeated. Despite the clear urgency and severity of the situation, the game actually encourages the player to hang around so they can collect one of the minikits.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: In the final level of ''Episode III'', Obi-Wan and Anakin spend a significant amount of time [[CutsceneBoss fighting in the cutscenes]] instead of [[GameplayAndStorySegregation in the level itself]], but they continue to put their actual fight on hold and form temporary truces in order to keep themselves from getting killed by Mustafar's lava. It isn't until the very end where all bets are off.

* SultryBellyDancer: In the GameCube version of ''The Original Trilogy'' and ''The Complete Saga'', Slave Leia is able to perform a dance as her special 'move'; she adds a flirty touch by winking and blowing you a kiss as she performs.

** In the GBA version of ''The Original Trilogy'', she loses the move, but as a purchasable extra, you're able to have a clone of her dancing in the Cantina hub.

** When Obi-Wan and Yoda look at the Jedi Temple's security footage and discover Anakin's FaceHeelTurn, he's shown killing Shaak Ti. This is taken directly from a DeletedScene in the original film.

* DeathByAdaptation: Cody survives the events of the film, whereas in this game he's killed by Grievous.

** The [[Film/TheForceAwakens Guavian Death Gang]] are only ever called "[[NeverSayDie Gauvian Security Soldiers]]".

* NeverSayDie: A strange version with the Guavian Death Gang. Any spoken mention of them instead uses the name "Guavian Security Soldiers" (the individual {{Mooks}}), but Bala Tik's description still calls him the leader of the "Guavian Death Gang."

* WingsDoNothing: You can play as Watto, the Toydarian junk dealer. His normal mode of travel is flying, but don't try it over a chasm...

* AnachronicOrder: While in ''The Complete Saga'' and ''The Skywalker Saga'' there is the ''option'' of playing the story out of order, the episodic nature of the ''Clone Wars'' cartoon combined with no CallBack-making dialogue means TT Games was free to rearrange episodes based on how thematically they could be connected instead of canon order. For one example, the Grievous path starts on Ep. 7, goes back to Ep. 3, continues to Ep. 4, skips to Ep. 10, comes back to Ep. 5, then skips ''all the way to Season 2 Ep. 9''.

Thus, in 2005, they released ''LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game''. The game (which was released just in time for the release of ''Revenge of the Sith'' in theaters) covered the Prequel Trilogy that consists of ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'', ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''. The game was so successful, played by many children and ''Star Wars'' fans, that a sequel, ''LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy'', was quickly greenlit and released in 2006, which covered the events of ''Film/ANewHope'', ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' and ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', and refined and expanded the gameplay of the first, proving to be an even bigger hit. In 2007, the games were combined into a MegamixGame, known as ''LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga'', which fixed issues from the first two games and sweetened the deal by adding in an abundance of new content as well.

* MayTheFarceBeWithYou: The games are a parody of ''Star Wars''.

* NonIndicativeName: After Disney purchased Lucasfilm and developed the Sequel Trilogy, this can no longer be considered the ''complete'' saga, [[UnCancelled though it was at the time of release]].

** In ''Revenge of the Sith'', Commander Cody accompanies Obi-Wan to fight General Grievous and subsequently dies by his hand, his blaster now being the one Obi-Wan kills Grievous with.

** In ''The Empire Strikes Back'', Yoda (and R2) accompany Luke into the Dark Side cave, meaning player 2 can join in the fight against Vader (even though it's only supposed to be Luke's Force vision).

** During the "Cloud City Trap" level in ''The Empire Strikes Back'', R2-D2 is not locked out of the carbonite chamber when Luke fights Darth Vader.

** Han's Episode VII freighter is carrying the [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk the Ark of the Covenant]] in one of its storage crates.

** One mission on Ajan Kloss has you helping Beaumont and a fellow Resistance member cook second breakfast in secret. After completing the mission, the latter asks you to "[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing Keep it secret, keep it safe]]".

** 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 year of the original game.

* ZeroEffortBoss: Luke Skywalker's sequel appearance is a boss-tier enemy in ''The Last Jedi'' (as a result of Rey finding out he may have created Kylo Ren), but excluding {{Puzzle Boss}}es, he has the lowest HP among all other bosses and is easily crippled by the combo system.

* GameBreakingBug: Due to its ObviousBeta status, the Nintendo DS version of ''LEGO Star Wars II'' is filled to the brim with bugs, some of which can make it impossible to complete certain levels[[note]]Death Star Escape and Jabba's Palace[[/note]] in Free Play.

* ObviousBeta: The Nintendo DS version of ''LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy'', which is full of [[GameBreakingBug Game-Breaking Bugs]] that can render entire levels impossible to complete in Free Play (such as Jabba's Palace), Minikits that are impossible to get (such as in Speeder Bike Chase), and characters that are impossible to unlock without cheat codes even when they should be normally available (such as Slave Leia).

* DuelingPlayerCharacters: Due to requiring two playable characters on the screen at all times, after Obi-Wan and Anakin make their way through the final Episode III level, [[FightingYourFriend they have to fight each other]]. However, [[DoomedByCanon there's only one way it'll turn out.]]

** When starting a new game, you are loaded into the hub world first before heading into the first level. The next two games did this too. Starting with VideoGame/LEGOIndianaJones, you start the first level upon selecting a new game (though in some instances, future games do allow you to quit the level and go to the hub world, or in some rare occasions like in VideoGame/LEGODimensions, start you in the hub).

** Later Lego games that were based on at least two or more movies at a time balanced out the amount of levels they had (I.E. VideoGame/LEGOIndianaJones and VideoGame/LEGOHarryPotter had six levels for each movie and VideoGame/LegoTheHobbit has Eight for it's two movies). This game however, the Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith has Six Levels, Attack of the Clones has Five (Granted there was a level cut from this game that was restored in Complete Saga).
