"People use LEGO Star Wars characters as profile pics" isn't really a meme so much as a general fact.


** Darth Maul, because come on, he's friggin' Darth Maul. His boss stage has an excellent mix of platforming and lightsaber dueling sections that set the pace for the series' later boss fights, all scored to [[AwesomeMusic/StarWars "Duel of the Fates"]].
** The final level of the first game recreates the Mustafar duel from ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' and introduces what many consider the best boss in the series, your friend! After working together the entire game, player 1 and 2 are forced to fight each other in a shrinking arena as John Williams' iconic score swells in the background.

** Phasma, in both ''The Force Awakens'' and ''The Skywalker Saga'', because she has become far more competent than her canon self.

** Captain Phasma, in both ''The Force Awakens'' and ''The Skywalker Saga'', because she has become far more competent than actually puts up one hell of a fight compared to how quickly Chewbacca managed to subdue her canon self.in ''The Force Awakens'' movie proper.



** In ''The Clone Wars'', Jango's death is a lengthy BlackComedy sequence. After Mace Windu decapitates him, the heroes play with his helmet like a hacky sack until it gets to Dooku's balcony, where Boba grabs it and immediately gets it stuck on his head. His death in ''The Skywalker Saga'' where he is trampled by droids, the Reek, and then the clone gunship ''lands on top of him,'' while {{Bowdlerise}}d, is still just as mortifyingly hilarious.

** Likely the reason Darth Maul was included in ''The Clone Wars'', presuming that the developers weren't in on the knowledge [[HilariousInHindsight that later seasons of the show were going to resurrect the character]].

** In general, many characters mix-and-match traits of others, resulting in very strong fighters that render chunks of the roster obsolete. The generally-agreed most powerful characters, besides the Force ghosts, are Droideka, General Grievous and his Bodyguard, and the Fetts (Jango and Boba). Droideka is fast when rolled up, has a very effective double-blast as its main attack that can shred multiple hearts off bosses, and puts up a deflector shield when stationary. Grievous and his Bodyguard are high-jumpers with powerful melee moves, making them good in combat and platforming. Jango and Boba can hover with their jetpacks, get past Bounty Hunter access points, throw thermal detonators, and use their blasters (two pistols for Jango and a huge rifle for Boba), which deal double damage. Because of this, you're bound to use at least one of the above when going through Free Play levels, since they cover a versatile range of skills.

*** Droideka, though not quite as busted as its Complete Saga counterpart, still has its usual kit of a shield, a roll that makes it one of the fastest characters in the game, and [[MoreDakka rapid fire.]] It can trivialize Target Practice challenges simply by holding down the fire button and spraying bullets in the direction of the problem.

* MagnificentBastard: In ''The Skywalker Saga'', [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent Bossk]], a notorious BountyHunter, plans on locating a treasure on Mustafar for himself. When seemingly caught by Aurra Sing and the PlayerCharacter smuggling trampolines to utilize for the treasure, he convinces them that he's planning on giving them to the workers, even hiring the player to smuggle them into Mustafar's atmosphere for him. When caught with the treasure later, he lure the player into an arena to fight them, having put trampolines all around to bounce on and make him harder to hit. Being bested, he gives them the treasure with little fuss, [[VillainRespect even offering his services to them, having been impressed by their "bouncing skills".]]

* MemeticPsychopath: LEGO Yoda is often portrayed as a mentally ill ketamine-addicted maniac who is willing to commit [[CrossesTheLineTwice heinous acts related to racism or general degeneracy]] for the sake of fulling his drug addiction [[ForTheEvulz or simply because he can]]. How this happened is anyone's guess.
