History YMMV / LegoStarWars

* BaseBreakingCharacter: JJ Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy[[note]]President of Lucasfilm and brand manager for ''Star Wars''[[/note]] as playable characters in ''The Force Awakens''. Some find it funny while others dislike it due to Abrams' already polarizing status as a director and Kennedy being unfamiliar to more casual fans. This only increased when it turned out series creator George Lucas has no appearance of any sort, as it made some people view it as favoritism to the newer talent, although Lucas's involvement in the series is polarizing as is.

* HarsherInHindsight: Ashoka Tano and Bariss Offee chatting it up in ''The Clone Wars'', considering what happened between them later in the installment the game is based on.

** Speeder Showdown has sevral segements where you chase down a set amount of stormtroopers on speeders, and it's very fun. The level culminates with an awesome fight against a giant AT-AT.

** Almost all of the Ground Battles in Star Wars 3 are very memorable for how much they change up the gameplay, and the dogfight levels even add in on-land sections to add more depth.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Likely the reason Darth Maul was included in ''LEGO Star Wars 3''.

* HarsherInHindsight: Ashoka Tano and Bariss Offee chatting it up in ''Lego Star Wars III'', considering what happened between them later in the series.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Having Leia break down crying after Alderaan is destroyed? A TearJerker. Tarkin immediately pointing and laughing at her like a schoolyard bully? Hilarious.

** "Death Star Escape" in Lego Star Wars II has one incredibly frustrating sequence where you must build a huge object in order to continue. Enemies infinite respond continuously here, and unlike future Lego Adaptation games the player character is not invulnerable to damage while building constructs - if you take any damage at all, you immediately have to start over and build the construct from scratch. That means you have to carefully build only few pieces, stop, take out the respawning enemies, and repeat, and if you're just a fraction of a second too slow to stop building, all your work is going out the window. After this happens just a few times, don't be surprised if much swearing and hair-pulling follows.

* BestBossEver: Palpatine, due to a change made to the movies to match with how the games play: Vader pulls his HeelFaceTurn early, leading to Luke and Vader vs. Palpatine. Helps that he's something of a FinalExamBoss.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: After Captain Phasma's disappointing lack of screentime in Film/TheForceAwakens, she gets a memorable boss fight in the main storyline of the game, as well as a playable role in two of the Adventure Levels.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: ''Lego Star Wars 1'' was a suprisingly good licenced game but ''Lego Star Wars 2: The Original Trilogy'' added a lot of improvments like Melee attacks for all characters, allowing non-force users to build and adding Gold Bricks for bonus content.

* TierInducedScrappy: Plenty of characters. Some are just regular {{Joke Character}}s, but others are required for portions of the game, and blatantly inferior to others. Yoda (extremely slow on the ground), Chewbacca (unwieldy melee attack, big target), and Jar-Jar (no abilities aside from triple-jumping, is Jar-Jar) are particularly bad, since all of their abilities are rendered redundant by any Jedi/shooter/jumper character.

* PolishedPort: ''[[CompilationRerelease The Complete Saga]]'' not only brings the first two games together and brings them in HD, but also adds content to both games, including some things that were meant to be in the original versions, but had to be cut out due to time constraints.

** Remember that nice little bonus level in the original Lego Star Wars where you got to play as Darth Vader slicing his way through crowds of LEGO rebels? Well, Film/RogueOne brings that to life in horrifying detail more than a decade later.

* GrowingTheBeard: ''The Force Awakens'' includes voice acting, where most of the original actors from movies reprise their respective roles.
