History YMMV / LegoStarWars

* BilingualBonus: Of a sort. ''The Skywalker Saga'' gets a ton of mileage out of the Aurebesh alphabet to hide verbal gags and add flavor in a multitude of locations. Some puzzles using Aurebesh characters can even be solved more quickly if you know the alphabet, like a puzzle in Dagobah asking you to find four stones with characters and note the number of spirits floating next to them so you can place them in the corect order...but if you read the characters provided for each button, you can recognize they're a selection of A, D, O, and Y. The answer then becomes obvious without needing to hunt down the combination--just spell YODA.

* AntiClimaxBoss: Emperor Palpatine in Episode IX of ''The Skywalker Saga'' is nothing more than a quick time event, which is especially jarring considering how several villains who never got proper fights in the films, like Jabba the Hutt and Captain Phasma, got full boss fights in the game. This is likely due to him already getting two boss fights in the main campaign as well as the Knights of Ren and his guards serving as a decent fight already, though it does mean that the final proper boss in the campaign ends up being a BB unit, of all characters.

** J. J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy [[note]]Director of ''The Force Awakens'' (and eventually ''The Rise of Skywalker'') and the President of Lucasfilm[[/note]] being playable characters in ''The Force Awakens''. Some find it funny, while others dislike it due to favoring newer talent and omitting franchise creator George Lucas from the game.

* EvenBetterSequel: The original ''LEGO Star Wars'' was great, but rather limited; for example, only Force wielders could build objects. When ''II'' came along, it got rid of several of those limitations, and additionally let you unlock the characters from the first game to sweeten the pot. ''The Complete Saga'' could count as well, since it revised the original game's levels to take in the newer gameplay elements of the second game. The same can somewhat be said for the following games after those. ''The Skywalker Saga'', meanwhile, is effectively ''The Complete Saga''... plus the graphical enhancements and content of ''The Force Awakens''... ''plus brand new content [[SerialEscalation on top of that]]''.

** The new collectable brick in ''The Skywalker Saga'' is the Khyber Brick, a glowing clear crystal brick, referencing the khyber crystals that are found all across the galaxy and used to make lightsabers, as well as their implied rarity.

** Unlike 2011 onwards prints of ''Return of the Jedi'', Darth Vader doesn't scream any [[BigNo Big "NO!"]]s when Palpatine electrocutes Luke, restoring some gravitas and tension that purists lamented the scene lost by FillingTheSilence.

** ''The Skywalker Saga'' undid some LullDestruction applied to ''Return of the Jedi'' for its HD and 4K releases, by ''not'' having Darth Vader scream any [[BigNo Big "NO!"]]s when Palpatine electrocutes Luke.

* {{Moe}}: Grogu has some rather cute idle animations in ''The Skywalker Saga'', such as napping, gulping at how high his pram can float, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick gleefully swallowing frogs]]. He also marks the chattiest character across both ''Mandalorian'' DLC packs, babbling and giggling through stock audio of babies.

*** The game also included ''Mumble Mode'' for those who prefer the non-voice-acted cutscenes as situated in the original games than voice-acted ones.

*** The scattershot upgrade for Bounty Hunters allows them to deal a ''lot'' of ranged damage, essentially turning every blaster shot into a shotgun blast.

** The standalone game for ''The Force Awakens'' has also been accused of this in trying to squeeze a full-length game out of one movie. One level notoriously consists entirely of walking through the Resistance base and getting supplies for the Millennium Falcon, and the final official level of the game is literally just Rey making her way to the top of the island on Ahch-To to find Luke.

** Jar Jar is also on the receiving end of [[TheChewToy Chew Toy]] levels of {{Slapstick}} in ''The Skywalker Saga''. While this ''does'' fit his comic relief role and the general tone of the game, it's probably not a coincidence.

** In general, many people enjoy this adaptation of the prequel trilogy more than the actual films, thanks to the game skipping over maligned scenes like the political drama and Padmé and Anakin's romance, while at the same time incorporating hilarious gags and interesting gameplay scenarios.

* TakeThatScrappy: ''The Complete Saga'' offers an achievement, "Crowd Pleaser", for killing Jar Jar Binks twenty times.

** Probe droids fighting in the Battle of Hoth will launch their own tow cables to pull the bombs you tow.

* UncannyValley: Well, they're LEGO figures, so they were never meant to look realistic, but in the first two ''Star Wars'' games the characters' eyes were plain black dots that seemed rather... soulless due to the design style LEGO used at the time. The later games fixed this around the same time the official sets did by adding a white dot inside the black dots that could act as a pupil.
** This returns in ''The Skywalker Saga'' with the Classic Characters DLC pack, which has several characters with their original soulless black eyes, and also with LEGO's usual yellow skin, which looks extremely off when every game has had characters with realstic skin tones.

*** The compilation also included ''Mumble Mode'' for those who prefer the non-voice-acted cutscenes as situated in the original games than voice-acted ones.

** One of the most maligned aspects of ''Revenge of the Sith'' was Anakin fatally wounding Padmé with a force choke, which has been seen by many as a KickTheDog moment. This version has him force choke an object next to her, which then struck her accidentally when it broke.

* BetterThanCanon: Many fans find ''The Skywalker Saga''[='=]s adaption of the Sequel Trilogy to have improvements over the source material due to their changes. These include nixing the relationship between Kylo [=Ren/Ben=] Solo and Rey, giving Finn more involvement in the plot, changing it so that Luke never ignites his lightsaber over a sleeping Ben and adding some HoYay between Finn and Poe. Admiral Ackbar also gets one last FandomNod in before his death, often panned [[DroppedABridgeOnHim for how quickly it happens]], by trying to say his memetic "It's a trap!" line again [[KilledMidSentence before being sucked out the window]]. Even the final lines of the trilogy end up getting tweaked, removing the common critique of "Rey who?" being unintentionally hilarious.
