I don’t know if it was just me, but the controls felt like they changed, and I was never informed. This time, trying to rope the legs of the AT-AT walkers felt hard.
That level hearkened back to the olden days of aimlessly flying around hoping for another shot at your target in a reasonable timeframe. I called out the podracing level in my setup earlier as it was way too similar to The Complete Saga‘s version to make an impact, and I have to call out the Battle of Hoth level too. Palpatine will have redemption to come in this list though so don’t fret. That might not be fair, and I’ve seen tons of people praise this level, but it wasn’t entirely for me. Deflecting his force lightning can only be so exciting for so long. What follows though is the fight with Emperor Palpatine, and it’s… not great. The fight with Vader is awesome with all of its different little phases. The throne room scene is everything which is why Fulfill Your Destiny is a slight letdown.
STARKILLER SHOWDOWN LEGO STAR WARS FORCE AWAKENS BOOK MOVIE
Return of the Jedi is not only my favorite Star Wars movie, but also it’s my favorite movie of all time. It was a level that was still fun, but nothing stood out which leaves it here.įulfill Your Destiny (Episode VI, Level 5)Īnother case of a level not meeting my own expectations. Not to mention there was no chase across Utapau or change in scenery, which felt like a mistake to leave out. The extras in this level are uninspired, making the level feel smaller and more of a drag when it should have felt bigger and more epic. This means I ignored Grievous for a chunk of time to find minikits and collect studs. As I mentioned earlier, I am attempting to 100% complete the game. Other than that, tell me how it stands out. Grievous is the fact that the lightsaber fight mechanics are great, lifting every one of these levels higher than it otherwise would have been. And before we get to my top 10, let’s start with some honorable mentions. Objective quality doesn’t mean subjective enjoyment. With how much time they’ve sunk into LEGO Star Wars for almost two decades, expectations are high. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is TT Games’ magnum opus.
My favorite levels reflect my own experience, play style, and unfortunately, my own expectations. It’s worth reiterating that this is my own list, so when I say I didn’t love the podracing level and you won’t find it on this list, come at me. I narrowed my own down to a general top 10 I combined some levels here and there just to get as many as possible in the mix. So, I thought it would be fun to talk about some of them. This variety means that everyone will have their own favorite levels based on a ton of different factors. You got bored and want to have the hordes of the Empire and First Order bear down on you? Awesome. You want to go full-stealth mode to avoid detection? Sweet. You want to jump over that barrier and combo them into oblivion? Go for it. You want to hide behind a barrier and have a shootout with the baddies? Be my guest. Thankfully, The Skywalker Saga is packed with a ton of wonderful levels that vary wildly and can be played any way you want. They care about one thing, the part of the game that has to be excellent for everyone: the story levels. While the game was designed with the intent for the player to live in the Star Wars galaxy for an indeterminable amount of time, that doesn’t change that the life blood of the game is the casual player. That being said, not everybody is going to play the game like me. Spending time on each world getting all the kyber bricks, following Nobot into his creepy lair, going on a wild goose chase to find a new arm for Ponda Baba, immediately getting sidetracked to steal Darth Vader’s Executor Super Star Destroyer as Darth Vader, experimenting with all the unlockable characters, and so much more I haven’t even found yet has been a treat. I myself am right in the middle of a 100% completion run that I have yet to come to terms with how long it will take. It’s not perfect, but there isn’t an experience like it. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is simply a staggering achievement TT Games should be proud of. The most definitive experience in Star Wars game history to relive the movies we love is here, and it’s glorious.
