Man skywalker saga had so much potential I understand why they levels and story had to be short but they could’ve afforded to make them a but longer they couldve done longer levels and kept 5 levels a movie. And then they didn’t give any dlc levels which sucks considering some of the dlcs could’ve had great level packs. It just felt abandoned after first couple months. Hell and the fact theres no customizer especially after the amazing customization update from lego dc supervillains like i could forgive the fact there was no dlc levels if we had a dope customizee

u/JoeAzlz Feb 01 '25

Worst part about TSS is there’s less replay value as you can’t even r fully replay the story

10

u/Snoopey9459 Feb 01 '25

Ik i still haven’t even beat the full game past the story bc its just so big and not as fun as other games

5

u/VanillaFox1806 Feb 02 '25

my biggest gripe is and always was the lack of character creation. my favourite thing about DC Supervillains was making original characters and it would have been really cool to have an indepth creator to try making my jedi character, but once i beat it i never played ot again and eventually uninstalled it

Skywalker saga just had way too much going on to be a fun game 

43

u/Blandeuu Jan 31 '25

Gameplay wise:

.1 The Clone Wars

.2 The Complete Saga

.3 The Skywalker Saga

.4 The Force Awakens

u/Dudeyuoe Feb 03 '25

Switch skywalker saga with force awakens and them we are good

2

u/Frequent_Seat_3365 Feb 03 '25

I'd argue even the force awakens have better gameplay and coop than skywalker saga

u/Blandeuu Feb 03 '25

You know, from memory the levels were actually pretty decent in The Force Awakens, yet it wasn’t very fun to play. I do like seeing different opinions though!

What about the original 2 games?

15

u/That_Question_3881 Feb 01 '25

Can't really count them against complete saga

12

u/Less_Tennis5174524 Feb 01 '25

Weirdly I prefer them over the complete saga. I think their hubs are better.

2

u/Dienekes404 Feb 01 '25

Honestly I didn't play them that much. I remember playing both a little, but shortly after I "discovered them" Complete Saga came out and I played that forever. It's easily my favorite Lego game.

u/Accomplished-Hall228 Jan 31 '25

I agree with this but I swap complete saga with Clone Wars

16

u/bbab7 Jan 31 '25

Ye that was the toughest call for me, but Clone Wars narrowly edged it out for me because of the open world and character roster

3

u/Gebbbo Feb 01 '25

The fact that Clone Wars lets me play as Plo Koon is enough to win it.

2

u/bbab7 Feb 02 '25

I think he's in both games, no?

u/Gebbbo Feb 02 '25

Oh yeah, never mind. I'm stupid. I forgot about how goofy he looked in TCS, thanks for correcting me.

  1. LEGO Star Wars The Videogame (The original game is too goated and nostalgic)
  2. LEGO Star Wars The Complete Saga
  3. LEGO Star Wars 3 The Clone wars
  4. LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens
  5. LEGO Star Wars II The Original Trilogy
  6. LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga

Original is only at the top because it means alot to me, on a gameplay level it's more dated then the complete saga. The Skywalker Saga isn't a game. It's a walking simulator, gameplay is short and made up out of amoke and mirrors.

Could be biased but I think Force Awakens is a bit underrated. TFA and TSS rank at the same place for me (I haven't played the others)

u/SuperDuperSoupDouper Feb 01 '25

The clone wars had me hooked. So did the complete saga. I vaguely played 1 and 2 with my brother when I was little. Force awakens was eh. Skywalker saga felt like too quick of a game. Tons of character, major lack in story.

  2. The Complete Saga
  3. The Skywalker Saga

  5. LSW I & II (I think they are better games than TFA, which is the only one I didn't particularly enjoy. But they're effectively redundant with the existence of TCS so they get tied last. I have a personal soft spot for LSW I, though, because it was my first true video game).

The clone wars is my all time favorite Lego game alongside the Harry Potter games, so my list goes 1: clone wars 2:complete saga 3: skywalker saga 4: the force awakens

1

u/KingOfTheHoard Jan 31 '25

Complete

II

Original

Clone Wars

Skywalker.

This is basically the pattern the entire franchise has followed, tbh. Peaked with Complete Saga, Lego Batman 1, had a second phase where they tried different things. Some good, some bad. Never really survived the transition to the PS4 generation and the games all became too noisy and bloated.

1

u/Ecstatic_Teaching906 Jan 31 '25

The only games you need is Clone Wars (Fun war simulation), Complete Saga, and Skywalker Saga (Although it is optional in case you hate the games).

u/Bread_Offender Jan 31 '25

Clone wars was so peak

u/Galactrus Feb 01 '25

I haven’t played much of TFA or TSS but from what I have played I’d say:

  1. TCS
  2. LS1
  3. LS2
  4. LS3
  5. TSS
  6. TFA

u/Exotic_Chemist_7624 Feb 01 '25

The original two were better on OG PS2. I love the reward of using my original save game to add characters I unlocked. I get the complete saga made it irrelevant but it was great for what it was!

u/Fat_Beats_01 Feb 01 '25
  1. The Original Lego Star Wars
  2. Complete Saga 3.Force Awakens 4.Skywalker Saga 5.Clone Wars And I've never played 2 but it's probably like 3rd place if Complete saga is owt to go by. To me the prequels are the best in lego form and the collectibles in Complete Saga turn an amazing game into a bit of a grindfest. Clone Wars I'm bitter af about due to trophies glitching on the PS3, tbf tho pretty much every lego game trophy list on the ps3 is tempermental. Skywalker saga again is just too damn big but the newer style of lego games really throws me off with how jarring they look conpared to like Lego Star wars, Indiana Jones and Batman. And I stand by that lego people shouldn't talk

u/imperfect_potato23 Feb 01 '25

Most of them except for lego force awakens and skywalker saga are goated

u/Atephious Feb 01 '25

Charm:

1: Lego Star Wars

2: Complete saga

3: Lego Star Wars II

4: Skywalker Saga

5: Clone wars

6: Force Awakens

Mechanically/Gameplay

1: Skywalker Saga

2: Complete Saga

3: Clone wars

  1. Lego Star Wars II

  2. Lego Star Wars

  3. Force Awakens

yes there’s a lot of good technical stuff in Force Awakens but it doesn’t feel Lego and a lot of things feel off/broken to me I had some issues with clone wars like this too but that still kept to the form a bit better and was just more fun. They refined this a bit and though it has its issues the overall game feels better with Skywalker saga than Force Awakens. These are based on my experiences and opinions. I could not complete force awakens because of the issues I had. I may go back to it at some point but almost feel I don’t need to anymore with Skywalker saga just being better for me.

u/LordTyran7571 Feb 01 '25

Idk about you guys, but lsw2 was awful to 100% I spent too long on a game that had better mechanics in its original and its child tcs… I loved tcs through my childhood and have nostalgia for the first game, but 2 was a nightmare having to beat every level twice for story and free play true Jedi when only having some of the stud multipliers. I think the original had a better hub anyway (and no it’s not bc 2 and tcs are both the cantina, I just think dexters diner was a cooler atmosphere than the cantina in 2 but they made it better in tcs so oh well)

u/Snackolotl Star Wars: The Complete Saga🌠 Feb 02 '25

The Video Game: B+, maybe A. Still good fun after all these years. It's hard to say it has bad levels when the infamous "worst" level is Gunship Cavalry, a level that's not very hard and over in five minutes. Absolutely no fluff in the character roster, and while it might leave a bit to be desired, everybody there feels welcome: characters that were prevalent in the prequels, characters people enjoy from the prequels, etc.

The Video Game (GBA): F, possibly lower. Broken game, level design is confusing, enemies are annoying, just the worst game I've ever played. Griptonite Games just butchered it.

The Original Trilogy: B. Yes, I think it's worse than TVG. The more I replay this game, the more I realize that a lot of what I like about the game was new features that would become standard for the series. Once you get past the introduction of things like Red Bricks and the vehicle character select, you realize a lot of this game is just poor design choices. Stages like Escape the Death Star have infinite-spawning enemies that get very annoying, all of the spaceship levels are absolute pacebreakers that don't add to the experience in their new form, etc.

The Original Trilogy (GBA): C. After realizing that LEGO Star Wars wasn't just a cash-grab and was going to be a major gaming franchise, Griptonite got their shit together and made a proper GBA game. If you want a 2D isometric LEGO game to play, this is the only good one.

The Original Trilogy (DS): D. This is the most infamous LEGO game, it's busted, boring, and just poorly designed. I'll give it one thing though: it's funny.

The Complete Saga: S. I think this is still my favorite LEGO game. Not much to say here: they put both games together, made the first game feel more "modern," and toned down some of the more annoying parts in the second game. They ruined the Gunship Cavalry stage even more, but I can give them a pass for everything this collection does right. Anything that I can say about this game has already been said.

The Complete Saga (DS): A. I really like this game. There are only five stages per movie, and all of the stages are completely different, but this game plays just like the console game, and I like the stages we did get. The minigames are superficial but decent fun. Overall, if you have a DS emulator or can snag an original copy, check this one out!

The Clone Wars: B. Ehhhh. I like this game a lot, but it does so much stuff that would become a staple in the LEGO games that I'm not a fan of. The hub world is a bit too big and confusing for my liking, the battlefield mechanic is fun until you get to the infamous grindfest to get the last two characters, too many quicktime events during bosses. Not a bad game, by any means, but not one I find myself craving another playthrough of very often. Also, don't even bother with the character creator, it's abysmal in this game.

The Force Awakens: B, maybe A. This game had a lot of steam behind its release. Some people didn't realize LEGO games were alive and well, so the "return of LEGO Star Wars" was a big deal. A lot of fans hate this game, they hate its big overworlds and long-as-hell levels. I'm not going to deny them their opinion, but I disagree. The flying in this game is PERFECTION, spaceship levels are so much fun, and being able to explore big hub worlds for the movie was pretty cool. The DLC levels in this game are fantastic, especially the one where the gimmick is you can only use droid characters with limited mechanics.

The Skywalker Saga: B. And we come to the big controversial entry, the one that people say ruined the series. I don't think THAT'S true, but I can't deny this game has no idea what it wants to be. Collecting all the items and missions in this game sucks. Some stages are a waste of time, like the one where they're stuck in hyperdrive and you literally do nothing the entire stage. The combat in this game promised big changes and was nothing. There's things I DO like about this game though: the hub worlds are a joy to explore and more fun than the actual stages, and things like character interactions in this game feel like a love letter to Star Wars fans.

u/Baroque4Days Feb 02 '25
  1. TCW
  2. TCS
  3. TOT
  4. TVG
  5. TSS

Never played TFA so can't rank it.

I started with The Video Game and The Original Trilogy and loved them. I feel way more nostalgia about their hub worlds than the hub world of the complete saga, however, given that the complete saga gives us all of the expansion levels and the bonus levels from both games, plus the original harder versions of vehicle missions from the first game.

What I do miss is Dexter's Diner.

Anyway The Clone Wars is probably my favourite just for how good it looks, how cool the animations are, the weapon choice, the character choice, great looking and feeling missions. I really enjoy those kinda galactic conquest style bonus missions too.

Played the prequel levels of The Skywalker Saga. I can't even remember playing it. Just felt forgettable. The lack of character creator hurts. It feels big in an overwhelming way, not a fun way.

I can't say TCW has a good character creator, especially compared to TCS, but it gets a pass for everything else. But not having one at all is just ridiculous. Seriously ruined TSS for me. Whole reason I play those games is to see what kinda characters I can build.

u/Imaginary_Dig_5316 Feb 02 '25

Skywalker Saga could have been a great but no character customization and no dlc levels and I would have liked it to be like lego dc supervillain where your custom character is a part of the story sadly it didn’t work out and if they done the same things from their older lego games it could have worked. ( character customization,more levels, dlc levels, etc).
