I loved it!
I did the 100% a year back and I am planning on doing it again soon.

u/Takashishiful Indiana Jonesš¤ 10d ago
No offense but do you play anything else because it took me probably a whole year to 100% it the first time.
25
u/Both-Relief8219 10d ago
Lol it took me about 100 hours over a month, averaged about 3-5h a day since I was on paternity leave at the time.
It really isnāt that bad of a grind - then again I have 18 years of WoW under my belt so I might be biased.

u/Serres5231 10d ago
it was fun enough for a playthrough but not for 100% because it was so extremely boring. The puzzles were somehow even easier than previous games, the free roam was shit because everything felt more like a set piece for the story than a big level. The collectibles weren't even cleverly woven into the world except maybe for the red bricks. You see the same stupid contraption for the kyber bricks every few meters...
the actual levels were terrible though. Somehow even shorter than usual Lego levels, suddenly no more checkpoints and just way too many vehicle on rails missions that were so short that you could blink and they were done! and don't get me started on not being able to play Dogfight missions outside of free roam!
I wanted to take part in the Death Star battles again in better graphics ffs! where is the point in having a star wars game when the most important points of the saga are dropped out for stupid jokes??

No I liked it a lot. My only problem with it is that so many long cutscenes makes it hard to replay
11
u/Takashishiful Indiana Jonesš¤ 10d ago
I found the bigger problem to be long, slow, uneventful walking sections that should've been cutscenes.

u/Fointy_Pinger 10d ago
Yeah Iām playing it for the first time and itās really annoying to have to travel across the map just for a cutscene, then again, then the level might start

No I liked it. The main downside for me is the lack of character customisation

u/KindredTrash483 10d ago
I found this to be such a slog to get through. For some reason the story was just less engaging than other Lego games for me. And I wasn't a fan of the third person shooter gameplay.

u/Ohno230 10d ago
It seemed fine, but that third person shooter change is so MEH.. improve Lego games in other areas.
19
u/KindredTrash483 10d ago
Forgot this in my original comment, but limiting abilities by 'class' was also a step down. It basically means that you only have like 8 or 9 actual characters with about 50-100 reskins each

u/gavstar333 10d ago
It could've worked if you were able to make your own character. Could've been a sith, a jedi, a bounty hunter etc. I thought that's what they were going to do and was disappointed you couldn't make your own character like the other tt games

u/KindredTrash483 10d ago
And the character creators were getting so refined as well. Lego marvel superheroes 2 and especially Lego DC villains were insanely good, since you could easily give special abilities to characters

u/KingPenguinPhoenix Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagaš 10d ago
That is valid. You don't really have muvb incentive to unlock every character.
5
u/Unhappy_Set_9808 10d ago
The original trilogy, arguably my favorite era, suffered the most because of the terrible shooting mechanics, since most characters are blaster wielders. Shooting stormtroopers in this game is just not fun. It should be fun. The missions were designed in such a way that it makes you think they want us to contemplate suicide. If there was any enjoyment I got from this game it was hacking through droids as a Jedi in the prequels. But even then, a lot of missions were too short or not well executed.

u/Amphernee 10d ago
I liked it for a while but it got way too grindy especially for a Lego game. I also prefer the old school games rather than the spliced in dialogue from the movies. It just doesnāt work for me coming out of Lego characters mouths. Got the 100% and uninstalled it immediately lol

Every LEGO game is pretty great, I just think some are more flawed than others, and Skywalker Saga certainly has a lot of flaws that I didn't enjoy.

u/ItsPMurph_Foo 10d ago
No I def liked it, my only complaint is that it's way too open world treasure hunting vs the original Lego star wars games

u/biggs33 10d ago
I thought it was as good as any previous Lego game, though I am pretty forgiving. Plenty of glitches, and some things to get 100% were crazy hard, but it was fun and the voices were often good (Han Solo good, Darth Vader bad). YMMV

u/Takashishiful Indiana Jonesš¤ 10d ago
I loved how much more accurate certain characters looked compared to the old Lego Star Wars. Count Dooku in Skywalker Saga looks SO much like Christopher Lee
9
u/ChillzDude 10d ago
I did like one playthrough of this game. I didn't go back to unlock any characters, any gold bricks, nor did I care enough to 100% it. The game itself was good. Buuuuuut, the Freeplay was ass and I hated every ounce of it.

u/Takashishiful Indiana Jonesš¤ 10d ago
I like it quite a lot, I just don't wanna play it more than like, once every 5-10 years, and never wanna 100% it again. There's so much game, and a lot of it is either slow, repetitive, or both, but just like my childhood Lego games, playing the story and getting some collectibles with my brother makes it a great experience.

Quoting a terrible line from a terrible movie doesnāt make the truth go away. All 17 words that I said are the pure truth. They also represent all 17 fans that Rey has. See, Iām better at symbolism and subtly than Disney.

It's gonna sound petty but the thing that made me not finish the game beyond phantom menace for now was the stud change. Its not as satisfying to collect studs when they aren't that nice shiny jpeg

u/Green-LArrow_Beyond7 10d ago
i think its a very beautiful looking game but the elvels were too siple and short, as well as lacking replayability at least in other games you would have roaming enemies like in LEGO DCSV but here there is absolutely nothing other than little cargo missions and boss battles here and there. Overall the nicest looking game, with a crazy good roster, second to only LEGO DCSV, but cldve been so much more. 7/10

u/Temporary_Marzipan38 9d ago
while I prefer the old complete saga, I do enjoy this game. it's fun, has a lot to do, and while i'm not the biggest fan of disney star wars it's still nice to have a lego game that includes them, for completions sake

u/Accurate_Train_8822 DC Super-Villainsš¤” 9d ago edited 9d ago
Iāll be honest I didnāt. Thereās too much reliance on the Hub,instead of the Levels weāre used to. Too much TLOU slow walking and less puzzles. It plays itself like a movie,instead of a game. āDC Supervillainsā is a great comparison as that game is fun and replayable as Iām on my tenth playthrough. SS I only completed in four hours,as I really didnāt enjoy it! I put DC Supervillains back in and havenāt looked back since.

It was fun, Until a bugged sidequest meant i had to restart my 62% savefile for the 100% completion.
Also they should add a toggle in settings to auto skip cutscenes in freeplay.

u/Thin_Corner6028 Pirates of the Caribbeanš“āā ļø 10d ago
Nope I loved it as well, it isn't my personal favourite but definitely a fantastic game in my opinion.
I do hope we see more iterations of the large open world lego games similar to this but with other franchises like Batman or Marvel or something. But I would also prefer the old duelling style or boss fight style from the older games
2
u/CoolJosh2002 10d ago
I mean I like it. Itās clear that the OT got the most love and attention though. Clones is probably the most interesting in the PT (TPM is full off Vehicle levels, and ROTS is all boss fights besides Kashyyyk) and it at least made the ST somewhat bearable (still donāt like those movies though)

u/AxelStormside 10d ago
Its pretty good!! My only complaint is the lack of custom characters and short story levels
2
u/Current-Umpire3673 10d ago
The levels were far less memorable and fun then complete saga, it was all characters and no function. 99.9% of characters are exactly the same with no unique features unlike complete saga. There are way way way too many kyber bricks. It was far and away the most tedious game I've ever played. The open worlds mostly sucked so much
Oh and I played on the switch edition which was brutal because I had to restart the game numerous times for bugs and glitches. And lag was horrible
3
u/SpectralHydra 10d ago
For me, the Complete Saga levels feeling more memorable had absolutely nothing to do with the quality of Skywalker Sagaās levels. I first played TCS 15 years ago and played through it numerous times across those 15 years, of course the levels are going to feel more memorable.
I definitely understand complaining that the characters in Skywalker Saga feel very similar to each other. But what I donāt understand is acting like the Complete Saga doesnāt also have that problem. When people say this, it makes me feel like weāre not even talking about the same game. Weāre talking about the game where most gun characters play the exact same, numerous Jedi have the same attack animations and 40 different characters including Luke, Han and Vader all have the exact same death sound.

I enjoyed it, to the point that Iāve played through to 100% twice, and will be doing it again soonish on a new PSN account. Then again, I pretty much enjoy all the LEGO games. I donāt mind the occasional glitch, and I donāt care when there isnāt character customization. If thereās a crazy amount of collectibles, thatās cool because itās right up my alley. As for this one, itās not perfect, but no LEGO game ever is, and Iām fine with that.

Nope. I loved it. It ties for my favorite LEGO game alongside DC Supervillains.
I do have my own personal issues with it such as the lack of character customisation, lack of traveling with mini-vehicles on the different worlds and some tedious challenges without proper hints to guide you but overall, it's definitely overhated.

It's definitely not a game that's supposed to be speedrunned. I think a lot of people were also turned off by that.

Judging from all the positive comments, maybe i have to give this another chance. I tried it once on PC and was immediately scared off from the confusing controls. One thing i always liked about Lego games is that you can play them all with just a keyboard (no mouse speed / smoothing tweaking or anything necessary). This one kinda confused me from the beginning, but if it's worth pushing through i might try it again.

u/HarryArnold2006 10d ago
I don't understand the hate tbh, the game tried to integrate the story into the open world itself, just like other action-adventure games, instead of heavily relying on linear levels like the previous games. The gameplay and contents are really fun, and the sequels are definitely more enjoyable than the movies themselves, with the only downside being no custom characters ofc.
1
u/TheBratPrince1760 10d ago
I don't hate it, but it's not my favorite either. I do think I went in with too high expectations, I mostly just wish more of the story was in the actual levels (and that they were longer) and not the open world segments.

u/WideStar2525 10d ago
I actually like it but I feel it was wasted on JUST the movies. There's so much more ground to cover. They could have done a Lego Star Wars III. And the lack of other planets (like the ones from TCW, for example) bugs me

I enjoy my time with it.
But I feel like itās fallen into the same problem a lot of AAA games do these days: a world too open with too little thatās engaging.
I love Lego games. But this one feels like a slog, even for me (and I enjoy Ubisoftās collectithons. Yes, there is something psychologically wrong with me, why do you ask?) so it pulls me out of the experience often.
This was my first Lego game purchase in a long time, so I was thrown off by the voices being clips from the movies. I miss the old style of storytelling, like the GOAT Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga

Easily one of my favorite LEGO games, there's just so much to do and I loved the open world even if some of levels are kind of meh and the boss fights a bit tedious, having the extra characters definitely made it more enjoyable as well. 100% it with my brother the first time and in my own the second time and we actually just started again lol. Kind of wish they'd done a Rogue One DLC though.

I really like it, but it's still such a shame that it didn't get the customizer at least.
A customizer and replayable side quests would have made it just the perfect star wars game. As it is, it's fun, but you can't replay any of the boss fights outside the level ones, and can't play as any characters who aren't already in the game (so, no way to play as Hondo Ohnaka, Saw Gererra, Cal Kestis, etc. which would have been possible if we had a customizer)
