You don’t have to play the movie missions in order though, so it seems to just be a case of making sure Uncle Owen isn’t on Tatooine when you’re doing a Return of the Jedi mission. Apparently, the exact locations and characters available at any one time will depend on where you currently are in the movie timeline. But although each movie can be selected from the main menu this doesn’t set off the series of linear levels you might expect, but instead it transports you to what is essentially an open… galaxy.Įach planet has multiple open world areas, with Tatooine having three separate zones: Luke’s homestead, Mos Eisley, and Mos Espa (from the prequels). We’re not clear how the ninth movie is going to work in terms of spoilers but we imagine it’ll probably be added in later as DLC, after the film’s release in cinemas. And so it has fallen to Star Wars to rejuvenate the concept. There was a brief pretence that The Lego Movie 2 Videogame would right the ship, but it was even worse – and clearly just a repurposed version of Minecraft wannabe Lego Worlds. Especially as they began to overegg their features list, with overly complex rules and abilities for characters and split-screen co-op that has become increasingly cluttered and frustrating – with 2018’s Lego DC Super-Villains becoming almost unplayable at times. They hit a peak with Lego Dimensions but the unsustainable nature of toys to life saw the concept quickly run out of steam, which meant that going back to the regular releases suddenly seemed very anticlimactic. For over a decade now the Lego movie tie-ins have been almost the only quality, multiformat games suitable for all the family.
