LEGO Star Wars II : The Original Trilogy LEGO Star Wars II : The Original Trilogy is a video game based on the " Star Wars " themed toyline by the LEGO Group and the sequel to the video game " " . It covers the events of the Original Star Wars Trilogy . The game was released on September 11 , 2006 in Europe ( although some shops , such as GAME , were selling copies as early as the 8th ) and September 12 , 2006 in the United States . This was the same day that the unaltered theatrical editions of the original trilogy were released on DVD . It was developed by Traveller ' s Tales and Amaze Entertainment and was simultaneously released for the PC , Xbox , Nintendo GameCube , PlayStation 2 , Game Boy Advance , Nintendo DS , PlayStation Portable and Xbox 360 . The game was published by LucasArts / TT Games in the US and by Activision in Europe . The Mac OS X version was published by Feral Interactive on 4 May 2007 . The game is rated E10 + for Ages 10 and up by the ESRB for Cartoon Violence and Crude Humor , and 3 + by the PEGI . The hub for this game was Mos Eisley Cantina . Gameplay . Almost everything in the game is made out of LEGO bricks . Like its predecessor , this game presents a humorous view of the Star Wars universe , and re - tells some of the original trilogy ' s most famous moments through cut - scenes that feature no dialogue whatsoever . The ability to " create " new LEGO Star Wars characters is a new feature in the game , allowing the player to mix multiple character parts , which also automatically creates a name for the new character ( such as a Master Leia , C , Boba Skywalker or Darth 3PO ) , or allows the player to name the creation ( excluding the Nintendo DS version ) . Using a saved game from the previous LEGO Star Wars games allows the player to transfer the prequel characters into the Original Trilogy , although prequel characters cannot be customized , save for a few select pieces . The difficulty adjusts to suit the player . This " adaptive difficulty " function is a feature that has been implemented by Traveller ' s Tales as a response to the relative ease in which gamers completed the first game . This feature can be manually turned on or off in the extras menu . Characters . Playable characters are from the Original Trilogy of the Star Wars saga ( Episodes , , and ) , including Han Solo , Luke Skywalker , Ben Kenobi , Yoda , Chewbacca , Boba Fett , Princess Leia , C - 3PO , R2 - D2 , Darth Vader , and Emperor Palpatine . If a player has a saved game from " " , then 46 of the characters from the last game will be available , excluding those unlocked in the bonus level ( Darth Vader , Princess Leia , Stormtrooper , and Rebel Trooper ) and C - 3PO , R2 - D2 , Yoda , Chewbacca , Darth Sidious , and Gonk Droid , as they are characters that also appear in the Original Trilogy time frame , and must be unlocked conventionally . However , this ability must be purchased first . When a player unlocks a character from the standard game , they also unlock its LEGO Bricks which can be used to make custom characters . According to LucasArts , this adds up to 1 , 000 , 000 character combinations . During " E3 " " 2006 " , it was confirmed that 50 characters can be unlocked by playing through Story mode . The rest have to be purchased using stud s , the game ' s currency . All of these characters can be used to create a custom character , which is made up of a combination of nine pieces ( hat , head , body , cape , arms , hands , weapon , hip and legs ) . Some characters have a limited amount of pieces usable in Customization Mode , such as those with an irregular head ( such as Yoda or Greedo ) . In those cases , the character cannot wear a hat or helmet . All Characters . " Note : All playable characters except Droids and several Extra - Toggle characters can punch enemies , build with LEGO Objects , pull Levers and dive . All characters with Blasters can dodge enemies ' Blaster Shots . All Droids can pass through gases . " " Also there are many temporary conditions of characters ( like Luke Skywalker without hand ) , but they didn ' t get into this list . " Custom characters . The last two characters in the character selection screen are custom characters that can be assembled in the Mos Eisley Cantina . Although there is a large amount of pieces available for customizing a character , not every character ' s body , arms , weapon , head , or hat is usable ; for example , there is no Darth Vader body or head — only his helmet ; also , there are no axes , spears , dual blasters , double - bladed lightsaber s , or blaster carbines , and players can ' t be unarmed . The cape option doesn ' t encompass backpacks , and as such , there are no rocket packs . A character ' s head or hat and what they have in their hand dictates their powers , with a few exceptions — using the Emperor ' s head will not give the character the ability of Force Lightning , for example . The Nintendo DS version of the game is the only version to deviate from these rules , featuring nearly all of every single character ' s pieces . Every weapon used by every character appearing is usable , including several completely original weapons such as a black and rainbow lightsaber . Jet packs , short legs , and other functional extras not included in the console versions also appear . There are weapons you can only get with cheat codes , like a ninja sword or a white lightsaber . " Extra Toggle " . Extra Toggle simply means when one plays a level in Free Play mode , characters unobtainable by other means are playable ( such as a Womp Rat and Han Solo in Carbonite ) . However Old Save characters , Extra Toggle characters , custom characters and vehicles are not available for playability in the cantina . " Use Old Save " . The " Use Old Save " feature is an unlockable extra which enables the player to import all of the characters from " LEGO Star Wars : The Video Game " ( with the exception of Chewbacca , the GNK Power Droid , the Stormtrooper , Darth Vader , Princess Leia , the Rebel Trooper , R2 - D2 , C - 3PO , Emperor Palpatine and Yoda , since they appear in both games ) and use them in free play . In order to use this feature , the " LEGO Star Wars " save game must be present on the same memory drive used for " LEGO Star Wars II " . If using PC versions of the games , " LEGO Star Wars " must be installed in its default location , or else its save game folder must be copied into " LEGO Star Wars II " ' s save game folder for it to be found . The many characters exclusive to " LEGO Star Wars : The Video Game " are added to the character select screen ; however , due to changed abilities in the second game , some characters are changed with several - such as Jar Jar Binks - being rendered useless . This feature is not included on the Xbox 360 version , as Lego Star Wars : The Video Game hasn ' t been released on that console besides backwards - compatibility . Vehicles . Players can jump into vehicles and move about the levels with them . Unlike the original game , in which vehicles were on rails , vehicles are able to move freely wherever the player wants . This is considered by many to be the best improvement in the game . The player ' s health hearts are replaced with metallic hearts , representing the health of the vehicle . If the vehicle ' s health is depleted when not in a vehicle - only stage , the character driving it will lose studs and be ejected ; however , no matter how much damage a vehicle sustains , it will survive . Once a mini - kit set is completed , the player can drive that vehicle and use it in the " Minikit Bonus " level unlocked after finishing an episode ' s story . Starships can collect Proton torpedoes , and Snowspeeder s can be able to tow bombs to help the player complete the level . For example , the " Millennium Falcon " might shoot an asteroid and uncover a proton torpedo . If a large asteroid - large enough that the " Millennium Falcon " cannot destroy it with blasters - appears , the proton torpedo may be used to destroy it . In addition , some ships can carry more torpedoes than others , the usual limit being three , but the limit for the Y - wing and TIE Bomber being five . After a player collects all 180 minikit canisters ( found in the game ) , they are granted Boba Fett ' s Slave I to use in free play . Levels . Just like in the first game where levels were accessed by entering doors in Dexter ' s Diner , levels in this game are accessed in the Mos Eisley Cantina . A large number of Star Wars locations are present , including Hoth , Bespin , Tatooine and the forest moon of Endor . Episode IV Levels . Secret Plans .

Episode bonus levels . After completing all chapters in an episode and collecting a certain number of gold bricks ( 8 for " A New Hope " , 16 for " The Empire Strikes Back " , 32 for " Return of the Jedi " ) , a secret entrance can be constructed in each episode ' s room ( denoted by a question mark symbol ) which contains three bonus levels . Bounty hunter mode . Once all bounty hunter characters in the game ( 4 - LOM , IG - 88 , Dengar , Bossk , Greedo and Boba Fett ) have been unlocked , a special bounty hunter mode , consisting of ten levels , becomes available . A gold brick is obtained for completing each level . During bounty hunter mode , the player is given three minutes to find the bounty in the level he / she is playing in . The name of the level dictates the bounty . The bounty hunters 4 - LOM and IG - 88 can open R2 - D2 and C - 3PO doors , while all Bounty Hunters can open Bounty Hunter doors . Studs are earned via the time remaining once the level is completed , with more time remaining equaling more studs .

By achieving certain objectives throughout levels ( completing the levels , collecting enough studs to fill the Jedi meter , finishing the mini - kits , as well as a few hidden objectives ) , the player earns gold bricks . Once 60 gold bricks have been collected and the player has completed story play in all three episodes , the player can enter LEGO City . This is a playground level set in a LEGO City ( based on the LEGO Town series ) where the objective is to collect all one million studs in the level . Once all 99 gold bricks have been collected , a stud fountain outside the cantina is unlocked ; this spits out numerous silver , gold and blue studs every four seconds . The maximum score attainable is 4 , 000 , 000 , 000 - once this total has been reached the stud counter stops incrementing . On December 22 2006 , two cheat codes were announced that allowed the player to create Santa as a playable character . For Comic Relief ' s Red Nose Day 2007 another special code was released , giving each character a red nose . Differences in specific platforms . Game Boy Advance . For the Game Boy Advance , the game is altered for portable compatibility , such as lower quality 2d sprites as opposed to the 3D models used in any other version . This version has 36 playable characters , which is half the number of characters in the console versions , although it does feature characters not available in console versions such as a Baby Rancor , R2 - Q5 and K - 3PO . Also , Vader is unlocked at an earlier time , the Scout Trooper and mouse droid are now playable without using the extra toggle mode , the generic Ewok is gone , and Wicket ' s slingshot is replaced with a spear . There are not any power bricks to find , but there are still extras to buy , some of which are more enjoyable than their 128 - bit console counterparts ; for example , the Jedi Spirit extra turns characters into Force ghosts , which can only otherwise be used with the three unlockable force spirit characters in the console versions . There are five levels in Episodes IV and V , and six levels in Episode VI . A character in each level is unlocked when all ten minikits are collected . The Dagobah level is absent in the Game Boy Advance version , Mos Eisley Spaceport & Through the Jundland Wastes are formed as one level ( Tatooine ) , and the placeability of the console versions ' levels " Jedi Destiny " ( Emperor Fight ) and " Into The Death Star " ( Death Star 2 Battle ) is inverted . Levels . Episode IV Episode V Episode VI Nintendo DS . For the Nintendo DS version , like the Game Boy Advance version , the game was altered for portability reasons , such as having lower quality graphics . The DS version has 50 characters , though they don ' t exactly match the ones from the console games . In addition to co - operative multiplayer , the DS version allows up to four people to battle wirelessly , where they can choose to fight over Han Solo ( Carbonite ) in Jabba ' s Palace or battle in a Tatooine - themed arena . Character swapping is performed by touching icons on the touch screen . Though generally praised for its gameplay , the original release of the DS version was criticized for its bugs and graphic glitches . Many Internet sites accused it of being rushed to shelves with the other versions of the game and the reissued Star Wars IV - VI DVDs . One website was supposedly contacted by anonymous employees of the developer which claimed that the US , European , and Japanese versions were different from each other regarding the bugs , and that a new fixed version would be shipped to shelves after the first print run was sold out . One of the most notable glitches is in Episode VI , where many have considered the Rancor entirely unbeatable . This has not been verified by either the publisher or developer . Characters such as Salacious Crumb , the members of the Bith band and Wuther the bartender ( Who can hover like an astromech droid for some reason ) are available only in this version . Some levels are changed . Just like the GBA version , Dagobah is absent and the levels " Mos Eisley Spaceport " and " Through the Jundland Wastes " are formed as one level , while other levels are renamed back to their console counterparts , such as " Into the Death Star " and " Jedi Destiny " . PlayStation Portable . The PlayStation Portable version of " LEGO Star Wars II : The Original Trilogy " contains exclusive material including the final levels from Episodes I , II and III of the first " LEGO Star Wars " game and a challenge mode for each level in LSW II which returns in LSW : The Complete Saga . In this mode , the player goes through each level to find all 10 blue minikits in a time limit . If completed , the player will achieve a character from the original " LEGO Star Wars " game . Like the DS version , it contains a Wireless Lobby . The cantina ' s area is made a ghost town featuring only the player and one other character , to make sure the game runs lag - free . The bounty hunter missions are excluded from the game and the prequel episodes ' levels are put in it ' s place . Gold bricks cannot be bought from the cantina , and there are much longer loading times . Defaul ~ 1 . cab . There have been problems on numerous PC games that , when trying to install , an error message appears claiming that the Defaul ~ 1 . cab file is corrupt . This can be fixed by moving the disk ' s contents onto the hard drive , renaming the Defaul ~ 1 . cab to x . x , trying to install , when it says it can ' t find Defaul ~ 1 . cab , go back and rename the file to Defaul ~ 1 . cab . Then click retry . Reception . The game sold more than 1 . 1 million copies worldwide in its opening week . Variety ' s Ben Fritz called it " adorable " , and said that it was " no wonder it sold more than a million copies in its first week on shelves " . It was part of Gaming Target ' s " 52 Games We ' ll Still Be Playing From 2006 " selection , and was placed tenth in GameSpy ' s " Game of the Year " PC top ten . On December 22 , 2006 , StarWars . com declared " LEGO Star Wars II : The Original Trilogy " the best Star Wars related thing of 2006 . IGN . com reviewer Jeremy Dunham said " it ' s a heck of a lot of fun and has a great amount of replay value beyond a single play - through . Best family game this year ? Probably so .
