#LEGO STAR WARS TCS TOW DEATH STAR FREE#
Something I really started to do on the Xbox version was to create my own characters and use them in Free Play mode. The visuals were so much better on the new console that it had the effect of amplifying everything I loved about it before. You can probably guess where this goes, and of course, I bought the Xbox version of TCS and I continued to love it, probably even more so than I did before. Later yearsįast forward to 2010, when I acquired my very first Xbox console. I must have done this at least 4 or 5 times and I never got bored of playing it. You pretty much had to start a new save or the game would become unplayable. One memory I always have of the DS version of the game was how, whenever you got to the 100-hour mark for playtime, the game would become incredibly glitchy and just generally start to break down. So the fact that I had the ability to change things around and play this way was so brilliant as a 9-year-old who’d never experienced anything like this before. But the point is that I was new to LEGO games at the time and also a huge Star Wars fan. Now, this might seem like a weird thing to put so much praise in as this is something that all Lego games feature. You didn’t have to be restricted by only playing as characters that were present during that period in the canon, you could do whatever you wanted. Going on to blow up the Death Star in a Jedi Fighter or Republic ship was part of the absurd brilliance of it. I really liked how this freedom also extended to the space battles in the game. Going onto the Death Star and fighting Palpatine as Kit Fisto or Qui-Gonn just felt like such a power move and the fact that the game gave you that freedom was so brilliant. As a fan of the entire Star Wars franchise, even the much-hated prequels, this was an absolute gem for me.
#LEGO STAR WARS TCS TOW DEATH STAR SERIES#
Interactive Entertainment.It will be the sixth entry in TT Games Lego Star Wars series of video games and the successor to Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens.The game will adapt all nine entries in the Skywalker saga series of films. One of the things I enjoyed about TCS and all LEGO games in general, is the Free Play mode. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is an upcoming Lego-themed action-adventure game developed by Travellers Tales and published by Warner Bros.
Having what was, at the time, the entire 6-movie saga to play through was absolutely amazing. I was at the peak of my Star Wars fandom, completely obsessed with the series. My first experience with TCS was with the Nintendo DS version, having received it as a Christmas present less than two months after its release in 2007.
In the brick-building scene, the galactic superweapon is known to be a familiar, comforting presence, having spawned three LEGO sets of a different piece count over 11 years.
They both were rewarded by the rest of the Rebels in the aftermath of the destruction of the Death Star.With the release of the next LEGO game, The Skywalker Saga on the horizon, I thought it would be a good time to pay tribute to the last full-spectrum treatment in the series before it gets effectively replaced by the newer version. The Death Star has become a widely recognised element of the Star Wars franchise, with its popularity hardly fizzling out even after decades. Luke Skywalker in his X-wing, who fired the proton torpedoes, and Han Solo in the Millennium Falcon, provided assistance. They exploited the stations only known weakness, an exhaust port, by firing two proton torpedoes in to it, which caused a chain of explosions that destroyed the Death Star. The Rebels attacked and destroyed the space station during the Battle of Yavin, which occurred shortly after the Destruction of Alderaan. The Death Star was used to destroy the planet of Alderaan in 0 BBY. It's primary weapon, the superlaser, could destroy an entire planet with just one shot. The idea of a "Great weapon" belonged to separatists ( Poggle the Lesser and Count Dooku). The Death Star I was a Giant space station that was built by the Empire.
