LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Release Day
By Elaine Tveit
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens releases today! We take a look at some of the highlights of the game.
Rey, Kylo Ren, Finn, and the rest of the sequel trilogy gang are headed to the LEGO video game universe at last in LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
We’ve been getting updates about the game for several weeks now, including videos focusing on the characters of Rey, Kylo, Finn, and BB-8. Now it’s time to rewind and take a look at what you can expect when you purchase and play the game, starting today.
In addition to playing through the events of the film, the game includes adventures supplemental to the story. Characters like Lor San Tekka and the Crimson Corsair get their chance to shine in these extra levels. Check out the list of levels below.
"Rathtar Hunting – Follows Han Solo and Chewbacca’s voyage to capture the ravenous Rathtars.Lor San Tekka’s Return – Uncovers secrets behind Lor San Tekka’s journey to the Jakku Village.Poe to the Rescue – Details Poe Dameron’s daring rescue mission to save Admiral Ackbar.Crimson Corsair– Explores how the notorious Outer Rim pirate, the Crimson Corsair, foiled the plans of the First Order.Trouble Over Taul– Follows the events leading up C-3PO’s acquisition of his new red arm.Ottegan Assault– Reveals a puzzle piece to how the Resistance and the First Order find Lor San Tekka on Jakku.As with all LEGO games, funny interpretations of serious scenes abound, such as Kylo Ren’s Darth Vader-themed bedroom. I don’t know how happy a spin they can put on Han Solo’s death, but then there are some scenes which just shouldn’t be made lighthearted. Another feature to look forward to is the proliferation of both obscure and popular characters from the film. Imagine being able to play as a creature from Maz Kanata’s palace, or a scavenger from Jakku.Next: Is Mark Hamill Serious About Episode VIII As His Last Star Wars Film?Those who downloaded the Niima Outpost demo have already experienced the game, but there’s nothing like exploring the game from start to finish.
