Story & Themes
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga combines the story and gameplay of both Lego Star Wars: The Video Game and its sequel Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. Together, The Complete Saga spans the overarching storyline of all six Star Wars episodes, following young Anakin Skywalker's transformation from Jedi Knight to Darth Vader, then picking up the story of his son, Luke Skywalker. The game stays true to the original story of the films, but simplifies certain aspects in order to shorten the length and appeal to younger kids. Because some material is left out or glossed over, it's best to have some familiarity with the films before playing the game.
