Anakin "Sky Guy" Skywalker Ahsoka "Snips" Tano Artoo "Artooey" Detoo Current Results Episode IV: Your Favorite Moments, LEGO Style! Posted By Dustin on May 24, 2006 LucasArts’ release of LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy this fall on multiple platforms* continues the original’s tongue-in-cheek approach to our favorite galaxy far, far away, also adding new gameplay features such as in-depth character customization plus vehicles and creatures to ride through on-foot levels. But it’s perhaps the Original Trilogy setting itself that has many fans most intrigued. Equally excited are the people actually creating the game, both at developer Traveller’s Tales (a division of TT Games) and LucasArts. At this point in development, most of the levels based on Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope are nearing completion. With that in mind, which cherished moments from the movie that started the entire Star Wars phenomenon have the team most enjoyed giving the LEGO treatment? “I love seeing the fantastic variety of aliens that populate the Mos Eisley Cantina come to life in LEGO form,” says Jonathan Smith, director at TT Games. “Our character modeller has done an amazing job on all the individual headpieces, and each one makes me smile – both as a Star Wars fan and a LEGO fan. The Bith band members are particular favorites – and great to mix into the Character Customizer!” “I think my favorite moment from Episode IV is the trench run,” says David Perkinson, producer at LucasArts. “Getting into the cockpit of the X-wing, battling TIE fighters and ultimately destroying the Death Star is something that every Star Wars fan will love. Plus, the cinematic leading up to the introduction to the Death Star level is incredible!” “Yeah, I also get a thrill every time I see the X-wings of Red Squadron wheel into their assault on the Death Star,” adds Smith. “Those LEGO models are so cool, and as the music strikes up it remains an awesome moment in the story.” “I’ve really enjoyed working on the opening scene of Episode IV, set on the Rebel Blockade Runner, Tantive IV,” comments James Cunliffe, lead artist at TT Games. “It's great in Story mode, with fantastic cutscenes depicting the ship’s capture by a Star Destroyer, as Leia is trying to escape with the plans for the Death Star.” “That’s my favorite part, too,” chimes in Jeffrey Gullett, assistant producer at LucasArts. “It’s the first scene of all the Star Wars movies, and is still one of my favorites. I’ll never forget that first time I saw the stormtroopers blast through that door – I think that we’ve done an amazing job of capturing the feeling of that moment, while also adding the fun and humor of LEGO.” “It’s got a lot of the features which are new to LEGO Star Wars II, as well,” says Cunliffe. “And in Free Play, there's even more to do. You can even ‘grow’ a LEGO tree, then blow it up. What could be better than that?” Only one thing, according to John Hodskinson, TT Games’ lead programmer for the game. With all of the great moments in Episode IV, it’s easy to forget what’s at the core of what makes the movie so special – the characters. Hodskinson says it’s important to realize this, and the team is working especially hard to keep in line with this spirit. “From Han’s cocky swagger to Vader’s menacing appearance, the personalities of all the main characters have been brilliantly brought to life by the animators throughout the game,” he says. “All but the hardest of hearts will find their scenes together both funny and nostalgic.” NEXT STORY: “Cruisin’ the Galaxy” *May the Force build with you with versions developed by Traveller’s Tales on PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Sony PSP™, Xbox 360™ and Xbox® video game system from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCube™ and Windows, as well as handheld versions developed by Amaze Entertainment for Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo Game Boy® Advance. email this story discuss in forums Select Date 2008, November 2008, October 2008, September 2008, August 2008, July 2008, June 2008, May 2008, April 2008, March 2008, February 2008, January 2007, December 2007, November 2007, October 2007, September 2007, August 2007, July 2007, June 2007, May 2007, April 2007, March 2007, February 2007, January 2006, December 2006, November 2006, October 2006, September 2006, August 2006, July 2006, June 2006, May 2006, April 2006, March 2006, February 2006, January 2005, December 2005, November 2005, October 2005, September 2005, August 2005, July 2005, June 2005, May 2005, April 2005, March 2005, February 2005, January 2004, December 2004, November 2004, October 2004, September 2004, August 2004, July 2004, June 2004, May 2004, April 2004, March 2004, February 2004, January 2003, December 2003, November 2003, October 2003, September 2003, August 2003, July 2003, June 2003, May 2003, April 2003, March 2003, February 2003, January 2002, December 2002, November 2002, October 2002, September 2002, August 2002, July 2002, June 2002, May 2002, April 2002, March 2002, February 2002, January 2001, December 2001, November 2001, October 2001, September 2001, August 2001, July 2001, June 2001, May 2001, April 2001, March 2001, February 2001, January 2000, December 2000, November 2000, October 2000, September 2000, August 2000, July 2000, June 2000, May 2000, April 2000, March 2000, February 2000, January 1999, December 1999, November 1999, October 1999, September 1999, August 1999, July 1999, June 1999, May 1999, April 1999, March 1999, February 1999, January 1998, December 1998, November 1998, October 1998, September 1998, August 1998, July 1998, June 1998, May 1998, April 1998, March 1998, February Star Wars Galaxies Lands On Hoth Posted By Mike on November 22, 2008: Chapter 11: Battle of Echo Base TCW: "Bombad Jedi" Episode Guide Posted By Mike on November 22, 2008: Now online at Starwars.com TCW Episode #7 Now Online Posted By Mike on November 22, 2008: Watch "Duel of the Droids" Happy 30th Anniversary Holiday Special!
