Play LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Online

Summary

LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy on the Game Boy Advance feels like a stripped‑down sibling of its console cousins. Amaze Entertainment gave the handheld its own visual twist, swapping the polished 3D look for a more pixel‑friendly style and even reshuffling some levels—merging a few, cutting others out entirely. The roster is trimmed to 36 characters, with a handful that only appear on this version, and the usual power‑brick bonuses are gone, sold separately as optional extras. Critics noted the GBA run can be breezed through in about two hours, and its low difficulty sparked mixed reactions, but it still rode the wave of the series’ massive worldwide sales.

Storyline

The game comically retells the trilogy’s events using cutscenes without dialogue. Its central hub is the Mos Eisley cantina on Tatooine, where players can spend Lego studs to purchase characters, vehicles, gameplay hints, extras, or activate cheat codes.

LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy is divided into levels accessed from the cantina; each of the three films is represented by six levels set in key locations such as Hoth, Bespin, Dagobah, Tatooine, the Death Star, and Endor, plus bonus stages. During play you defeat enemies, build objects from Lego bricks, and drive vehicles. Some levels are played entirely while piloting a TIE fighter, a Snowspeeder, or the Millennium Falcon.

Levels must first be completed in Story Mode, which unlocks the next level and a Free Play mode for the just‑finished stage. Story Mode restricts playable characters to those seen in the film scenes, while Free Play allows the use of all unlocked characters.
