LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

[enderdrag64 624]

Anyone see the leaked 40 minutes of gameplay from a couple days ago?

 

I'm not that familiar with sequel trilogy music, but are there any previously unreleased cues here?

[Chewy 2,393]

I can only hear music that was on the OSTs here

and it is quite quiet in the mix!

[Dr. Rick 1,157]

I’ve already got the game pre-ordered (digital deluxe version), can’t wait to collect all the bricks!!  😝 

[Manakin Skywalker 4,897]

There's some music here not from the films (like in the ROTS level). So either it also has an original score, or they just tracked music in from the Battlefront games.

 

EDIT: I don't recognize any of it, so I don't think it's from any of the previous games. Plus it doesn't sound like a real orchestra, or at least a larger one. So I think it has an original score.

whatever it is, sounds quite good to my ears composition-wise

Wonder why for TROS they used the trailer music and not The Rise of Skywalker ?

They seem to have really botched the music in this game.  

[Holko 9,529]

Is it all as terribly mixed as in the trailers?

[Manakin Skywalker 4,897]

Won't really matter anyway, music volume is always adjustable in the Lego game menus.

[Holko 9,529]

I didn't mean volume, the gameplay audio in the trailers just sounded terrible.

[Bellosh 3,419]

Music wise, I care a little bit less than I used to when I first signed up to this forum.

 

Gameplay wise, the complete saga was so much fun....this looks cool too. I'm very interested in how they've made it a more zoomed in, third person experience.  These games can "hand-hold" a lot, so I hope it's not too bad.  Most of the Lego video games I've enjoyed had a more zoomed out, open world experience.  One of the reasons why Lego Indy 2 sucked vs the original.

 

I'll probably give this a purchase though.

Slave I* has 4 engines, the big one has been split in two? 

 

*damn they really changed the name to Boba fetts starship. 

 

How lame is that? Is slave so offensive a word now? 

[King Mark 3,631]

Hopefully a few Prequel or TROS unreleased tracks will show up in there

Slave is a descriptive world of a situation, it is not an insult, isnt it? 

 

Romans and moors enslaved white Spanish people... It problable all the different peoples of the world have been slaves at some point in their histories. 

 

 

Btw, Are they going to change the phantom menace and eliminate any mention of slavery too? 

 

And heck at leat create a new name for the ship, dont just name it generically. 

[Cerebral Cortex 3,357]

So, um, about this new Lego Star Wars video game, heh heh...

[SilverTrumpet 638]

I guess nobody wanted to discuss this topic in the video game thread with me................

Did you watch The Book of Boba Fett? He told Fennec Shand that his Firespray spaceship was trapped in Jabba's hangar.

 

Firespray-31 is the correct name for the class of ship that the Slave I is. It's still technically called the Slave I. It doesn't need to be actively called by that name anymore. 

 

The word "slave" is used many times in various movies, but it's not being used to sell those movies. 

 

The word "slave" is not a good word to slap on the outside of a toy box that you're selling to children, especially when so many consumers are descended from slaves of various empires and nations. Disney is wise to avoid controversy by distancing themselves from the word.

I'm on the fence about wanting this game. 

I own the original saga game for Wii but I don't play it. I don't even know why I still own my Wii.

The merchandise actively calls the ship "boba fett's starship" not firespray-31, a name i would not have a problem with. 

 

The toys and other mechandise had been named slave I for 40 years, and i think nobody cared.... 

 

 

I think It has never been called Slave I in films or tv... So in truth i dont know if that name is even canon, and they could have chosen a new cool name. 

 

 

Does this dicussion break forum rules? I would not like to continue if thats the case.

If Paramount allowed a toy maker to sell a model kit called "Captain Kirk's Starship," it would be accurate. 

 

It does not matter if nobody cared about the word "slave" forty years ago. The ignorance of yesterday does not gift a free pass to the future. It only matters what goes on new merchandise moving forward. 

 

The term "Slave One" was used extensively in the old EU Legends, but it is still canon now. Case in point, this two year old comic set during the final act of The Empire Strikes Back. 

 

https://www.laughingplace.com/w/articles/2020/01/02/comic-review-star-wars-2020-1/

 

Here, Lando Calrissian, drawn as Billy Dee, an American black man with African American parents, uses the term "slave" in his dialog. 

 

 

 

I don't remember if the ship's name was spoken in Episode II because it's been a long time since I wanted to watch it. I got six eps into The Clone Wars before stopping. 

 

This bothers you a lot. It shouldn't. 

 

Slave is not a nice word. It never was. George should've named it something else, but George never predicted his ships would become Lego sets and his bad guys would become good guys with their own TV shows. 

 

Calling the ship "Boba Fett's Ship" is more publicity for the character himself and the show, which is a tent pole for Disney+.

Calling it "slave" sounds dirty. It would be like selling Lego sets for Leia's torture / mind rape scene, or with her rape costume from Jabba's Palace.

Which begs the question...in the new videogame, how are Oola and Leia dressed in Jabba's Court room (and the latter in the sail barge too)...

Still children, from over the world loved evil boba fett for 40 years.

 

 

PD: are hard drives master/slave today or have they changed nomenclature too?

The terms have been phasing out for twenty years. 

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master/slave_(technology)

 

I've been building personal computers since the 90s.  The days of using one data cable to connect multiple IDE hard drives, with the need to specify which drive takes priority, are over. SATA hard drives have no jumpers for master/slave. One drive, one cable. 

 

Just don't fuck up the drive assignment in your BIOS. If you mix up your RAID array with your standalone disks, your data is hosed. 

[Positivatee 327]

So. About this Lego game. 

 

Do the graphics designers have the word LEGO written on the nub of every single brick in the game? 

[Luke Skywalker 1,795]

I dont know but the lego games look less legoly every year. The resistance base is just a photoreal jungle with lego minifigures spread arround... .. Even the blockade runner and the imperial star destroyer do not look like a real lego set.

really? I thought the exact opposite:

 

I mean not all of the environments are made out of lego in either game, but in the Skywalker Saga from the footage I've seen it looks like more of it is

 

 

[Luke Skywalker 1,795]

I meant the ship models not the interior. 

 

I suppose some things are better done and others arent. 

[DarthDementous 1,059]

Slave 1 is called as such because it was an enforcement ship on a prison moon that Jango stole. This is true for both canons.

 

Let’s not pretend that the name change happened for any other reason than that of a cynical marketing one. The moral argument holds zero weight when it’s done by a company that will pander to racist outlooks if it’s more marketable in certain places.

 

In a narrative sense they ended up writing themselves into a corner. They can’t change the personal name of the ship because that would create contradictions, but it’s also weird to have the literal owner of the ship call it by its model name. It would be like if Han said ‘you never heard of the YT-1300 Corellian Freighter?’

[michael_grig 472]

Honestly, I'm so hyped for this game. I used to play the old Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga when I was a little kid and from the footage I've seen so far, it's all fantastic!!!

[Brando 1,864]

Something's I'm noticing playing Lego Star Wars, the very very first Lego game-
Some of the mini kits are pretty easy to find, unlike Indiana Jones, so it's nice that they improved on the puzzles and whatnot
In Revenge of the Sith, when you rescue the chancellor in free play, after killing Dooku his hair piece and head go flying and that's all that's left
One of the doors immediately after that that requires a protocol droid to open, all that's behind it is a brick wall
 

Was playing the very first Lego SW game today, and these are some things I picked up on, which I thought was funny. The new one looks like it'll follow the previous Lego games humor wise, which is exciting.

[enderdrag64 624]

I guess the embargo must have lifted today because there are tons of gameplay videos on youtube now. Either that or people got physical copies early. Anyways, there's definitely some officially unreleased music in the game because I'm hearing stuff that wasn't on the OST in at least the Phantom Menace gameplay I've seen. Everything I've heard so far is all stuff we have already from other games/the UE though

 

 

Edit: Here are some complete playthroughs of entire episodes I found with music enabled and no commentary:

 

The Phantom Menace:

 

The Empire Strikes Back:

Return of the Jedi:

 

The Force Awakens:

The Last Jedi

 

I haven't seen any complete uploads for episodes II,III, IV or IX yet, although there are a few excerpts of revenge of the sith here and there, namely the mustafar fight, and of course footage from IV is all over the place just not in one complete upload

Surely you're boycotting this horrible racist company then, and won't feel the need to participate in any future discussions about it.

Yeah I think you're right I rechecked against the UE all the phantom menace stuff I heard probably came from there.

What on earth are you talking about? I'm not the one making the moral argument, unless you're denying that Disney doesn't pander to racist outlooks for marketability?

This is one of the most baffling replies I've ever gotten. Even if I was boycotting the company, staying quiet about what I was boycotting them for makes absolutely zero sense

Ugh... sounds like it. I'm assuming that's all the game developers were given to work with.

 

From the parts of the Ep. 7 gameplay, it sounded like the tracks they featured were the micro-edited album versions too.

[crumbs 14,318]

 

No Falcon Flight for that sequence, no Rey Training for that sequence... sheesh.

 

Think we can forget about unreleased sequel music in this game

[SilverTrumpet 638]

There was some stuff I didn't recognize in a couple of gameplay videos I saw. It didn't sound like it was from the movies. Mostly menu and results screens I think. Aside from unreleased Williams music, is there additional music for the game at all?

Why go through all the hassle of collating the sessions, when you can just hand over a couple CD's* and call it a day?

 

*or zip files whatever.
