As someone who *hated* the most recent Star Wars trilogy for defacing and besmirching my memories of the original three, I have stayed well clear of any games that involve, include or make reference to them. David Hinkle over at Wii Fanboy apparently shares my loathing, so he and I both were surprised to find that the Lego-based lego star wars Complete Saga actually rocks.




Hinkle writes:

"You know, we never played the first Lego Star Wars game because, frankly, Star Wars Episode 1, 2 and 3 were trash. Seriously, we couldn't find a single thing worth liking about those new movies, but this is not the proper forum to complain about them, we're merely presenting you with a why as to our avoiding that game.

The latest trailer for Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga has us thinking that we missed out hard though, as the invasion of Naboo level looks like all kinds of fun. And those graphics are pretty nice, too."

You can check this out for yourself. I think it's the sound effects that pull me in every time like a big old sucker.
