Over at StarWars.com Dan Brooks brings us a look inside the awesome looking LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Beginning with the release of 2005’s LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, the LEGO Star Wars series has become one of the most popular gaming franchises set in a galaxy far, far away. There are many reasons for this. LEGO Star Wars games combine the creativity of LEGO building with the action and drama of Star Wars, neither outweighing the other. Their controls are intuitive, whether you’re a lightsaber-wielding Jedi or bowcaster-carrying Wookiee. And they’re completely hilarious. (In just one of many, many examples, see LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, in which Artoo initially refuses to accept the Death Star plans from Princess Leia. In response, she just lifts up his dome and angrily throws them in. It’s in-character and really kind of brilliant.) But most importantly, LEGO Star Wars games are really, really fun, plain and simple, exemplifying a true all-ages take on the saga. They’re games for everyone and, finally, the next chapter is here.
