The Lost Magic of Lego Star Wars

No one expected Lego Star Wars the video game to be such a slam dunk, but the most shocking thing about the Lego games was that they featured next to no voice acting. Now... they feature fully voiced scenes and dialogue ripped straight from the movies (Lego Avengers)... but hasn't some magic been lost in Lego Star Wars?

Featuring Obi-Wan, Luke, Anakin, Padme, Batman?! The Avengers and Doctor Who!

Darth Vader showing Luke a picture of himself and his wife is one of the greatest twists in cinema history!

I loved being lego Leia and killing an entire army with bitch slaps. Never have I felt so powerful.

[matiasrivera]

Lego Vader with a family picture is the best comedy i have seen in my entire life, i always remember it and laugh

[robinkomin]

Let's not forget that Johnny Depp recorded his own grunts for Lego POTC. I love that so much

Star Wars fans debating the movies: *Violent screeching*

Star Wars fans discussing the LEGO games: “Ahhh, the negotiator!”

Another thing worth mentioning: the old "mumbling games" where equally easy to follow even if you didn't understand English as a kid!

[Skirinyou]

Do you want a mumble toggle for the new lego star wars game?

Mrrmlmrmrmllmrk. *Digs into jacket and pulls out an oversized thumbs up sign.*

Lego SW is one of the only things we fans can all agree on without starting a debate.

when I discovered that C3PO loses limbs as he gets damaged, id always take him down to just a leg

One of the best uses of movie dialogue in a lego game for me is in the Lord of the Rings game. When Sam and Frodo reach the black gate and the Easterlings are marching into Mordor, they stop and knock at the gate bringing a stack of pizzas, to which the orcs' response is "Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!" It's probably my favorite gag in the game.

[reckless]

If they include a mumble toggle, I'm definitely playing with that on.

Edit: Damn guys relax xD

LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy was my first introduction to Star Wars at 8 years old. Part of the game's charm back then was that I didn't have to understand English to play it. This series will forever have a place in my heart.

6:54 “Let’s get back to some of the comedy please”

Given Skywalker Saga keeps getting delayed, I think a gruntable mode could happen, they've got the time and I imagine a LOT of people want it... Myself included. I like voice acting but yeah, grunts are the best way to make the game funny.

[taikicrockett]

Don’t you love it when Finn gets more character development in lego parodies like the holiday special and the skywalker saga than the movies in which he is literally one of the main characters

[BombasticLion]

I will literally cry tears of joy if skywalker saga has a mumble option

[DATFilms]

I've never cried watching Vader's death in Return... but I did cry when Lego Luke kissed his hand and put in his father's head with sorrow making a "hiting glass" sound like the body is already cold.

[claytongoode]

In essence, the original Star Wars Lego games at what Lucas had dreamed of; to tell a narrative without dialogue.

I get that voice acted Lego games have a bit of a poor reputation, but come on you can't just leave out Lego: Lord of the Rings like that. That game perfectly handled its voice acting without sacrificing that original Lego comedy, all while being true to the movies, and including some stuff from the original books. I love that game man

[DragonxFlutter]

I think having a “mumble mode” would be cute. Not sure how practical it would be, but I like the concept. My hope is that they actually rewrite the dialogue to give it some of the charm from the LEGO Star Wars TV shows and specials.
