The Skywalker Saga lets you choose to start your session in The Phantom Menace, A New Hope, or The Force Awakens (the first entries in each sub-trilogy). It also finally lets us experience The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker in their glorious LEGO forms.Īs is the case with the Star Wars films, though, the ability to experience all these adventures at once also raises questions about the “best” order to experience them in. While the LEGO Star Wars games have always been fun, The Skywalker Saga expands the scope of those titles in a way that makes them far more substantial without compromising the simpler pleasures they’ve traditionally offered.

It's also a tribute to the perfection of the original special effects, more innovative than the effects in the first Star Wars movie and better than the effects in any subsequent one.LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a joyful triumph. Since Lucas was so keen on making changes wherever he could this is obviously a tribute to the tightness of the story and the direction. He added a few extra shots of the ice monster, which of course weakened that one scene but even with those changes in place the Special Edition is virtually identical to the original edition. You'll notice he made precious few changes to episode V. When George Lucas gave his Star Wars trilogy a fresh coat of varnish in 1997 he felt he had to justify the expense by making needless changes. Luke's human idealism is vindicated, but his supernatural powers, just this once, are not. The film is really about the temporary triumph of human impulses over the mystical Force. All five Jedis - Luke, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Vader, and the Emperor - find that their conflicting instincts are all entirely wrong. As for Luke: he abandons Yoda to rescue Han and Leia, and achieves NOTHING WHATEVER. Instead we end with the promise that the rescue will some day occur. It was very important NOT to end with the dashing rescue that opens `Return of the Jedi', which would be dramatically beside the point. In the end they are honest with one another and if Han's being frozen and shipped back to Tatooine is the price to pay for this, well, it's the price to pay.
The main story concerns the understanding that builds between Han and Leia. Our sympathy clearly lies with the entirely non-spiritual concerns of Han, Leia and the adolescent Luke.
The film is ambivalent in its attitude towards Yoda, anyway. The training scenes are many and Yoda talks a great deal of rubbish. Han's party gets away first (is it just me, or is the shot of Luke watching the Falcon flying off while he stands stranded on the ground, a poignant one?), but thereafter they face one narrow escape after another, while Luke slinks off quietly and safely to train with Yoda. After the surprise attack on the rebel base, Luke Skywalker splits with Han, Leia, et al.
If you're one of those few, then believe me: your ignorance is precious enough to be worth guarding until you see the film. Obviously, I can't discuss this without giving things away to those few who don't know what happens. I'm therefore inclined to think it DOES have an ending. `It avoids having the standard shoot-'em-up ending,' says a friend of mine, `by not having an ending.' I suppose this is what most people think, but all the same the film manages to form a satisfying whole or at least, a whole that satisfies me.
