My experience of this game was finding it in an empty school locker in the 5th grade and thinking that it was crazy that it let you massacre the sand people tribe. What a time to be alive.

Always found it weird how they used the wrong versions of characters for episodes

Episode I Obi-Wan fighting Episode II Anakin on Mustafar is so delightfully cursed.

It's hilarious how the final duel is a duel between Padawans 😂

its funny that you actually get to massacre the tuskens

Bro sounds like Hank Hill.

Litterally one of the first games i ever owned, before seeing any star wars films it was quite a weird trip with no idea what the story was about. Sunk 100s of hours in and had all the cheat codes written down

The "cheat codes" for this game were fun. The ones I always used changed the lightsaber color to black or yellow, or let you play as a character not on the free play roster like General Grievous or a battle droid on a speeder.

Omg seeing the kashyyk level with yoda brings back some really frustrating memories I swear I remember that level being so hard for no reason

This is one of the first video games I ever beat 100%. Played it a ton in the car when I was like 5-6 years old

This was my first lego star wars game. I remember darth vader was 25000 studs to unlock and it took me so long to get him.

This was actually one of the first ever video games I owned as a kid. I easily sunk at least 50 hours into it. Eventually I played the regular version when I finally got a ps2 but this one has a special place in my heart. I also think the gba port of lego star wars 2 is a vast improvement to this one, I recommend checking it out! I think its done by the same studio too.

This and the sequel on the GBA were my first Lego games. I emulated it years ago. I found this one really boring years ago, but it was fun enough for me to finish all of the episodes. I do remember the sequel being better in every way.

I think it's interesting how R4-P17 is incorporated into the Utapau missions alongside Obi-Wan, even though in terms of the movies, R4 was destroyed by the Buzz Droids in the Battle of Coruscant. But I guess it makes sense since they didn't wanna implement whatever other Astromech Droid Obi-Wan had for Utapau (I believe R3 something) since R4 was more well known anyways.

Fun fact: there are cheat codes that allow you to play as other characters, change your lightsaber color, and view all cutscenes.

Have very vague memories of the old hand held Lego games and I remember how weird they were.

There are so many interesting little quirks that I can't help but love it.

This was a gba game I played a ton as a kid, I really wanted it and still have my original copy, the oldest game from childhood I still have. I was bummed it didn’t have vehicle missions but I still enjoyed playing it. Never liked the isometric camera angle though as it made some platforming difficult. Nowadays I find it hard to go back to, but I still like having the game around

This was how I found out that Anakin is Darth Vader

I never finished this game. I was recording parts parts for a Let's Play, but only made it to chapter 2 of Episode III. I think my biggest frustrations have to do with the parts where you controlled R2-D2. Those sections were brutal. Some info on Griptonite. They were an independent developer studio that was absorbed by Amaze in 2006. Amaze would then be acquired by Foundation 9. Foundation 9 reinstated Griptonite Games in 2008, and Amaze merged with them in 2009. In 2011, they were sold to Glu Mobile, which was bought by EA in 2021. Whether or not the studio is still around is unknown to me.

I loved this game. Spent many hours and yes, years playing it over and over. Thank you for the nostalgia… love your channel!!

Loved this game so much as a kid. Thought it was cool how it covered different material than the console version, especially the fact they rendered a few new "cut scenes"

I forgot about the GBA Lego games. I remember putting tons of hours into both. I really liked the way the lightsabers looked in the first game for some reason, and Qui-gon was my favorite character because he could sneak around.

I love this video cause I like hearing other people talk about LEGO games, and yeah Yoda laugh is weird

Funny you mention levels leaving out important parts of the story, because the Skywalker Saga levels do too. How regressive.

11:37 fun fact: these animations are in he console versions of lsw1 and were supposed to be the death animations, you can see them being used in prototype footage

I grew up owning this version of the game and I love it and have fond memories of it, I’ll never forget the feeling when I beat it 100% I still have it somewhere around my room.

Lego Star Wars 2 on gba was a weird one. Would be a good video

OHMYGOD YODAS LAUGH MADE ME SPIT OUT MY DRINK

I actually bought Lego Star Wars 2 for the DS recently because of your review and honestly Im enjoying it. I do believe I have the patched version because many of the bugs you mentioned arent in the game but other than that the weirdness of it gives it its own charm. Holy crap though the Hoth battle's skybox draw distance is horrible

I saw this game in the skill crane type of machines, and I always wondered "how will they fit a 3D action game fit in a GBA?"

Having this game for my 9th birthday, purchasing the strategy guide for what turned out to be the console version was my first real experience with the differences in ports - “What do you mean jar jar can’t attack? Yes he can” “What do you mean the blue stud is the most valuable?” “What do you mean there’s more than 15 characters?”

This brings back memories for me. I had my modded Gameboy Advance and I played this version on my TV.

You forgot to talk about the cheat codes! You get to play as so many characters and it allows you to use more than just 1 extra character in the freeplay mode

LEGO Star Wars 2 for the GBA was the first physical videogame I ever had, and I got it for Christmas along with my first console, a Game Boy. It was either 2005 or 2006. My parents also bought me the strategy guide, without realzing it was for the console version only. Still, I read it cover to cover just for the entertainment.

I had this game as a kid, and I played the heck out of it.

I forgot I played this! Thanks for bringing back the memories!

Not only was this my 1st Lego game this was also my 1st star wars game. And from there on I became hooked on star wars games. My 7 year old brain thought this was the greatest game ever until the OT came out and then eventually TCS on DS 😅

i used to watch my cousins play this and pokemon on their gameboy back in the day. so nostalgic even tho i literally never played and just watched. such a interesting game. i played the og games on console and just always wanted to try playing this version.

Great videos! 😊 neat history

Griptonite did Chamber of Secrets on GBA, which I loved when I was younger.

I was so addicted to this game back then, i had a huge itch for starwars legos and this did well to get that itch. I spent hours trying different inputs to find secret codes so I could write them down (i still got the code sheet I made decades ago), some codes I think code sites have yet to add. Found secret characters or visual/audio manipulations and even different lightsaber/blaster colors, I was using the darksaber before I knew what a dark saber was lol.

I got this and the GameCube version for my birthday in 2005, Revenge of the Sith came out the same week as my birthday. I remember beating the GBA version in one day.

I remember finding out about these games on rom sites and I tried the 2nd one and it was alright. Crazy they even attempted to put these games on the GBA

Man I loved this game so much. I 100% it more times than I can remember.

One of my earliest memories is getting my hands on my older brother's GBA and erasing his save file for either this game or lsw2. I believe I was about two years old at the time. To this day I have no idea how or why I did it.

I love your content dude, i wish you luck

this was the first starwars game I owned. I wanted the Gamecube one (which I did eventually get) and sank so much time into this version.

I only played lego star wars II on the GBA, but that one actually had a hub world!

When i reed GBA, the first thing that came to my head was song by FGFC820 titled G.B.A. (probably shortcut for God Bless America)

I covered this game on my channel not quite two years back, and I can agree with everything you said here. I even also called it "Weird" right up front in the title, and even also used the same shot from the console game to open my video, which was hilarious to see all happen again here in yours, too. Keep up the hard work, my dude!

I really hope the algorithm starts hitting your videos more consistently, so you get the views you deserve.

I played through this a year ago, the part where you are Episode 3 Yoda just taking down waves of enemies and turrets on Kashyyyk was miserable

also this is more related to lsw2 gba than lsw1 but i remember there being a youtube channel called pingblinggames and i think that's where i found out about the gba versions, channel's been gone since but i remember the pfp being either a character from the matrix with a warped mouth or gabe newell with sunglasses and a warped mouth

I LOVED this game as a kid. The ps2 version was one of the first games I ever played, and i adored this version too, i loved the different levels and always wanted them added to the complete saga, haha

This was the first Lego Star Wars game I ever played. Got it in a weird way; during a field trip I swapped my copy of the Spongebob Movie GBA game (which was genuinely great, made by Wayforward) for his copy of this, and we forgot to swap back so uh, whoops. Ended up getting the GBA Lego Star Wars II later that same year which made the first one feel like some alien bootleg by comparison lmao

I love the death checkpoint system it made me strategize to beat the levels.

i remember playing the gba versions on 8bbit's gba website (cant remember the name rn) when i was 10

I got this from my half brother as a kid (I’m 19 he’s in his 30s) and I have the vaguest memories of the lightsaber fights. Also had Lego Star Wars 2 on ds, I just thought Lego games switched it up all the time as a kid lol.

Dang it bobby pick up that gosh darn minikit

I remember having this and playing it on 1 of the 1st Nintendo dsi models, especially remember the tusken slaughtering part.. Not sure if it was that small square Nintendo game or a Gameboy cartridge since the dsi could fit both

I remember playing the Xbox version as a kid and when I saw the gba version I was so excited I had it bought for me, just to be so confused as to why it didn’t look and play like the console version, being around 5 was fun 😂

This was the first video game I ever owned, and I loved every second

i loved this game, lego star wars for DS was really wired

The sequel to this game, the one that adapts the original trilogy, is pretty similar, but I liked it a lot better as a kid. For starters, there is a hub world on that one and a shop to buy characters like in the ps2 games

Reminds me of the Spyro games on GBA.

This video is one that I can watch again and again

I remember this game being really good for GBA of course it’s not as good as the console game. One of my favourite GBA games as a kid

What do you mean handhelds WERE popular...my Switch has never seen the inside of it's TV dock 😂

It definitely played better than any of the GBA ports by Destination Software/DSI Games.

This was the first Lego game I owned. I loved it growing up and played the crap out of it

I have the GameCube version of this game and the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii versions of Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga. Lucky for me, I never played the horrible Nintendo DS version of Lego Star Wars II The Original Trilogy. Also, since Nintendo added Quest for Camelot which was made by Warner Bros Games to the Nintendo Switch Online service, do you think they might add the GBA Lego Star Wars games sometime this year? If they do, I might give them a try.

This guy almost sounds like Hank Hill

My gosh this game was....one of the games of all time lol

I always could never get passed the ObiWan level on Utapau… where the gate would not open and I was always stuck

I remember I had nightmares after playing the game. And I killed them all. Not only the men. But the women. And the children too.

and i thought star wars 2 on ds was the low, this makes complete saga on ds look like space age tech

Great vid but also you sound like Hank Hill

The cheat codes really made this game

"It's a LEGO game. It's not supposed to be that challenging." I couldn't agree more with this quote. I just wish whoever was responsible for the crimes against LEGO that were the LEGO Movie video game on the 3DS and the even worse LEGO Marvel Super Heroes game also on the 3DS. Not if but when you die in one of those games, you have to restart the level, and there are these "optional" challenges in every level that give you gold bricks. Except after every three levels, if you're total number of gold bricks isn't high enough, you can't play the next level until you get more gold bricks from the levels you've already unlocked. LEGO Star Wars 2 may have been the worst DS game (I don't have enough of a comprehensive list to have an opinion on that claim one way or the other), but it can't have been worse than the two games I just mentioned for the 3DS because it was like LEGO games forgot how to make LEGO games. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes was even worse because every level had a single character in story mode, and even in free play mode, you could only use a team consisting of that same character and one other character of your choice. Those games don't even give you extra hearts to use. It's especially insulting when you consider that they were made during roughly the same time frame as LEGO Lord of the Rings for the 3DS which was the best LEGO game on a handheld (excluding the Switch which is technically both a console and a handheld).

Bought for like 4 bucks at a flea market back in the day. Was a big fan of the complete saga ds port at the time. I think i got stuck or bored with an early level and lost the game. Itll probably show up somewhere.

The first game I ever owned. Still have it to this day, save and all. It was so unbelievably fun for nine year old me to play. Fuck the haters, I loved this game.

Epic video

I have a lot of nostalgia for this game

I owned this game as a kid and playing it i just thought "that's it" after beating it

I had this and I was too young to know what to do so I couldn’t finish any of the levels

It's basically a 00s cellphone game

You have to do the review for LSW2 on GBA. It fixed all the issues with this game and made the gameplay closer to the console versions.

This looks way better than what I was expecting when I clicked on this video. Idk why but this is the most convincing “”3D graphics”” I have ever seen on the gba.

i used to play this aaaallll the time

I can't believe I sank so much time into this.

Who would ever of thought that obi wan would go to a cave in the GBA version and not the console ;)

Ive beaten GBA ver on mobile and ive not suffered as much as that time

I remember I used to love this game, but always had nitpicks when comparing it to the PS2 version. Though I felt like the DS version (I have the one with all 6 episodes) was the truest to the original console ones.

I played this game a lot growing up but never made it far because of how frustrating the platforming was...

3:44 wth are those super battle droids green, i guess shrek spit on them

Did anyone else play this as a child and wasn't able to beat the game because the graphics were pretty disorienting,and you couldn't find the end of the level or because the game was pretty hard sometimes?

I love how no matter which device it was on, these games always snubbed significant chunks of AOTC. I do appreciate that they used their limitations and made something new instead of trying to poorly copy the console game (like DS original trilogy did.) I'm also one of the few who likes the "survival challenge," aspect. It really made young me have to think and strategize. I do wish they'd added more sprites for different movies. Seeing padawan Anakin burning was just weird. I'd give this game a 6/10, not terrible, but not noteworthy either.

Never played this, but I own a Ben 10 game made by Griptonite Games and it was actually a really solid game

I'm surprised you didn't talk about the unlockable Baby Rancor. That has to be the weirdest character in the entire LEGO Star Wars series!
