LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 10 Early Reactions To Our Hands On Time

9.The New Story Content Is Great

The delay between The Force Awakens movie and the game adaptation means that TT had to give fans another reason to play beyond the appeal of the original. They’ve done so by adding in six new story levels that fill in some narrative gaps.

These are stories that nobody has written anywhere else before, with vocal performances from the original cast added to LEGO’s exceptionally gripping gameplay. And the level that I was able to play - Poe Dameron’s rescue of Admiral Akbar from the Empire - showed exactly how well those levels have been designed and executed.

The spirit of the film remains (albeit with the comedy amplified), it’s great to hear Oscar Isaac and Tom Kane recording new material and the adventure actually adds to the overall Force Awakens narrative. The hype for the other five levels (particularly the Rathtar Hunt level is now huge).
