Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens Hands-On Review - 12 Things You Need To Know

11. The New Story Levels Show How Han Got The Rathtars And How Lor San Tekka Got To Jakku

Out of the game's eighteen levels, eleven of them are from The Force Awakens, but the other seven are made up of entirely new story elements that details the events between Return Of The Jedi and the new movies. It was already seen we'd get some Endor wrap-up, but at the event it was confirmed that we'll also see how Han and Chewie captured the Rathtars and, perhaps most excitingly, how Lor San Tekka wound up on Jakku. This was an incredibly exciting experience for the team at TT Games, who "had a fit" when they found out they'd get to add to the Star Wars mythos. The company was reportedly given a fair amount of creative license with these sections, able to expand them in whichever way they wanted. While obviously these levels won't be fully canon - all LEGO games play fast and loose in that regard - the broader characters, locations and interactions are, and according to Wileman, they may reappear in more media down the line.
