On paper, Lego and Star Wars are a match made in heaven - two brands widely known for easy-going, casual fun alone or with friends and family. Together, and in theory, they should make for a chilled, relaxing time.

So why is one of the most terrible moments in video games included in Lego Star Wars?

During the Return of the Jedi episode, the player follows the film's story and ends up in Jabba the Hut's palace where a Rancor resides in a pit, which must be defeated.

The player must activate a lever which drops a Gamorrean guard for the Rancor to pick up and be distracted by. The foe must then walk across the arena into the right place for the player to shoot an object causing rocks to fall onto it, thereby damaging its health.

Once you know how to beat the foe, its seems trivial but it is the timings which complicate the fight and make everything awkward to slog through.

Another reason for why this fight sucks boils down to the AI which randomly decides where the Rancor will move. This makes baiting it to exactly where you need it to be positioned tricky.

For a game that prides itself on fun, this fight lacks it all.
