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

9. The Actors Returned For In-Level Commentary

After years of mute figures miming out the movies, LEGO The Lord Of The Rings switched things up and pulled real dialogue from the film. At first looking like it'd change the whole dynamic of the series, it's been mostly accepted as a very positive addition, allowing for a greater breadth of jokes in the cutscenes. Following on from similar work with Jurassic World, the cast of The Force Awakens recorded new voice snippets for the game. From what I played it was mostly in-level stuff, with Daisy Ridley providing more targeted commentary on what Rey and BB-8 were up to in the Star Destroyer - the cutscenes stuck with tradition and kept the use of lines directly from the film (although some may have been rerecorded for clarity).
