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

7. The Project Has Been Dominated By Secrecy

Hardly surprising for a a game based on one of the most secretive blockbusters of recent years, but there seems to have been quite a bit of secrecy involved in the development of Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens too. Wileman couldn't go into too much detail about the process of how they balanced working alongside the movie or dealing with spoilers, but he did say that the team did "have had access to certain materials, of course. They understand our games and they understand our sensibilities." And then there's the other side of it - the secrecy around the game itself; despite being in production for years, it was only announced a couple of months ago. However, this doesn't seem as intentional (or, as said in the interview, "devious") - according to Tim, "it just felt right" to announce the game after the film had hit.
