Why Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Has a Serious Jetpack Problem
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 เม.ย. 2022
- Lego Star Wars: TSS is overall a fun experience, but it has some growing pains. I noticed this most prominently with the lack of a beefed-up jetpack to compensate for the larger hub worlds. In this video, I argue that the two primary reasons why the Lego Star Wars world has yet to demonstrate effective jetpack technology are a) the Lego world has limited material availability, and b) the Lego and non-Lego worlds share the same relevant laws of physics. A pragmatic and scientifically-sound solution is also proposed.

Q&A:
Q: Where’s the minimum studs/buttons/whatever video for The Skywalker Saga?
A: It’s being slowly worked on. I’m kind of waiting for more interesting glitches to be found, though there definitely are a few already. Don’t expect anything anytime soon.
Q: Why does this video exist?
A: Did you not watch it in its entirety?
Q: Did you actually interview a NASA scientist?
A: For legal reasons, I cannot answer in the affirmative.
Q: Is the scientific information in this video accurate?
A: I hope it is, but it is all meant for a rudimentary level of understanding, so the nuance is completely ignored. I will add any corrections here if I got something totally wrong.
Q: What about mods that buff jetpacks in Lego Star Wars: TSS?
A: These are noncanonical and so provide no insight into the world of the game. But I’m sure PC players appreciate the option.
Q: Do you know how to use a microphone? What’s with all the clipping?
A: I set the gain a bit too high, OK. Won’t happen again, gosh. (Seriously though, that was a big oopsie; I really didn’t feel like re-recording though.) - เกม
Finn: "They fly now?!"
Poe: "They... well, they don't fly now. They just briefly hover"
And yet somehow Rey, wicket and every other scavenger can make a better jetpack then the first/final order and the fetts.
“They fly now! Oop nevermind.”
THEY HOVER NOW???
Another settlement needs your help.
@@TrammeIant
yeah they hover for a second and then fall
The jet packs are by far the most disappointing part of the game. You can barely hover over jumping sections because of how little time you can use it
Jesus the bots in replies are getting worse.
Gliders are so good basically better jet packs.
@@jakeaulgur7228 yeah unless you want to go upward
@@lc6997 you could just force left objects to pile them together gather then use a glider.
@@jakeaulgur7228 yeah but imagine just having a better jet pack instead of having to do all that bullshit
I think a good way to get around the ‘jet pack ruining open world’ issue would be to make an infinite jetpack cheat that would be super expensive so it could only be accessible in the endgame.
Or just have it as a 100% reward… It would be better then a little lever.
There is a jetpack mod already
@@alxexp Yes, but if its a 100% reward there isnt really anything left to do with it
@@brandonlansink7 Not everyone has access to mods plus it shouldnt be up to mods to fix everything
@@artifice4723 But jetpacks are already kind of broken.
"Three fan made spin-offs" is such a perfect way to explain the Disney films
Not really.
Agreed
@@keelanbarron928 do you mind, like, actually explaining anything? Instead of just saying two words?
TOO GOOD
This other guy said that these movies were clearly not made by fans
Yeah I agree, the game added many fun things, but also removed/butchered others
I find it weird that the game has been hyped up so much and has been delayed for so long, yet it seems to be missing a truckload of content. Like no large explorable open areas on a lot of planets, no drivable land vehicles except for speeders, a lot of missed opportunities for unlockable capital ships like the Venator or the Imperial Star Destroyer, no ships like the LAAT or U-Wing and the weird choice to not put in any Clone Wars characters like Rex or Ventress but instead dedicating those character slots to stuff like Gonk droid and the weird tiddie alien from the casino scene in Last Jedi.
@@scoutman66 also no custom characters
@@CptPatrik And the entirety of Kijimi seems to be missing. You can see Boba running around there in the trailer. It makes me think that somewhere near the end they just cut a lot of content and have no idea why.
@@sound4117 that's because it isn't trying to replicate neither serve as a remake or remaster of the complete saga
@@phoenixv2460 to be fair that isn’t even their point, it didn’t have to be a 1:1 remake or a remaster it just had to be a good and complete game
I see one issue with this otherwise perfectly logical and scientific approach. The character you used the most, the first order jet trooper, similar to many other characters, has a functioning rocket propelled weapon capable of accelerating mass further and faster than the jetpack they also wield. This leads me to believe that in fact the jetpack design itself is flawed in some manner. Therefore we should be lobbying to return to the old jetpack model reminiscent of a scuba diver's oxygen tank
That's some big brain stuff right there
but lego dude greater mass than rpg
True, however I would like to mention that rockets are supposed to explode, thus safety is less of a concern.
the rocket weights less than a person?
Nerd
I believe that the Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga clearly fails at Jetpacks canonically in terms of story consistency. As we know in the fan-made official Star Wars film, Rise Of Skywalker, Poe Damron clearly states "They fly now", implying that Jetpacks can be used to fly, which is countered by the lack of flying in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.,
Why do people claim That the sequals arent canon? Look i know people say they suck but they're still Star Wars films
In my opinion they're canon
@@Jason49110 In my opinion they should be removed from canon and forgotten about, I'm sick of hearing about these shitty sequels.
@@flareonguy7922 i understand why people hate Rise of Skywalker, in fact its my least favorite Star Wars film, but i dont understand why people hate The Last Jedi and the Force Awakens
@@Jason49110 The Last Jedi isn't a bad movie, but its a bad Star Wars movie. Rian Johnson as the writer and director didn't really care about the source material of the franchise he was working on. During one of his infamous twitter arguments back in 2019 he even admitted that he never even saw Return of the Jedi. I could give my thoughts on the movie rather than the emotionally stunted manchild who made it, but I just want to be done with the sequels. Besides, if I did list my grievances with the movie you'd have a script for an hour long critique and god knows there are enough of those on youtube.
Also none of the bounty hunters have detonators, and normal characters can jump as high as Jedi :/
yeah i was wondering why everyone could double jump
Yeah its dumb
Exactly, there should be 4 jumping categories
-Jump
-Jump-Dive
-Double Jump
-Darth Jar Jar super double jump
@@idontwant2beasoldiermama241 Add General Grievous and his Magnaguards to that last tier.
bounty hunter grenades are an upgrade in this game but they don’t blow up silver legos. i’m kind of happy about that tho since it gives a use to villains other than opening certain doors
Totally agree, especially considering that Traveller’s Tales has made games where characters have full unlimited flight in open worlds before.
and some are LEGO games I might add, the Lego Marvel games being front and center in my mind
@@keeganlafferty1395 and one of my love game: lego DC super villians
@@torenowatchingyourass exactly! so where's the problem with the jetpacks being better? where's the problem with giving the Astromechs their thrusters back?
@@keeganlafferty1395 astromech and fetts was better on complete saga and clone wars
i don't mind it not being unlimited, but i agree that the duration could and should be longer
I’ve actually used the jet pack quite a bit, initially I didn’t like it, but it does give a little bit of forgiveness in platform and can allow you to cheese some kyber bricks.
The Jetpacks should have been more like in Battlefront 2 2005 and 2017. I was fully expecting Boba and Jango to be able to fly like Ironman in Lego Marvel Superheroes.
Me as well, especially when I was hearing about how open world it was going to be
They don’t need Iron man levels of flight but they need some height, speed, and duration for sure
That was far more in-depth than I expected, learned a lot about rockets.
Was gonna like, but I don’t want to be the one to ruin that totally nice 👌🏻 number
didn’t expect to find slymcry here
Never thought this video would almost apply to my materials engineering degree
@@pornhubtv3107 that’s cool and all but does he play Lego Star Wars and completely analyze it?
Using the force to move droids already breaks a lot of kyberbricks.
and moving non-droids as a sith. Its completely broken
They’re limited in height. But they know this. They said you have a choice. The game is all about choice.
@@cadenm5538 Then give me the choice to hover as boba got dammit
Using two sith, you can lift onto a higher object switch characters and lift the other one onto another object and continue
I completely forgot you could use the force on droids lmao
I agree, they just can't get me and my dad's jetpack right.
You are aware your dad was killed in the clone wars
😂😂😂
@@kimfisto1463 Nah he just meet him jesterday. They even talk to eachother in unique interactions. Oh and : boba inherited Jangos armor and jetpack, which would mean that they should function exactly the same.
And then there is the most important point : your on the Internet laughing at someone with a joke account named after a movie character because his (Non Cannon) comment would break the Cannon Star Wars timeline.
In conclusion: learn how to understand sarcasm and don’t correct someone on the Internet if it isn’t about something in real life.
@@thatonedude6949 LMAOO it's never this deep
Patience My Boy This Will Be Fixed In Time.
It's sad to see all the areas this game missed the mark on. Yeah, overall it's an outstanding game, but it needs more support. When Tt announced the game would not have live support (or whatever it's called), that just darkened the situation. No custom creator, no Clone Wars or Rebels characters, and the lack of uniqueness of the character like mentioned in this video. Skywalker Saga is an outstanding game but it needs some finishing touches.
i was so disappointed when i figured out there was no custom creator
@@CycloneFNF me too buddy. me too.
@@carpetbeetle8349 samee
But there is a clone wars character!........it's mama the hutt!
@@keelanbarron928 I dont see how the developers were so in-depth with including characters like her, mr bones, nobot, and other very obscure characters, but were so stupid as to not include anything from rebels or clone wars (besides Mama)
Will you come back to youtube and give us the Skywalker Saga challenge you mention at the end of this video?
Loved your videos so far!
I guess he abandoned the channel..
I'm actually using Bobba to explore and work on 100% the game, the jetpack isn't nearly as good as it used to be however I have discovered a few tricks with it. The one I can think of rn, is getting more height, if you do a quick boost then do a full boost you'll actually gain height, this along with the grapple has allowed me to get easier access to certain kyber bricks.
Yeah, Boba and Jango are still better than the other Bounty Hunters purely because the slight added hover is better than nothing.
Yeah, I'm using boba and dark side Anakin, because they look sick, and they look sick together. Use Anakin to lift the other character wherever I want. If you wanted to be more effective, you could replace Anakin with Vader. Vader has the ability to use the villain panels, along with his dark side power set
for added distance, you can tap really quickly for basically a double jump, which can be done twice, then hold the button and still use the full jetpack
Free form jetpacks actually function perfectly for Lego characters in Lego Avengers! Since Marvel movies take place on Earth, the only conclusion must be all Star Wars characters are actually tiny compared to earth humans, and their Lego games reflected their true scale. TT games is uncovering the true Star Wars lore.
Good to know about the Lego Avengers jetpacks! Will have to play the Marvel games some day, I hear good things
But the puzzles are made with flying characters in mind. Marvel and DC have too many flying characters for this not to be true, but Lego Star Wars doesn't have nearly as many. I am disappointed they didn't upgrade speed and height, but at the end of the day there aren't enough characters, and remember the devs had to remove the character creator, which is a staple of lego games. Now if they make another clone wars game on the other hand..... Rex with jetpack, clone jetpack troops of several units, death watch, mauldalorians, nite owls, cad bane's rocket boots, TODO (cad's droid), R2 (upgraded boosters in D-Squad), B2 Rocket droid, B2 super rocket droid, B1 pod hunters, etc., so they can't not change it.
But hey that’s just a theory, a game theory
@@pornhubtv3107 that’s nice, but does he like LEGO jet packs
@@tk-6967 Maybe if we get Lego Star Wars the Clone Wars 2?
I wish they would bring back all of the classic character abilities, things like what you talked about, jetpacks and astromechs being able to fly properly, but also things like the Jedi and Sith being able to double jump and the rest doing a dive instead, short characters being able to use hatches (now it's protocol droids who do it) bounty hunters having thermal detonators, gungans doing a super jump, etc. i think the character abilities are the least best part of the game (I use least best because the characters aren't all that bad imo, but it was the only thing I noticed that was a bit of a downgrade from the originals.)
Small droids like BB-8 can also go straight through the protocol droid vents without fuss or disassembly.
Not gonna lie, I kinda like the new hatches with the Protocol droids and BB units, more fun than sitting there for a sec waiting for your character to appear on the other side
@@thesauce0803 I’m not a fan of how one of the halves has a complete mind of it’s own like walking back into the vent while I’m trying to get through or teleporting back out in particularly long sections like Kamino.
@@Shiratto just switch to your other half and bring it to you, now you longer have a AI with a mind of its own lol
@@thesauce0803 The AI troubles sometimes happen when I do that to. Believe me I’ve done so. It’s just very finicky in my experience.
This video went in a direction I really wasn't expecting, but I enjoyed it, and I feel like I learned a lot
Devs: We've gotta make the jetpack really short, or it'll be too op!
Also devs: yea lifting any droids anywhere seems fine lol
There is only the limit that you can’t lift them infinitely high because you can’t always reach the bottom one again most times, but that doesn’t matter when you take character cloning.
@@thatonedude6949 and also sith force lifting when you use 2 sith
When I first bought Jango, I was stunned at how quickly the jetpack fizzled out, I thought it was completely useless. Then I started going for kyber bricks without access to scavengers. And Jango ended up being mvp most of the time. I definitely recommend trying to collect as many bricks using the Fetts as possible because there are quite a few engaging puzzles doing it that way.
I like how you referred to the "sequels" as spin-offs as that's what they ultimately are: spin-offs, not canon films
@@pattiaufzack agreed
Looked for the comments to find this yeah they’re worse than fan made films lmao like Bollywood starwars type shit
@@K1LLERSQU1D even Spaceballs was better than the sequels, AND THAT WAS A PARODY FILM!
Some good points with characters feeling samey and jetpacks actually being horrible. But what the hell this turned into a science lesson haha. Loved it
I was in mustafar and tried to use the jet pack to glide over to a platform and just fell in 2 seconds. Such a disappointment I loved using them in the original to go around but now I can’t so if I want to go around I have to just keep using the force to move my teammate and switching them. They should implement different jet pack types for different characters. Jet troopers could go vertically but with little horizontal movement whilst someone like Jango could have horizontal distance instead.
I also want to note that when using Grievous in a boss battle, during sections where you clash and hold, he gets changed to another character thats either Sith or Jedi and its quite annoying
Yeah, because he’s not a Jedi or a sith, but really come on? Did u really have to treat him like just any other villian. He’s clearly special and should have either like a special class or just an exempt from the class rules in some cases
It is like that for most free play characters but is very inconsistent it only happens in some of the fights
0:18 earned my like right there
There are three ways I think the jetpacks could have been fixed : 1. make it a permanent Hover with a specific height above the ground, this would still be pretty bad but at least cool. 2 ; Upgrades that allow the jetpack to fly higher/longer/faster. 3 ; a expensive extra that would fix the jetpack by making The same as 2.
I remember when I first tried out the jetpacks in this game and was greatly disappointed with how short the duration is, but honestly after playing with them for a few hours and getting to know how they worked I adapted and now they're unironically one of the most useful things for me in regards to open world exploration.
I've found that when you fully upgrade your running speed, all the momentum that you gather while running carries over when you're flying with the jetpack. So if there's a far jump that isn't too ridiculous, I'll get a good running start first then tap the jetpack in mid air a few times until I reach said platform. Too far away however then you'll need to full send it but with the momentum gathered from running I've been able to clear surprisingly large gaps.
As for vertical height, I find that if you want to clear a high fence or wall for example then you really have to get as much height as possible out of your initial double jump before fully boosting with the jetpack and you can actually get some good height out of it.
The only thing that really sucks for me personally is that they didn't have The Mandalorian a jetpack even though he's barely ever seen without his after season 1.
Please come back:(
I was amazed how this went from a well put together video about a serious gripe with the game design, to an overly complex breakdown of the chemical makeup of various plastics, rocket design, and how turning on the big-head mod will save jetpacks in the future so seamlessly I almost didn't notice.
Btw, congrats on 1M subs.
Jets packs are actually pretty good for a low level player. As soon as I got Jango fett from attack of the clones I was able to get to alot of places I shouldn't have been able to especially since Jango has a grapple with a jet pack
The people need your return
Bro you went from talking about jetpacks to testing brick density and the video suddenly felt like satire.. this is great to watch while stoned
The math lesson was a surprise, but a welcome one at that. Nice touch and reasoning
This is the exact opposite of how jetpacks should work in games.
Reminds me of the jetpacks in Lego Movie 2 Video Game had a really weak jetpack, but was barely better than Skywalker Saga's jetpack.
@@Oyebadumn I think so far the best jetpack we have so far in a LEGO is the ones in the previous LEGO Star Wars Games and the one from LEGO city undercover
@@ComiccollectorGamer What about the Lego Marvel and DC games' flight?
@@Protosilver97 yeah but those aren’t technically jet packs iron man has a suit powered by the arc Reactor the only one of the one with a Jetpack is the jokers from Batman the animated series DLC
@@ComiccollectorGamer batman can use a jetpack in lego batman 3 byond gotham it worked as limmited flight but you can turn it unlimited with a red brick
You can actually jump higher with jetpacks you have to press jump once, then tap jump and then hold it to hover. This gives you effectively 2,5 Jumps
Was super suprised to learn about what makes Lego very cool nice video!
“A fun retelling of all 6 mainline films, and 3 fan made spin offs” I don’t know you but man I love you for that
I found if you jump and use the jetpack at the right time you can skip some final parts of puzzles. I use boba alot while collecting bricks
Come back. We need you
Nice to see you back good video
"fun retellings of all six mainline films, plus the three recent fan-made spinoffs" got me pretty good lmao
There’s a lot a like about the game and there’s also a lot that I would either change or just leave out. I’m kinda of frustrated about how easy the game is. The easiness of the game can make it boring sometimes, especially if you’re trying to 100% all collectibles. It’s just strange, spending 100+ hours on one of the hardest games of all time (elden ring), and then going to play a children’s game is definitely a huge difference lol
I feel like this is accurate, I heard the in universe Lego engineers took about 50 years to invent refrigerators.
This video was so fire
funny, chill, super entertaining bro
You got my sub
“+ the 3 recent fanmade spinoffs” I love it
They nerfed it so you can use the scavenger legos powers
Gliding is a slope downwards while the jetpack is a straight line, still not a good excuse
Plus, you could just have the glider as is, with the expenses of height, you have a larger distance
@@deathpie24 yeah it’s lame none of the “jet pack characters” can no longer fly indefinitely. But they had to make something different. Now they can advertise as all new powers while destroying some characters. And don’t get me started on the blaster and net. They should be stand alone specials.
Legend I hope you are doing fine
I'm not sure if you're aware, but if you tap the jump button after an initial jump instead of holding it, and then hold the button after, you can effectively use the jetpack to give yourself a triple jump that also lets you move in a straight line after for a short period. I was messing around with this and found it to be extremely useful for navigating the free roam, especially when trying to boost myself *up*. I like to think about it like how yoshi can flutter in several 2d mario games; that's what the jetpacks feel like with a double jump. I actually am not disappointed at all with how jetpacks work after this revelation; they're unparalleled in vertical movement and are great for an extra boost in horizontal movement across agap.
TLDR: You can triple jump with jetpacks by tapping the jump button twice and then holding it and it's actually pretty useful.
the quality of this video is really good and its very engaging. i would compare it to a game theory video and im very impressed. most videos on youtube are garbage now but its clear youve put a lot of effort into your work
Come back... its been a year...
I have to disagree with your take on jetpacks. I've completed The Skywalker Saga with my main free roam character being Jango Fett. I chose him because of course it's freaking Jango Fett, but also because he has jetpack + GRAPPLE. You don't realize how op this is. This combo allowed me to just skip most of the parkours that usually needs an acrobatic character to complete. Also the jetpack isn't as usless as you make it out to be. You definitelly can go higher than normal double jump but i must say the steering when you don't want to go in one direction is horrible. Nevertheless, I collected most of the 'suspended mid air' kyber bricks by just climbing a nearby rock or breakable crate and just flied up to it.
But shame on TT for not giving my boy R2D2 the abillity to fly.
tl;dr Jetpack + Grapple is op, R2D2 with no jetpack is *yoda death sound*
Also great video, can't wait for the least studs run.
Hope youre doing good, my man, great vid
I love the fact that this video begins as a simple lego star wars video and ends as a physics lesson
Removing the old Jetpacks and Astromech Booster, is just a reason for the player to pick Rey ...
Nah, just pick wicket
I feel like they made every character less fun than they could have been, and they tried to hard to make the characters feel near identical to other characters in the same class.
This guy called the sequels fanmade spinoffs he has earned my respect for that roast
Great video! Super entertaining ✌🏻✌🏻
I guess this channel is dead..
Man did so much research and spit so much facts about science and rocket power, just to say that the jet pack system in A LEGO game is bad. Mad respect ✊
the legend is finally back
There was a Kyber Brick on Cloud City "Dark Cloud" where you had to jump up on ledges, and a series of moving platforms then you walk along the wall and had to go around the pillars to reach the Kyber Brick. While Double Jumping can work if you time it right.
Instead of doing that I used a Boba Fett to get across each pillar to reach the Kyber Brick .
There were very few reasons to use any jetpack Lego Character. Infact its sad how an EWOK with a glider is 10x better than the Jetpack on a Bounty Hunter.
Jesus, man!
It's midnight, I just spent three hours playing No Man's Sky, and when "Supermoon" kicked in at 9:32 I straight up thought I was having auditory hallucinations!
Never seen this channel before, but 10/10 vid. Informative, well structured argument for game design, as well as a humorous take on it
“All six mainline films plus the three fan made spin-offs” You’ve earnt a sub just for that my man 😂
Counterpoint: boba and jango’s jet packs work just as well if not better than in the actual movies
This is a phenomenal video. I’m blown away.
the part right at the beginning when u called the sequals some fan spin offs was hilarious
I agree with your conclusion, but I wouldn't be so despairing about it. I bet they'll fix it! 😁👍🏻
While us players do complain about stuff like this we should still consider all the effort that was put into the game. Remember how it was delayed many times than it was almost cancelled. Its true that the devs overlooked MANY things in this game. But if you pay attention, there's alot of detail in areas that are actually pretty impressive. Maybe the game was rushed idk. But at least we have it. And it is undeniably a great game despite the depressing amount of glitches and shortcomings.
the funny part is dying as Boba and he sometimes goes "Don't tell me it was the jetpack again" knowing damn well it was
Great Video!
not done many kaiber bricks but i know there was one in mos espa where i used jedi and heroes to get up an area intended only for scavengers, then used a force push on the second player to send them all the way over a gap intended for gliding
"Re-telling the 6 main Movies, and the Recent Fan made spin-off ones"
He gotta do The Sequel Trilogy like that Lmao
I didn’t expect you would be a math expert but I am happy you are
What I expected: Game design video
What I Got: Knowledge about rocket science and chemistry
“3 recent fan-made spin-offs” I love this line
The retelling of the 6 main movies and 3 spin-offs 😂 that had me dying
i understand your gripe, and i felt the same thing at first, but it isn't a deal breaker. there's a very high amount of things I enjoy about the game.
I was definitely disappointed when I saw how gutted the jetpack was in this game but it was still a lifesaver in some moments, when combined with the grappling hook feature it made most puzzles in the game a very simple task. I feel the decision was fair however considering how quickly you can gain access to a jetpack character.
Only read the title and I can’t agree more
”All six main films plus the three fanmade spinoffs”
Hahahha so true 😂
Whats the source of the art used for the tt games “meticulously crafted design” skit from? It looks insanely cool
My dude used actual chemistry and mathematics to explain his Lego theory, this is absolutely impressive
You mention them not wanting people to shortcut certain lumber bricks with jet packs - but the amount of times I’ve shortcutted a scavenger climbing wall just by jumping on the geometry...
it's funny how this video is meant to be about Lego Star wars jet packs, but it's just about the science of Lego games
I definitely do agree that the Jetpacks are just not the same, being slow and no hover, which is super unfortunate. I did find one thing with them that allowed me to get to certain kyber and paths that others should, however.
If you double jump then use the Jetpack, since it pushes the character up, it'll technically act like a third jump and make all of the jetpack characters jump higher than any other character, giving it some extra, unintentional use lol. Prime example of using this is the kyber in the railings above the Hoth base. You're SUPPOSED to use the scavenger to glide to it, but I didn't have that yet, but the using the jetpack the way I did allowed me to get it instead
Thank you so much for this gem
“All the six mainline films. And the three resent fan made spin-offs” you said it my guy, you said it!
I love that little comment "fun retellings of all mainline films.. plus the three fan-made spinoffs." Exactly how I feel lol
Bro my chemistry degree came in handy in a Lego Star wars video what are the chances
I actually used Jango Fett for most of my time in free play because the jet pack is the best jump in the game. If you’re smart about it, you can definitely clear jumps that you normally can’t with any other character, since it’s the highest jump in the game. On top of that, I used it to get extra height or fly across gaps to reach grapple points early, there were times I’d be able to skip half a of a jumping puzzle just by cheesing grapple points with the extra jet pack height. If you can get a sprinting start you can get more momentum behind the jump and it’s basically the farthest jump in the game too (minus the glider). The jet pack seems like it sucks at first, but if you’re smart about it, it’s honestly pretty easy to cheese a lot of puzzles and can be used to get to places easier.
wow, incredibly detailed and super funny, good job bro. i have the complete saga, i love it and i kinda wanna get the skywalker series but its super expensive right now.
For real though, the reason the jet packs are gutted in this game is because of the character class system. Personally, I am a defender of the character classes in the game because previous Lego games had the flaw of many characters being borderline useless because there are characters with more abilities than everyone else and some characters with almost no abilities worth using. The character class system in LSS makes sure that each character is equally useful, at the cost of less abilities overall.
Back to the point, because they're putting characters like BB-8 into the same character class as R2D2, basic Stormtroopers in the same class as the flametroopers and Boba Fett and Bossk in the same class. It's either give BB8 and Bossk the ability to fly somehow or nerf/remove R2/Boba's ability to fly. Or, third option, make a new class for characters who can fly, but that'd come with its own set of issues like adding more Kyber Bricks for that skill tree, and even then, Scavenger's basically have it covered anyway.
Basically, while the jetpacks have been nerfed in this game, considering that the game was never built with it in mind, the fact that some characters even float is good enough.
I’ve used the jet pack for a ton of collectibles, you just have to master it, you can jump, then second jump, then hover to get a pretty substantial vertical jump, much higher than double jumping, came in handy for a lot of collectibles
I…I’m speechless. I came here to watch a critique of a video game that was missing a vital asset and it turned into an advanced science lesson. I am unexpectedly pleased.
This video is amazing haha so much professionalism for a simple LEGO problem that could’ve been solved if they’d only add a better flying mechanic haha awesome video
Free flight exists in literally almost every lego game since lego batman 2, and lego worlds had a jetpack better than this one so there is no excuse for them to not let us use jetpack flight indefinitely
This video took a turn i wasnt expecting lol
After so many Lego games where you can fly and still had effective and complex open areas, I was disappointed. Having flight puzzles on some of these planets on very high levels would’ve been really fun and we’ve seen it before.
