If you liked this video, I also did every difference for Lego Star Wars 2: The Original Trilogy. Here it is: th-cam.com/video/wSACkdGv8p8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Y0GjgzO2Q7k9UnzB
I grew up playing the original version and this definitely made me realize that all over again!
I can't believe they call it The Complete Saga when it's missing the life-changing feature that is "Yoda Chair". Misleading advertisement!
@KatoenBruhI spent so long trying to find a secret door from the cantina that leads to dexters diner. I was convinced it would be there somewhere! 😂
Also they are missing The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and Skywalker Rises
3:21 Episode II of the original game has 5 levels instead of 6
@@stinhuffine4422in 2007?
TCS adds a new level as the beginning, which younger me was surprised to see because I remember the first level being Kamino and not Coruscant@@stinhuffine4422
What’s crazy is I played both as a kid and didn’t notice most of these difference. Except Yoda Chair. That one really stuck out.
Guess you could say the change didnt sit right with you.
Yoda’s Chair, and I was hoping for Dexter’s Diner instead of Jabba’s Palace
a year or two ago i was looking at tvg gameplay and was shocked at how different the 2 look
That one stuck with me because I did free play yoda in the final episode II mission, and when we transitioned to the arena against dooku yoda
Walked
So
Slowly.
Seriously it was like two minutes for him to walk his tiny tridactyl ass over to the fight. It was kind of hilarious. M
For real. I played the original with my older brother as a kid and didn't play the complete saga until i was in my late teens with my little brother. The original game looked like the complete saga to me as a kid. I didn't realize how dark Lego Star Wars 1 was until now. Probably the darkest lego game.
Padmé’s blaster sounds so much better in the original
yes, from the Episode 1
Ya it was idiosyncratic to Padme.
Yet they weren't able to give Padme's Battle Droid blaster the right sound throughout the first three LSW games... on top of making the Complete Saga Battle Droids' blasters of the same kind have that generic sound practically everyone else's blasters have, including Padme's.
When I was a kid I thought Padme’s blaster sounded like she was screaming or something..
they don't even get it right in the Clone Wars game or The Skywalker Saga :(
I'll never forgive them for scrapping the "Huh? Wah!" from those pilots. They deserved better than getting muted.
agreed
their screams are like music to my audio receptors
I remembered that though I was going insane but realised later on they removed it
I got a mod that fixed that.
the loss of yoda chair was a tragedy
Then a bigger tragedy happened in that every game after Complete Saga removed his epic death scream.
at least they kept his death sound
I think that the loss of the constant jumping was quite sad too. It was kind of hilarious to me. lol
Bigger than the tragedy of Darth plagueis
2:21
8:10 I still don’t understand why they changed it. The original silver pistol was way more accurate and she would’ve been the only character to shoot green laser bolts. The sound is also way more accurate and cooler. She still uses this pistol in the cutscenes in the CS game what makes the change even weirder
Yeah that’s a real unnecessary change
I think it was a lazy or rushed character port, like what happened with The Original Trilogy when you could unlock all the characters from the previous game if you had a file from it on your memory card.
I remember being so disappointed when everyone with a blaster just had the same blaster with the same sound effect and blaster bolt color... and even more disappointed when it was again overlooked or not a priority in The Complete Saga, yet at the same time they went to the trouble of giving the older characters melee attacks and projectile dodges with custom animations.
Maybe the developers thought it resembled a real gun too much? I agree the megaphone looks weird and clunky, but maybe there was a push to keep the weaponry cartoonish, like how toy guns have to have an orange tip on the end
@@devhands5338 Han Solo still has the revolver mold pistol.
In the film, they take their weapons from the battle droids before escaping Naboo. TCS version is more accurate.
The Sith version of Palpatine is called "Darth Sidious" in the original game, but "The Emperor" in the complete saga. He also now gains the ability to use force lightning, just like Count Dooku.
I mean it depends on which era before the end of the clone wars it's Darth Sidious after he's just The Emperor (or Emperor Palpatine) Sith or otherwise as Palpatine doesn't appear in the clone wars campaign in his Sith version there's no point to have him be called Darth Sidious in the complete saga but I am surprised he didn't mention it
@@Dovah_Slayer He did show up to meet with Count Dooku at the end of Episode II.
@@SeanWheeler100 oh yeah he did
One reason may have been that the original LSW actually released before revenge of the sith. I think to prevent a spoiler, maybe, is one reason why they used the sith name instead of equating him to the emperor ?
@@csharp3884 Hm, that could be. Though both Palpatine and Darth Sidious do have the same face in the game.
Darth Vader also uses Anakin’s animations in the original game.
spoilers!!!
They mentioned it on 5:29 hehe
Ah yes, the better anims
It says considered a variant he never told us he had anakins animations
Great work! Just a couple things: It’s not that the LSW1 sound effects are quieter in TCS’s prequel levels: most of them are just BROKEN. The level-specific sound effects weren’t coded correctly when porting the prequel levels to TCS, so they just fail to play. This is especially noticeable in the AOTC levels.
Also, I’m pretty sure auto-aim is still a thing in LSW1; it’s just that the Clone Troopers are all classified as a “good guy” in LSW1, so your shots don’t target them when playing as a “good guy”.
Other than that, great job on this! Keep up the great work!
Ya, there is still auto aim in LSW1, but it's less aggressive so you still have to be facing in the relative direction of a target. There was also no dodging for blaster characters as far as I remember. The game would be absurdly frustrating with literally no auto aim.
@@briansardinha5396 That makes sense! And yeah, there was no dodge in LSW1, just like there was no melee or building ability for blaster characters.
Bro the animation of Anakin going through the shoots looks so much better in the original!
Man I wish they’d make the video game more available to play. I have such nostalgia for it.
One note about the different Vent animations for small characters - in Lego Star Wars 1, Young Anakin & Boba Fett had unique animations of their own. Anakin would jump in & jump out of vents, whereas Boba Fett would dive in & roll out.
It's Short Access Not Vent, this is Lego not Among Us!
@@MarionBaggins I was calling them vents when the games came out man
@@halogeek3784 That’s OK, it's just now when I hear, read, watch someone say Vent, my SUSpicions are Tingling from Among Us...
@@MarionBaggins This game came out way before Among Us
@@jcoolguy1548 I know it did. By 13 Years
It feels so weird to see people experience these changes backwards as they grew up with The Complete Saga.
I can not properly express the joy me and my friends felt seeing the Prequel Levels updated with the newer mechanics introduced in The Original Trilogy.
Vehicles were now rideable.
Purple Studs were added to a few levels.
They made the podrace easier.
They added a 6th level to Episode 2 to make use of the newer vehicle stuff.
I am still sad though that Yoda lost his chair as they just reused his OT moveset. With Yoda looking identical, there wasn't a point in having separate versions.
people who grew up with the complete saga instead of the original games will truly never know the pain of the original podrace and republic gunship levels.
@@ReliableDiamondThug The original version of those levels are in The Complete Saga as bonus levels.
@@ReliableDiamondThugExcept they all do as those were in The Complete Saga as bonus levels.
@@TheFirstCurse1 but they aren't mandatory to beat the game, they are bonuses. it's a different experience when you are forced to play through them to get to another level.
@@SuperMarioMaker64 i am aware, i have 100% completed all 3 of these games many times. the level is a different experience when you MUST complete it in order to proceed to the next level.
Because LSW TVG was released before the screening of EPIII, soundtrack for the movie wasn't ready yet, so they used music from different episodes in ep III chapters. For example battle over coruscant uses battle of yavin theme. TCS fixed that.
What's even funnier, same thing happened to RotS game. It doesn't have a single track from episode that is based on.
i wonder why they were released so early lol these games spoiled the entirety of episode 3 to a lot of people i imagine
@@0DRONZER Not as much as you would think. First, tie in games were usually released before the accompanying media to drum up sales why they were still relevant, and in order to meet a deadline of before/close to the movie, they had to be developed during early production of the film. We also lived in a very different age for spoilers ( I talk like I was privy to this shit but I was 3 when the first game came out) where they were a lot less impactful, since franchises weren't booming like the MCU. Hell, I'm pretty sure I've seen 1980 news recordings of the Vader twist being shown in opening weekend box office reports. Back on the point though, Revenge of the Sith was at a time where spoilers were less problematic than they are today, and also had a very clear set of things to tackle as the last in release order but middle in chronological order; Anakin has to become a Sith and get injured beyond reasonable repair, the Clone Wars have to end, all the Jedi have to die, the clones have to start a transition to stormtroopers, the Empire has to become established, ect. If you told someone "the Emperor sends what will become the early ranks of the stormtroopers to kill all the Jedi and only Obi Wan and Yoda live (I know there's more survivors this is just an approximation of the time)", they wouldn't lose their mind on you, they'd think it made sense, with knowledge of the original trilogy and Attack of the Clones. Also, it does help that the game isn't a faithful retelling as a result; Revenge of the Sith is notorious for how drastically its deleted scenes affect the movie, and the tie ins including Lego were faithful to the original draft, leading to a lot of stuff that went unused from the film (sideways Invisible Hand, the disguised 501st at the temple) making it into adaptations, and stuff from the final film (Order 66, the Boga chase, Yoda vs Palpatine, Palpatine's arrest) was either scrapped or reworked (the Revenge of the Sith game only has Anakin and Obi Wan as playable so Order 66 is mainly shown through Anakin raiding the temple and getting kills on Jocasta Nu and Shaak Tii, and Palpatine's Arrest was Anakin vs Windu instead of Windu vs Palpatine), there's also some what if scenes in the RotS game like Anakin killing Obi Wan and Palpatine on Mustafar and becoming Emperor himself. TL;DR Games like Lego Star Wars and Revenge of the Sith were developed alongside the film's preproduction, and in order to release in a time of relevance, came out right near the movie. Spoilers weren't nearly as important as they were now, and Revenge of the Sith is a movie that had maybe the least impactful spoilers in the saga, counting the Disney films. A general plot synopsis was a pretty fair assumption to make at the time and the tie in games include content that was in the draft of thefilm and omit stuff that was in the final film.
I was a kid back then, and the Lego game releasing before Episode III was actually a huge selling point in the marketing in the gaming magazines. It was advertised like seeing the movie early, getting a sneak peak essentially.
As the other commenter said, "spoiler avoidance culture" wasn't as big of a thing as nowadays. When the last Harry Potter book released they even had all the big twists and character deaths in the local newspaper here because everybody was so hyped to know how the story would end.
I played through it again a few years ago and I was like “wait a second, is that Knights of the Old Republic music?”
I love that the stormtroopers in LSW1 have the clone trooper animation, implying that they're basically just phase 3 clone troopers
...which they're canonically not, which might be why TCS changed it
@@JohnySlama
Actually when the game was made they *were* "canonically" clones still
@@ugiustuskeiserus8066 i dont think they were, or at least no one really said they were. In fact, the biggest piece of evidence that theyre NOT clones is in a new hope, which shows all stormtroopers having different heights and voices.
@@JohnySlama Lucas said it in the episode 2 BTS. It was canon, and as far as George is concerned, it still is.
@@beyondthecamera333 bro did NOT seriously imply in the same breath that stuff said BEHIND THE SCENES is canon and that he knows what george lucas thinks 😂😂😂
Broski, lucas also pronounced the gungans as "goongas" in the BTS for phantom menace, are you implying thats the correct pronunciation? 😂😂😂
During the opening cutscene to the level Droid factory, Padme's hand clips through the doorbell in the complete saga. This is not present in the first game where It works as intended.
I was just thinking about that cutscene while reading comments. lol
Man, Lego Star Wars 1 looks so different looking at the footage side by side
It seems like this footage from lsw 1 is from a GameCube because it’s certainly better looking on the ps2 and pc ports especially with component cables or hdmi converters or on an emulator upscaled. The pc port looks the best, the graphics are on par with TCS, but TCS has more detailed textures and the shiny filter and a little better quality
It doesn't look all that different if you play both versions on PC, trust me
Lego Star Wars: The Video Game was one of the first games I ever played and always felt uniquely different than the Complete Saga. I was aware of a lot of these changes mentioned in this video, but I specifically remember Lego Star Wars: The Video Game feeling a lot more atmospheric and a lot "cozier" which might've been because of the softer textures and lighting.
Yes, this is exactly it! The Complete Saga is very much an improvement from LSW1 in a mechanical sense, but the atmosphere was so much better in the original.
The small, cozy Dexter’s Diner was perfect as the hub world, and its music amplifies the coziness by so much!
Then there’s the derpy looking character icons, which feel way more genuine than the icons in LSW2 and The Complete Saga.
Like, the Complete Saga is a way, way better way to experience the levels, but the atmosphere of the original is irreplaceable to me.
Agreed. I have so much nostalgia for the cozy vibes of the original game. Hell, even the box art of the original is just amazing.
same
One of the first games you ever played?!?!
Same here, I remember getting home from school and playing it on my ps2
6:13 This will always make the first game superior in my eyes. You simply cannot leave out their yells for the joke to land.
Hearing anakins whine whenever you lose the podrace will forever give me ptsd
Ikr, even worse considering that when I was a kid I was unable to beat vehicle levels
On of the differences that had me the most was that jango his jetpack wasn't infinite anymore in the complete saga
Jango also sinks immediately if you go for a pit instead of floating over it for a couple of seconds like in TCS. He was basically a glorified geonosian.
@@MrtheFckfacewait what what pit
@@venom-123 any area where you die instantly via falling. Jango just instantly sinks when going over it in the original.
The one thing I will never forgive the Complete Saga for is changing the Kamino disco room to free play.
In the original characters that can hover like Jango can do it forever but in the complete saga they can’t
the games make you stop floating after you move a certain distance, i think this is the same in both
@@0DRONZER I tested it. In the original, Jango can indeed hover around forever no matter how far you move until you press the jump button again or die from a ledge. He's also missing a double jump & hovers at a lower height compared to TCS.
Would’ve been cool if they kept this for Jango to help differentiate him more from Boba Fett (regarding game mechanics)
Using the force on stuff like lights to give studs used to make a _SHING_ sound effect that is now absent in LSWTCS
I know that exact sound effect you're talking about. If i remember correctly it remains in just one specific room of the Darth Maul level in TCS but nowhere else in the game.
Yoda chair being missing really is a crime, and imagine if they combined the hubworlds of the original 2 games to make it half mos eisley half dexters diner
Also, Jango Fett can hover infinitely in the original game, but can't cross gaps.
Agreed! I was always annoyed by that. Plus, Jango can't do regular jumps either. I'm so glad they fixed that for both Jango Fett and Boba Fett in Lego Star Wars II and The Complete Saga.
“The pistol was changed to a megaphone.” 😂
Truly, censorship is ruining gaming smh my head
Thank you for making this. I grew as a kid playing both of these games non-stop. I did notice a lot changes but not all. Thank you for giving me my nostalgia and freshening up my childhood memories. Means a lot.
13:42 this is a gamecube exclusive error
gamecube moment
I grew up with the original but totally felt like Complete Saga was off when I picked it up. This really helps to clear up some of my questions about that. I think I'll stick with the original, I like the sound effects better for the most part, though both seem to have their own pros and cons
Finally, acknowledgment of the removed screaming from Negotiations. I hate that The Complete Saga removed this because it was really funny especially with how abruptly cut off it gets.
@@unofficialmeme5972 WAAH-
Lego Star Wars 1 and 2 had so much character that the complete saga is missing.
It’s so crazy that I think I remember something feeling different when I played The Complete Saga but had no idea they were this different. One thing I did notice was the lack of some really cool/funny extras that were just in the original.
Your deadpan tone carries this video tbh
*Discovery on Kamino:* The music is missing in the disco room in TCS.
*Droid Factory:* The glass pipe in the second section, which would have a magnifying effect on your character, is replaced by a mesh cylinder.
*Battle Over Coruscant:* There’s a missing turret on the munificent class star frigate which you have to destroy its command bridge. You can still hear it firing tho.
*General differences:*
- You can no longer use the droid commander’s walkie-talkie to make security droids follow you in TCS.
- Jango Fett’s jetpack didn’t have a use limit back in the original game.
- In the original game, only force users could build things.
great video, but I would suggest mixing your audio levels so they're consistent between clips. Had to keep turning down my volume, but other than this was awesome!
Yeah, also cutting out the breathing in and pauses before you start.
15:03 My brother and I saw this cutscene so many times that it’s nostalgic to me now
The ending cutscene in Darth Vader is rather different from versions. Tbh I’m shocked you didn’t bring that up, it’s kinda striking.
The original ending plays in TCS if you complete it as Anakin
Great analysis! You should definitely do a follow up video with Lego Star Wars II
It blows my mind that I was able to even see the game to play it with how dark the original was and how dark my old tv was😂
Yes, you should do Lego Star Wars II next!
Another huge difference I know from memory is the cut-scene where Padme gives birth.
In the original, Obiwan is there with Padme patting her head and he holds the babies after they’re born.
In the Complete saga, Obiwan is just watching and the droid holds the babies.
Also Padme’s voice in the complete saga is a higher pitch than the original for some reason
They also lowered the pitch of many characters' gameplay voices in The Complete Saga.
@@pathogenofdecay thats only in the xbox 360 version i think
@@0DRONZERCan confirm
In the original game Episode III levels mostly has music from the original trilogy but in Complete Saga it has music from Episode III
In Negotiations the second protocol droid panel is prebuild in the original; however, in The Complete Sage you need to use the force to get the pieces to build yourself.
In the cutscene where padme is missing her blaster, you can also see anakin and obi wan missing their sabers in their hand as they float in the air behind them
Awesome comparison video. I definitely want to see a future video explaining the differences between Lego Star Wars 2 and The Complete Saga.
These two games gave me crazy Mandela effect as a kid, like playing one then the other and swearing something was different, like "i thought yoda had a hoverchair?"
"Mandela effect" is a term referring to a conspiracy theory. It doesn't mean what you think It means.
11:40 I think Obi-Wan's headset disappears after you played a certain level, both on the model and the icon.
Everyone is yappin' about Yoda Chair, but the original Short Character Chute animation is FIRE
This
I know they reused it for LEGO Batman on DS but I’m not sure what other LEGO games used it
9:31 no wonder I always thought the animation of the speeder popping in in TCS looked a bit snappy
I always swore I saw a naboo starfighter in a trailer for the original star wars game. My guess was it was a beta level that was eventually cut.
yea thats the anakins flight level, theres plenty of footage of it on youtube, you can also play it on the leaked prototype of the ps2 version
man so many noises from these games i couldnt name if you had a gun to my head but are also engrained in my very soul
If I remember correctly, In the original video game Jango can't use his jetpack to fly over most gaps that astromechs can. I could be wrong though.
I’m pretty sure you’re right. I remember being so annoyed at that (why have a jetpack if it doesn’t help fly over anything?). Glad they fixed in the sequels
Fun video! I was expecting mentions of things like for each level in TVG where they altered minikit locations/added red bricks for TCS, so maybe there's a potential future video idea there!
A lot of the things missing in complete saga can be chalked down to how much of that game is entirely from scratch. They didn't just stitch the two games together.
RIP yoda chair
You forgot being able to get into the pizza room in Ruin of The Jedi in story mode in the first game. Also the background music in all episode III levels changes between games. Good vid.
bro respect, this must of taken a lot of work to spot the differences
A minor detail that I remember is different is the opening space battle of Revenge of the Sith, if you are playing in solo you play as Obi Wan in the original and play as Anakin in the complete saga.
A couple of changes that weren't mentioned in the video that I haven't seen in the comments either are that the voices characters make when they are hit or die are weirdly pitched up sometimes in the original Lego Star Wars. I never hear anyone mention this. Obi-Wan's episode 3 variant also changes the groin piece to be orangish red instead of tan in the original. That one is especially odd because it makes it less accurate to the real life physical minifigure. There are a couple of other small changes like that with other characters
Weirdly enough, even that is inconsistent. The Xbox (version i grew up with) and Gamecube versions have the characters with higher pitched voices. But in the PS2 version, their voices sound normal. This blew my mind when I found out, because I originally thought the voice pitching was intentional, but now I'm wondering if it was a glitch.
yea in pc xbox and gamecube their voices are pitched up for some reason, same thing in the complete saga
@@0DRONZERsome other sound effects are lower pitched in the Xbox 360 version of TCS
@@barktrap yep
The only difference I remember between Lego Star Wars 2 and Complete Saga was the Beach Trooper. In Lego Star Wars 2, they wear speedos, while in the Complete Saga they also wear a shirt.
A few more: Gamorrean Guards only had 1 death sound and the Slave 1 in TCS was Jango's instead of Boba's.
someone should mod some of these changes back in to The Complete Saga
I think there was one last difference with the original one is that revenge of the sith ost was not added and instead was put the OT soundtrack since episode 3 just came out after this game but in the Complete saga they put the right soundtrack for revenge of the sith
I'm surprised he didn't mention it, as I found it to be the just obvious difference after graphics and the hub world
@@taku4625 it’s always been pretty crazy to me that Lego Star Wars is technically the original version of revenge of the sith, not the film lol
16:04 "My lightsaber no longer works, use walker i must now"
Lego Star Wars and LSW 2 were fundamental games to my childhood.
I remember being brought to tears by the podracing level during the timed parts of the tunnel. I was stuck on the gunship level for weeks. I never did figure out the jedi temple puzzle so i never got to play the anakin vs vader level. I was 7 years old.
Bro I was seven when I played the original too. Gunship cavalry was so friggin hard back then. And Ruins of the Jedi gave me a fair bit of trouble as well
These 2, Both Lego Indy Games and the OG Lego Batman were my Childhood Video Games!!!! (On PS2, I had more games these where my only on PS2)
@@343Films I hated this level, it took me months to get through it.
@@bluee._.diamond Interesting that Gunship Calvary was the level that gave you guys a hard time. When I first started playing this game the level that stumped me the longest was the Mos Espa Podrace. Funnily enough my dad beat it no problem.
Eventually I would beat the Podrace level 2 more times: the first to collect the remaining minikits, and the second in TCS as an adult.
one super obscure difference that i vividly remember is that of the statue of the lego figure in episode 1's third chapter. If you destroy it in the original game, the texture of its destroyed face is an angry one. in TCS, that angry face texture seems to be removed. Please verify!
3:21 and then Bounty Hunter Pursuit was cut from episode 2
Great video honestly. I’ve always been interested by differences in both games before the complete saga since there was a lot of stuff I liked from the video game version.
Also a note I noticed I’ve always liked how darker the video game version is, not sure why because in the complete saga everything is brighter and yes it does look good but just interesting colors are more muted and darker in the original game, just an interesting detail not sure if it was console limitations
The dance floor lasts forever in the original and only lasts for 30 seconds in the complete saga.
Battle droid blasters had a unique sound effect in the original.
The cutscene where padmé gives birth has obi wan next to her but I. The complete saga obi wan replaces c-3po
when you play anakins flight (the cut level from episode 1) his “woo hoo” celebration noise is freakin hilarious in the ending cutscene!
I honestly didn't believe there'd be THAT many changes when I saw this recommended to me. Great video!
I can just imagine some little kid who’s never actually watched Star Wars, but knows the characters being so confused when they saw that Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker.
Thank You!
I wish the newer games were as challenging as LSW:TVG. It made you feel accomplished.
Lego Star Wars: The Video Game was tied directly to how the Lego Figures looked at the time. This is why Obi-Wan in Attack of The Clones has an earpiece. This is also the first time we saw these characters with flesh colored skin rather than yellow. However, the Jedi in the Jedi Battle level are still yellow.
16:34 It made you feel like you were racing against the AI. IT WAS COOL!
The Emperor is called Darth Sidious, he also runs slower in the Original.
In Lego Batman: The Video Game, the bomber suit can lay bombs, obviously, but the beeping sound is not as rapid on the PS3 version, I think.... *Played on PS4 PSPlus*
PS2: BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP BOOOOM!
PS3: BEEP BEEP BEEP BOOOOM!
I get PTSD in the Original's versions of Gunship Calvalry and Mos Espa Podrace, and playing them in Complete Saga because I wanted to 100% the game, I somehow beat them all first-try
Gunship Cavalry is so easy. I hate what they did to vehicles in Lego SW II. They made those levels so tedious.
Ngl I don't miss the chair
It seems Jango Fett was able to throw bombs in his Lego Star Wars 2 appearance, but Dooku still didn't have force lightning.
13:49
Why does no one ever talk about or mention the error that Obi-Wan has a Green Lightsaber and Anakin has a Blue Lightsaber in the games? It should be the other way around. Anakin should have Green and Obi-Wan should have Blue
In the movie it was explained that they were given/borrowing lightsabers, while riding the Reek. (if you really want to get granular the Jedi are named Sephjet Josall and Nicanus Tassu).
@@expendableindigo9639 Yes but like I said, in the cutscene, Obi-Wan has a Green Lightsaber and Anakin has a Blue Lightsaber, but in both the film and in the level itself, Anakin has the Green and Obi-Wan has the Blue but in the cutscene, the lightsabers are swapped.
Actually, i think that is kinda random, since it depends on what character you finished the Windu section first (i think, i don't remember why exactly)
In case you don't know, the original versions of Pod Race and Gunship Cavalry are in the Complete Saga as separate bonus levels
I grew up playing the original version and this definitely made me realize that all over again!
10:50 in that room there are platforms you have to use the Force to, and they make a sound in the original but not in TCS
Gosh it brings back memories playing The Video Game demo and then the full game.
Another change was in the Anakin v Obi Wan battle, Anakin has a red lightsaber in the cutscene towards the end of the level
This is a great video, I never noticed how many differences and improvements were made in TCS. However I would like to mention the audio mixing in the video, as there were times were the voice over was too quiet and I'd have to raise the volume only to be blasted with star wars music and lego sounds right after. Otherwise great stuff keep it up
RIP Yoda's chair. I still remember my disappointment when playing TCS, getting to Kashyyyk level and realizing Yoda doesnt have his chair 😞
I can't believe how much of this I actually remember from the first game! I played The Complete Saga but I definitely played the originals with Dexter's Diner and everything first as a kid.
Definitely remember playing both versions but vividly remember the original version
the catina is way cooler in the original 2
Iirc, a number of soundtrack changes are also made, especially regarding Episode III, due to still being in production with LEGO Star Wars 1. I'd have to look it up to check
Episode I and II's "original" vehicle levels are playable in the bonus area, but lack any collectibles beyond the brick for completion. Episode III's vehicle level, however, allows for Free Play and sees much fewer changes.
The podrace was SO much better in the original game! I remember having to get my older brother to help me😂
I'm gonna be honest and it might be a hot take but I miss Dexter's Diner hub world SO MUCH. I liked the minikit area too I just love it a lot and I think it's underrated
One thing i didn't like in the change of games was how some characters lost their blaster color, blaster model and blaster sound.
Padme had a shiny revolver that had green bolts as a weapon and had a custom sound, Sam Weezel also had a shiny pistol and custom sounds.
Here's one:
When switching character in the complete saga, their name appears under their icon, but it the original it doesn't
yoda chair not being in a “complete” game is a war crime
I remember one detail. In the final duel between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader(Anakin) Vader has the red lightsaber in the final scene despite being blue the whole level in the original game and they changed it to blue in the Complete Saga.
I miss Dexter's Diner :(
I'm glad that I got to experience the first two games as a kid and later the Complete Saga. Life was so much easier then.
You forgot one that I was hoping you would cover. When you defeat Obi Wan as Anakin in Darth Vader level, an extended cutscene will play. If you look close at Anakin's saber, it's red in The Video Game, whereas it's blue in Complete Saga.
@ZmansEdits it's red because it's an oversight. It is most likely a left-over cutscene from an earlier version that was using one of the old movie scripts for Episode 3. Originally, an earlier rendition of EP3 has Anakin obtain his red lightsaber from Darth Sidious after he becomes his apprentice (the same lightsaber Vader uses in the OT), however George Lucas cut it out of the script (probably because he realized that Obi-Wan has to aquire Anakin's old lightsaber somehow, so he can give it to Luke in Episode 4)
In Lego Star Wars, Kit Fisto has a white undertunic, while in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, it's brown.
(Fisto's torso piece is reused from Obi-Wan's Episode III version, but the original Lego Star Wars slightly altered it)
Great video! I played both but never noticed most of those. A few that I did notice which weren't mentioned are:
The final area of gunship cavalry had a much more zoomed-in camera making it almost 1st person
The Grievous level used the battle of Yavin music
No stud multipliers or gold bricks
Other characters were not playable like Watto, Lama Su, Pit Droid etc.
In the cutscene where Anakin falls in the lava he is seen with a red lightsaber
My favourite was a glitch in 3:3, General Grievous. In the original, When Grievous first jumps up off the main battle field you follow him and shoot him with Cody. After he jumps back down, you can stay up there, swap to Kenobi to use the Force on the bomb to move it where Grievous will be and shoot it. Next time Grievous jumps up, he will be damaged by the bomb that has already been detonated and jump back down
The Kashyyyk clones being 501st makes sense. The game was developed around the same time as SWBF2 and the campaign has the 501st visit Kashyyyk. I know it's not cannon anymore, but it was a nice feature I think.
100% would love to see the same for lego star wars 2
