LEGO Star Wars the Force Awakens Video Game Coming 6/28/16

A whole game for one movie? I am used to 3-6 movies in a Lego game. Wonder how they will do this. I feel like I should just wait and buy the ep 7-9 game when it comes out or the inevitable ep 1-9 game that will 100% for sure come out.

The backgrounds look more realistic.  I enjoy the lego games from TT games.

They did a whole game just for the LEGO Movie and that worked out pretty well, game was fun and endearing though admittedly shorter than most other LEGO games (in that it had fewer levels and less bonus content and stuff to do). 

Guess we'll be seeing a new LEGO game for every Star Wars release now, which is a shame, but if they do it well could still be fine.

Worst one was when they did the LEGO Hobbit game, only included the first two movies with the third meant to be DLC. only they never bothered making it - so the game is still incomplete.

Be sure to look out for the potential GameStop promotion. That Silver Centurion Iron Man is looking like it's going to be difficult to get multiples of for those that didn't preorder. If you want the FN-2187 polybag, jump on it.

Yep and the Lego Movie game was not even worth the $25 I spent on it it was so short and easy. I can't imagine the people that paid $60 for it. The Lego Hobbit game was easily the worst of them all. I couldn't even finish it. I used to love these games and buy and enjoy them all but I think I may just be done with them. They are heading towards a direction I do not enjoy anymore. Of course I am not the type of person that likes reality TV or pop music or fast food of football either so I am aware that I am like no company out there's demographic.

This game is going to be rather weird since most likely you are not going to have access to Jedi and/or lightsaber until the middle of the game for good guys.  I doubt you get access to Kylo Ren in the beginning of the game.  For comparison, on ep 4-6 game we got Obi Wan pretty early in chapter 2 of movie 4.  On ep 1-3 game, both Qui-Gon and young Obi Wan were on chapter 1 movie 1.  In Clone Wars, you could not turn around without bumping to a Jedi

I'm going to throw out some speculation here. I think at the beginning of the game, you get some levels from prior Star Wars movies. This would help to increase the amount of content and allow earlier access to lightsabers, droids, and short characters.

Yeah they have to borrow a lot of things from previous episodes.

The other thing TFA lacks is variety of vehicles.  Even in New Hope, we got X-Wing, Y-Wing, and MF on the light side.  TFA only offers 2 colors of X-Wing and MF

I think it's going to really boost sales of sets like 75105 and others that are shown in game. 

Those graphics are amazing though. They look just like the movie with Lego models substituting the vehicles, characters, and some buildings. Can't wait to pre-order two copies of the game (one to play on the PC, and another for 3DS just for the polybag, since it's cheaper). This is gonna be a fun game!

EDIT: Nvm about pre-ordering the copies, guess I'll just settle in for a PS4 preorder, then exchange the game for a PC version since I'm PC. And I still get the polybag .

I added information that has become available since I originally created the article.

It is here!  The first gameplay reveal trailer...

Looks pretty good. Glad they are still making games for PS3. Interesting they are going into the backstory on some of the storylines not seen in the movie.  

It is a bummer I don't have PS4 or Xbox One to preorder so I can get FN-2187.

Looking forward to this - It appears that they changed up the gameplay a bit.

My son will flip when he gets to fight around a Star Destroyer.  He loved docking with the Republic Cruisers in "The Clone Wars" game.

They'll let you pre-order as many as you want.

Wait whaat?  No Classic Wii option ?

So you can choose your build huh? Interesting

We had fun with this game on our PS4... but now thinking about selling it / trading it in... any reason I should NOT do this?  I remember when it came out, there was something about the "gold edition" ... possible future expansions to the game... etc? Does that ever really happen?
