Plan your next LEGO STAR WARS: The Force Awakens session
Our independent guide expands on the documented aspects of LEGO® STAR WARS™: The Force Awakens, offering observations and comparison points that help players understand the game’s roster, story additions, mechanics, co‑op setup, and platform flexibility without promising hidden shortcuts or undocumented rewards.
01 / THE GUIDE
Roster Personality Study
Play a short segment with Rey, then replay the same segment with Kylo Ren. Note differences in animation, voice lines, and LEGO jokes to see how each character’s personality is reflected in the brick‑built world.
- Notice how each character’s voice lines echo their film personality; the humor often hinges on those quirks.
- Keep an ear out for LEGO jokes tied to whichever hero you are playing at the time.
02 / THE GUIDE
Multi‑Build Path Comparison
In a level that offers multiple building choices, complete each path once. Record which route feels quicker and which reveals extra LEGO humor, highlighting the design’s branching intent.
- Watch for subtle LEGO references in the new scenes; they often nod to earlier Star Wars entries.
- The added beats can clarify motivations that seem abrupt in the movie, enriching the overall story.
03 / THE GUIDE
Blaster Battle Environment Test
During a Blaster Battle, try firing from behind a crate versus an open line of sight. Observe enemy reactions and damage outcomes to gauge how environmental cover influences combat.
- Try each Multi‑Build alternative in a level; some routes may expose extra LEGO jokes.
- During Blaster Battles, experiment with using nearby structures as cover to see how enemy behavior changes.
04 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Puzzle Coordination
Team up in split‑screen and assign one player to a character with a ranged ability and the other to a character with a building ability. Compare the time taken to solve a Multi‑Build puzzle versus solo play.
- Coordinate character abilities in co‑op to solve Multi‑Build puzzles more quickly.
- Observe how split‑screen humor differs between players; the jokes often appear on both halves of the screen.
05 / THE GUIDE
Remote Play Latency Check
Stream the game to a phone using Remote Play, then perform a simple Blaster Battle. Note any input lag and decide whether the phone or tablet provides a smoother experience for your setup.
- Enable Steam Cloud in the settings to keep progress when switching between a PC and a remote device.
- Remote Play Together works well for a friend who has a controller but no copy of the game.
