    Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy is a 2006 action-adventure video game created for the PC, Xbox, GameCube, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, and Xbox 360. It was based on the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas and the Star Wars-themed toy line created by the Lego Group. Its gameplay is similar to that of its predecessor, Lego Star Wars: The Video Game. Lego Star Wars II 's levels cover the events of Star Wars episodes A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi, which are collectively known as the original trilogy; whereas Lego Star Wars 's levels covered the events of episodes The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith, which are collectively known as the prequel trilogy. The game has over 50 playable characters taken from the films; the player can also create customized characters.

    Lego Star Wars II was developed by Traveller's Tales and published by TT Games and LucasArts. It was formally announced at American International Toy Fair 2006. Lego Star Wars had been critically and commercially successful, causing Lego Star Wars II to be highly anticipated. Improvements were made from Lego Star Wars 's gameplay.

    Lego Star Wars II was released in North America, Europe, Australia, and Japan between September and November 2006. It was successful commercially and became the third-highest selling of 2006. Reviewers praised the game for its "adorable" and humorous portrayal of the original trilogy and for their preference of the original trilogy to the prequel trilogy, gave mixed comments to its relatively low difficulty, and criticized the Game Boy Advance and DS versions. The game won numerous awards from sources such as IGN and BAFTA Video Game Awards. On November 6, 2007, a compilation, Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga was released. It retained the gameplay of Lego Star Wars II and allowed players to play through the levels of both Lego Star Wars and Lego Star Wars II.
