These games are really awesome, but I think they need to hire better play testers. The hint system is really bad. If I can get stuck so easily, what is going to happen to my girlfriend or my kid?

The split screen was in Lego Indy 2 as well. It makes the game waaaaay better, especially when you're playing with a kid that doesn't always know which way to go.

I'm not sure, but Dynamic Splitscreen seems like a pretty good name.

Although it started out terrible, I recently discovered that sometime between the beginning and now, the Clone Wars show became really good. I sort of think of it as a modern Batman Animated Series, in the sense that it's obviously aimed at children, with a lot of overly simplistic plots, but more often than not I'm entertained by it.

it never made sense to me how they just shoved Anakin having a padawon in there. It doesn't make any sense. Also did they just forget all about her in the movies? The whole Clones Wars stuff is just stupid on a whole.

I played the demo weeks ago, and I really like how there's more emphasis on controlling objects with the Force as opposed to the auto-assembly of past LSW games.

I've played all the Lego games and while I agree that Lego Indy 2 wasn't a high point, I have liked them all to varying degrees. This game can be pretty glitchy, at least on the 360, but the addition of the RTS elements totally makes it worth it for me. I'm surprised that they didn't mention it , though I guess they didn't go down that branch of the story.

If I were into Lego games or the Star Wars prequels, this'd be a must-buy. As is, there's just a bit too much else to play.

It was done to teach him responsibility.  Something happens to her before Episode III begins and it makes his situation worse..  I don't think it's that farfetched and the show itself has been about a hundred times better than all three of the prequels combined.

Hearing them talk about the game's opening scene with Jango Fett makes me wish this was a "real" Star Wars game and not done in Lego. I mean, that makes sense, right? You could just transplant all this stuff to be with actual characters instead of plastic dudes.

Not that I have anything against lego, mind you.

Sounded like Ryan was getting a bit frustrated with Brad there... I kept waiting for him to lose his shit. "THE PINK TARGET, BRAD! GODDAMMIT!"

I'm a little bit disappointed with this QL - I was really hoping to see some of the big battlefield/base building stuff from the videos TT has put out. Regardless, the last Lego game I played was Batman and MAN do the lighting, effects, and animation look way better.

I played the demo and it took me like 3 minutes just to figure out what to do in one of the parts I was stuck on, just like Brad and Ryan. This game seems more confusing then the other Lego Star Wars games I have played in the past. And by the way,  I think it would be more enjoyable if Lucasarts actually made better full fledged Star Wars games for once.

They mention the opening having hundreds of characters on-screen... How do you not show that? What's shown of the game looks pretty impressive, a nice surprise since I haven't been following the game much. It's cool to see that their playing around with an a played formula. I hear the game has some pseudo-RTS segments? I feel like that might warrant a second Quick Look.
