LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga for Nintendo Wii
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga for Nintendo Wii tells the events of Episodes I to VI as an action adventure made from bricks. You travel from the negotiations aboard the Trade Federation ship to the battle around Endor. Along the way you switch between Jedi, droids, blaster users and other familiar figures. The films receive a comic interpretation without lengthy spoken dialogue, with expressions and unexpected building jokes carrying much of the story.
The missions combine fighting, jumping and puzzles requiring particular abilities. A Jedi moves parts with the Force, while a droid can open a different door. Switching characters helps you discover how an area fits together. Alongside sections on foot are vehicle missions. You collect studs and hidden parts, and can revisit completed levels with a wider choice of figures to reach places that were previously closed off.
You can play alone or cooperate with two players on the same Nintendo Wii. A second controller lets someone join the adventure; no special accessories or real LEGO figures are needed. The shared route does require you to take each other's position on screen into account. This edition brings together the first six films, with revised levels and extra challenges. The later film trilogy and the new gameplay structure of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga do not belong to this Nintendo Wii game. Each player uses a Wii Remote with a Nunchuk, so playing together requires two of these sets.
Region and language
Our Nintendo Wii games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga for Nintendo Wii includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga arrived in 2007, developed by Traveller's Tales and published by LucasArts. It built on LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game from 2005 and LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy from 2006. The first game covered the prequels, the second the original film trilogy. The Complete Saga combined those two storylines during the year Star Wars celebrated its thirtieth anniversary, with Nintendo Wii among its original platforms.
The collection involved more than putting two older games back to back. The developer adapted elements of the first game to the possibilities of the second. Vehicle missions were revised, for example, and characters from the different trilogies could be used together. New missions and challenges also expanded the collection. The brick-building formula consequently became a more coherent whole, with the same set of abilities recurring through the six film stories without having to launch each episode separately.
This edition shows an early stage of LEGO adventure games. The humour relies on animation and gestures, while puzzles and cooperation link the familiar films. Later entries added spoken dialogue, larger areas and different forms of combat. Here, the name Complete Saga refers to the six films that existed at the time. It is not an edition of the later game covering nine films, but the original Nintendo Wii adventure that combined and revised the first two LEGO Star Wars games.
Similar games for Nintendo Wii
LEGO Indiana Jones 2 on Nintendo Wii likewise lets two players relive familiar films. The whip and human tools replace the Force and droids there. Its splitting screen and level builder give the sequel its own possibilities. The Complete Saga places more emphasis on revisiting six film stories with different character abilities.
LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures on Nintendo Wii follows the same early formula of film jokes, building and local cooperation. The three older Indiana Jones films supply earthly temples and treasures instead of spaceships. The Complete Saga offers six Star Wars films and lets you solve puzzles with a wider variety of science-fiction abilities.
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 also uses characters with distinct abilities and local two-player cooperation on Nintendo Wii. Spells and school lessons replace the Force and droids. The Complete Saga covers six films and alternates adventures on foot with vehicles. Harry Potter keeps the discovery of Hogwarts as a recurring setting much more central to the course of its four stories.
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game likewise lets you replay familiar film events and search for hidden building items on Nintendo Wii. The first four pirate films provide ships, islands and sword fights. The Complete Saga tells six Star Wars films and uses the Force, droids and spaceships. Both make character choices important, but their abilities and changing settings come from very different adventures.
LEGO Batman: The Videogame also combines building puzzles, combat and humour without long conversations on Nintendo Wii. Batman and Robin use special suits, while villains receive their own story levels. The Complete Saga draws on six existing films and alternates Jedi, shooters and droids. Both reward returning with other characters, but Batman explicitly also lets you play from the opponents’ side.
