One of the nice things that they fixed from the SW games, is that you don’t have to be standing next to the other player to switch characters. You can switch from across the room now (necessary to beat many levels).

Excellent game. It will be interesting to see how Batman turns out. Not sure if I’ll let my kids play it, but I might check it out.

My mom saw the movie and HATED it, three waters, bombing, fights, just too over the top. She even thought Die Hard 4.0 (Live Free or Die Hard) was better!

Lucas did come up with the story, but he did not write it. In fact, it went through several re-writes (none of which were by him). He gave story points to Koepp who did the writing. You’ve confused the two, and there is a difference.

Also, I’m done commenting for today. I didn’t intend for this to become a flame war. Hopefully tomorrow we can get back to talking about bricks.

A tip for those just starting out (that I wish I had first time I played the Lego SW games) — buy the brick multiplier parcels before the other unlockables. (well, you’ll need to unlock an explosives guy and a “thugee” to make any secret parcels possible). Makes getting the millions of studs necessary to get all the secrets so much more bearable.

@Klint: Now that I think about it, I did too. At the end of “Trouble in the Sky,” I’d just activated the first flock of seagulls when I remembered I hadn’t done a scholar secret, so I left the screen. When I came back, the seagulls had reset themselves, but the counter hadn’t (I assume), so the level didn’t end even after setting off all three flocks. I had to start the level over, and then it worked fine.
