Sequel keyed to the original trilogy, the famous one. Longer, more varied, more generous and still wonderfully accessible. Couch co-op still royal, LEGO humour nicely measured. Arguably the best LEGO Star Wars of the GameCube era.

LEGO Star Wars II replays the original trilogy entirely in bricks: characters, ships and settings rebuilt in colorful plastic, with an irresistible silent visual humor. The aesthetic blends Star Wars nostalgia with the good-natured charm of LEGO figures, every explosion scattering into loose pieces. A playful, warm art direction, perfect for all ages.
John Williams's immortal scores, drawn from the original trilogy, wrap every level in an irresistible epic gust. Carefully reprised, they lend the LEGO gags a delightful nobility. This contrast between symphonic grandeur and offbeat levity keeps all its charm.
The NTSC edition of LEGO Star Wars II The Original Trilogy is the American version of the Traveller's Tales/LucasArts game. Its collector value comes from the fact that the LEGO franchise on GameCube ended with this installment and that the GC version remains the game's initial release before the modern ports.
Is LEGO Star Wars II - The Original Trilogy still worth playing in 2026?
A very successful LEGO adaptation of the original Star Wars trilogy by Traveller's Tales, LEGO Star Wars II offers two player cooperative action accessible to all ages with constant visual humour. The LEGO construction, the many unlockable characters and the playful faithfulness to the films create a particularly successful experience. Visually still very readable, the title remains one of the best gateways to the LEGO formula and an excellent family cooperative game for anyone who has never touched the series before today.
