In 2005, Lego Star Wars: The Video Game released. Based on the prequel trilogy of Star Wars movies, this game was in production before the third movie (Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith) was actually released, meaning that the levels created around Episode III have some elements that were unused in the final product of the film.
A key part of Lego games are their character rosters, as in, the characters you can play as in the game. In the Video Game, there are a grand total of 56 characters to play as. 25 of these are unlocked as you play the game, 31 are only available after you buy them. There are 37 unique characters, as many characters have multiple iterations, an example being Obi-Wan Kenobi (padawan) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Episode III). These, in the roster, are two separate characters, despite both being alternate forms of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
The different versions of characters are fun to unlock, despite mostly playing the same (Obi-Wan Padawan and Obi-Wan Episode III have the exact same abilities, the only difference is their little Lego appearances. The only exception to this rule is adult characters with a child version, such as Anakin, because Anakin Skywalker (Boy) has no weapons and can use crawl spaces, but the other Anakin Skywalkers have weapons and cannot use crawl spaces)
Despite being the main character of the films and, technically, the game, Anakin Skywalker only has 4 alternate versions, these being Boy, Padawan, Jedi, and Darth Vader. The character with the most iterations, perhaps unsurprisingly, is Padmé, with 5 versions (if one includes Queen Amidala, which this one does). Although, theoretically, a case could be made for Jango Fett having the most versions, since there are 9 unlockable clones and all of the clones are clones of Jango Fett. Or, you could make a case for there being 10 unlockable clones, if you include Jango Fett as a clone, since all a clone really is is a repeated DNA structure and therefore, as the original DNA structure, Jango Fett himself, in making clones, is a clone.
There are 13 unlockable droids. Battle Droid, Battle Droid (commander), Battle Droid (Geonosis), Battle Droid (Security), C-3PO, Droideka, Gonk Droid, Grievous’ Bodyguard (known commonly nowadays as Magna Guards and yes, I had to look up whether or not they were robots, it’s a bit hard to tell if they’re people or not when they are Legos, whoops), PK Droid, R2-D2, R4-P17, Super Battle Droid, and TC-14. My personal favourite is R4-P17. I feel really bad for R4-P17.
This first Lego game is unique in that it has a bunch of Jedi. There are 12 different Force-users (18, if you count alts). Many of the levels take advantage of this by having box-lifting puzzles (as in, you and a friend (the CPU counts as a friend) both stand on a box and levitate each other), because most of the games have at least two Jedi in each scene. Especially in Episode I, where Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are the duo we follow through the story, but also in Episode II, where Anakin and Obi-Wan are the duo we follow through the story. And, in Episode III, you play as a lot of the other Jedi, teaming up with Obi-Wan. You play a lot as Obi-Wan, if what I’m getting at, and it’s weird that he only has 3 versions. I understand that it’s because Obi-Wan only wears 3 different outfits in the films, I get it I do, but you have an Obi-Wan in nearly every level.
My favourite Jedi to play as was Qui-Gon :)
In 2006, Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy was released. The movies, having been released 30ish years before, were completed, so this game relates the story pretty accurately. The only difference is in a few levels where characters would be where they weren’t supposed to be, such as Yoda being in the cave with Luke when he confronts imaginary Vader. Both games, of course, add things to the levels that weren’t in the movies, but they are more notable in this game, as this one was based on movies that had far fewer scenes with multiple characters on screen at a time.
(In the first game, they added R4 to the scene where Obi-Wan is on Kamino, despite Obi-Wan being alone in the movie. In the second game, they had this happen more often. Like Leia being with someone in the first level, or Obi-Wan being with Luke sooner on Tatooine, etc. There were a lot more scenes where Luke would do something alone, in comparison to the prequel trilogy, which almost always had at least two characters on screen at a time (they worked as pairs))
In The Original Trilogy, there is a grand total of 114 characters. However, 46 of these characters are gained via having played the first game on the system before. These 46 characters are prequel characters, in other words, with only doubles excluded (so we don’t have two C-3POs, for example).
Excluding backwards compatibility, there are a total of 68 characters. 29 of these characters are unlocked over the course of regular gameplay, the remaining 39 have to be purchased. There are 45 (ish) unique characters to play as, the rest being alternate versions of characters.
There’s a lot more difference between character iterations than in the first game. For example, the majority of Luke Skywalkers can’t use the Force, instead having a blaster. There’s also that Luke and Han, in their Stormtrooper alts, can unlock doors only openable by Stormtroopers. Leia, in her Boussh disguise, can open bounty hunter doors. There are three ghost characters, Ben, Anakin, and Yoda, and these characters are unique in that they are invisible to the enemy and also invulnerable.
One thing added in this game are, as vaguely mentioned before, doors that are only openable with specific character types, such as Stormtroopers and bounty hunters. My favourite part of this is that both Darth Vader and the Emperor can open Stormtrooper doors. Darth Vader does a little animation where he crosses his arms and taps his foot impatiently, it’s very cute (Palpatine does an animation too, but I forgot what it was, oops, I played as Vader a lot). There are also hat dispensers, so Chewbacca can have a Stormtrooper helmet (balanced precariously on his head) and get into Stormtrooper rooms.
This game is unique in that there are only really 5 droids (we aren’t counting backwards compatibility here). There are 7 bounty hunters. There are 6 characters who have “trooper” in their name. So, unlike the first game, there’s a character whose alts outnumber the droids, the bounty hunters, and every other character.
Luke Skywalker has 8 versions, which is more than any other singular character (unless you count Jango, in the first game, but even if you do count Jango, Luke is pretty close to his record). There’s Bespin, Dagobah, Endor, Jedi, Pilot, Stormtrooper, Tatooine, and Hoth. Leia is a close second, with 7 alts, but Luke is the undisputed champion of the alts.
In other words, Luke really is a lot like his mom :)

To honor May the 4th, here are various screenshots I took with Print Screen while playing LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga.
I feel like I was late to discover the game, but I enjoyed it nonetheless when I was younger. I have a physical disc for the PC version, which took longer to release than the console versions. It’s part of something called “Games for Windows” and has the Windows Vista logo, though it can run on that or Windows XP SP 2. It still works on Windows 10 so long as you have a drive that can read it (my computer doesn’t have an internal one, but I do have an external Blu-ray burner that I use to play PC games I have on DVD-ROMs and CD-ROMs.).
In the top one, I have Boba Fett and a MagnaGuard (just called Grievous Bodyguard), which are like Jango Fett and Grievous himself, respectively, just with less end lag after attacks.
In the next one down, I threw Jar Jar and Revenge of the Sith Anakin into the pit in the Bounty Hunter Mission area, which thankfully doesn’t cost any studs. In my opinion, in TT Games’ LEGO video games following the formula they invented for LEGO Star Wars, death pits are the worst way to die because you can’t possibly get your studs back.
The next one down showcases an issue with my installation that’s probably due to the disc not being in the best of condition. The issue is Grievous T-posing and sliding.
The next one down after that is an army following Obi-Wan as a Force ghost. I joked that it was my army, but it really wasn’t.
Finally, I have a screenshot of two of three astromech droids in the game (R2-D2 and R4-P17) and Jango Fett and Boba Fett.

When Anakin Skywalker suddenly finds himself punted into a strange dimension, he's faced with not just the hard task of finding his way back. Especially when his Master, or rather, the younger, mullet-wearing version of his Master, gets thrown into the same place.
