lieselstarwarsgamesI think we’re ending the movie now, but there’s a possibility that we aren’t, so let’s just see what happens.
We have a new opening crawl that details Padme returning to Naboo and forming the alliance with the Gungans, as well as how Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan fought the “mysterious, pointy Sith” Darth Maul. Once that’s done, we’re back in control of Jar Jar. We can also play Captain Tarpals now, who seems to be faster than Jar Jar.
As soon as we reach the sacred place, we hear a Gungan shout “Yoohoo, meesa needen help over here!” Let me guess, we’re the only ones who can help him.
Yup, there are boomas missing and for some reason Jar Jar is the only one who can look for them. Come on, why wouldn’t anyone trust Jar Jar to go looking for explosives? They’re in boxes scattered around the lake – oh, and when Tarpals walks too far into the lake and falls apart, he says “Whatsen dat? Meesa no do dat agains.” Yeah, dying and respawning can be weird, can’t it?
Of course, once we find the boomas, Jar Jar says “Times for a well earnin resten” as if the whole battle is over. Am I the only one who thinks Boss Nass made him a general in hopes that he’d die in battle? Am I being too morbid?
Anyway, we get a cutscene of the Gungans activating their shield and Jar Jar’s so amazed by it. The general’s got no idea what their battle strategy is, hmmm. There’s also a guy mowing the grass who gets frightened off by the droid carriers because Lego is full of random humor like that.
We’ve got to load the catapults - but first, get this, the Gungans can destroy their own battle equipment for studs. Now, I’m no war expert, but it seems to be that destroying your own equipment isn’t a very smart battle strategy.
Oh, and how do we load the catapults? By getting on top of the boomas and rolling on them like circus performers, of course.
Once the catapults are loaded, the battle droids start invading the shield and it’s time to whack ‘em while they make comments like “Gungans are weird.” Eventually they break the catapults and Jar Jar gets an idea to “smush dem all together to make one big catapult.” Of course that idea will work – this is a Lego game, meaning anything can be built into anything!
Tarpals comments that our new masterpiece is “one cwazy catapult” and Jar Jar replies, “Meesa hopin so.” So, Jar Jar was hoping we’d end up with a crazy catapult. Methinks someone needs to educate this guy about war.
Battle droids start attacking by the hundreds, so now we’ve got to use our crazy catapult to bring them down. We’ve got to destroy a certain number of droid carriers and a certain number of droids, but of course once we reach the quota, the shield goes down and Jar Jar surrenders.
Now that our oh-so-brave general has surrendered, what hope is there for the Gungans now? Oh right, Anakin’s still up there. Let’s check on him, why don’t we?
After R2 disables the autopilot, Anakin declares that he’s going to obey Qui-Gon and stay in the cockpit and then it’s battle time. And FUCK, we’ve got asinine reverse Y-axis controls. Great, up is down and down is up, I hate that.
There isn’t a whole lot to say about this section – you fly around and blow shit up, then you fly inside the droid control ship and blow more shit up. It actually is more fun than it sounds, even with the awful reverse Y-axis controls.
We’ve destroyed the droid control ship, so now it’s time for the grand finale. We don’t see Qui-Gon’s funeral here – instead Anakin asks Obi-Wan at the Gungan celebration what will happen to him now. The kid’s all sad, holding a picture of Qui-Gon – until Obi-Wan says he’s been given permission to train Anakin, then he tosses the picture aside with a “Yippie!” Hmm, is that a hint of the dark side growing in him?
Also, Padme flinches away from Palpatine when he tells her that they’ll bring peace to the galaxy together. Yeah Padme, you might should act on those instincts.
Well, there’s peace between the Gungans and the Naboo and the invasion has been thwarted, we have a happy ending . . . for now.
I’ll see you for Attack of the Clones!
