During the first half of the Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) chapter of the game, Princess Leia speaks with an English accent, but then shifts to an American accent by the time she escapes the Death Star.

Includes nearly 800 characters and ships, with 380 being playable (in the base game). Lucasfilm Games managing producer Craig Derrick said, "When choosing characters for a game this large, we just looked at every film in the saga and tried to say 'yes' as much as possible."
Features a revamped combat system. Lightsaber wielders utilize light and heavy attacks and Force moves, while blaster characters switch to over-the-shoulder point of view while aiming. Unlike previous LEGO games, enemy characters now have health bars with damage numbers labeled over their heads. Blaster combat also no longer automatically locks on to targets - like any shooter game, you shoot where you shoot.
