LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a video game developed Traveller's Tales that was released on June 28, 2016. The game adapts the events of the 2015 film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens in LEGO form, and includes exclusive content that bridges the story gap between Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. A deluxe edition version of the game, which includes all season pass content, is also available. This is the first installment of the main Lego Star Wars game series not to have been published by LucasArts, due to that company's dissolution.

Description
Much like Lego Star Wars: The Video Game and Lego Star Wars: The Original Trilogy before it, the game is a humorous take on the film which it is based. However, unlike the previous games, the characters have full spoken dialogue, some of which is archived recordings of that from the films, while new dialogue is provided in the game-exclusive content. Several of the film's original actors, including Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Anthony Daniels provide the new dialogue for their respective characters.

The gold bricks which require a rapid-firing character to destroy, as well as the ability to command troops from Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars return, as does the ability to travel to different planets.

The game is the first LEGO game to introduce Multi-Builds, where players can use available bricks to build new paths, and Blaster Battles, where players can use their surroundings to fight back against the First Order. In addition enemies can now build, allowing stormtroopers to support each other with reinforcements, air strikes, and heavy artillery, adding another layer of danger to the game.

The fighter-based levels have also been redesigned, and are very similar to those of the Star Wars: Rogue Squadron series, in which the ships can move in all directions in a large, open environment, rather than being constrained to movement on a horizontal plane as with previous games.

The game has a total of six additional unlockable missions. One mission explains how C-3PO got his new red arm, while another will show how the rathtars were captured and brought to Han Solo’s ship. The new levels have a basis in Star Wars canon according to the game's staff.

The season pass includes exclusive characters and three new levels: Poe's Quest for Survival, First Order Siege of Takodana, and Escape from Starkiller Base.
