Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga Interview

YVG: Is all that really going to fit on one disk?

SS: Yes! One disk is what we're planning currently.

YVG: How many hours of gameplay is that, all in?

SS: It's hard to say. It all depends on what kind of gamer you are. Some people like to collect every single stud that's available in the levels - others like to play through as fast as they can. Your mileage may vary.

YVG: Were you surprised by the success of the Lego Star Wars series?

SS: You know, it's one of the things we talk about here: who would have thought it? Lego, and Star Wars, together? That's like chocolate and peanut butter. But once you sit back and analyze it, a lot of us had great experiences with Lego blocks as children, and then those same people were enthralled with Star Wars' imaginary world. It's surprising when you first think about it, but on further analysis it's more like, "Gee, why didn't we think of this sooner?"

YVG: So - where next for the series? Lego Star Wars II was, what, the third best selling game in the country last year?

SS: Yeah, something obscene like that.

You've done the two movie trilogies, and now you've put them together, so what are you going to do with this fantastic idea now?

SS: Well - that's actually what the brain tier here at Lucas Arts and Travelers' Tales are busy working on. We've got some ideas, but right now it's all very conceptual. It's much too early to comment, but we definitely want to continue the Lego humor, the fun, all-ages appeal, the pick-up-and-play nature, and the satisfaction people get from playing this endearing and fun game.
