(Why do you think the Lucasverse is populated almost entirely by aliens and robots?) But a Lego Luke looks no more like Mark Hamill than it resembles Macauley Culkin. Ergo the original actors have almost no standing to sue Lucasfilms for license fees.

These games are, aside from the late lamented <I>Star Wars Tales</I> comic book, the only infusion of humor, fun, and whimsy into the <I>Star Wars</I> universe in the past ten or fifteen years: the regular comics and novels are oh-so-serious and seem to forget that the original trilogy had us laughing out loud in excitement, amusement and wonder. Nobody's mistaking the deviations and plot developments in these for the real time: they're just plain fun. As I said in my review of the game a couple weeks ago, we've only ever <I>heard</I> that Wookiees pull your arms out of your sockets when they're unhappy. Now, thanks to <I>Lego Star Wars</I> we can actually <I>do</I> that. And as it's just bits of virtual plastic, there's no shame over taking delight in gore or violence.Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11708103213119467419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-53313971930205198282006-09-28T04:26:00.000-07:002006-09-28T04:26:00.000-07:00I guess.

The developers have a good sense of humor and it seems like a lot of fun, especially when compared to waiting for a copy of the original, unretouched films on DVD.Tom Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14687197035697070309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-33628551572050466792006-09-28T04:17:00.000-07:002006-09-28T04:17:00.000-07:00So instead of actually playing with toys, you pret...So instead of actually playing with toys, you pretend to?
