The Story Behind LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy
Lego Star Wars II was created by the British game developer Traveller's Tales. Assistant producer Jeff Gullet said that, in the game's recreation of a Return of the Jedi scene where Luke Skywalker "jumps off the plank... and somersaults onto the skiff", Skywalker "performs an all-out acrobatic routine with all sorts of jumps from the plank. Traveller's Tales looked to expand upon the concept of levels completed entirely in vehicles.
Lego Star Wars II was created for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Xbox, GameCube, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance (GBA), Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable (PSP), and Xbox 360. In response to complaints from fans, LucasArts and Traveller's Tales granted the ability to build bricks to all non-droid characters. Lego Star Wars II uses a modified Lego Star Wars engine.
