Token Female Gamer

Legos are quite the event at our house. For my husband it’s the hobby of choice, second only to computer games. Put Star Wars and Lego together, you get a veritable orgy of giddy joy.

Most of the lego-gasm results now decorate our house, the easiest (and safest) place to keep them being the top of shelves. Sharing the Lego love seemed like a good follow-up the Lego Star Wars Game Review.

It might be apparent that all of the sets we have are old school Star Wars only. The banning of episode 1-3 runs even to Lego. Although its not something I am going to argue with, since we are seriously running out of display room. In fact my husband has relegated the unfinished (super huge) Millennium Falcon set to the garage, because we have no place to put it.

I’m limiting the pictures to Star Wars sets only (and not even all of them!) Maybe at this winter I can convince my husband to set up the Lego trains.

Yeah we love Legos here!

ps. Ignore the dust!

The original Lego Star Wars came out over four years ago. It was such a success, loved by critics and fans alike, that it spawned a bevy of similar games based on a variety of Lego licenses.

I never got to play the Original game. Its successors on the other hand, have gotten quite a workout.

If the first movie was an aphrodisiac, then this sequel is laughing gas – riding high while laughing all the way.

It’s definitely a solid addition to the franchise and ultimately reminded me more of the TV show then its predecessor. Lot more humor, big action, and Optimus starting and ending the movie with his usual monologue.

Plot wise there are holes the size of Bumblebee, but I attribute those to authenticity and filled in the blanks myself. =)

In fact there quite a few of the plot lines reminded me of the first movie and I am tempted to say they just added material to the first script, but the run time for each movie is the same. I think its more likely that this was a previous version of the first movie script that got a bunch of extras added to it.

This review is long overdue and is now being rushed out in honor of the sequel (which I hope to go see in the theater soon!) It is also dedicated to my friend Pat, who is horrified by the fact that I love this movie (and will NOT let me forget it!)

I saw this both in the theater and on DVD (which I own and have watched multiple times). The full wall-to-wall screen is by far the more exciting experience, but watching it in the privacy of my own home is vastly more comfortable. =D
