I will say right off the bat, this is not a difficult game. This is not hard or meant to be too challenging. If you are looking for something with more difficulty, the older LEGO games will be for you.

However, that being said.. this is the largest LEGO Star Wars game to date! The sheer amount of characters, missions and content to interact with, do and collect is staggering. Compared to previous games which had individual selections with their own missions, condensing each trilogy down to a series of 6-8 missions for each movie. This game has every single Star Wars movie/trilogy so far, and even characters from things like TV series' or extra content if you go for the character DLC. (Yes, even the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Disney sequels.)

There are over 200 characters to collect in the base game, many missions to do, and places to explore. Every planet in the game is a large free-roam map with multiple places to go, things to explore and people to talk to. They even have player and class upgrades and various boosts to buy with things you find! That being said, if you aren't too keen on doing side missions and the story content is what you're after, this game probably has the shortest story segments of any previous LEGO Star Wars game. Previously each trilogy had many individual missions based off of each movie, here, each "era"/movie of Star Wars has only 5 individual missions for each. All with varying lengths in what you are actually supposed to do. For example, The Phantom Menace, Attack Of The Clones and Revenge of the Sith all together are only 15 missions long.

If you are looking for a LEGO game with lengthy story content similar to the Complete Saga, and want to spend a good long while on lengthy missions enjoying the variety, this game may not be for you. The missions aren't exactly long compared to The Complete Saga, but they aren't so short they're breezed through in a few minutes either, there's just less of them.

However, if you want a LOT of stuff to do in a LEGO game, and the story bits don't concern you much, like Freeplay, then you will likely really love this. There are so many characters, new classes, different abilities, and new "perks" with different types of characters that.. it's honestly staggering. Not only that but the open world areas have so many hidden areas, collectibles and easter eggs that it's honestly great to roam around in! Hell, they even made characters never before seen playable as playable characters in this, such as pod racers like Sebulba, characters have multiple outfits like Jar Jar's senator outfit, and everyone has all updated appearances compared to the older models used in Classic LEGO! Not to mention the voice acting.

TLDR: If your here for the story and mission/level design, you may want to skip this one as it has less individual missions and less mission length then the past LEGO Star Wars games. But if you want a game with a massive sandbox to play as whomever you want from a massive cast of characters, you'll like this! The sheer amount of characters they've shoved into this game is.. staggering.
