The opening prologue, for example, takes place during the Battle of Endor at the end of Return of the Jedi. While it may sound like a small number, the stages are quite vast and expansive, and are not always limited to the one location or to the same group of characters. The main story is made up of ten stages, with a prologue and an epilogue on either end of the sequence. While some may be turned off by the easier difficulty, others may find it inviting if they are looking for a simple bit of fun to just complete in a short amount of time. New abilities have been added that allow for differing platforming sections than what is usually presented yet, for the most part, the simple style is still present, although that is not necessarily a bad thing. The game plays as expected from a LEGO title, with no fundamental changes at all. Moments like these really generate a giggle or two. In one example, there is a moment where Han tells Leia that he loves her, only for her to respond with "I know," as a throwback to that infamous scene from The Empire Strikes Back when the roles were reversed. It is always expected that people must go into the LEGO games with a very open mind, as not everyone will appreciate the jokes that relate back to the films in the saga. Kylo Ren's obsession with Darth Vader is exaggerated to the point of having posters of him, as well as a bedspread in his bedroom, for instance. Many of the scenes from the film that it is based on have been adapted well to the LEGO world, with certain liberties taken in order to generate a few laughs. LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is no different in this regard. While they have made light of some of the darker moments in films, they have always seemed to know where the line should need to be drawn in order to be in that middle ground of being funny for all ages and being downright cringe-worthy for older gamers. The LEGO games have typically been full of humour by nature, due to the main target market being children and families.
