Back in about 2007 or 2008, I saw an ad for the Complete Saga on TV, and it blew my little child brain away. I actually got so excited over being able to mix and match stuff from different eras that I actually screamed at my mom to buy me the game. Complete Saga got a lot of hours out of me and many fun memories, but as time marched on and LEGO games became more advanced, it did actually get left behind.
When the Sequel trilogy (ew) finished, it was basically only a matter of time until a new Complete Saga came out to update everything, and that's what Skywalker Saga is.
For those of you expecting a one-to-one update of Complete Saga, I'm sorry to disappoint, but it's not. There's quite a handful of changes that were made that put distance between Complete Saga and Skywalker Saga, some good, some bad, and here's a short list:
-The Cantina is gone completely and has been replaced by an open world/galaxy map, which I feel is a bad thing since you lose that visual reminder of your progress as the Cantina fills up with people. This also means custom characters are gone as well.
-Episode 1 actually adds the Control Ship as a level in the episode, as opposed to it being cut content in the original game and an extra in Complete Saga.
-Episode 2 doesn't have a gunship battle, but it does have a chase with Jango in the asteroid field which I don't remember being in either the original game or Complete Saga.
-Episode 3 completely skips the Battle of Coruscant's space section and starts on the Invisible Hand.
Many parts of Complete Saga that were full levels have been either merged into the open world, turned into cutscenes, or those that were retained as levels were heavily truncated into much shorter missions. The first level of Episode 1, the Theed levels, and the Invisible Hand were all significantly cut down compared to how they were in Complete Saga. I imagine the case is very much the same for the Original Trilogy and the Force Awakens.
The game is good - very good. It's just that I think a lot of what made Complete Saga good (the longer linear levels as opposed to the open world with short missions, for example) being lost has harmed the game quite a bit.
