THE LEGO SERIES has been hard to avoid since the first Star Wars game in 2005. Also includes Indiana Jones, Batman, Harry Potter, Marvel, DC, Pirates... Lego has cherry-picked the jewels in the crown of modern entertainment, converted them into plastic blocks, and now returns to where it all began.
This isn't a franchise you’d expect to give up any new details or meanings after over 40 years but in Lego guise, it gains the charm Lucas always stretched for with his droids, porgs, and jizz music, but never quite grasped. The little moments are everywhere, from the beginning where a space traffic stop leads to the hiding of some suspicious Evil Plans, while the Death Star levels show what stormtroopers do on their days off—and we weren’t expecting tai chi.
Rather than choosing to simply boost the resolution and port the older games into a new engine, The Skywalker Saga contains fresh takes on familiar events, turning the linear levels of the past into open-world romps in which you explore to discover who to talk to and where to go next. All nine of the movies are here, split into five levels each, and even the ones we don’t like to talk about involving Gungans are rendered a lot of fun simply through the inclusion of one feature: local co-op.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
