STAR WARS LEGO II on PSP

In 1983, my world was turned upside down by a bearded man with bad glasses and a lumberjack shirt. Two decades later, he broke my heart. No, not Mr Baguley my French teacher, but George Lucas. While the Star Wars saga bought such colour and imagination to so many kids lives in the 70s and 80s, as an adult, with his crazy tinkering and mind-numbingly dull prequels, Lucas destroyed all that. So much so, that I sold my entire collection of Star Wars toys (boxed n’all) in protest. Yeah – that showed him. He’ll rue the day etc. Anyway, while all may not be forgiven, Star Wars Lego II (which was, after a torturous wait, released this week for the PSP) at least brought back the sense of fun and wonder the original films once bestowed. Tell me this - what other game do you open a blast-door expecting a full on Stormtrooper onslaught only to find two of the evil Empire’s army bathing - budgie-smugglers n’all - in a hot tub? Now THERE’s a deleted scene I’d buy a Star Wars DVD for. Smiles, spaceships, sandpeople … and I haven’t even encountered a Wookie yet. You see – life in a binary star system CAN be fun.
