Warnings

The macOS (OS X) version of this game does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps.

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (sometimes abbreviated as "LSW:TCS" or just "TCS") is a Lego-styled action-adventure game based upon the first six Star Wars films. It is an enhanced port of Lego Star Wars: The Video Game and Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy with higher quality graphics, additional characters, two new story levels, several new bonus levels, and many changes to the Prequel Trilogy levels.

While the console and handheld versions of the game were released in November 2007, a year after Lego Star Wars II, Windows gamers would have to wait nearly two years until October 13, 2009, and Mac OS X gamers another year, until November 16, 2010. A mobile phone port was released in 2013, which has some differences from the PC and console version, the most notable being replacing "Indiana Jones" with a scarred version of Anakin from Revenge of the Sith, who can be modded into the PC version.

On PC, there is an active small but growing modding community for all of Traveler's Tales's Lego video games, based primarily around a Discord server. TCS is the most popular Lego video game to mod, with many mods adding characters or fixing bugs.

Anti-aliasing (AA)

Force MSAA or SSAA (Nvidia only)

Download and run Nvidia Profile Inspector. Open the LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga game profile. Set Antialiasing Compatibility to 0x000012C1. Set Antialiasing - Behavior Flags to None Set Antialiasing - Mode to Override any application setting. Set Antialiasing - Setting to the desired level of antialiasing. For MSAA 2x, 4x, or 8xQ For SSAA: 1x2, 2x1, 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 Apply changes. Notes LOD adjustment is not necessary for this game. Forced SGSSAA breaks soft shadows, causing them to render with hard edges.

Force MSAA (AMD only)

NOT recommended, as this will cause all particle effects (e.g. blue stud sparkles, flames, lightsaber sparks etc.) to be visible through walls. This issue does not occur for "Morphological Anti-Aliasing". Go to your desktop, right-click, and select AMD Radeon Software. Go to Gaming. Open the LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga game profile. Scroll to the bottom and select Advanced. Set Anti-Aliasing to Override application settings. Set Anti-Aliasing Level to 2x, 4x, 8x, 2xEQ, 4xEQ, or 8xEQ. Set Anti-Aliasing Method to Multisampling. Optional: Set Morphological Anti-Aliasing to Enabled.

High frame rate

Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.

Maximum frame rate is tied to the game's refresh rate, can be changed manually below.

Set refresh rate manually

Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide. Manual local installation may work better. Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created. Open <path-to-game>\d3d9.ini or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\LEGOStarWarsSaga.exe\SpecialK.ini depending on the installation method you used. Change RefreshRate=-1 to the desired frame rate cap (e.g. RefreshRate=300). This value adjusts both the monitor's refresh rate and the game's maximum frame rate. Notes High frame rates can reduce jump height. This is most obvious at the beginning of Episode VI, Chapter 3 "Speeder Showdown". It is impossible to jump over the fallen tree.

Issues unresolved

"The Great Pit of Carkoon" is too dark

The lighting in the second level of Episode VI is significantly darker than its Lego Star Wars II counterpart, as well as that of its intro cutscene.

Enabling bloom can partially help.

Issues fixed

Random BSOD during the game

Disable internet connection
If the game crashes to a Blue Screen of Death randomly, usually within 5-10 minutes of play (e.g. during cutscenes, in a level or the Cantina), disable internet connection prior to starting the game and keep it disabled until after quitting the game.

Mods

This section may require cleanup to meet basic quality standards. The specific problem is: Much of the "bug fixes and restored content" stuff will be compiled into Jacko's The Complete Saga: Special Edition and V3 of Bario's Fixes and Improvements (but not all). This section should probably be cleaned up in general when either of those release; use Sonic Adventure 2 as a good example of mod organization. You can help by modifying the article. The discussion page may contain useful suggestions.

See the beginners setup guide for instructions on how to configure the game for mod support.

Setting up mods requires extracting the game's .DAT files, which noticeably increases file size.

Lego Star Wars Modernized Weapons Pack

Replaces the various weapons with their equivalents found in more recent Lego sets.

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Roster

Adds a plethora of characters and vehicles to the roster that were either unused or unplayable in the base game as well as fixing/improving many aspects of it

Not compatible with existing save files

An updated beta version is available (direct download).

The Complete Saga High Jump De-restrictor

Removes the jump height restriction from characters that have the high jump ability (Jar Jar, General Grievous, etc.) in original trilogy levels and the cantina, making their jump height consistent across all levels.

Requires Reloaded-II mod loader.

Bug-fixes and restored content

• Anakin Fixes And Extra Playables by Suso - Adds Anakin Skywalker (Dark Side) and Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader) to the character roster and fixes a few issues with some of the Anakin variants such as the torso textures being flipped and Anakin Skywalker (Padawan)'s hair color being inaccurate to his Lego Star Wars I appearance and his IRL minifigure.

• Blaster sound fix for Han and Luke in Stormtrooper suit by OLDCOOKIE - Gives Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper) and Han Solo (Stormtrooper) the Stormtrooper blaster sound when they fire their blasters since they are using Stormtrooper blasters.

• Fixed Invasion of Naboo Midtro by CaptainM - The audio in the second cutscene for Invasion of Naboo is off-sync with the cutscene itself, unlike in Lego Star Wars I. This mod fixes that.

• Fixed Naboo Royal Starship in "Retake Theed Palace" cutscene by Philips_27 - In the intro cutscene for "Retake Theed Palace", the Naboo Royal Starship's landing gear is rendered, but the ship itself is missing. Replace file in <path-to-game>\LEVELS\EPISODE_I\RETAKEPALACE with this file to fix.

• Palace Guard Fixed Death Layers by Mando Modding - Palace Guard uses Skiff Guard's layers, so he has Luke Skywalker's hairpiece for his death parts and nothing else. This mod fixes that. Place in <path-to-game>\CHARS\SKIFFGUARD.

• Restored Luminara in "Defense of Kashyyyk" by Philips_27 - Based upon some unused and unfinished scripts, Luminara Unduli was supposed to join the party in Story Mode after opening the gates in the last area of "Defense of Kashyyyk".
