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)[2]
  1. Download and run Nvidia Profile Inspector.
  2. Open the LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga game profile.
  3. Set Antialiasing Compatibility to 0x000012C1.[Note 2]
  4. Set Antialiasing - Behavior Flags to None
  5. Set Antialiasing - Mode to Override any application setting.
  6. Set Antialiasing - Setting to the desired level of antialiasing.
    For MSAA 2x, 4x, or 8xQ
    For SSAA: 1x2, 2x1, 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4
  7. Apply changes.

Notes

LOD adjustment is not necessary for this game.[2]
Forced SGSSAA breaks soft shadows, causing them to render with hard edges.[3]
Force MSAA (AMD only)
  1. Go to your desktop, right-click, and select AMD Radeon Software.
  2. Go to Gaming.
  3. Open the LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga game profile.
  4. Scroll to the bottom and select Advanced.
  5. Set Anti-Aliasing to Override application settings.
  6. Set Anti-Aliasing Level to 2x, 4x, 8x, 2xEQ, 4xEQ, or 8xEQ.
  7. Set Anti-Aliasing Method to Multisampling.
  8. 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[4]
  1. Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide. Manual local installation may work better.
  2. Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
  3. Open <path-to-game>\d3d9.ini or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\LEGOStarWarsSaga.exe\SpecialK.ini depending on the installation method you used.
  4. 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[6][7]

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.

macOS (OS X)
This 32-bit-only macOS game does not work on macOS Catalina (10.15) or later.

Mods

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: The Complete Roster

Adds 16 characters and 7 vehicles to the playable roster whom were originally in the game, but not playable.
Not compatible with existing save files.

The Complete Saga High Jump De-restrictor

Removes the jump height restriction from super jump characters (such as Jar Jar or General Grievous) in Lego Star Wars II Levels and the Cantina, making their jump height consistent across all levels.
Requires Reloaded II mod loader.

Lego Star Wars Modernized Weapons Pack

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

Bug fixes and restored content

  • Luke Skywalker (Ceremony) teeth fix by RiseMods - The Ceremony variant of Luke used in the Episode IV ending cutscene has black teeth. This mod replaces his teeth for consistency with other Luke Variants. Extract the 7-zip archive and place both contained GHG files in <path-to-game>\CHARS\LUKESKYWALKER_JEDI.
  • Zam Wessel with Correct Gun - Gives Zam Wessel the chrome-colored pistol she is seen with in cutscenes instead of the default megaphone blaster.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/32440/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (32440) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  2. This step can be skipped if Enhanced Graphics is disabled.
