- Obi-Wan Kenobi (Padawan) Braid Fix by Bario The Weird - By default, the texture for Obi-Wan's Episode I torso is missing the braid found on his texture in the console versions of LSWI, as well as in LSWII and TCS. This texture edit restores the braid. Place in
<path-to-game>\lego_data\Chars\ObiWanKenobi.
Audio enhancements
- TCS Episode III Music by SirYodaJedi - Replaces the gameplay background music for Episode III levels with the versions used in The Complete Saga taken from the Revenge of the Sith soundtrack.[Note 3] Does not affect cutscene music.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below
%PROGRAMFILES%,%PROGRAMDATA%, or%WINDIR%might be redirected to%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStoreon Windows Vista and later (more details). - ↑ Bumpmapping setting does not work properly on modern hardware, resulting in characters being shaded with improper lighting.
- ↑ This game was developed alongside Episode III and released over a month before the movie, so TT Games did not have access to the soundtrack in time for release. They were able to fix this for the compilation game, but only did so for the gameplay background music and not the cutscenes.
