The updated "Beyond the Bricks" chapter goes behind-the-scenes to take a look at how LEGO sets are made, new models, plus fun fan creations. Of course this book would not be complete without an exclusive LEGO Star Wars minifigure, which is sure to impress even the most dedicated collector.
The brick-tastic guide to a galaxy far, far away is back — with some special modifications. DK Publishing’s LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary – Updated and Expanded hit stores last week, featuring in-depth info and up-to-date details on the entire LEGO Star Wars franchise, from toys to video games to movies.
What advice would you give to someone wanting to become a designer at the LEGO Group?
Jens: There are different routes into jobs. And it’s changed a lot since we started.
Lauge: Yes, I wouldn’t get hired now, not with just the competencies I had when I applied! We expect much more from people these days in terms of skill level and design knowledge. In the old days the process was more open and flexible but now there are specific requirements.
Jens: Yes, there are requirements now, for education and so on, which none of us could live up to, but fortunately you gather some skills over the years!
One thing is that we are a very international department, with product designers from all other the world. Generally we require educational qualifications in industrial design, but of course it doesn’t have to be from any particular place, but that’s a requirement.
Is being a LEGO fan important?
Jens: A good knowledge of LEGO building and being a LEGO fan is of course a good thing, but also having a good portfolio. We always start with a person’s portfolio.
What else are you looking for in an applicant?
Lauge: People need fundamental knowledge, and they need to be able to design things, but they also need to be able to understand processes. Some people are really good at the design side, but as soon as they come into a professional company, there are different requirements.
Jens: I think being able to think about processes and being structured is one thing and being creative is another. The creative part is the most important thing; we can always teach people to be more structured.
Lauge: Yes, if we’ve got someone who’s very structured, then we can’t teach them how to be creative—it’s easier to take creative people and teach them to be structured.
We also look for an ability to work in a team. It’s extremely rare that people here are able to work on their own—everyone has to be able to function well in a team.
How did you come to work at the LEGO Group?
Jens: I was hired in 1998, and it was by chance, through my hobby. I was working in the printing business, and in my spare time I built plastic models—not LEGO models, but models, planes, tanks. I entered a competition, and there were some people from the LEGO Group there looking for freelance designers. We had a talk and they suggested I apply for a permanent job, which I did. Of course as a child I was a big big LEGO fan.
I started as a model builder or product designer and then developed. In 2000, I became creative lead—managing the team developing models. And I’ve been doing the same thing more or less ever since. When I was interviewed for the first edition of this book, I was senior design manager and now I’m design director of the Star Wars team.
Lauge: I was hired in 1995. One summer, between University courses, I applied to the LEGO Group as a model builder and I got the job — I didn’t expect that to be honest. I had been going to become a teacher, but 18 years later, I’m still here. I began building models, and then became a graphic designer, which was a good decision as I’ve continued in that direction. Over the years, there have been several opportunities to take responsibility and with the support from the LEGO Group, I am now a design manager.
From the story behind Holdo's rings to Easter eggs, DK Publishing's guide features many revelations.
Even after multiple viewings, Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a trove of sights to discover, revealing more hints of a larger universe — and thankfully, it arrives on Digital and via Movies Anywhere tomorrow, and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and On-Demand on March 27.
But what better way to learn more about the characters, places, and things of the galaxy seen in The Last Jedi than to learn from our own equivalent to a holocron on the subject, the Star Wars: The Last Jedi – The Visual Dictionary from DK Publishing. Written by Pablo Hidalgo, whose role on the Lucasfilm Story Group ensures he’s in the know for everything happening in the Star Wars universe, the Visual Dictionary literally defines what we see in the film by providing names and filling in the details that take us beyond the movie. Here’s some of the coolest tidbits of knowledge we learned from this comprehensive guide, along with some select interior spreads.
1. Med ship, gun ship, two ships, one ship.
We know from The Last Jedi that Vice Admiral Holdo is the commander of the Ninka before her promotion to lead the entire Resistance fleet, but which one is the Ninka? And what are the names of the other ships? The Visual Dictionary has us covered — General Leia Organa’s Mon Calamari flagship is named after none other than the rebel admiral who backed up Jyn Erso’s mission to Scarif, Rogue One‘s Admiral Raddus (seen in the image above). The Raddus is heavily automated and can project its deflector shield far from its hull, allowing it to defend smaller ships within range. Though he had clashed with its namesake, Admiral Ackbar was the one to petition the naming of the ship after his fellow Mon Calamari hero. During the evacuation, the cargo frigate Vigil was commanded by Vice Admiral Jotis, while Vice Admiral Resdox is given command of the Anodyne, which was a decommissioned New Republic Nebulon-C escort frigate converted to a hospital ship. As for the Ninka, it’s no slouch — this small Corellian cruiser packs a lot of weaponry, including heavy plasma bombs used in orbital strikes.
2. Island living.
While it was difficult for the Resistance to find a map to Luke Skywalker, readers of this reference have it easy: there’s a map of the island on Ahch-To that is home to the origins of the Jedi. In addition to the Jedi Temple, and Jedi Village, where Rey and Luke stay, there’s also the mirror cave, and a separate village that is home for the Caretakers, the female Lanais who maintain the Jedi structures out of a sworn duty. More detail is given about the Lanais, whose males, known as the Visitors, spend most of their time at sea as fishermen, coming to the island monthly with their catch. The sentient Lanais are distantly related to the unintelligent but very curious porgs. And the library of ancient books Luke has collected are stored in the hollow of timeworn Force-sensitive uneti tree.
3. Fellowship of the rings.
The Visual Dictionary series excels at taking readers beyond the film by filling out the galaxy with extra details that provoke even more questions: everyday items tell their own stories. While Rose’s medallion and Rebel Alliance ring are featured in the plot of the film, other characters have rings and other items of jewelry that lend their own stories. Poe Dameron wears a ring on a necklace — it was his mother’s wedding ring, made from a steel washer from some old Rebellion machinery. Supreme Leader Snoke also had a ring — capped with a piece of obsidian from the catacombs below Darth Vader’s castle on Mustafar. Amilyn Holdo’s accessories represent the astronomy from her homeworld of Gatalenta: the multiple rings on her tiara represent her world’s multiple suns, while her bracelets outline Gatalentan constellations. Even Luke Skywalker carries a piece that surely has a tale behind it — he keeps a bolo with a recovered Jedi Crusader pendant, carrying a trophy piece of a broken Sith lightsaber crystal.
4. Executing orders.
Aboard the Supremacy, Finn and Rose find that they’ve really stuck their necks out for the Resistance when the First Order looks like they’re going to come out ahead. But who are those mysterious executioner troopers and why does the First Order resort to such theatrics for dispensing justice? I’m glad you axed!
In a section on stormtroopers, we learn that public executions are part of the First Order’s way of clamping down on disloyalty. Instead of being a special unit assigned to a head honcho, any stormtrooper may be assigned to executioner duty for a day, and then will suit up in special executioner armor with black shoulder armor and the distinctive helmet with the black stripe over their right eye. The ability to execute even their fellow First Order members without wavering shows they’ve got the chops as an effective stormtrooper. While on regular duty, stormtroopers have their serial number broadcast from their helmets to other nearby helmet displays, but executioner helmets keep the axe-wielders anonymous from their peers, but not to their commanders. Each laser ax opens with two sets of emitter claws on each side that create razor-sharp monomolecular energy ribbons. Detachment is the aim of this detachment!
5. Wordly wise.
Ever watch a movie or TV show on your own and pause your viewing to read something written in the film, whether it is a character’s to-do list, a message on a blackboard, newspaper headline, or newsfeed ticker? In Star Wars, there’s that added bonus of having to translate it from Aurebesh! Here’s a few of the key words and phrases seen on items and places in The Last Jedi.
One of the easier ones to translate (or even guess) is on the helmets of the law enforcement in the casino city: CBPD — for Canto Bight Police Department. One fun fact about those helmets is that the department letters can also be holographically projected in reverse so they can be read in a rearview mirror! On the other end of the legal spectrum, the con artist and codebreaker known as DJ has his own motto stamped on his head: the Aurebesh on a metal plate on his hat translates to “Don’t Join”, the source of his nickname, and his main philosophy that no matter the larger cause, they’ll just grind you up. Two of the proton bombs from MG-100 StarFortress heavy bombers have some hand-written messages from the ordnance crew: “Hi Snoke” and “Han says Hi”. Rose Tico’s borrowed First Order major’s uniform has the name Tarkin sewn on the left armband. If reading Aurebesh is too easy, the Lanais have their own cuneiform writing system based on the shapes of their bird feet — there’s a clay chopping board to decipher! And speaking of words, the Visual Dictionary confirms that Poe deliberately refers to Hux as “General Hugs” in an attempt to infuriate the pasty general.
6. Last line of defense.
While Supreme Leader Snoke still has a mysterious background, many details about his Praetorian Guard are revealed. Shunning ranged weaponry, these four pairs of warriors protect the Supreme Leader from anyone afforded an audience with their reclusive boss. While their red armor link back to Emperor Palpatine’s brilliant red Royal Guard, their armor and weapons reveal their lethality. Their segmented armor is powered, able to create a localized magnetic field that helps deflect blaster fire and even glance off indirect lightsaber blows. The weapons of the guard, while based on more ancient hand weapons, are fitted with ultrasonic generators to create high-frequency vibrations across the cutting edge, while placed in front of each blade is an electro-plasma filament that generates an energy blade capable of parrying lightsabers. Their weapons include the Bilari electro-chain whip, twin vibro-arbir blades that can be connected or separated, a vibro-voulge, and an electro-bisento. While the origins of the Praetorians remain a mystery, their name stems back to the 14 th Atrisian Emperor of Kitel Phard.
7. Connections to other tales!
The Force binds everything together, and the Visual Dictionary follows suit, homing in on little details that help connect other Star Wars stories to The Last Jedi, from books to video games. In a spread about Luke’s life on Ahch-To, we learn that he learned how to spearfish from great heights during his time on Lew’el, which is covered, from a certain point of view, in The Legends of Luke Skywalker by Ken Liu. Also picked up in his travels is Luke’s star compass, reclaimed from one of Palpatine’s observatories on Pillio, as seen in a mission in Star Wars Battlefront II. The Visual Dictionary helps to identify many of the Cantonica denizens featured in the Canto Bight anthology from Del Rey, including the mysterious Grammus sisters, the impossibly lucky Winning Three, Masseur Lexo Sooger and contest winner Kedpin Shoklop. Phasma gets a double dose of references: her spread bring up her background on the merciless world of Parnassos, chronicled in the novel Phasma by Delilah S. Dawson, as well as her escape from Starkiller Base and the cover up of her treason, as detailed in the Marvel comic Captain Phasma by writer Kelly Thompson and artist Marco Checchetto. Rose and Paige Tico’s descriptions connect directly with their stories told in Cobalt Squadron by Elizabeth Wein, and Bomber Command by Jason Fry, while the spreads for Vice Admiral Holdo and the abandoned Rebel base at Crait tie back to Leia, Princess of Alderaan by Claudia Gray. And remember that uneti tree that Luke keeps the Jedi library in? It’s the same type of Force-sensitive tree as seen in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant in The Clone Wars animated series, which survived in two saplings, as shown in the Shattered Empire comic by Greg Rucka.
8. Canto Bites?
The creatures of The Last Jedi get fleshed out in the sections about their environments, and we learn some interesting facts about many of them. The crystalline vulptex is well suited for the dark mines of Crait. With their keen eyes that work well in low light conditions, long bushy whiskers that can help them navigate in the dark, it’s no wonder that a skulk of vulptices has moved into the abandoned mines. Fathiers, the racing beasts of Canto Bight, stand 3 meters high at the shoulder, which means that a jockey’s fall is often fatal. While the racing fathiers are bred for speed and endurance, and can reach speeds up to 75 kilometers per hour, they can’t maintain full speed for long distances, causing their riders to apply force to get key bursts of speed. Their wing-like ears help act as rudders for steering through air as well as shed excess body heat through a high concentration of blood vessels near the ear surface. Sadly, fathier pens are so small that the animals must sleep standing, which causes them to be constantly tired and easily irritated. The porgs of Ahch-To, on the other hand, have plenty of space to roam and nest. Their dense feathers and down help insulate their bodies while their large eyes provide stereoscopic vision for spotting fish to eat. While their webbed feet are ideal for swimming, the dry and crunchy legs of a rotisserie porg are the ideal part for eating, according to Chewbacca.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrives on Digital and via Movies Anywhere on March 13, and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and On-Demand on March 27.

Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas may have placed another order no one knew about.
Here’s an odd experience for a writer: discovering you have one more published book than you thought.
In 2011, with a 3-D version of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace headed to theaters the next year, DK asked me to write an expansion of Star Wars Episode I: The Visual Dictionary, the 1999 book penned by David West Reynolds. That was a fun project. Among other things, we offered a cutaway diagram of Darth Maul’s double-bladed lightsaber; named some new droids, characters and ships; and revisited material about the Sith, the Senate, and the Jedi based on what had happened in the later two episodes — taking advantage of material that hadn’t existed when Reynolds wrote the original book.
Star Wars The Phantom Menace: The Expanded Visual Dictionary (say that 10 times fast!) came out in January 2012 and was well received. The time was right for fans to take another look at a movie that was then more than a decade old. With 3-D releases of Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith in the works, DK hired me to update and expand another Reynolds book, 2002’s Star Wars Attack of the Clones: The Visual Dictionary.
The expanded Attack of the Clones Visual Dictionary was finished and set for a June 2013 release, but then word came that Disney and Lucasfilm had indefinitely postponed the theatrical 3-D releases of the other two prequels to focus on The Force Awakens. Without the movie release as a marketing hook, an expanded Visual Dictionary no longer made sense. The book, like the movie, was put aside. (A planned expansion of James Luceno’s Star Wars Revenge of the Sith: The Visual Dictionary never progressed beyond the outline stage.)
Writers learn pretty quickly that publishing is a business, and business decisions aren’t personal. I shrugged and focused on my next project. But that didn’t stop me from occasionally mourning the book I’d written that had disappeared.
I’d enjoyed revisiting Attack of the Clones. The pages about Count Dooku, Darth Sidious, and the Sith had been particularly interesting to rethink, because I could draw on the full saga in telling the story. I also had a good time making up names for younglings and Mos Espa inhabitants who’d never received them, and filling in other little missing pieces of the saga.
The book, I felt, had made the story of Attack of the Clones deeper and richer — but almost no one knew about it. At the tail end of the project I’d been emailed images of the final pages, and on some sleepless nights I’d look at them, bemused that I was one of the very few people who could read a lost book.
I kept working with DK, and the fate of The Expanded Visual Dictionary became a joking worst-case scenario trotted out when we were trying to figure out some difficulty. One day last fall I was having lunch with DK’s Simon Beecroft and mentioned the book that had never been, reminding him that I had one of the only copies in the world – albeit it in digital form.
Simon frowned and said he seemed to recall The Expanded Visual Dictionary had in fact been released somewhere. Perhaps it was Denmark?
I did a little Googling, but found nothing and gave up. It sounded like a publishing urban legend: Why would a book like that get released in just one country? If it hadn’t made sense to release it in the U.S., why was Denmark any different?
But then one day this spring I got a package from the U.K., with the usual stamps and customs forms. It was from Simon. I opened it in puzzlement; DK very kindly sends me copies of my books once they’ve been printed, but I couldn’t think of a project of mine that had reached that stage.
And then I stared in disbelief at what he had sent.
I didn’t know what Klonernes Angreb: Den Ultimative Illustrerede Guide meant, but I could guess. The Expanded Visual Dictionary had indeed come out in Denmark, released by DK’s Danish publishing partner, Alvilda.
So how did my book wind up getting published there?
Alvilda’s Jonas Holm Hansen said that “obviously, when the plans about the 3-D movies were changed, we did consider not doing the second book. But I remember visiting a local library and scrolling through their old Star Wars collection and seeing the old, non-expanded version. It was dirty, missing pages, and barely holding together,” Jonas said. “At that point there was no doubt in my mind: We HAD to publish the expanded version! At least so I could add it to my personal collection….”
And so there you have it, the story of how I wound up with one more published book than I’d thought, and how some additions to the Star Wars saga have slipped past even the eagle eyes of Wookieepedia. (You guys! Get on that!)
It happened because someone at Alvilda loved books and was a Star Wars fan. In other words, for the same reasons I was excited to write the book in the first place. And that makes me happy.

LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game is a video game based on the Star Wars-themed toy line by the LEGO Group. It place during the prequel trilogy (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith), with a bonus segment from A New Hope.
LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game was first released on April 5, 2005, a month before the premiere of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. To prevent inadvertent spoilers of the then-upcoming film, most reviewers warned of it in their reviews. LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game has many homages to the original trilogy films, including a reference to the X-wing levitation sequence in Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
The game had a multi-platform release: Traveller's Tales developed the Xbox, PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows versions, Griptonite Games developed the Game Boy Advance version. A Macintosh port, developed by Aspyr Media, was released in August 2005. The Nintendo GameCube version was released on October 26, 2005. All versions were published by Eidos Interactive and LucasArts.
The game had two sequels, LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, released in September 2006, and LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, released in March 2011. All episodes for LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game were included in the LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga.

Synopsis [ edit ]
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace [ edit ]
The Trade Federation has blockaded the peaceful planet of Naboo. The two Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi are sent to negotiate. Their Republic Cruiser lands in the Trade Federation's capital ship's hangar; the protocol droid TC-14 greets them, and the Jedi are escorted to a small conference chamber, where they sense a disturbance in the Force (the Republic Cruiser is destroyed) and are set upon by several Trade Federation Battle Droids. They destroy the Battle Droids and find TC-14, who helps them through the ship. Upon discovering an invasion force headed for Naboo, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan decide to board a Trade Federation MTT and meet down on the planet.
They land on the planet and regroup. The Jedi travel through the swamp and find a Gungan named Jar Jar Binks, who takes them to the Gungan city nearby. The group arrives, and the Gungan leader Boss Nass gives them safe passage to the capital city of Theed. It is here that the Queen is being held by the droid invasion force.
The Jedi rescue the Queen Amidala and her guard Captain Panaka, and they proceed to the Queen's hangar and escape the planet. The Royal Cruiser is damaged, warranting an emergency landing on the world of Tatooine.
On Tatooine, a young boy named Anakin Skywalker said he could help them get the money for new parts. He offers to win the Boonta Eve Podrace for them and win them the money. He wins the Podrace, and Qui-Gon decides to bring Anakin with him, noting his extreme sensitivity to the Force.
The ship lands on Coruscant, and Senator Palpatine becomes Supreme Chancellor of the Republic. Queen Amidala decides to return to Naboo and free her planet. On Naboo, Amidala recruits the Gungans to help the Naboo retake the planet. Meanwhile, the Space Fighter Corps destroys the main Trade Federation capital ship and knocks out the Trade Federation army.
Darth Sidious's apprentice, Darth Maul, engages Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. Obi-Wan defeats the Sith, but Qui-Gon is killed. He requests that Obi-Wan trains Anakin. Celebrations are held on Naboo, and peace between the Gungans and the Naboo people is proclaimed.
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones [ edit ]
It is ten years after the blockade of Naboo. Padme is now a Senator, and Anakin is Obi-Wan's Padawan. A bounty is put on Padme from the Trade Federation as revenge and Obi-Wan follows a clue left by a certain bounty hunter to the world of Kamino. In light of current events, he discovers a clone army being prepared for the Republic. He also encounters Jango Fett and his son Boba, but the two escape before he can question them.
Obi-Wan follows them to the planet of Geonosis. He is set upon, and calls Anakin for backup. Anakin and Padme free Obi-Wan, but are captured by Jango Fett and a team of battle droids.
Following a mock trial and execution, the group are rescued by Mace Windu and many of the Order's Jedi, backed up by the clone army. Count Dooku, the Separatist Leader, escapes.
Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padme pursue Count Dooku to a hangar. The two Jedi engage him, but Anakin's arm is lost. Yoda arrives and bests the Count, but Dooku stages a distraction and escapes in his ship.
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith [ edit ]
It is three years since Episode II, and the Clone Wars are in motion. In a stunning act of audacity, General Grievous, leader of the Confederacy's droid armies, has abducted Chancellor Palpatine from Coruscant. The Republic forces engage the Confederacy's invasion forces, with Obi-Wan and Anakin at the spearhead.
They eventually find Count Dooku and kill him. The two Jedi rescue the Chancellor and confront Grievous, but he escapes. Obi-Wan pursues him to Utapau and, with the help of his clone commander, Cody, Grievous is slain.
Meanwhile, on the Wookiee home world of Kashyyyk, Yoda and Chewbacca are on the front lines when the clones receive Order 66 and revolt against the Jedi. Yoda escapes the planet. He and Obi-Wan return to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, where they find that Anakin has fallen to the Dark Side and killed every Jedi in the Temple.
Padme, confused and upset, journeys to Mustafar to meet with Anakin. There Padme finally realizes what her husband has done and she states that he is "going down a path that she can't follow". Obi-Wan walks off the Naboo cruiser and consequently Anakin becomes enraged. Upset and angered, Anakin uses the force to choke Padme into unconsciousness. After a dramatic fight sequence between Anakin and Obi-Wan, Anakin is left for dead, severely burned and scarred. Obi-Wan Kenobi escapes and takes Padme to an asteroid field where a medical center is located. She dies, having lost the will to live. Anakin is fitted into a suit of black Sith armor and becomes Darth Vader.
With the galaxy entering the Dark Times, Padme's twins are split up. Leia is taken to Alderaan, while Luke Skywalker is placed in the care of his aunt and uncle on Tatooine.
Gameplay [ edit ]
LEGO Star Wars has a total of 56 playable characters. The playable characters are modeled like actual LEGO parts (but with far more mobility) and are divided into groups according to certain skills.
Characters [ edit ]
There are a wide variety of characters included in the game, all of which are unlocked by completing levels or by purchasing them at Dexter's Diner. Every character, other than the PK Droid, the Gonk Droid and Chancellor Palpatine, have a special ability, such as extra high jumping, control of the Force, or the ability to Grapple. Droids, while not being armed, can travel through the game unimpeded (ie. they won't be intentionally attacked by enemy characters); as well, protocol droids and astromech droids can open doors via special panels. Also, unlike other armed droids, player-controlled Battle Droids will be ignored by hostile Battle Droids, but not Droidekas. The Gonk Droid is also indestructible. The characters grunt rather than speak.
Because LEGO Star Wars is based on the Prequel Trilogy (Episodes I, II and III), Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and other characters from the original Star Wars trilogy are not shown (excluding Princess Leia, who is a purchasable character once unlocked).
Unlocked characters can be imported into the game's sequel, LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, by purchasing the extra, "Use Old Save", for 250,000 LEGO studs.

Dexter's Diner [ edit ]
Dexter's Diner is the area from which the player chooses what level to enter and view any vehicles whose parts they have found in any of the game's levels. LEGO Star Wars also has a feature called 'Free Play', which enables the player to play the same level again, but with the ability to switch between characters, thus gaining access to areas containing extras the player was unable to get before. In Free Play mode, a player may use any character they have unlocked. The player may also match up good and evil characters, such as Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul. The Free Play option will only appear when the player finishes a level. Levels that are played in vehicles cannot be played in Free Play, but are able to be replayed in Story mode like the others. Some characters, such as Chancellor Palpatine, the PK Droid, and the Gonk Droid, cannot do anything but walk, although they are never attacked in the case of PK Droids and Gonk Droids, giving them the ability to traverse the levels unharmed. Also, in the Diner, players may purchase unlockable extras for studs.
Levels [ edit ]
Each level in LEGO Star Wars loosely follows the various sequences from the Star Wars prequel films, with game play segments linked together by various cutscenes. There is no spoken dialogue; rather, the characters act out their parts using gestures and pantomime. The game begins with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn about the Trade Federation ship, and ends with Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi's duel on Mustafar.
