Star Wars Reviews

You don;t have to look too hard to find these for figures sitting on pegs at asale prices...Hasbro ropes you in by adding a dentention device...it's just not woth it

This set has some figures that has been released before but has some minor changes. This is a great set if you don't have the figures in the set! Its a great price too!

I love the fact that the best figures are impossible to get. How many stormtroopers did they make? 2? Seems like it..

I'm very excited to see this classic (and most accurate) stormtrooper released. Of all the versions made, this is the most popular. And for good reason-the chest, legs, head-all are the most realistic yet. And the figure is very poseable, due to its many joints. The accessories are more flexible than in past versions, while still in the package they may twist and distort. Don't worry, once released they quickly retake their proper shape. This is a popular fig with some members of my Star Wars club (...)

Lookin' for a little something to get my Yoda-phile mom for Mother's Day, I stumbled upon this and found myself astounded by this neat little action figure diorama dealie of the little green dude. I couldn't believe the fairly high level of detail and sculpting this toy possessed (man, do I wish Hasbro put this kinda work into the regular action figure line). There wasn't much in the way of articulation (poseability), but this is due to the fact that this piece was meant to be displayed more than anything else.

The only thing I'm not too hip with is the fact that Yoda's wielding a lightsaber here. Call me weird (everybody I know does, BTW), but I just don't like seein' the little dude usin' a lightsaber. It's one of the reasons (among an endless sea of others) I wasn't too keen on Eppie II. I always saw Yoda as the type of Jedi master who didn't need to rely on weapons to kick some Sith @$$. This quirk of mine likely stems from him bein' much more philosophical-- and a lot less action-oriented-- in the 'Empire' and 'Jedi'. And yes, such musings as the weirdness of Yoda wielding a lightsaber ARE the kinda things that race through my mind on a regular basis. This is the kinda stuff we get-a-lifer types think about, to the exclusion of such things as proper hygiene, layin' off the carbs, and gettin' a girlfriend...

'Late

All of the figures in this set have been released previously in one form or another. Hasbro is quite lazy when it comes to new sculpts, and when they get around to new things, they are impossible to find.

Each figure has pretty good detailing, limited articulation and crummy plastic. The figures bend way too easily. The least they could do is make their rehashes better quality than the originals.

I would suggest picking up the figures individually for less the this one gift set. You'll get better figures and you'll save a few dollars as well.

Star Wars games, the portable ones in particular, are usually horrible. They suffer from a number of problems, and seem like they were rushed onto the market just so that George Lucas could make a quick buck off of his now legendary film series. For shame, George. How does Yoda Stories, for the Game Boy Color, measure up? Read on and find out.

PROS:
-IT'S AN ORIGINAL TRILOGY GAME, SO THERE'S NO JAR JAR! YAY! That's about it for the good things I have to say about this game.

CONS:
-THE ANIMATION IS INEXCUSABLY BAD. Every time you take a step, your character just appears on the next space over - It's not animated at all! And this is only where the problems begin.
-GAME PLAY IS SLUGGISH AND UNRESPONSIVE. You attack with your lightsaber, but the attack button is very slow to respond. In fact, sometimes when I pushed the button, nothing happened at all!
-THIS THE WORST STAR WARS GAME EVER. I've played some bad ones before, but this one just takes the cake. It's obvious Lucas Arts was more concerned with George's desire to make a fast buck than by their own desires to create an excellent portable game, and this cost them dearly.

OVERALL:
Pathetic. Godawful. Hunk of junk. Whatever bad word you use to describe this game works - it's a piece of garbage with no redeeming values. Shame on you, George Lucas, for your desire to rack in the cash from your fans.

Yoda Stories is one of the worst Game Boy Color titles I have played to date. This game is almost a step back from its modern counterparts. It's simplistic, colorless backgrounds and characters during gameplay belong on the Gameboy's original yellow screen. Another shortcoming of this title is the gameplay control. The player's character, Luke Skywalker is made to walk extremely sloppy. Many gameplayers will find it quite difficult to maneuver Luke into a doorway or around a hazard. The screen appears to "jump" every time Luke moves in any direction, which can get quite frustrating when trying to concentrate during an important battle. The only thing that makes this game even tolerable is the story-line behind the gameplay. Hardcore Star Wars fans will enjoy playing an integral part in Luke Skywalker's training. However, gamers interested only in something fun to pass the time should buy something else-like Zelda DX or Spy Vs Spy-both are excellent little amusements.

when i played this at my friends house, i thought "hey, the movies are good, the game sounds pretty fun!" but then i turned it on... "wait a minute! kyle, i move so slow and i cant...control...myself...what the heck is that? my character is...a.....blob! must...turn...it off....so i did, and i told my friend never ever bring it over again. a word of caution: if u don't want a handful of frustration, confusion, and difficulty, DONT GET THIS GAME!!

I hate this game, it makes me want to kill myself.

Imagine a 10-hour, black-and-white version of Star Wars in which Luke Skywalker gets hopelessly lost in every scene, and you'll have a good idea of what this game is like.

Beyond this games [bad] graphics, it is a pretty good game. It would be nice if you could save it. I do think you should buy this game. It is very fun.

It's ok. The SNES game is way better. Very hard. No saving, no codes.

Be aware, this is not the OTC carded figure. It is a small figure shrink wrapped onto a cut yellow card. Very expensive for a practically loose figure. Item can be found much cheaper somewhere else. Or, just save your money and buy it on the new OTC packaging in September.

I agree with all the bad reviews. Oversized head, expression like a butch on a bad day, minimal articulation, padded outfit than you can't take off without damaging, really dumb bulky helmet. IMPOSSIBLE to believe this represents a fast, lithe killer rather than a stiff zombie guard.

However, the sniper rifle (Lucas' usual sf version of generic WWII look) is high quality, and the boots are not bad for female action figures a little larger than Barbie. All depends on what you want her for.

This has got to be the UGLIEST thing i have ever, ever seen!!!! I wanted to by the dumb thing, take of her outfit and put it on a nice looking doll and display that! But...I found out that her arms were painted purple! Now that is just plain wrong. Why even make the despicable thing! I swear, whoever made this is like a 2 yr old child trying to copy a Michalangelo picture or something!!!! They just plain got it alllllll wrong!
Trust me - i read all of the other reviews.... all of those people were right! Don't waist your time and money on this despicable piece of junk! go buy your self lunch or somethin!

From the depths of tragically constructed figures comes this version of Zam Wessel, complete with gargantuan cranial proportions and an outfit constructed of semi-durable fibers and the greatest gift to mankind - plastic! That's right, and if you act now you'll also receive something with less articulation than a Barbie Doll and a uniform that has been airbrushed on! O, and did I mention the mention the two pounds of material surrounding the brainpan?

This figure has to be the saddest of the sad and the only one not to grace the hollowed halls of 12" Bounty Hunters for me. I say this because of the above-mentioned flaws, plus the fact that the shape-shifting "mask" she has with her looks absolutely dreadful when its placed upon the head that is three times larger than the body that has to carry such a burden. These flaws pretty much negate the fact that she has some interesting additions in the way of weaponry, armor, a decent looking - albeit oversized - helmet, and a few other accessories to add to the list.

If you think you must buy this atrocious thing, then at least take a look at the larger pictures of it before making your decision. It is, in a word, vile, and you won't be happy with the beast. Forewarned is forearmed.

Should be 0 stars. This thing's sounds are way lower then all the other light sabers. My friend got one too and it sounded just like mine with brand new batteries. The blade loosened after a few strikes, it odnes come out but its very anoying. The top piece of blade occasionally falls off. When in a lightsaber lock, the blade often bends right in half. The clash sound sounds more like metal scrapping a cement floor. Each clash leaves a large white mark on it. Dont buy this. here aer the good and bad light sabers. Good Light sabers: Anikan-ObiWan-Quigon-AOTC Orange-Luke's- Mace Windu Light Sabers That break To easy!: Vaders-Darthmaul- Yodas- dookus, The Good light sabers are durable and long lasting. Out of those bad light sabers. Dooku's is worst. You have to take 6 screws out to get batterys in. The others you unscrew top like a flash light. You often strip the screws in dooku's light saber. The handle comes loose to often and you have always turn it back or tape the damn thing.

Best lightsaber: Anikens. ive had it for a year and a half. its my favorite. it has about 200 white marks and scratches and battle scars on it. Top piece comes out very rarely. The lights and sounding are still perfect on it. The blade is just barely loose. this is after 1 year and a half of use. And me and my kids are always light saber dueling. I always use anikens. One of my kids uses 2 quigons, one in each hand. other kid uses Darth maul light saber. I just bought it since our first one broke. Its holding together so far. But if you want a lgiht saber. Buy anikens
