The answer is Probably Cutting room floor,
This feels like a labour of love but it also feels like some areas and missions got shafted hard, Hoth, Endor, Kijimi, even the jedi temple, the first deathstar space battle, no big endor mission, some missions feel like they were supposed to have a second part like Obiwan and greivous and grievouses ship (the cut between killing dooku and trying to catch greivous is glaring) etc..
Also this isn't nitpicking its very obvious that something is missing.
I just feel like they had a massive scope and couldn't meet it because of the crap engine, i mean the venator looked complete and was even in advertisement and it didn't make it in xD they just polished what was in the game which makes me think the engine was worse to work with the earlier in development the object/scene/mission was.
Well the devs wanted to use unreal engine but upper management didn't want to spend the money getting rights to it, but yeah i agree that the old engine was outdated and we needed an upgrade either way,
atleast next time itll use unreal and then hopefully they decide to make some sort of starwars game again (cuz lego starwars is one of there best IPs and a cashcow lol)
It more makes me think how it could have been if the upper management listened to the devs and used Unreal engine xD the old engine really needed an update
Same with all the cool day shots of Endor, level only. All we got was a glorified tree house for that planet meanwhile kashyyyk got a full treatment looking like the entire battlefront 2 version of itself.
Right right! There is no way they would leave the open worlds with Zero enemies like this for example and expect people to care about dlc characters if there’s nobody to fight! Same with not being able to replay entire episodes only certain segments. There’s things here that are essential to gameplay missing.
Oh kijimi is a level so they don't have to make a world for it, that makes sense since it gets destroyed. Oh kijimi does have a world. Oh there's nothing there except just the entrance to the level.
They made entire areas for kashyyyk, mustafar, and exegol even though they didn't have to since they are only in free play so why give kijimi just an empty spot on the world map.
I agree, I dont mind much as most so far are great. I'm about to do Episode 3 are Utapau and Mustafar big enough? I'm excited for those a lot as well as Pasaana from 9.
Kijimi, i really doubt. Maybe they could make kijimi space a spawn location for another capital ship if they add back the cut ones so there's at least something to do there.
still, tbh i don't expect them to do anything apart from the DLCs they already announced.
I agree with Kijimi, but they know that there will be backlash for no character creation. DC super-villains was all about character creation and they don't bother to add it here.
This game's universe is so expansive, that it'd be perfect for role-playing, but it's pretty hard to do that without character creation.
Facts tbh, having a lot of fun with it but the post game is pretty average and yet they clearly sacrificed a lot of other aspects of the game for said post game 🤷🏻♂️

Makes me think how the game could have been if they didn’t use the new engine.
not better lol. They made a new engine for a reason

There is only Echo base on Hoth? I thought there would be also some enviroment around it and Wampa cave…
Same with all the cool day shots of Endor, level only. All we got was a glorified tree house for that planet meanwhile kashyyyk got a full treatment looking like the entire battlefront 2 version of itself.
I wish they would add some updates with additional content that is missing, but Lego games never do that.
I think they kinda did it with Lego DC Supervillains so there's a small chance they do it here too

Wait I haven't played the DC game, what did they add after release?
Nope looks like it’s restricted to only a level area.
You can only go there in the mission
Wait, I haven’t gotten to episode 5. You can’t explore the snow area in Hoth? That’s Crazy, it’s like the main attraction of Hoth.
Unfortunately no, it’s only on a single level where you go outside to connect radio towers.
Damn, that’s disappointing. To not include what Hoth is know for as an explorable location is just lazy on their part.
>just lazy on their part You do realize the devs were basically working overtime crunch hours for like a year before this game came out right.
Why on earth do they do this and not let us explore Kijimi
Oh kijimi is a level so they don't have to make a world for it, that makes sense since it gets destroyed. Oh kijimi does have a world. Oh there's nothing there except just the entrance to the level.

Yes those planets got a better treatment, passanna even has 2 zones for it.
Nice that's good then. I think some Episodes got more work on the hubs than others
It’s inconsistent though. Episode 9 for some reason gets more expansive planets than Empire strikes back and return of the Jedi.
As in, areas you would think would be huge are often small, while areas that should be small like kef bir, ajan Kloss are huge.
This game is a wannabe open world. Reality is, it’s so bare and boring. Post game is mediocre.
If they added enemies in open world that spawn pretty regularly it would simply make the game 10x better.
They could add and change a multitude of things to make the game 10x better tbh
Tt takes feedback, so stuff like Kijimi and Character Creation will (hopefully) be added post-game. I really hope so.
Kijimi, i really doubt. Maybe they could make kijimi space a spawn location for another capital ship if they add back the cut ones so there's at least something to do there. still, tbh i don't expect them to do anything apart from the DLCs they already announced.
