Why Lego II is Such a Stupid Game
LEGO Star Wars II is, in essence, a really stupid game. It is corny and childish. The drama is silly and the comedy is really not funny. Yet why do I laugh at every single stupid joke. They don't even talk!! Careless driving, kissing jokes, and mindless Lego violence. It creates such a strange combination of totally antagonistic concepts. And what does it create? A game that makes you laugh no matter how much you don't want to.

And besides that, you can walk around and randomly shoot someone! What does that teach our children? That all disputes can be solved/caused by randomly shooting/punching/slapping/zapping/choking/de-limbing random people? Regardless, it is mildly satisfying. For instance, when you're Palpatine, you can just go up to someone and lift them of the ground with a stream of lightning. That would be his upside. Of course, he also happens to be the only character who makes sound (cackling laughter) and he does it EVERY TWO SECONDS! Annoyance? I think that's an understatement.

Regardless, I enjoy Lego II, even if it is a silly, immature, stupid, idiotic, and corny.
