LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is finally out in the world, and fans are loving it.
Though the game isn't perfect, fans are calling it the best game out there right now for true Star Wars fans, and the dedication to the details and little quirks of the films are clear. It's a loving return to form for the series, with all-new combat systems and open-world segments that truly make the game's many planets feel alive.
But, it might not be to everyone's taste - especially the film's cast, as one cast member hates a meme that has been included.
A Meme That Mark Hamill Doesn't Like Has Made It To Lego Star Wars
In typical LEGO Star Wars fashion, The Skywalker Saga steers into the silly and slapstick side of humour - but in doing so, it has included a gag that Mark Hamill admits makes him cringe.
The game includes a scene from A New Hope, in which Ben Kenobi introduces Luke to the world of the Jedi, and gives him the lightsaber that belonged to his father. Many memes have come of this scene - especially an image that sees Hamill staring straight down the front of the lightsaber, meaning that if it were turned on, it'd kill him instantly.
The scene has made it into the game, in a sequence that sees the LEGO version of Skywalker stare down the barrel, shaking it to see what comes out.
Mark Hamill - Lightsaber Meme "Makes Me Cringe"
After being tweeted a version of the meme that has come to LEGO Star Wars, Mark Hamill has spoken out on how much he dislikes it.
"This makes me cringe every time I see it," he says in a quote tweet. "I don't remember doing this in the movie. I think it's just an on-set production still, otherwise Obi-Wan wouldn't look so remarkably unconcerned."
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga seems to have pleased most, except Luke Skywalker himself. You can't please everyone, but then again, maybe the cast of the original films that the game is based on should be on board, eh?
