LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game is a video game inspired by the LEGO Star Wars series of toys created by The Lego Group. This game offers a reimagining of the prequel trilogy that is considered non-canon (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith), in addition to a special bonus stage that draws from the beginning of A New Hope.
Traveller's Tales and Giant Entertainment took on the roles of developer and publisher for the Xbox, PlayStation_2, and Windows platforms. Meanwhile, Griptonite Games was responsible for the Game Boy Advance (GBA) version. Eidos Interactive released the Game Boy Advance rendition on April 2, 2005. Later, in August 2005, Aspyr brought it to the Apple Macintosh, followed by a GameCube release in October. A version for cell phones was also made available.
Marketed towards children, LEGO Star Wars surprisingly reached the top position in the UK charts in early May 2005. It was eventually overtaken by the official game of Episode III, yet it maintained a high ranking throughout the remainder of the month.
By 2018, LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game had achieved sales exceeding 6.1 million units, with the PlayStation 2 edition being the most popular.
The Trade Federation disrupts the Galactic Republic's stability through a blockade of Naboo, setting the stage for a large-scale invasion. Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum, the Republic's leader, sends Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, to negotiate terms with Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray. Darth Sidious, a Sith Lord secretly supporting the Trade Federation, orders the Viceroy to eliminate the Jedi and commence the invasion using a battle droid army. The Jedi manage to escape and head to Naboo. During the invasion, Qui-Gon rescues Jar Jar Binks, a Gungan outcast. In gratitude, Jar Jar guides the Jedi to Otoh Gunga, the Gungans' underwater city. Despite failing to convince Boss Nass, the Gungan leader, to aid the surface dwellers, the Jedi secure Jar Jar's assistance and underwater transport to Theed, Naboo's capital. After rescuing Queen Padmé Amidala, the group flees Naboo aboard her Royal Starship, aiming for Coruscant, the Republic's capital.
While navigating the Federation blockade, the ship sustains damage, disabling its hyperdrive. The group makes an emergency landing on Tatooine, a remote desert planet outside Republic jurisdiction, for repairs. Qui-Gon, Jar Jar, astromech droid R2-D2, and Padmé—disguised as a handmaiden—visit Mos Espa to acquire a replacement hyperdrive part. They encounter Watto, a junk dealer, and Anakin Skywalker, his nine-year-old slave, who is a skilled pilot and engineer and has constructed a protocol droid, C-3PO. Qui-Gon senses a strong Force presence within Anakin, believing him to be the "Chosen One" prophesied to restore balance to the Force. When Watto refuses Republic currency, Qui-Gon wagers the hyperdrive part and Anakin's freedom in a podrace. Anakin wins, joining the group for Jedi training, leaving his mother, Shmi, behind. En route to their starship, Darth Maul, Sidious' apprentice, attacks Qui-Gon, aiming to capture Amidala. After a brief lightsaber duel, Qui-Gon escapes with the others.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan escort Padmé to Coruscant, where she intends to present her people's case to Valorum and the Galactic Senate. Qui-Gon seeks the Jedi Council's approval to train Anakin, but they deny his request, fearing Anakin's vulnerability to the dark side. Undeterred, Qui-Gon resolves to train Anakin as his apprentice. Meanwhile, Senator Palpatine of Naboo convinces Amidala to call for a vote of no confidence in Valorum, aiming to elect a more effective leader to resolve the crisis. Although she succeeds in pushing for the vote, Amidala becomes disillusioned with the Senate's corruption and decides to return to Naboo. The Jedi Council orders Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to accompany the queen and investigate the resurgence of the Sith, believed extinct for over a millennium.
On Naboo, Padmé reveals her true identity to the Gungans to earn their trust and persuades them to join the fight against the Trade Federation. Jar Jar is promoted to general and leads his tribe in battle against the droid army, while Padmé seeks out Gunray in Theed. Qui-Gon instructs Anakin to hide in a starfighter with R2 in the hangar, but Anakin accidentally activates the autopilot and flies into space, participating in the battle against the Federation droid control ship. He inadvertently destroys it from within, deactivating the droid army. Maul, sent by Darth Sidious to capture Amidala, engages Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in a lightsaber duel. He fatally wounds Qui-Gon but is bisected by Obi-Wan, falling down a shaft. Before dying, Qui-Gon asks Obi-Wan to train Anakin.
Following the battle, Gunray is arrested by the Republic, and Palpatine is elected Chancellor. Master Yoda promotes Obi-Wan to Jedi Knight and reluctantly accepts Anakin as Obi-Wan's apprentice. A funeral is held for Qui-Gon, attended by the Jedi, who recognize the continued presence of the Sith. During a celebratory parade on Naboo, Padmé presents a gift of gratitude to the Gungans, establishing peace.
On Naboo, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan rescue Jar-Jar Binks from being trampled by an MTT as the Trade Federation advances toward Theed. In return for his rescue, Jar-Jar assists them in reaching Otoh Gunga to meet with Boss Nass, the Gungan leader, to request aid for the people of Naboo.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan proceed to Theed, aiming to prevent the Trade Federation from seizing control. Queen Amidala and her bodyguard, Captain Panaka, join them to escape Theed Palace and flee Naboo.
A decade after the battle on Naboo, the Galactic Republic faces a Separatist threat led by former Jedi Master Count Dooku. Senator Padmé Amidala arrives on Coruscant to vote on a motion to create an army to support the Jedi. After surviving an assassination attempt, she is placed under the protection of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker. They foil a second attempt on Padmé's life and capture the assassin, Zam Wesell, who is then killed by her employer, a bounty hunter, before revealing his identity. The Jedi Council instructs Obi-Wan to find the bounty hunter, while Anakin is assigned to protect Padmé and escort her back to Naboo, where they fall in love, despite the Jedi Code's prohibition of relationships.
Obi-Wan's investigation leads him to Kamino, a mysterious ocean planet, where he discovers a clone army being produced for the Republic under the name of Sifo Dyas, a deceased Jedi Master, with Jango Fett serving as the genetic template. Obi-Wan meets Jango, who reveals that the clones were commissioned by a man named Tyranus. Obi-Wan identifies Jango as the bounty hunter and, after a brief confrontation, places a tracking device on Jango's ship, Slave I. He follows Jango and his clone son, Boba, to Geonosis. Meanwhile, Anakin is troubled by visions of his mother, Shmi, in distress and decides to return to Tatooine with Padmé to rescue her. Watto reveals that he sold Shmi to moisture farmer Cliegg Lars, who freed and married her. Cliegg informs Anakin that Tusken Raiders abducted her weeks earlier and that she is likely dead. Determined to find his mother, Anakin locates her at the Tusken camp, barely alive. After she dies in his arms, Anakin, enraged, massacres the tribe. He later tells Padmé that he will find a way to prevent the deaths of those he loves.
On Geonosis, Obi-Wan uncovers a Separatist gathering led by Count Dooku, who is developing a droid army with Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray and who ordered the attempts on Padmé's life. Obi-Wan transmits his findings to the Jedi Council but is captured by Separatist droids. Dooku meets Obi-Wan in his cell, explaining his role in the Confederacy of Independent Systems' formation and implying that much of the Galactic Senate is under the control of Darth Sidious, his new master. He invites Obi-Wan to join him and stop the Dark Lord of the Sith, claiming that Obi-Wan's late master, Qui-Gon Jinn, would have agreed. When Obi-Wan refuses, Dooku claims that Obi-Wan's late master and Dooku's former apprentice Qui-Gon Jinn would have, had he been alive. Meanwhile, Senate Representative Jar Jar Binks proposes a successful vote to grant emergency powers to Chancellor Palpatine, authorizing the clone army.
Anakin and Padmé travel to Geonosis to rescue Obi-Wan, but Anakin loses his lightsaber and they are captured by Jango. Dooku sentences the trio to death, but they are rescued by a battalion of clone troopers led by Yoda, Mace Windu, and other Jedi. Windu kills Jango during the battle. Obi-Wan and Anakin confront Dooku in a lightsaber duel. Dooku injures Obi-Wan and severs Anakin's right arm, but Yoda intervenes. Dooku uses the Force to distract Yoda and escapes to Coruscant, where he delivers the plans for a super-weapon to Sidious, who addresses him as Darth Tyranus. The Council is disturbed by Dooku's claim of Sidious controlling the Senate. As the Jedi acknowledge the beginning of the Clone Wars, Anakin receives a robotic hand and marries Padmé on Naboo, with C-3PO and R2-D2 as witnesses.
Above Coruscant, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker spearhead a mission to rescue Supreme Chancellor Palpatine from General Grievous, the Separatist cyborg commander. After infiltrating Grievous' flagship, the Jedi engage Sith Lord Count Dooku in combat. Anakin gains the upper hand and, at Palpatine's urging, decapitates Dooku. Grievous flees the battle-damaged ship, which the Jedi crash-land on Coruscant.
Anakin is reunited with his wife, Padmé Amidala, who reveals she is pregnant. Initially overjoyed, Anakin is soon plagued by nightmares of Padmé dying in childbirth. Palpatine appoints Anakin to the Jedi Council as his personal representative. The Council, wary of Palpatine, approves the appointment but denies Anakin the rank of Jedi Master, instructing him to spy on Palpatine, which erodes Anakin's trust in the Jedi.
Darth Sidious, the Sith Lord masterminding the war, appoints Grievous as the new Separatist leader and orders him to relocate the Separatist Council to Mustafar, a volcanic planet. Obi-Wan travels to Utapau, where he eliminates Grievous, and Yoda journeys to Kashyyyk, the Wookiee homeworld, to defend it from a Separatist invasion. Meanwhile, Palpatine tempts Anakin with his knowledge of the Force, including the power to prevent death, offering to teach him to save Padmé's life. Anakin realizes that Palpatine is Sidious and reports his treachery to Mace Windu, who confronts and subdues him. Desperate to save Padmé, Anakin intervenes, severing Windu's hand before he can kill Palpatine, who then sends Windu to his death. Anakin pledges himself to the Sith, and Palpatine knights him Darth Vader.
Palpatine then issues Order 66, commanding the clone troopers to eliminate their Jedi commanders, decimating the Jedi Order. Vader and a battalion of clone troopers then kill the remaining Jedi in the Jedi Temple, after which Vader travels to Mustafar to assassinate the Separatist leaders. Palpatine declares himself Emperor before the Galactic Senate, transforming the Republic into the Galactic Empire and denouncing the Jedi as traitors. Having survived the chaos, Obi-Wan and Yoda return to Coruscant and learn of Anakin's fall to the dark side. Yoda orders Obi-Wan to confront Vader while he faces Palpatine.
Upon learning of Anakin's treachery, Padmé travels to Mustafar—with Obi-Wan secretly aboard her ship—and pleads with Vader to renounce the dark side, but he refuses. Sensing Obi-Wan's presence and believing they are conspiring against him, Vader angrily uses the Force to strangle Padmé into unconsciousness. Obi-Wan then engages Vader in a lightsaber duel, resulting in Obi-Wan severing Vader's legs and left arm. Obi-Wan retrieves Vader's lightsaber and leaves him for dead near a lava flow.
On Coruscant, Yoda battles Palpatine until their duel reaches a stalemate. Yoda then flees with Senator Bail Organa and regroups with Obi-Wan and Padmé on Polis Massa. There, Padmé gives birth to twins, Luke and Leia, and dies soon after, having lost her will to live. On Mustafar, Palpatine retrieves a barely alive Vader and takes him to Coruscant, where his mutilated body is treated and encased in a black armored suit. Palpatine informs him that he killed Padmé in a fit of rage, devastating Vader.
Obi-Wan and Yoda devise a plan to conceal the twins from the Sith and go into exile until the time is right to challenge the Empire. As Padmé's funeral takes place on Naboo, Palpatine and Vader oversee the construction of the Death Star. Bail takes Leia to Alderaan, where he and his wife adopt her, while Obi-Wan delivers Luke to his step-uncle and aunt, Owen and Beru Lars, on Tatooine before going into exile to watch over the boy.

The game offers a roster of 59 playable characters. Each character, designed to resemble LEGO pieces (but with enhanced agility), possesses unique abilities. All Jedi and Sith characters exhibit distinct lightsaber combat styles and can utilize the Force to solve specific puzzles. Any unlocked character can be found wandering in Dexter's Diner, the hub area for selecting levels, with the exception of the Droideka.
LEGO Star Wars also includes a "Free Play" mode, which allows players to replay levels with the ability to switch between previously unavailable characters. This enables access to areas containing extras and minikits that were initially inaccessible. While any unlocked character can be used in Free Play, this mode is only available after completing the level in story mode. Vehicle-based levels cannot be played in Free Play. Certain characters, such as Chancellor Palpatine, the PK droid, and the Gonk Droid, are limited to walking, but non-violent droids, including protocol droids and astromech droids, are immune to enemy attacks. Playing as a Clone character prevents attacks from other Clones in Defense of Kashyyyk, and playing as a battle droid (of any kind) provides immunity from other battle droids.

The game contains a total of eighteen chapters: six dedicated to The Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith, five for Attack of the Clones, and one for A New Hope. Gameplay largely follows a standard 3D platformer format, with each episode featuring a vehicle-based level. These levels follow a predetermined path and function as on-rails shooters or racing games. In Episodes I and III, this is presented from a third-person, behind-the-vehicle perspective in "Mos Espa Podrace" and "Battle over Coruscant," respectively. In Attack of the Clones for "Gunship Cavalry," the level initially uses an isometric view but switches to behind-the-vehicle during the final segment.

The version of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game for the Game Boy Advance contains some notable differences (largely due to the limitations of the platform), such as a reduced number of playable characters (15, or 23 with cheat codes), a different credit system (silver pieces are worth 1, blue 5, and gold 10 credits), fewer levels (Attack of the Clones only includes three), and the restriction of having only one playable character on the screen at any given time. The cutscenes are still rendered using downscaled versions of those from the home console releases.

When this game was originally released, John Williams hadn't yet put out the soundtrack for Revenge of the Sith, and the official Revenge of the Sith game Revenge of the Sith game was also still in development. Because of this, the music used in all of the Episode III chapters was actually taken from other episodes. For example, the Battle Over Coruscant Level uses music from the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope, and the Darth Vader Level uses music from the Battle of Endor I in Return of the Jedi. This was later updated when the levels were re-released as part of LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga in 2007, and the correct soundtracks were added to each scene during gameplay.

- Antidar Williams and Maoi Madakor are depicted as pilots from the Royal Naboo Security Forces.
- TC-14 joins forces with the Jedi characters.
- The characters Nute Gunray and Rune Haako do not make an appearance.
- In the game, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are together on Naboo, which differs from the film where they are separated at one point.
- In the game, Amidala and Captain Panaka are shown shooting droids in Theed before they return to Naboo, which is not something that happens in the film.
- The scene where the Queen and Panaka shoot out a window on the ledge of the palace takes place during the "Escape from Naboo" level, rather than "Retaking of Theed."
- The game separates the Queen and the Jedi, while they remain together in the film.
- C-3PO is shown fully assembled, even though he's missing his outer plating in the movie.
- Shmi Skywalker is not present in the game.
- Mawhonic crashes during lap 2 of the podrace, instead of lap 1.

- All scenes that take place at the Jedi Temple have been removed.
- In a cutscene that plays right before the Darth Maul duel on Naboo, Padmé is wearing the same outfit that she wore on Tatooine, even though she was previously shown wearing her film outfit during the Battle of Naboo. This was later fixed in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga.
- In the movie, Obi-Wan is separated from Qui-Gon during the fight with Darth Maul. However, in the game, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon remain together, as the game is designed to be played with one or two players. They also have to chase Darth Maul across the hangar, where he sets droids on them.

- All scenes set on Naboo are not included.
- All scenes set on Tatooine are not included (but they are included in the GBA version).

- The Kamino security droids attack Obi-Wan.
- Boba Fett is shown piloting the Slave I, instead of just firing the guns while it is still on the ground.
- The asteroid space battle is not included.

- The three execution creatures, Acklay, Reek, and Nexu, are not included. Instead, a group of Battle Droids guard Anakin, Padmé, and Obi-Wan.
- In the film, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padmé easily free themselves, but in the game, Mace Windu and R2-D2 have to help them.
- Poggle the Lesser is depicted as a regular Geonosian alongside Dooku and Jango Fett.
- After the gunships arrive, Obi-Wan is seen holding a green lightsaber, while Anakin is holding a blue lightsaber.
- Anakin is shown flying the ship instead of a clone.
- The Nantex-class territorial defense starfighter/Legends is not included.
- Most of the Separatist leaders do not appear in the game.
- In the second part of the Count Dooku fight, the two playable characters are Yoda and Obi-Wan. In the film, Yoda fights alone. This was changed to make the game more suitable for co-op play.

- In the film, after rescuing the Chancellor, they are captured and taken to meet Grievous. However, in the game, after defeating Dooku, they go to the bridge and meet him.
- During the duel with Dooku, the Count uses Force lightning and calls in squads of Super Battle Droids.
- In the game, Obi-Wan is not knocked out during the fight.
- In the movie, when Anakin uses cho mai on Count Dooku, both of Dooku's hands are cut off. In the game, only Dooku's right hand is amputated.
- A deleted scene where the Jedi and Chancellor try to find a ship in the upturned Invisible Hand's hangar bay is included. Here, the player has to use the Force and R2-D2 to stop gas leaks.

- On Kashyyyk, the player must rescue 3 Wookiee warriors being held hostage by clone troopers.
- Tarfful is depicted as an ordinary Wookiee.
- Yoda can lift a crashed ARC-170 in a cave on Kashyyyk. This is a reference to Luke's crashed X-wing on Dagobah.

- The only Order 66 scenes take place on Kashyyyk and Coruscant.
- The Palpatine arrest scene is not included.

- Anakin's killing of the Separatist Council is not included.
- The duel between Palpatine and Yoda in the Senate is not included.

- The Mustafar lava arm is apparently broken into three pieces, with one still attached to the mining facility, one sinking gradually, and one almost completely submerged.
- Darth Vader's lightsaber changes from blue to red in the last cutscene during the duel on Mustafar. This may be a sign to players that Anakin is turned to the dark side, for red is the usual lightsaber color for Sith .
- Anakin and Obi-Wan's duel on Mustafar is very different from the movie. Anakin tries to escape from Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan chases him. Then, the two of them have to briefly team up to escape a lot of falling platforms and have to stop the control room from collapsing. Then, the duel takes place on the big rock, whilst in the movie Anakin is injured trying to jump to it. The background music is The Battle of Endor I from Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi .
- Bail Organa is not included.
