Presto Magix! Return of the Jedi!!
One of the games I grabbed for the newly purchased XBox 360 was Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. I thought “cool, I get to play through both sets of trilogies, the sucky one and then the good one!” So I make it all the way to Episode VI, Return of the Jedi and allofasudden…
