A poor game cashing in on the poor cartoon that cashed in on StarWars. George Lucas sure knows how to milk an idea.
It is a mess of a game. Side scrolling 'action' with icon controls and extremely twee sub-games. I suspect it was aimed at younger players, but I can't see anyone getting much fun out of this.
There is evidence of some slick coding, and an icon that makes C3PO fart on R2D2, this is all that stopped me giving it 1/5.

Was there a show titled "Star Wars Droids"? I didn't know that, but it must have been really wonderful, judging by the game.

Anyway, it's strange affair, an action game all based on icons, similarly to the stuff Psygnosis was releasing at the time, only way more basic. You control R2D2 and C3PO or whatever their names were in the original movie, and you must move horizontally along some cave or corridor while shooting at swarms of robots and stuff. It's not even totally unplayable, just uninspiring, and the icons are not the best way to face the action.

Sometimes you find a computer and you must connect the R2D2 to it and solve a puzzle to eliminate some barrier that closes the way.

2/5
