First of all, I love Lego Star Wars but have never owned it. My PC refuses to run it due to pixel shader being absent so I have been restricted to going to a friend's house to play it. I own no game systems except the DS. The concept of putting the game on a handheld is awesome, but it just failed with The Original Trilogy DS. A combination of terrible glitches and the lack of what made the console versions so charming just messed it up. I will admit that I enjoyed it to an extent, but it was a letdown and the console version that eluded me was driving me insane, mocking me. Well, now in a few more days, we'll be getting what many say is the real deal. Previews, hands-on, the whole thing. All evidence points to this game being a winner. Only now do I see that is a possibility. If you go to the official game page, and then surf to the DS version, we are treated to about a minute of the DS game in action:

Just head over to the DS page when you get there. My computer is old and almost exploded trying to load the vid, but it was worth it. Why? Here's why:
1: am about 95% sure it's the full console game with both trilogies.
2: new engine that seems both smooth, beautiful, and hopefully glitch-free (it's hard to tell, however)
3: both games in one!
4: touch screen lighsaber action!
5: fun-looking vehicle minigames
I sincerely hope this is the real deal. I want the levels, charm, and just plain coolness that was lost in the last DS game. We'll see in about 2 days! I wonder whether the cutscenes are played using the game's engine, or by use of full-motion video. Any comments? And please tell me I'm not alone in my love of Lego Star Wars!
