You're more or less playing as Cowboy Poe, and it's a very fun use of the character and twist on the LEGO Star Wars experience. " Blowback Town itself is no stranger to frontier trouble spilling onto its doorstep, so we thought it would make sense to take heavy inspiration from Old West boom towns - and that the Strus Clan should take inspiration from Old West bandits," says Kellogg. "You'll see wide-brimmed hats and high-tech ventilators to help with the desert air atop tanned leather costumes for the same practical reasons you would in a spaghetti Western." It's like a mini-Western in the middle of a LEGO Star Wars game. Once you get to Blowback Town, you'll find that the Strus Clan has essentially taken over. Poe's Quest for Survival features all-new dialogue recorded by Oscar Isaac just for the level.Ĥ. Who talks first? Oscar Isaac! Being that this is a Poe story, it would only be fitting that the man himself voice the role. No one, of course, is a better pilot than Poe - but Naka is able to guide him ably through the Strus Clan traps and Jakku's dry, dusty chasms." Plus, remember those sinking sands that Rey warned BB-8 about? You'll have to avoid them in the level's don't-blink speeder chase.ģ. "Hence, players will find that he's excellent using his desert speeder's mounted turret. "We presume Naka has dealt with the Strus Clan before and that he's a capable survivalist," Kellogg continues. "If Teedo or ripper-raptors doesn't get to them first." All these elements combined to inform gameplay, action set pieces, and character abilities. " The Strus Clan is a crime syndicate that shakes down vulnerable travelers on the road between places like this," Kellogg explains. "Rather than farms and dusty old cantinas, Jakku's economy has sprung from the valuable wreckage strewn about the surface left over from the Battle of Jakku." As such, it has settlements like Blowback Town that risen around the "junk" economy - as well as baddies like the Strus Clan, who try to squeeze the hardworking townspeople. " This was very important for us to reinforce with our audience: Jakku is its own character and it has its own rich history," Kellogg says. It further establishes what kind of place Jakku is. While there's another famous desert planet in Star Wars, Jakku is much different in terms of culture and population. That's about all we know from the book - so we had a great time asking ourselves questions about what that journey might have looked like."Ģ. "Naka escorts him back to Blowback Town so he can touch base with the Resistance. " For this story, an awfully thirsty Poe Dameron is found in the Goazan Badlands by the Blarina scavenger Naka Iit," explains Kellogg. By taking the book's morsels on how he survived, the game designers were able to craft their own adventure tale and further develop the world of Jakku. The springboard for Poe's Quest for Survival was some basic info from the Force Awakens novelization about how Poe got back to the Resistance.
This is no mere bonus level, however this is a significant addition that tells how our favorite Resistance pilot survived his crash on Jakku, and is complete with a chase through previously unseen areas on the desert planet, a Blaster Battle sequence with its own unique feel, and the introduction of some charming new friends and deadly foes. played through the DLC and then caught up with producer Orion Kellogg, discovering some behind-the-scenes details and six reasons why it's essential.ġ. And now it's expanding with Poe's Quest for Survival, new DLC available today for console versions of the game. It's one of the great modern Star Wars games altogether. With major gameplay enhancements (including thrilling duck-and-cover shooting, dubbed Blaster Battles), smart puzzles (who knew Maz's castle had that many secrets?), and legitimately funny jokes peppered throughout (Kylo Ren's bedroom covered in Darth Vader posters being a personal favorite), LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens isn't just a great LEGO Star Wars game. talks with producer Orion Kellogg about why this new DLC is a must-play.
