It is Star Wars as you have never seen it before, and it will blow your mind. Each character’s appearance in Episode 1 is increasingly reminiscent of something from a Japanese anime.
While your character is navigating the various familiar environments, such as Tatooine, the underwater hamlet Otoh Gunga, and a droid control ship in orbit over Naboo, they will have access to various weaponry and power-ups that are strewn about the tracks. They will also have the ability to do actions that are unique to them. Jar-Jar, for instance, uses his tongue to hold onto anyone in front of him so that he may catch up, while Darth Maul throws his lightsaber with a double edge as a highly lethal weapon.
Additionally, look for enemies and anything that could obstruct your path down the route. Some could be helpful, while others could be highly aggravating.
