Pros: Fun kid game, requires some thinking and problem solving skills. Has a lot more levels to play than the Lego Indiana Jones and Batman games.
Cons: No online play like PS3 and 360, but that might be more Nintendo's fault. Like some other Wii games the motion control through movement of the Wii remote seems to be lacking.
Other Thoughts: This is just a collection of the previous two Lego Star Wars games from other systems. So you're not missing much if you already have those. A very fun game none-the-less.

What a piece of...
Pros: It's Star Wars and it's Lego.
Cons: Uh, Everything. It's almost impossible to control your character. Shooting is purely random. The camera is often in the worst location. The other characters get in your way, and may even push you to your death. The vehicle levels give you almost no idea what your objectives are.
Other Thoughts: Near the end of the escape from Death Star level, there's a room where Stormtroopers continue to respawn. You have to build a door, but if you get shot, your building resets. And you're constantly getting shot. You can shut the doors on the Troopers, but by the time you close the second door, the first one is open again.

Awesome game
Pros: My kids play this non stop. I like the fact that its not a short game that can be finished in a few days. There seems to be a lot of fun stuff here and it goes through every episode of the series. My boys, 6 and 3, love it. I enjoy jumping in and playing for a while as well. The cut scenes are very funny at spoofing the movies.
Cons: Yes the camera angle in 2 player mode can sometimes be annoying but you deal with it, not a big deal. The only real con is that I didn't buy this for the kids (who are we kidding, me!) sooner!

Surprisingly Fun
Pros: Two things I love, Star Wars and Legos. There's a double nostalgia factor, recognizing lego pieces used in creative ways, and remembering the movies. It's of course an abridged version of Star Wars with lego gags cut into the scenes like C3PO's head being chopped off and you just see the lego stump left, or padawin Obi-Wan having difficulty turning on his lightsaber as Quai-gon takes everyone out.
It's fun for two people, and the levels seem designed for multi-player in the story mode. Which is a rarity in games. Plus since it's all six episodes plus tons of bonus levels, you feel like you're getting a full game's worth out of the price.
Cons: The Camera. When two players are playing, and the second character falls out of the camera range, the second player gets knocked out of the game. This also make the second player switch to another npc, sometimes in rapid succession, and confuses the second player: "Oh, how did I become that guy? What's going on?" The camera focus is too narrow so you can't both explore the same room in different places. You can't change the camera angle. There's a cinematic angle level with and Anakin and Obi-Wan running toward the camera so you can get the full effect of the explosions behind them. The camera angle makes it nearly impossible to tell where you are running. We beat this level by having one player drop out to minimize the chance of stepping into a hole.
Other Thoughts: Competing with friends for points is fun, because in the end it's the total of both players so it's cooperative competition. Many times we'll just hack at each other and then seconds later cooperating by having one stand on a block while the other force moves it up to more money. The 1,000,000 point challenges take a long time and you don't get to keep the money, FYI, but they are a fun diversion from the linear story levels.

Sooo much fun
Pros: This is by far my favorite Wii game to date. There are so many levels that you will be playing this game a long time. I think I have 20% done and I have about 10 hours on the game so far. There is a variety of levels with and with out vehicles. The unlockable levels are a fun bonus.
Cons: Two player can be annoying if you are trying to collect all the Lego studs for points and one player keeps dying. The stages are passable in one player, but you have to puzzle out how to get your Wii controlled player to act.
Other Thoughts: You get to kill Jar Jar Binks over and over…

I love this game
Pros: I've actually taken time off from work to play this game! It's addicting, especially if you've seen and enjoyed the Star Wars series. I enjoy being able to fight using the lightsaber as well as use the abilities of other characters. Special levels within each stage adds to the replability.
Cons: The amount of levels is daunting and can be a turn off for those not in it for the long haul. I've completed 2 episodes and I've only completed 12% of the entire saga. Not to mention if you have to go back using special characters, you'll be at it for a while. There are some levels that require 2 players to beat, ie. fighting Count Dooku.
Other Thoughts: Overall the game isn't too difficult, my 8 yr old enjoys playing it with me. She won't play it on her own, because some portions are a bit complicated to figure out on her own. It gets to be a bit of button smashing as you get into major battles, but that can be used to release tension! Recommend for ages 8-13 and 27-Yoda age!

FUN!!!
Pros: What a great game! I've had my Wii for about 6 weeks now and this is up there with MEtroid Prime for playability. It is quite different though. THe hand to hand fighting is intuitive and overall the combat coordination is excellent. The Multi-player really makes this one of the most enjoyable games I've played yet. Nice graphics and sound, I don't run 480, just s-video and I'm very fine with it. I'll take good content over 1080 graphics anyday. I'm about 10% through, not really trying to get every item possible in about 5 hours of playtime.
Cons: The overhead camera angle is sometimes constricting.
Other Thoughts: The combination of the Lego with the gameplay keeps the mood light and funny and the fact the the dead just fall into pieces seriously reduces the violence level.
