Dawnhold - Lego Star Wars Ii

The objective? "Console Him."

Before The Skywalker Saga and its sprawling open worlds, before The Complete Saga ironed out the glitches, there was a strange, purple-hued cartridge that sat on the shelves for exactly six weeks in the autumn of 2006. Its name was Dawnhold: LEGO Star Wars II . dawnhold LEGO Star Wars II

The level takes place in a grey void. There are no walls, no enemies, only a single LEGO Obi-Wan Kenobi floating in the lotus position, stuck in a T-pose. He doesn’t move. He doesn’t attack. He just slowly rotates. The objective

5 out of 5 bent mop handles. Build it. Break it. Dawn again. The level takes place in a grey void

To beat the level, you have to stack 50 random bricks into a staircase leading to Obi-Wan. When you reach him, you don’t fight him. You press the action button, and your janitor minifig pats him on the shoulder. The screen flashes "ANXIETY RESOLVED" and the level ends. No studs. No minikits. Just a strange sense of melancholy. Rumors persist that the game was developed not by Traveller's Tales, but by a small team in Brighton who locked themselves in a basement during a particularly gloomy winter. The title, they later claimed in a deleted blog post, referred to the feeling of holding a coffee mug at 5:00 AM, realizing you haven't slept, and watching the sunrise hit the scattered LEGOs on your carpet.
