Development[edit]

According to Behind the Design by Apple, the Gameloft team drew heavily from the "rapid-fire richly textured" imagery of The Lego Movie and its equally effervescent sequel. "Everything is Lego in those movies, down to the backgrounds," says Lee Kaburis, game manager for Lego Star Wars: Castaways. "We investigated the matter a little further, decided it was feasible, and said, 'OK, we’re going all in.' We wanted that full immersion of being in a Lego world." Kaburis also stated that "playtime — which involved nearly everyone on the team — was the most important part of development.".[1][self-published source]
