History VideoGame / StarWarsDroidWorks

* DumbMuscle: All the assassin droids fit this trope, although they do sound very sadistic when they're trying to kill you. [[spoiler: One assassin droid who's friendly, because he has an actual AI, says that the Empire intentionally designed them this way because droid brains made them ''too smart for combat.'' ]]

* UneventfulReturnJourney: When a mission is begun, your droid is deployed from the Sandcrawler in a slow, dramatic manner with varying camera angles, but at the end, the Jawas simply suck it back into the workshop through a vacuum tube, in much the same manner that R2 was in ''A New Hope''. He and C-3PO sometimes comment on this, as well.

* TheAllegedBoss: F-TO (Pronounced "Feet-Oh"), administrator of the Phrik mine, is a Type 3. He proudly describes how the place works and why his position is so important, except there aren't any of his lower mining droids about, even with the recent power outage - you even have to do manual labor yourself because he forgot about the crystal you're after, and at the end, F-TO secretly reveals that he's lonely and just wants a companion. He does help you take out the assassin droid, at least.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When F-TO notices Cammy's presence behind your droid, he asks why she's there and if she's filming him for a movie. Your droid can answer this question, too.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When FT-O notices Cammy's presence behind your droid, he asks why she's there and if she's filming him for a movie. Your droid can answer this question, too.

* UnwinnableByInsanity: You're given a battery to use on a droid at the end of the Salvage Yard mission, but you could easily use it on yourself, thus preventing you from getting the crystal you're sent to retrieve. It's pretty hard to do that though, as there's another battery hidden one room over from where the droid is.

Star Wars: [=DroidWorks=] is an educational game set in the StarWars universe, released by Lucas Learning in 1998. In it, you play as a spy for the Rebel Alliance who has to build droids for a Jawa clan, solving basic physics puzzles to prove yourself, and ultimately stop the Empire's army of assassin droids.

* CrossdressingVoices: This can happen with male-voiced droid head being on a feminine chassis, or vice versa.

* {{Expy}}: Yes, you have all the parts you need to make droids based off of both [=C-3PO=] and [=R2-D2=]. While a Threepio lookalike [[JokeCharacter isn't all that useful]] considering no mission requires you to conduct diplomacy (beyond "does your droid have a vocabulator or not?"), [[LethalJokeCharacter R2 is a bit more helpful]] if you want a lightweight wheeled droid.

* HardLight: Colored beams of light serve as tracks for the magnetic trams leading into and out of the various warehouses in the Salvage Yard.

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: The Salvage Yard has one seriously bored security droid, who would rather work for the Rebellion if he could, rather than stay with the storm troopers that don't even trust him with clearance codes. He even admits that the Salvage Yard is owned by the Emperor, though he thinks Darth Vader is worse than that. Regardless, he doesn't stop you from entering the place, let alone shoot you with the blaster (which you can't see) he's carrying, whether you talk to him or not.

* NoOshaCompliance: People on Tattooine aren't very fond of safety codes, even with the Empire around. One location seriously guilty of this trope is the Phrik Mine, which is run by snooty administrator droid F-TO. For starters, the elevator accessing the mine proper is a simple platform that someone could easily fall off of while it's moving, and after it gets there, it opens ''right next'' to an open pit; then there's the Laser-Powered Fusion Reactor, which has no handrails on its catwalks that span over an equally deep pit.

* InvoluntaryDance: [[spoiler:How you defeat the assassin droids.]]

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: In the last stage of the Mass Launcher training mission, you get the option to control how much force the mass launcher gives out. And to pass, now you have to launch two droids to the target first. You can also aim it wrong or set the power too high and throw them straight into a wall. [[WhatTheHellPlayer Cammy abruptly ends the mission in despair, though.]]

* ExpositionFairy: Cammy, the flying hovercam droid. She speaks with a Southern accent, of all things. Fortunately, if you tire of her - and most players probably will, there's a mute button in the top right corner and you can just read what she says instead.

* RoboCam: Again, Cammy. It's actually confusing, in that she's not only tracking your droid in the missions, but the interface is part of her chassis that you are looking at, simultaneously. She tries to explain this when you examine her visual sensor.
--> "During a mission, it allows me to see you, and watch your droid at the same time. Impressive, huh? I'm not just another pretty face, you know!"

* TenSecondFlashlight: A variant. Some droid heads have a floodlight that has a fairly slow power drain, but the night vision sensor on other heads - including R2-D2's, has a faster drain, much like ''VideoGame/SystemShock''. One particular head has a vision sensor explicitly designed to see corrosion, only used in one of the top secret missions.
