** Rather than [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice stabbing him in the stomach]] like in Film/ThePhantomMenace, Darth Maul kills Qui-Gon by dropping a pile of rubble on top of him.
** Dooku gets [[ThrownOutTheAirlock blown out of the Invisible Hand into space]] instead of being decapitated in the retelling of Film/RevengeOfTheSith, presumably averting BatmanCanBreatheInSpace unlike other LEGO Star Wars series.
** Also in the Film/RevengeOfTheSith adaptation, Grievous dies due to him driving in reverse off the edge of a cliff on Utapau in his wheel bike (after [[TooDumbToLive he asked Obi-Wan if the R stood for "really fast"]], to which Obi-Wan [[BlatantLies replied "Yes."]]), while in the movie Obi-Wan [[HoistByHisOwnPetard shot Grievous with his own blaster]] after he lost his lightsaber.

** In ''Film/ANewHope'', the R5 unit Luke and Owen wanted to buy malfunctioned without anyone's intervention (moreover, the canon explanation is that he did it ''on purpose''), prompting them to buy R2-D2 instead. In this series, R2 broke not only him, but every other droid the Jawas had so that Luke would have no other choice.

!!Tropes featured in Lego Star Wars Droid Tales include:

* ActorAllusion:
** Darth Maul is introduced speaking in a high-pitched voice, before switching to a lower octave when Sidious orders him to. Creator/RayPark was dubbed over because his voice was considered too high-pitched to be threatening.
** [[Creator/SamuelLJackson Mace Windu]] [[Film/SnakesOnAPlane has had it with these blaster-firing Droids on this Battle-Droid infested planet]].
* AdaptationalComicRelief: Applied to virtually everyone, but special mention goes to Yoda saying that Luke “[[SophisticatedAsHell insulted my crib]]”.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: The Mos Eisley Bartender allows Droids into his bar, since all of his business has been poached by Watto.

* BrickJoke: At the start of episode 3, Threepio asks a kid with a set of Rebel-themed collectors cards if his is in there. At the end of the story he tells next, he finds the card, which depicts him cowering in fear.
* ButtMonkey: Chewbacca. His medal for blowing up the Death Star is destroyed before he can receive it and C-3PO hijacks his and Nien Nunb’s vacation to rescue R2.
