I got to play Lego Star Wars 2 over the weekend. It's a HUGE improvement over the last game. They've added some new character classes (Bounty Hunters and Stormtroopers) and gotten rid of that old "high jumping" character subset. This means that when you import your characters from the old game (a big hell yes), Jar-Jar is no longer required to get everything in the game.
It's got twice the characters, and tons of vehicles. You can now free-play the space levels, with a large number of Rebel and Imperial starfighters to choose from. My only complaint so far is that there are too many versions of Han, Luke, and Leia, and that you can use the Force on EVERYTHING. Sometimes it's a hindrance, since you'll wind up using it on your ally more often than you will on the environment around you.
