In interviewing celebrities and bands in the Star Wars Rocks section on StarWars.com, we've discovered that many of them are not only avid gamers, but big fans of the LEGO Star Wars video games. Since LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga hits stores this week, here's a few quotes from the rock stars and celebs eager to play.

Nine Inch Nails -- Jeordie White: Knights of the Old Republic and LEGO Star Wars are my favorite LucasArts games. KOTR is just a fun adventure game. I'm bored with the different game versions they have like Doom and Quake now which I guess would be Republic Commando, but I love the LEGO games because they're fun. It's a video game and it's not trying to look real. I love playing Qui-Gon in the LEGO Star Wars game.

J.J. Abrams -- Director: I actually did not play with Star Wars toys; although my seven-year-old son does now including the LEGO Star Wars video game. I find myself playing along with him so I feel like I am making up for lost time.

Fall Out Boy -- Joe Trohman: I basically play them all and the LEGO Star Wars game was amazing too. Seriously. Awesome.

Mogwai -- Stuart Braithwaite: I used to love the SNES games and love LEGO Star Wars. I'm going to get the next LEGO Star Wars for my PSP to play on tour.

Rob Crow: I've played most of the LucasArts games. In fact, there's a song on My Room is a Mess called "Jedi Outcast." LEGO Star Wars has probably been my favorite, though.

Army of Freshman -- Kai Dodson: I play every Star Wars game. My latest addiction has been LEGO Star Wars II. I'm at about 90% complete at the moment. The LEGO games are absolutely brilliant. They are as fun for kids as they are for adults.

Ween -- Dean Ween (Mickey Melchiondo): I have finished LEGO Star Wars for PS2. I even went so far as to build all of the ships and attain true Jedi status on every level, unlocking the "secret door" for the bonus at the end. It took me about eight weeks.

Nine Black Alps -- David Jones: I have played the LEGO Star Wars game with my nephew. He is five, and kicks my butt at it. [laughs]

Aquabats -- MC Bat Commander: I would love to play LEGO Star Wars! Please send us some to test out and we will give you the Aquabats test results and review. The last game I played was ....drumroll......Rogue Squadron for Nintendo 64! We had it on a tour bus we toured on years ago. It was really fun but we have fallen on hard times and can no longer afford such luxuries. However, if there were donations made to the "Help the Aquabats Get Re-Acquainted with the LucasArts Video Game Library," they can be sent to my house!
