What character do you want? If I have them unlocked, I could crank the resolution up and take a screenshot. To my knowledge, though, there aren't many high-resolution images of these out there.

I took a screencap of his icon with resolution and antialiasing cranked all the way up, and I also figured out how to extract the icon straight from the game's files. Unfortunately, the ripped icon doesn't include the blue circle or transparent background, and I wasn't able to find where that image was stored (probably in one of the archives I couldn't figure out how to extract).

However, along with the original icon and the screencap, I've also included an upscaled copy of the screencap, which was just a quick upscale and noise reduction. Not perfect, but it's about 3 times bigger than the original icon, while still looking fairly clear.

The original file is in .dds format, but I also converted it and the screencap to .tga.


Oh, by the way, I didn't have him unlocked so... 100,000 studs for my trouble. (jk)

EDIT: if you're wondering why I didn't upload it to imgur or something, and just gave you the actual files, it's because most image hosting services would compress it, and the whole point was to get the best quality possible.

Are those high quality pictures in the game files?

The one that only shows Boba without the background is in the game files. However, nearly everything, you might notice, is compressed in archives that most programs can't open. There's a very convenient tool called QuickBMS which has a script designed specifically for extracting these archives (which are unique to Lego Star Wars). The icons are inside the GAME.DAT file, and when you extract it you'll find the icons in GAME\STUFF\ICONS\. The icons are all stored as .GSC files. I used a program called Dragon Unpacker, which was referenced by the creator of QuickBMS, to extract the .dds file from the .GSC archive.

The .dds file included in the game is actually only 256x256, which is why I gave you the upscaled version too. :)
