LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a third-person action-adventure with an open world hub. Unlike previous Lego games in which players had to advance through the story in a linear order, players can now choose to start the game from any of the main Skywalker Saga episodes and complete them in any order they wish. Each episode has their own hub filled with planets featured prominently in each respective film that can be visited and explored. Each episode will have five story missions each, a total of 45 levels. Combat has also been revamped, such as lightsaber fights now involving a variety of combos with light attacks, heavy attacks, and Force moves, and blaster characters having an over-the-shoulder camera angle featured in many third-person shooter games. Random encounters will also happen in the game's hub. For example, an Imperial Star Destroyer will suddenly jump out of hyperspace and send a fleet of TIE Fighters after the player. Players can choose to engage in dogfights with them or continue onward to progress the story. The game will have more than 200 playable characters, though TT Games has said that number will change.
What it feels like
LEGO Star Wars is known for comedic, irreverent takes on the source material with humorous dialogue and slapstick moments. The game invites experimentation with 300+ characters and environmental destruction, celebrating mess-around fun. Defeating the Sith and saving the galaxy across the nine films carries heroic victory and earned momentum.
What it's about
The Star Wars Skywalker Saga is the definitive space opera setting, with sweeping interstellar adventure across planets, empires, and galactic conflict. The Skywalker Saga is built around the classic hero's journey to defeat Palpatine and the Sith across multiple films.
How it plays
Lightsaber combat with light attacks, heavy attacks, and Force moves forms a core combat loop. LEGO games are known for environmental and destructible-object puzzles integral to exploration and level progression. Blaster characters with over-the-shoulder aiming are present, though not as central as melee.
How it looks and sounds
Third-person camera following the player character is the standard perspective throughout exploration and combat. LEGO's signature blocky, constructible aesthetic is inherently low-poly and stylized.
How it's structured
Players can start from any of the nine Skywalker Saga episodes and complete them in any order, a defining structural freedom. Large explorable planets within each episode's hub constitute distinct open zones with non-linear exploration and optional encounters. Nine story campaigns tied to the Skywalker Saga films provide a bounded, authored narrative arc across 45 levels.
