More information and release date for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
Posted by CapnRex101,
The existence of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was originally reported during April 2019 and different release dates have followed, as the game has been repeatedly delayed.
However, the release date of the 5th of April has finally been confirmed, for all platforms. A video providing our best look at the game yet has also been released, which you can watch below...
Warner Bros. Games, TT Games, the LEGO Group and Lucasfilm Games today revealed a new game overview trailer for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, which is set to release on April 5th, 2022 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One consoles, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC. In what will be the biggest and most visually striking LEGO Star Wars game yet, the trailer gives an in-depth look into the gameplay and the freedom offered to players by showcasing the new combat mechanics, a wide range of characters and character classes, a vast galaxy to explore, and much more! In true LEGO form, players will relive the epic story of all nine films in the Skywalker Saga, and it all starts with picking the trilogy of their choice to begin the journey.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga lets players experience battles like never before in a LEGO game as players can string different attacks together to form combo chains and fend off oncoming attacks. New blaster controls and mechanics allow players to aim with precision and take cover to plot their next move or utilise the skills of a Jedi by wielding a lightsaber and using the power of The Force.
Players can traverse space using the galaxy map on their holoprojector to chart their course through the saga, progressively unlocking planets to explore along the way. During space travel, players may engage in heroic dog fights against enemy ships, piloting legendary vehicles like the Millennium Falcon, Imperial TIE fighters, Rebel X-wings, and many more. Once reaching their destination, players can choose to either continue onwards through the main story or explore and discover exciting quests and puzzles within the galaxy.
Exploration rewards players as they uncover Kyber Bricks which unlock new features and upgraded abilities across a range of character classes, including Jedi, Hero, Dark Side, Villain, Scavenger, Scoundrel, Bounty Hunter, Astromech Droid, and Protocol Droid. Play as iconic characters like Leia, Yoda, Boba Fett, Darth Maul, Poe and over three hundred more unlockable characters from across all nine films in free play mode to create fun, new adventures. From the idyllic grassy hills of Naboo to the desert dunes of Jakku, the LEGO Star Wars galaxy is available to discover and play in.
The trailer also reveals LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will feature Mumble Mode, an option that fans of the classic LEGO Star Wars games can toggle to replace all voices with mumbles!
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is available now for digital pre-order. Consumers that digitally pre-order the game will receive early access to the Trooper Character Pack on launch day. The pack will be available a month after launch for those that purchase the Character Collection (season pass with all seven character packs) or à la carte. Digital buyers can also unlock the Classic Obi-Wan Kenobi playable character that is not available for purchase à la carte. The physical version of the Deluxe Edition will include an exclusive LEGO Star Wars minifigure, Luke Skywalker with Blue Milk.
The character selection screen is of particular interest to me, including various characters that I would love to see in physical minifigure form! Captain Typho, Carib Diss, Phase II Commander Cody and Dexter Jettster appear in this screenshot alone, with many more elsewhere in the trailer.
Are you looking forward to LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga? Let us know in the comments.

Holy... An option to turn off the voices!?!??
That just changed this from a "would be cool" into a must-buy for me. I LOVE the old voiceless games! So much more charming IMO.
I really hope we can get an actual Dexter Jettster after seeing this
At last, been on pre order for 2 years, looks like it is worth the wait
I was really hoping there would atleast be dlc packs for clone wars, rebels, and mandalorian, but that doesn’t look like it’s happening.
"You don't want to sell me dis game. You want to go home and rethink if there are really nine Star Wars movies."
Phase II Cody!
It’s a shame there is no physical PC Deluxe edition; I wouldn’t mind a Luke Skywalker with Blue Milk when I buy the game.

The game hasn't even been released, I think it's a bit early to say DLC packs won't be happening.
@Bycougars said:

7 DLC packs have been confirmed, with a Mandalorian pack, and a Trooper pack. And I've heard rumors of a total of 20 DLC packs.
If you preordered the physical deluxe edition would one still be able to access the Trooper pack?

Are those part of The Skywalker Saga?
No. So why would they be included?"
It would make for some cool DLC. Especially since the Mandalorian literally has Luke in it. Clone wars is definitely part of the skywalker story, and a rebels DLC could just be their interactions with leia. I like the idea of the non skywalker saga stuff being available as add ons.
Anyone else think some English guy read the date wrong and it should have been the 4th May??

They will include vehicles from EU media as obscure as the Imperial Missile Boat from the TIE Fighter games. To ignore characters as major as Ahsoka and the Mandalorian seems strange when there probably won't be a game called "Lego Star Wars The Spin Offs". Of course there are character DLC packs for the main tv shows and two spin-off movies announced, which is stupid already as developement of a new character is pretty much nothing and the price for the packs completely arbitrary. There really should be one bonus level for every major piece of media, be it DLC or part of the main game. 1 The Clone Wars level, 1 Rebels level, 1 Rogue One level, etc. similar to how Batman 1966 and The Dark Knight got levels in Lego Batman 3. Not just the characters as DLC packs that had to be paid for. There is no way they will make a second game like "Lego Star Wars spin-offs", though something to that effect should exist at some point the more tv shows are coming out and gaining their own fanbases not necessarily overlapping with the films.
If software requires more time in order for it to work well, I’m all for it. Better that than a Cyberpunk situation. In my opinion.
I haven’t followed it closely so I don’t know if it’s simply development or other licensing / business reasons behind the scenes.
This game looks absolutely insane! My excitement for it had plummeted for the past year, but this has me so pumped! It just seems like TT has looked at every aspect that was making lego games repetitive and dated and addressing each one. I thought the mention that there are multiple ways to complete a level is especially exciting. The fact that every level in the past has only one way to beat it was starting to get frustrating and it felt like your experience was no different than anyone else’s. It’s strange to say but it feels like this is the first lego game by TT (besides Worlds) where you can actually get creative with your gameplay experience

Not likely, since the video ends with the text "April 5, 2022". Unless you're saying someone at TT Games screwed up their own release date?

Because the DLC for characters from the Mandalorian, rogue one, solo etc. have already been announced. However, because those characters are being released as DLC it makes me feel doubtful we'll be getting levels based on those shows. If they were releasing levels based on those shows then more than likely the characters would have been included with the levels rather than being sold separately. Who knows, maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, guess we'll wait and see.

Yeah I know that I was trying to be funny, especially with the importance of 4th May for the Star Ware community and the it is very similarly written in digits with English and American formatting.
These details are so awesome.
@shirhac said:

Episodes 1-6 , Rogue One, Clone Wars Movie and Solo. So yeah, exactly 9.
I don't know anything about any other movies... You must be talking about some dark alternative timeline where someone bought off the Star Wars brand and tried to destroy George Lucas' legacy, but come ooon, that would never happen..... Right?
RIGHT?!!

There are nine Star Wars movies— counting Rogue One, Solo, and the Clone Wars movie. :P
Mumble is back?????
I can’t say how exited I am for this game. I have been waiting for it for almost three years. I am absolutely about to pre order deluxe edition right now.
Hopefully it’s in real movie order starting with episode IV. Also who’s the person with the yellow lightsaber? It’s bastila right? It’s gotta be her.

1. It'll likely be in chronological (in-universe) order
2. It's Rey
So glad they’ve introduced a mumble mode! Shame that it’s simply a dub rather than integrated in the story though (no Polaroid in the I am your Father scene).
Anyway, why is everyone complaining about there only being six films in the saga? Everyone knows there’s only three: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi!
;)
@NatureBricks said:

Because they're great and popular pieces of Star Wars content that people might like to be in their Star Wars game.

It looked like you could start at the beginning of each trilogy.
Oh goodness. There are people who hate the ST so much that they recognize the existence of the truly awful Clone Wars animated movie just to make a point?! Wow. I mean, as much as I love TCW series, the movie was really not good.
Everyone has their own opinion. While many people dislike the ST, which I agree, I do think the clone wars movie is worse. And ST > solo movie, although one of my favorite is the original 2003 clone wars tv series, and somehow I like the PT just as much as the OT, if not more lol
And it's funny to see warner and sw together, consider warner owns dc and disney owns sw (and marvel). Guess because warner does lego games...
I bought last year’s LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar because it comes with a code to unlock a character in the game. Was there ever any news on whom the code unlocks?
@RaiderOfTheLostBrick said:
"(no Polaroid in the I am your Father scene)."
That was always one of my favorites, that's what I usually bring up whenever I want to illustrate why silent Lego games were better.
As long as this has taken, the gift has turned into Old Luke Skywalker with Green Milk.

There are character packs for mandalorian - nothing for CW or rebels so far but one for Bad Batch so I'm hopeful they are going to have something bigger for Clone Wars and Rebels

There are actually two codes. I'm pretty sure one of them is Darth Vader in his holiday sweater. Not sure what the other one is for.
I'm looking forward to this game, but not for the $50.00 price tag. I'll buy it when it's on sale.

1. George Lucas' legacy was already as ruined as it could have been. The prequels were mercilessly mocked all over pop culture. There were whole documentaries about it. It wasn't until people who were kids when the prequels came out got older that fan discourse started shifting. When Disney bought Lucasfilm, George was still reviled (or, at best, seen as a great ideas man who couldn't write specifics, dialogue, etc.).
2. You do realize that two of the three movies you listed were made after Disney bought Lucasfilm, right? Same goes for the Bad Batch, the Mandalorian, season 7 of Clone Wars, and Rebels.
@shirhac said:

Apparently there are 16 movies:

Although one can probably be removed as it is a fan-made film.

It said in the trailer, you can start with whichever trilogy you wish
What? Not for PS2? So I need to buy a new console?
Polygon published an article this morning about the making of this game, which goes into detail about things like management decisions causing this game to take 5 years to make and still seriously overworking the developers, and which I think is more important to discuss than the same tiresome arguments over which Star Wars movies are better. Here's the link: https://www.polygon.com/features/22891555/lego-star-wars-the-skywalker-saga-has-led-to-extensive-crunch-at-tt-games
I'm happy this is coming out (finally). I was getting worried it had have been canned and no-one would be told, and the money given for pre-orders returned.
Thankfully, that was not the case.
With regards to whether Sequel trilogy is a part of Star Wars, yes, It is. Except for Episode 8 (TLJ), or as I call it: "The Film that Doesn't Exist". I honestly think that, in some alternate universe, the 8th Star Wars film was directed by J. J. Abrams and was not only better than "The film that Doesn't Exist", it bolstered the release of Solo and made it a blockbuster rather than a dud.

Thank you for sharing this, it's unfortunate but important.
See, my problem here is, if one DOES buy the game, they give more money to the people causing the problem, but if one DOESN'T buy the game just because of the problems at the company, that's an insult to the devs' insane amount of work and abuse over the last five years. If I had to put that much work in and suffer constant abuse and/or mistreatment during that work, I'd be heartbroken if it was all for naught - BECAUSE of that insane work/mistreatment, no less.
What I'm saying is, I understand both people who will skip the game because of this, AND people who will still buy it even though this information makes them feel uncomfortable. The important thing is that people make the poor working conditions known instead of ignoring it and saying "who cares", so thank you for bringing this up.

Might come as a shock, but the general market genuinely couldn’t care less what angry internet people think about the Star Wars sequels. Of course they’re in the game, because on an objective level they are part of the Saga. They continue the story of the Skywalker family (Luke and Leia are both in all three films). Whether they’re good is up to interpretation, but the simple fact of their existence as part of the story is not. Get used to Star Wars Saga material from now on featuring all nine.

"Polygon published an article this morning about the making of this game..."
Thank you for posting this. I've been a fan of the TT Lego games since the start. I had some idea TT Games had issues, but not to this depth. As much I have enjoyed their games, I'll be holding off on this one. There is no easy way to reward the hard working people who create these great games without rewarding management as well.
I wonder if there will be the same outcry about LEGO associating with a video game company with a toxic culture as there was last week...
Finally! “It’s been 84 years” Titanic meme.
Wonder if this will be the last TT Lego game?
Yeah they need to do Clone Wars and Rebels, seeing as how they’re going to do Bad Batch. Resistance… I wouldn’t mind seeing Bucket trundling around, so that, too.
Rey is shooting the mouse droid? What kind of dark-side monster is she?? Seriously, though, it looks like they knocked it out of the park on this one.
Amazing!
There are two indisputable reasons why the sequels are in the game:
1. It allows for them to put in never done before movies with 8 and 9, and this has been a major selling point for the game. Sure they could have chosen other movies like rogue one, etc. but that’s clearly not as intuitive as doing ep. 7, 8, 9
2. More importantly, this game has been in development long before the release of ep 9. When this game was first announced, people were still relatively positive about the sequels and actually excited about the upcoming release of ep 9. The game was intended to release hot off the heals of a saga-ending film that was hyped up to be the greatest Star Wars movie ever. You can’t blame tt that Disney dropped the ball on that one.
Besides, tt has a way of making even the worst moments in movies fun and interesting in their games so there’s not much reason to get worked up about it.

Please rant about how the Emperor being alive COMPLETELY OBLITERATES the entire SW story up until that point. The six movies are so excellently tied together along with the spin offs, and they complete possibly the greatest story on film so well. The ST ruins this in so many ways... please continue...
Im super excited for the game! It looks as if it will be worth the wait!
As a reminder, when LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game was released in 2005, everyone (or, at least, the loudest people on the internet) hated the prequel trilogy with a burning passion, and to pretend otherwise is revisionist history. That didn't stop LEGO Star Wars from becoming a beloved classic almost instantly.
So forgive me if I can't take people seriously for screaming and whining about the sequel trilogy being in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. It's not going to make the game any less fun or enjoyable to play, especially when you can turn on "mumble mode" and ignore the dialogue and story just like the original game.
April the Fifth be with you.
Wait, no... That's not right.
Here's the thing. Even if you don't like the films, the ST can be a blast to play in Lego. The Lego brand of humor is just good in anything, which is how the recent holiday special was still popular even though it was ST. Just because you don't like the films doesn't mean the game can't be enjoyable.
I haven't played a LEGO Star Wars game since the very first one. I haven't committed to any TT LEGO game since Marvel Super Heroes (the first one). I'm excited to play this to at least beat the story if nothing else.

I agree, I was just bringing up the Clone Wars movie because my joke wouldn’t work otherwise, the only other alternative that came to mind is the Holiday Special and we all know that’s the worst one.

it seems like TT games knew about this and announced a release date to cover this. I won't be surprised if the game will be delayed once more (... this situation seems similar to CD Projekt Red and Cyberpunk 2077...)
Not a huge fan of Star Wars or Lego games but this looks really fun.
Say it with me people: No one hates Star Wars like....?
All the TT Games LEGO adventures have been excellent fun and I’m excitedly looking forward to this one! Wish they’d do a game set in the 1970s/80s LEGO world - town, space, castle - with everyone smiling all the time :-)

People actually hope for DLC? That you pay for? The game market is so broken. You buy the game, you get the whole game. None of this "pay more to have something that could have been in the game from the start" rubbish. Don't get me started on in-game transactions...
As for people commenting there are only 6 or its the wrong 9 or the like, grow up. You might not like them but they're the 9.

"
1. I don't agree on this. For all their flaws and all hate they got, prequels are part of the original creator's vision and have pretty much consistent themes and messaging with the OT, compared to the misguided mess that sequels ended up being.
For what it's worth, I remember being genuinely surprised when I found out that the prequels got so much hate from people. In my circles, people who were the SW fans always seemed to enjoy both the OT and PT, even if for different reasons.
2. Of course I do realize that. I included them just for the fun of it making 9 in total as well. I think Rogue One is an okay movie and I don't really care about Solo (despite the fact that I was glad that John Powell-the composer, got to work on SW). But Solo as well as most of the stuff I don't enjoy in SW is easily overlooked compared to the ST , which directly tramples over the main narrative, consistency, characters and their achievements.
That said, I look forward to this game a lot. As someone here said, Lego games have a way of making fun experiences even from a poor source material. If the stuff about the crunch and poor treatment of devs is true though, I might move this one from day 1 purchase to the 'wait for discount/buy used copy' list.
@MainBricker said:

Not true. There have been some improvements, sadly not nearly enough as there should be.
Then there's the ever-growing world of indie games.

Also Nintendo can fall on the "not crunch" industries, despite their being "obsolete" compared to other companies.

My point Mr. Thrawn good sir, is that people on this post are arguing about The mandalorian not being in the skywalker saga, so why should they be in the game. I say that the Mandalorian has as much right to be in this game that the ST does, considering neither of them are about skywalkers.
(and yes, Luke and Leia are in them, but on that note, couldn't we call the OG trilogy the "Solo Saga" Considering he is in it?)"
I disagree that The Mandalorian has as much right to be included as the sequel trilogy films. The sequel trilogy films operate, from a story perspective, as the conclusion of the saga. I suppose that it’s true that Skywalker characters are not the main focus, but the name is really just semantics. The story itself is a continuation of the original trilogy. The Mandalorian is a spin-off. I’d also contend that the Skywalker family is still the focus of the sequel trilogy, as the story is concerned with Luke Skywalker’s legacy.

"Is episode IX worse than episode VIII?"
I would say yes. I felt that IX was very poorly paced, there was no real sense of stakes, and the film was technically less accomplished than VIII (the production design was dull, the lighting flat, the editing was imprecise and amateurish, etc.). I also found it thematically frustrating- its reliance on nostalgia and recycled iconography, also present on an aesthetic level, was incorporated into the climax of the film’s narrative and character arcs in a way that I found unsatisfying.
I'm looking forward to grabbing this on my Switch. I prefer digital for convenience, but I may go for the physical deluxe release for the sweet Luke minifig goodness.
Y’all are all wrong. It’s not Luke’s legacy, it’s Anakin’s. Without Anakin, there would be no Luke.
Anyone who loves the prequels and hates the sequels should burn this game and frame a mint condition lego Star Wars the videogame. Listen to my now or you’ll regret buying this game.
@MasterjediLEGO08 is right. Anakin's a character we can't afford to lose.

Just to be sure, you mean Kathleen Kennedy, the person hand-picked by George Lucas to run Lucasfilm, right? The one who's responsible for projects like The Mandalorian, season 7 of The Clone Wars, the Bad Batch, Rebels, Kenobi, and Rogue One making it to the screen.

Wrong. It's Shmi's legacy. The immaculate conception a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

Im pretty sure Dave Filoni is in charge now, and I am pretty sure HE was mostly responsible for The Mandalorian, Season 7 CW, bad batch, rebels and kenobi."
No it’s John Favreau

Well, you're wrong about Filoni being in charge. Kathleen Kennedy, who was picked specifically by Lucas, is still the President of Lucasfilm. In fact, her contract was just extended last year.
As for who's responsible for what's on TV: Filoni and Favreau are the lead creators, along with the other directors, etc. that they brought in. Similarly, JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson were the key creatives in the sequel trilogy. However, Kennedy is still responsible for greenlighting the shows, making sure that they get what they need, etc. Kennedy is just as responsible for the Mandalorian, Rogue One, season 7 CW, Bad Batch, and Rebels as she is for the sequel trilogy.
So, sure, she's not the creative lead at Lucasfilm. But it annoys me when people blame her for all the Star Wars content that they don't like, while downplaying her role in everything they do like.

Not to mention that she’s produced nearly every Spielberg film
