The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga |
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a LEGO-themed action-adventure video game. It is the sixth entry in TT Games' LEGO Star Wars series. The game has a fully voiced cast; however, the Mumble Mode extra replaces the spoken dialogue with mumbles and grunts similar to the games up until LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.
Gameplay[]
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a third-person action-adventure with an open world hub built in a brand-new engine. You are able to play through all nine films but none of the others such as Rogue One, The Clone Wars, and Solo, however, Rogue One and Solo characters are in DLC packs. 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 trilogies 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 has five story missions each, a total of 45 levels. Once you have completed an episode you can replay the story of said episode in free play. There is also a free mode option which allows you to explore all of the hubs with any character you like.
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 also happen in the game's hub worlds. 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 has almost 400 playable characters and around 800 characters in all (which includes NPCs). Some of the larger vehicles are also navigable inside such as the Death Star or the Venator. The Gold Bricks as of most LEGO Games have been replaced with Kyber Bricks.

Premise[]
The game adapts all of the 9 episodes of the Star Wars saga: The Phantom Menace (1999), Attack of the Clones (2002), Revenge of the Sith (2005), A New Hope (1977), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Return of the Jedi (1983), The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017) and The Rise of Skywalker (2019).
Development[]
The game was first teased to be in development by Lucasfilm sound editor Matthew Wood at Star Wars Celebration Chicago. An announcement trailer premiered at E3 2019 during Microsoft's press conference. In addition on December 20, 2019 LEGO announced a official trailer on the LEGO YouTube channel with a release date of 2020. There have been numerous "leaks" regarding release dates, ranging from the last week of April to the last week of June 2020.
In order to avoid spoilers for The Rise of Skywalker. Lucasfilm did not share any story details with TT Games at the time of development, giving the team only Episodes I through VIII to work with.
On August 27th, 2020, TT Games revealed the official gameplay trailer announcing a Spring 2021 release, but in April they delayed the game again without a planned release window, promising to give details when they have them. On August 25th, 2021, another release window of Spring 2022 was revealed, and in January 2022, the release date was confirmed to be April 5, 2022.
As planned, the game finally released on April 5, 2022.
The game was given DLC packs for the next few months after release. A "Galactic Edition" version of the game with all 13 DLC packs was released on November 1, 2022.
Trivia[]
- This is the first and only LEGO game to use the NTT engine with TT deciding to go with Unreal Engine for their future projects, as well as to be the first one released for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and thus, the ninth generation of consoles.
- Due to the game using a new engine, some animations are completely different than previous LEGO games:
- The stud currency now has a different spin animation.
- The unbuildable LEGO pieces now fade out from screen, rather than blink before disappearing.
- According to former TT Games employees, the NTT engine was controversial within the development team, with some demanding they use Unreal Engine 4 instead, due to its problems with use, with some animations taking hours more than they did with the old engine. In addition, the game suffered through crunch time, leading to some employees to quit TT Games altogether.
- Due to the game using a new engine, some animations are completely different than previous LEGO games:
- This is the first TT developed LEGO game since Bionicle Heroes to lack a customization feature (excluding the toys-to-life game LEGO Dimensions).
- This is the third LEGO game to have different graphic of stud bar after The LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game and LEGO The Incredibles.
- Like The LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game, the Stud Bar now has different tier to achieve the Stud Bar goal, but unlike Ninjago Movie (which has 20 tiers), this game only has three tiers.
- The game uses a completely refreshed build complete sound effect compared to previous two sound effects (which one used on most LEGO games since LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, another one only used on LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game and LEGO The Incredibles).
- This is the largest LEGO game from TT to date as it can take the player 80-100 hours to 100% it, making it bigger than every other LEGO game with an open-world environment.
- As with LEGO Dimensions, the game has unique character reactions.
- This is the second LEGO game from TT on console/PC to have five minikits per level, the other being LEGO DC Super-Villains (not counting the five Golden Instruction Pages per level in The LEGO Movie Videogame).
- This is the second LEGO Star Wars game with spoken dialogue.
- The game marks the final acting credit of voice actor Tom Kane, due to a forced retirement in the wake of his stroke in November 2020.
- This is the first LEGO Star Wars game since the original from 2005 to not be released on Xbox 360.
- This game has the longest credits sequence of any Lego game to date at 58 minutes and 34 seconds.
- This is the first Lego game to not allow the player to switch characters with the top face button (not counting Lego City Undercover which only has one playable character onscreen in single player and handheld versions).
- This is the first LEGO Star Wars game to not be specifically realized on a portable console. The game is marked as Verified on the Steam Deck
- This is the only Lego Star Wars game to not have an opening crawl for the levels.
- This is the first Lego video game to allow the player to make the QuickTime events be automatic.
- This is the second Lego game that requires the player to hold the top face button to skip cutscenes, the first being Lego DC Super-Villains.
- The game uses a new font for the in-game text, although the subtitles reuse the font that was used for the in-game text in LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures & LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars.
- This is the second LEGO game where the player can buy all the stud multipliers from the start of the game as long as they have five datacards and they can afford them, the other being LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2.
- All characters used health bars instead of the traditional four-heart system, although LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 only used health bars for enemies while still using the traditional four-heart system for playable characters.
- According to unused strings in the game's files, the game has leftover code from LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga on PS3.
- The game was originally scheduled for release in 2020 but pushed back to 2022 due to the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on video games.
- This is the eighth LEGO game from TT overall on console/PC not to have Gold Bricks with Kyber Bricks in place of them, the others being LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, LEGO Batman: The Videogame, LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues, LEGO The Lord of the Rings, LEGO The Hobbit and The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame.
- The character tagging/switching sound effect was re-used from LEGO The Lord of the Rings instead of re-using the one introduced in LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
- This is one of three LEGO games from TT on console/PC where in the hub, if a player character gets into a vehicle that can support more than one character while the other character is AI controlled, they will get into the vehicle automatically, the others being LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues & LEGO Marvel's Avengers. In other games, the other character must be controlled by another player for that to happen.
