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. It adapts all nine episodes of the Star Wars Skywalker 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). 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.
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 an official trailer on the LEGO YouTube channel with a release date of 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.
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. 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.
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 released on April 5, 2022. The game was given DLC packs for the next few months after release. In May 2022, new Capital Ships with more Kyber Bricks to collect were added. A "Galactic Edition" version of the game with all 13 DLC packs was released on November 1, 2022. On May 4, 2023, Luke Starkiller was added into the game.
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.

Trivia[]
- This game marks the first of several things:
- This is the first LEGO game released for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and thus, the ninth generation of consoles.
- The first TT developed LEGO game since Bionicle Heroes to lack a customization feature (excluding the toys-to-life game LEGO Dimensions).
- The first LEGO game from TT on console/PC since LEGO City Undercover to not have checkpoints in the levels, likely due to how short the levels are.
- The first LEGO game to reference South Park, Robot Chicken and Family Guy, all of which are animated TV shows that are inappropriate for kids and would never be shown in a K-8 school district since the former two are rated TV-MA and the later is rated TV-14.
- The first LEGO game to have purchasable hubs with the capital ships.
- The first LEGO Star Wars game since the original from 2005 to not be released on Xbox 360.
- The first LEGO Star Wars game in which protocol droids can jump and split into half.
- The first LEGO game to not allow the player to switch characters with the top face button (not counting LEGO City Undercover and LEGO Worlds which only have one playable character onscreen in single player, and handheld games which only have a single player mode).
- 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.
- The first LEGO game from TT to let players change the controls on home console.
- This is the first LEGO video game to allow the player to make the QuickTime events be automatic.
- The first where characters use health bars instead of the traditional four-heart system, although LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 only used health bars for enemies and bosses while still using the traditional four-heart system for playable characters.
- 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.
- 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.
- This is the second LEGO game from TT to have unique interactions between characters during gameplay, the other being LEGO Dimensions.
- This is the third LEGO game to have different graphic of stud bar after The LEGO Ninjago Movie Videogame and LEGO The Incredibles.
- Like The LEGO Ninjago Movie Videogame, 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 Videogame and LEGO The Incredibles).
- This game marks the only occurrences of a few things for any LEGO Star Wars game:
- This is the only one with areas you can't revisit.
- This is the only one that cannot be played on the Wii and/or Wii U as the first two LEGO Star Wars games can be played through backwards compatibility with the GameCube, LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga and LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars can be played on both the Wii and the Wii U via backwards compatibility and LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens can be played on the Wii U.
- This is the only one to not have an opening crawl for the levels.
- The only one to not be available for rent at Blockbuster stores since LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens was only available for rent at privately-owned Blockbuster stores.
- 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. The only game that does come close to it is LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2, which takes 60-80 hours to get 100% in.
- 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 Manuals 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 game has the longest credits sequence of any LEGO game to date at 58 minutes and 34 seconds.
- This is the largest LEGO game from TT to date since it can take the player 80-100 hours to 100% it.
- The amount of content in the game makes the game hard as Jak II as with LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars while the difficulty for LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is comparable to Jak 3 while the difficulty for first two LEGO Star Wars games and The Complete Saga is comparable to the first Jak and Daxter game.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 second movie-adapted LEGO game from TT to not utilize archive audio, the first being LEGO The Incredibles.
- 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 the sixth LEGO video game from TT on console/PC to have the Story Swap feature, the others being LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, LEGO The Lord of the Rings, LEGO The Hobbit, LEGO Jurassic World and LEGO Marvel's Avengers.
- 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 and LEGO Marvel's Avengers. In other games, the other character must be controlled by another player for that to happen.
- Prior to release it was mentioned that the galaxy and planets would change based on the era the player is in within the story (presumably what ships, decorations, enemies, and characters are present), however this feature is not present in the final game.
- The official description for the game lists Starkiller Base as one of the planets that can be revisited in free roam however in the final game outside of a small section between levels within the Force Awakens set of levels, the planet does not appear in free roam.
- It was the first game to be created on NTT engine, but due to the problems with it, its also the last one.
