Inside the puns, humor, and bricks of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

Sharing is caring!

May the Fourth is always a special day for Star Wars fans for obvious, homophonic reasons. But this particular May the Fourth is extra special because fans of the galaxy far, far away and fans of LEGO bricks can come together to celebrate their love with LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

Released just shy of a month ago, this latest brick-empowered play-through of the entire Star Wars saga is already the best-selling LEGO video game in history.

It’s also packed with a lot to do spread across the nine movies, 45 story levels, 23 planets, and more than 400 teeny, tiny plastic figures.

Today, that enormous collection also gets two meaningful additions in the form of downloadable content. Both The Mandalorian Season 2 Character Pack–featuring Ahsoka Tano, Boba Fett, Bo Katan, Fennec Shand, and Moff Gideon–as well as The Bad Batch Character Patch–featuring Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Crosshair, and Echo–hit today.

It’s also a great day for the team, who have been working on this enormous project for years, to reflect a bit on what they’ve created.

Keep in mind, this isn’t just the biggest game developed by TT Games, it’s the second run at retelling these Star Wars stories in brick form for most of the movies.
