LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga


LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a LEGO Star Wars video game developed by Traveller's Tales. It adapts the nine films of the Skywalker saga, and was released on April 5, 2022.

Gameplay


Unlike previous LEGO Star Wars games, the levels in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga do not need to be completed in a linear order. The hub area in the game is now a vast open-world environment that the player can fully explore. Additionally, random encounters can also appear in the hub relevant to the time that the player is taking part in, and players can choose to engage or disengage in the encounters. Each film consists of five missions, making for a total of forty-five levels.
