Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga celebrates several decades of the iconic sci-fi franchise, and if nine films’ worth of gameplay isn’t enough for you, then the good news is that post-launch DLC will flesh that galaxy out even further. Sadly, there’s no content dedicated specifically to the real MVP of Star Wars, Jar Jar Binks.
What will be available though are multiple character packs, which can be purchased individually or as part of the Character Collection. The Mandalorian content features the fan-favorite mercenary as a playable character and Grogu as a non-playable character. Sorry to burst your Force-bubble, Baby Yoda fans.
For the Solo: A Star Wars Story character pack, you’ll be able to play as the younger versions of Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian, as well as Qi’ra, Tobias Beckett, and Enfys Nest. These two packs will be available from launch day.
The Classic Characters pack will be available for everyone on April 19, while The Trooper Pack is a bonus early access collection of Imperial characters for anyone who preordered the digital version of the game. and will then be released to everyone else from May 4.
Also out on April 19 is the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story pack and Star Wars Day on May 4 will add has two more character packs from The Mandalorian Season 2 and The Bad Batch, expanding the roster to a size that puts Anakin Skywalker’s Midichlorian-count to shame. Hey, it’s still canon.
This is the way.
