There have been many Star Wars games in the past. There have also been many LEGO games. Merging the two franchises is something that has also been done before. But nothing with this kind of scope. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was something of a surprise reveal of E3, and it looks to be TT Games? biggest effort to completely encapsulate an iconic franchise with the kid-friendly toy blocks, while offering plenty for gamers looking for more. We managed to sneak a peek at the game during E3 2019 to bring our LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga impressions.
A Trilogy of Trilogies
In case you missed the announcement, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga covers all nine numbered episodes of the Star Wars theatrical releases, which are collectively known as The Skywalker Saga. We were shown the main menu of the game, which allows players to choose any of the nine episodes to play through ? none are locked out from the start (which means we were maybe one accidental button press, or one computer glitch away, from seeing some Episode IX material). TT Games even teased us with this tidbit of information, as they hovered over selecting the episode. Little animations played for each episode, and in the case of Episode IX, this was Rey jumping over the TIE fighter as seen in the Episode IX trailer, but in adorable LEGO form. Instead of seeing anything new from Episode IX early, though, we were treated to a visit to Luke Skywalker?s home planet of Tatooine.
