In an interview with, Jonathan Smith, head of production and strategic director at TT Games, said this freedom of choice 'is a really important principle for us', adding, 'We love stories and storytelling but we also feel, both as gamers ourselves and with particular concern for young players driven to experimentation and change, that stories exist to be played with, however the player wants.' They can direct where to go and how to play.' This means a good amount of freedom and the chance to play through all of your favorite worlds first. We know that players will be able to play across nine films of the Skywalker saga but according to the Warner Bros page for Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Sage, players will be able to access all of them right away and play 'in any order they choose. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga news and rumors We’ll have more on Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga as it’s revealed, so keep checking back to TechRadar for all the latest news. Who knows – it may even wash away the bad taste The Rise of Skywalker left us with. There will be variety, collectibles and fan-favourite characters and scenes aplenty then. The gameplay trailer shows the player taking the controls of everything from a podracer to an X-Wing, a Snowspeeder to those stupid horse things that turned up in Rise of Skywalker. Vehicular based play will also be significant.

All of these locations will include random encounters too – you might be messing around before being ambushed by a Tie Fighter fleet, for example.

It’s an incredibly ambitious undertaking then, collating all the major sights (and sites) of the near-complete Star Wars universe. Hubs will range from the desolate wastes of Tatooine to the forests of Endor and the dark heart of Exegol, where the Emperor holds court. You’ll have plenty of hub worlds to explore before taking on the core missions, and these will be littered with secrets to find and collectibles to… er… collect. It’ll still be family friendly, but might not be quite as button-mashy as previous Lego games. Combat has been sharpened up – lightsaber duels will focus on combo building, with a mixture of light, heavy and Force attacks wielded in tandem, while ranged shooting combat moves the gameplay to an over-the-shoulder viewpoint, ala Gears of War or Uncharted.
