Fans of theLEGOvideo games have gotten used to new titles in the series coming out on a near-annual basis, so it’s been an especially long wait forLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Luckily, the wait is nearly at an end, and soon those who have been looking forward toLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagacan play through LEGO versions of the entire main seriesStar Warsfilm franchise with over 300 characters to choose from.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagahas over 300 charactersfor players to select come launch, but there are those who would rather mix-and-match the characters to make their own unique creations. Previous LEGO games have allowed players to customize characters by mixing and matching parts, and so it was assumed by some fans that the feature would return in the upcomingLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Unfortunately for those hoping to see character customization inLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, it seems that the feature will not be in the game come launch.

This was confirmed by the TT Games Twitter account, responding to a tweet from an interview in 2019 between TT Games designer Mike Consalvey and HipHopGamer. In the interview, Consalvey seems to confirm that character customization will be inLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, but the TT Games Twitter clarified that plans changed during development. Sometime between the 2019 interview and now, the decision was made to cut character customization, though an exact reason why wasn’t provided by theLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagadevelopers.
Some fans may be disappointed to learn thatLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagawill not have character customization, but the bright side is there will be no shortage of characters to choose from. Besides the 300+LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagacharacters that will be available in the base game, even more playable characters will be added as DLC. And as a matter of fact, the curtain has already been pulled back on what fans can expect fromLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker SagaDLC characters.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker SagaDLC will largely revolve aroundStar Warsmedia outside the main series films, withDLC packs based onThe Mandalorian,Solo: A Star Wars Story,Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,Star Wars: The Bad Batch, and more. So anyone left unsatisfied by the 300+ characters in the base game will be able to expand their roster in due time.
