Lambasted by both fans and critics alike, this conglomerate powerhouse of a name has now seen a relegation to the wayside, with smaller entries in comfortable positions, like The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. These adult-oriented streaming entries certainly paint LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga in a different light, one brighter than if it were to co-exist a few years ago.
This is the latest entry in the LEGO series of games developed by Traveller's Tales, finally here after its announcement at E3 2019, as well as several delays and crunch controversies. Detailing the nine mainline movies from Episodes I to IX, the game will see you reliving all of your favourite moments, with that LEGO game brand of humour in full swing. At the very least, it makes Episode IX more enjoyable, but that's beside the point.
Before we get into it, however, I just want to highlight the crunch comment quickly. A large reason for The Skywalker Saga's gruellingly long development time which started in 2017 is due to Traveller's Tales' insistence on using their - new in-house engine, NTT, instead of the previous games use of Unreal Engine. Citing difficulties in regards to animation, this has truly been an adventure of trials and tribulations, bittersweet labour of love that somehow manages to breathe some new life into one of the largest franchises in the world.
