LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagahas become the best way to experience the franchise, but it leaves out major parts of the series. Traveller’s Tales remade all nine of the main films in LEGO form but chose to leave out theStar Wars Storyfilms and all the shows. Instead, those titles were represented as DLC character packs that players could purchase. Due to the success of the title,Traveller’s Tales is offering even more DLC character packsbased on more shows, but the game and those titles deserve so much more.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagahas a plethora of content for players to explore, but the lack of levels based onStar Warscontent outside the main series prevents the title from truly being a celebration of the franchise. Players do not just want to control the characters from shows likeThe MandalorianandTheClone Wars, they want to play through the events of those series. Traveller’s Tales could deliver that if it made story DLC alongside character packs, and the game deserves it.

Rogue One and Solo Levels
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagarepresents the nine main movies, but that leaves twonewer theatrical movies outRogue One: A Star Wars StoryandSolo: A Star Wars Storywere bothStar Warsanthology films that further expanded the franchise’s mythos, and helped add context to events that viewers had already seen. Both movies are present in the game via character packs, but players deserve to experience these stories.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Storytold the tale of how the Death Star plans were acquired before the events ofA New Hope. It introduced brand-new characters like Cassian Andor and Jyn Erso, and it brought viewers to new locales like Scarif. While the characters have gotten LEGO-fied, the story and locales have been left on the cutting room floor. The movie was received very well by the fan base, andits companion showAndorhas also been widely well-received. Both deserve to be present in the game, and Traveller’s Tales should deliver.
Solo: A Star Wars Storyfailed to make an impact at the box office, but it still has a lot to offerStar Warsfans. It told the story of a young Han Solo as he traversed the criminal underworld and how he met Chewbacca. It was a fun adventure through the galaxy, and it could be even more fun in LEGO form. Letting players race through the streets of Corellia or participate in a train heist could be a wild ride, and would make greatLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker SagaDLC.
Disney Plus Themed Levels
Solo: A Star Wars StoryandRogue One: A Star Wars Storyshould be a part of the game, and so should the TV shows. All the current Disney Plus shows are present as character packs, butStar Warsfans want to actually experience them in the game. They want tofight Darth Vader during the events ofObi-Wan Kenobi, they want to ride a Rancor through Tatooine duringThe Book of Boba Fett, fans would love protecting Grogu duringThe Mandalorian, and many would be thrilled to combat Darth Maul at the end ofThe Clone Wars. While it is fun to control these characters, it would be even better if Traveller’s Tales let players play through the narratives.
Adding a couple of levels themed after these various Disney Plus shows and movies could go a long way to makingLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagathe definitiveStar Warsexperience. There are no signs that Traveller’s Tales has any plans for that, but it should really consider it. It comes so close to being the bestStar Warsgame around, and all it needs is a bit more content to get there.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagais available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
