Ahsoka Tano shows up, in Lego form
It is May 4, the designated day for all things Star Wars. And on this May The Fourth, Warner Bros. Games and TT Games are releasing two new DLC packs for Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
As part of the day’s festivities, the new Lego Star Wars DLC brings characters from The Mandalorian Season 2 and The Bad Batch into the Lego universe. They’re arriving on all platforms today and are available for purchase separately, or included if you bought the Character Collection Pack.
Who made the cut? Well, on The Mandalorian side of things, it’s Clone Wars favorite Ahsoka Tano and Sarlacc favorite Boba Fett. The Mando pack also includes Bo Katan, Fennec Shand, and Moff Gideon.
For The Bad Batch, that character pack will net you Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Crosshair, and Echo.
These two packs join a long lineup of DLC character packs for Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. The DLC lineup has already added a bunch of extra Star Wars characters from outside the realm of the three trilogies, including familiar faces from Rogue One, The Mandalorian Season 1, and Solo: A Star Wars Story.
A galaxy bricks, bricks away
It’s a fun way to celebrate the expanded universe of Star Wars on the essentially official day of Star Wars. It’s not a bank holiday or anything, but this is the day when everything Star Wars coalesces.
Most of the announcements thus far this morning have been cool cameos like this, or giveaways of custom Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Xbox consoles. A new trailer for the Obi-Wan show also dropped, if that’s of interest to you.
For me? Well, I’m still eyeing the Lego Star Wars: Skywalker Saga prospect. As someone who’s been a bit burned out on the series since the, uh, less-than-stellar Episode IX, TT Games seems to have injected new life into its series and Star Wars at the same time. It’s funny, charming, a little bit more expansive than previous games, and has surprisingly cool combos.
