LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Is Coming To Nintendo Switch

Yeah, I'm sold. Nine films in one!? YES!!

Almost pulled the trigger last time Lego Star wars was on sale, glad I didnt. This is another instant purchase for us.

Day 1 purchase for me. Love the Lego Star Wars games.

So question is, is it The Complete Saga + Lego TFA + the other 2 movies or are all the past 7 episodes remade and different?

Either way, good stuff.

Wonder how this will turn out, most of the movies have already been lego-ified

Should be good anyway, it's a Lego game so we know what we're getting at this point.

LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game is the best video game ever made. If this game handles the prequels in the same way as the original game, this is a must have

The star wars game on Wii u had some frame rate issues. Since the switch is supposed to be more powerful I hope we don't have this issue again.

I hope the goofiness and fun of the old games that didn’t have voice acting is brought back out with this game. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens had some fun parts to it, but it severely lacked in bringing out that Lego charm that 1, 2, The Complete Saga, and even The Clone Wars had in their own respective games.

I hope they do Rogue One as DLC

They’re making it sound like it’s not the original LEGO Star Wars collection game (+ new) from a few years back but rather all new content. Either way I’m interested since I never got to playing it.

Yeah, they are billing it as “an all new game” so I don’t think it’s a straight port of the old games plus new content. Seems like new from start to end.

Finally there's a Star Wars game on switch!

This could be a fairly content packed game, assuming there are more than like 2 missions to represent each of the 9 films.

If that's the case, it should be one of the better LEGO titles and a good way to play through the entire Star Wars saga, in LEGO form.

No thanks, there are only 6 Star Wars movies I care about and I have the Lego games for them on Steam.

OMG yes! I loved the first 6 when I was younger and haven't played the new ones.

@Angelic_Lapras_King Definitely a new game. The cutscene of Luke losing his arm is completely different from how it originally went.

The entire Skywalker saga... minus The Clone Wars movie. Eh, what can you do.

@NerdyBoutKirby It was a show, not a movie. I mean, there was a movie, but it's not canon

I'm not a Star Wars fan, nor a Lego fan, but cramming 9 films into 1 game is pretty cool. Not going to buy the game as per the aformentioned reasons but I can appreciate this!

@ALinkttPresent Clone Wars is still canon. All the books and video games were jettisoned. Not that I really care what's canon or not. The old Expanded Universe is still better than three out of the four Disney Star Wars movies.

Loved that trailer, gave me a few laughs.

@Angelic_Lapras_King This and what I've read elsewhere make it sound like it's a completely new game. Call me crazy, but I'd kind of rather have a port with new content for the last two movies. I played one of the first two Lego Star Wars on my little brother's Gamecube years ago. Played it straight through over a few days while I was sick. I'd love to return to it on my Switch.

@Dr_Corndog My bad, I was under the impression that whenever people mentioned the Clone Wars movie, they were referring to the old 2D animated stuff. I've never seen Clone Wars, but I'm aware all the 3D animated stuff is canon

Honestly having The Complete Saga remastered was the most hype part of that presentation. I heckin loved Lego Indiana Jones and Lego Star Wars when I was a little boi, I remember hiding under the sheets for hours playing them on my DS. I just hope they don't have voice acting. I loved the Lego games before they introduced it but afterwards I just couldn't get myself to like it, it lost so much of its charm

No lie the thing I’m most excited for is the return of the Silent LEGO Game. I hated when they added voice acting, it took away from the comedy in the games.

DO THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

Wait... I thought EA had exclusive rights to Star Wars games...? Meh, not a fan of the comedy-laden Lego games of nowadays regardless. :/

anyone thinking this is a remaster or port + new content. Tt games has 3 teams making lego games and they release 3 lego games per year, they have skipped the last 3 months of 2018 and 2019 fully to let all 3 teams develop this game for next year. I can promise you it's a completely new game and it's gonna be huge.

@RevampedSpider I wish LEGO would do something not made by TT. They need a break from each other

Well, OK, but this seems like too much of a retread to me when we still don't have Lego versions of "Rogue One" or "Solo." I'll still eventually get it of course just for Episodes VIII-IX at the very least, but if it were up to me, I'd do a Lego game covering "The Last Jedi," "The Rise of Skywalker," "Rogue One," "Solo," and select missions from "Rebels" and the first season of "Resistance."

Maybe call it "Lego Star Wars: The Disney Era" and include DLC for "Phineas and Ferb Star Wars"?

@Dr_Corndog It depends on the specific stories. Parts of the old EU are absolute c***, and overall the Disney era has just had more consistent quality content. Sure, "The Last Jedi" has major issues, but "Rogue One" and "Solo" are excellent, as is "The Force Awakens" other than it being a rehash of "A New Hope." All three TV series to date have been mostly excellent, and the various new canon books and comics have also shown a high level of consistent quality with overall better continuity thanks to the dedicated story group.

I'm looking forward for this you might say Lego game fanatic.

@EmmatheBest EA has the license for games for a “core” audience. Stuff like Lego Star Wars, Star Wars Pinball, etc., would be considered more casual, I suppose, and can be made by other companies.

Can i buy the version that has the original Lucas Six?

The Star Wars Lego games were some of the absolute best! I will be buying this for sure.

I really want a Star Wars Lego game in the style of Lego City Undercover.

Definitely buying this on Switch!!! I loved the original Lego Star Wars games. I do hope that they take a cue from Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens and add voice tracks to the game. While the original games with their grunts were adorable at the time, I feel like we need voice-overs to modernize the Lego Star Wars games. But yeah I really can't wait for this. I know it's the Skywalker Saga but I hope they add content or DLC covering Rogue One and Solo: A Star Wars Story....maybe even some Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels and Resistance content too! The more Star Wars in Lego form, the better!!!

@ALinkttPresent Ah, gotcha. Yeah, the status of the 2D Clone Wars always confuses me.

@BulbasaurusRex Haha, that's why I'm talking about the Expanded Universe as a whole. Parts of it were awful--Darksaber in particular has got to be one of the worst books ever written. But parts were excellent, and it's definitely more interesting than Disney's super safe take on the franchise.

So I'm guessing from rhe comments that people prefer the prequel trilogy to the newer films? I thought everyone hated those? Personally i thought they were ok at the time but now they just seem dull, whereas i quite like the newer ones. Oh well, opinions and all that, not looking to start a flamewar! (We still say flamewar in 2019, right?)

@MischiefMaker I mean, I like all of 'em.

@MischiefMaker I think it’s a generational thing. Seems like a lot of people who were kids when the Prequels first came out loved them best, and tend to hate the Disney era most. Guarantee that today’s 10-year olds will rate Episodes 7-9 the most in the next 20 years.

It’s like with the different James Bonds - my theory is that your first Bond film sets up your personal template, that whichever Bond you meet first is “your” Bond, no matter what anyone else says. To me, Bond IS Roger Moore, all others are measured against him (even if I can still freely admit that half of his Bond films are rubbish).

@gaga64 I think you have a point actually. It's the same with video games. I know that what i think of as some of the best video games have been bettered, but because they hit me at that time of my life they just seem like classics.

Music, too. I still love new music but there are so many people my age and older who seem convinced that everything produced after their teenage years has been rubbish and only listen to the same old stuff. Of course, I also consider the albums and bands of my youth as classics.
