They definitely know how to take advantage of the completionist mentality. More instances where it feels like “the world’s most profitable and favorite toy brand” is nickel and dimeing it’s fan base. They did this with LEGO Dimensions: plenty of us got the we game/system early to help support it, and then around Christmas they released versions of the system packs that had exclusive Green Arrow and Supergirl minifigures w/ character fobs, basically making those that bought early either have buyers remorse or scramble to shell out more money (and energy) to get ahold of them. It would feel like a slight to those of us who supported the game early. I’m actually hoping they don’t include a new exclusive minifigure. It also feels like it may be why they purposely left out the “customized character” feature that had been present in just about every previous LEGO game from TT. I now understand why we didn’t see that for The Skywalker Saga…they most likely knew (since the game kept getting pushed back) they were potentially going to be adding more character packs later, and they wanted to be able to ask for more money. And it wasn’t just character packs, but supplement game “chapters”. Something around ≈$20-30 USD that pretty much got you covered. At one point-a least around the time of The LEGO Avengers and LEGO Batman 3 games-TT just did a “season pass” that would include any and all expansions that were planned to come out. Another case of how things have changed, not just for TLG, but also TT.

No news or anything yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if LEGO chose to include an exclusive minifigure in the Galactic Edition, like what they did with Blue Milk Luke Skywalker to drive sales of the physical copy. Tough luck to people that previously stumped for the previous ‘Deluxe Edition’ which included the first 7 character packs, but I guess if you want to expand your roster of playable characters, you could always just opt for the DLC instead of the Galactic Edition. Like The Skywalker Saga, it will be available for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC. The release date for The Skywalker Saga Galactic Edition will be 1 November 2022 (just in time for the holiday season), but no price has been revealed. If you’d like a physical copy, TT Games have also announced a new ‘Galactic Edition’ version of the game, which will include all 13 character packs, and the base game, and probably some more bonus content. The price for each DLC character pack is US$2.99 a la carte, or you have the option of purchasing Character Collection 1 & 2 in a bundle for US$24.99 or US$14.99 per individual bundle. Hopefully this hints at an updated Captain Rex minifigure being included in a set in the not too distant future! I can imagine fans of The Clone Wars to be very excited for The Clone Wars character pack, which depicts Captain Rex on it. These 6 new character packs will include playable characters from The Clone Wars, The Book of Boba Fett, Rebels, Summer Vacation, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Andor, adding to the existing 7 available character packs. Announced at D23 earlier today, TT Games, the developers behind the hit LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga game have revealed that more DLC (downloadable content) is on the way, with 6 new character packs are on the way.
