Much like the prequel trilogy of films, Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga has gone from a forgotten title from the Wii and Xbox 360 era of consoles to a game revived by the internet and fondly remembered as the definitive Lego game.

However, since then, most Lego titles have fallen into the same formula crafted by Star Wars and fail to leave an impression. That is until The Skywalker Saga completely reinvented what a Lego game is.

This is the best way to experience all the Star Wars movies in video game form; every incredible moment from the saga is here, from destroying the Death Star as Luke Skywalker, getting the high ground as Obi-Wan, and even lightsaber dueling against Kylo Ren as Rey.

But you don’t just play scenes from the movies; The Skywalker Saga takes elements from games like Breath of the Wild to create a thriving open world with lots of things to do and secrets to find; every inch of the map is put to use.

And it doesn’t end there, as there are tons of innovative new mechanics to the Lego formula, including a skill tree and combos, making sure all characters stand out in their way and giving you a reason to want to unlock each one, unlike in previous games where a lot of them feel the same.
