The game features hundreds of playable characters, including heroes like Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, Leia Organa, and Poe Dameron — and villains like Darth Vader and Kylo Ren.

“I’ve spent almost 50 hours on this game, and I haven’t even completed 1-3,” raved one five-star reviewer. “I have played almost all the Lego games available on the Switch. This is seriously one of the best, if not the best…The free play is a blast, but doesn’t distract too much from the main story. The player will want to keep progressing to unlock new areas and planets, as well as new characters and abilities.”
