While LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga brought together all nine mainline Star Wars movies, along with over 300 playable characters and 24 massive planet biomes, some fans still saw room for improvement. For example, the Star Wars spin-offs didn’t get any dedicated missions, only receiving a nod via some DLC character packs. With a Disney and Marvel Games Showcase taking place next month, and LEGO Star Wars confirmed to show up, those fans might finally get their wish.

What To Expect From LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga’s Appearance at the Showcase
Announced a few weeks ago, Marvel and Disney are hosting their own games showcase on September 9. Along with new looks at Marvel’s Midnight Suns and Disney Dreamlight Valley, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is also slated to have an appearance at the event. This news has surprised a good portion of LEGO Star Wars fans, as aside from the first few character DLC packs and a handful of patches, The Skywalker Saga hasn’t really been updated since its initial launch.
The most likely announcement to come from LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga during the Disney and Marvel Games Showcase is that the game will receive a new wave of character DLC packs. The last few DLC character packs have added some Clone Wars, Rogue One, Bad Batch, and Mandalorian characters to the game, so it seems likely that a potential new DLC will follow suit, adding some characters from the recently released Obi-Wan Kenobi show. It could also be the case that some more Clone Wars characters come to the game, and possibly even someone like Cal Kestis from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
While it’s much more likely that any upcoming LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga DLC will be some form of character packs, as it’s simply much easier to develop, TT Games could surprise fans and announce a bigger expansion. Some new missions based on some of the Star Wars spin-offs like Rogue One and Solo could be a possibility for an expansion, and maybe even a new planet to explore along with it.
To truly surprise fans, TT Games could even go so far as announcing a large-scale Clone Wars expansion, which adapts all seven seasons of the show and brings new planets like Ryloth, Christophsis, and Toydaria to the game. Of course, this hypothetical DLC would also bring a slew of Clone Wars characters to the game, adding onto those who already made the cut in the base game. Some new space vehicles and capital ships would also go nicely with this expansion, such as General Grevious’ flagship, the Malevolence.
Of course, this is all just speculation. While more DLC character packs are much more likely to be announced than any large-scale expansions that add new planets and missions, it’s important for fans to temper their expectations regardless.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
