While LEGO video games often have a dedicated group of fans, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga appears to have made a bigger splash than normal. Since it was released at the beginning of the month, many players have been checking out the newest edition of the LEGO Star Wars series. The game has been so popular that it sold more physical copies in the UK than Elden Ring. Following this impressive release, it appears as though the developer has no intentions of slowing down.
Already, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has released several rounds of DLC for the game that add new characters for players to check out. For example, one pack introduced the Mandalorian accompanied by Grogu, also known as Baby Yoda. Recently, it was revealed that even more Minifigures had been made available for purchase, this time with a classic feel.
In a tweet from the official LEGO Star Wars Game Twitter account, it was announced that the Classic Character Pack is now available for purchase in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. With the release of this new DLC content, fans now have the opportunity to play as some of their favorite Star Wars characters with a retro look. In a collage of images shared by the developer, classic characters Darth Vader, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Lando Calrissian featured a distinct look reminiscent of the LEGO Minifigure designs from some of the original Star Wars LEGO sets.
Each character had less detail compared to the newer designs seen in the game, and Leia and Han even included the iconic yellow plastic look found with older LEGO kits. While not seen in the tweet, Luke Skywalker has also received a classic makeover in this Classic Characters Pack. For those interested in taking a trip down memory lane with these Minifigures, this DLC is available for $2.99.
While this Classic Character Pack is doubtlessly exciting for a number of Nostalgic gamers, it is not the only new content recently released for the game. In addition to these classic Minifigure designs, gamers can pick up the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Pack. Including characters such as Jyn Erso, Cassian Andor, and K-2SO, this collection lets fans play as some of their favorite heroes from the 2016 movie that was a prelude to the events seen in Star Wars: A New Hope. Like the Classic Character Pack, this Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Pack is purchasable for $2.99.
It is worth noting that both of the packs mentioned above can be purchased as part of the LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Character Collection Pack. For $14.99, players can receive every character from the Classic Characters Pack and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Pack, as well as five more DLC packs available for the game.
LEGO Star Wars: the Skywalker Saga is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
