After significant delays, the highly anticipated LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga launched to positive reviews from both fans and critics alike. As the sixth entry in the franchise, Skywalker Saga is easily the largest as it incorporates all nine mainline Star Wars films to play through, nearly 400 characters to collect, and plenty of secrets to uncover. In fact, fans have noticed plenty of Easter eggs and callbacks especially in idle animations such as Anakin Skywalker foreshadowing his transformation into Darth Vader.
Naturally, with so much content to play through and unlock, there's really no shortage of things to do for players. However, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will continue to expand through downloadable content, adding in features and characters which may have missed the launch. Considering the huge catalog of media to pull from outside of the nine mainline films, developer Traveller's Tales has no shortage of content that could be added. It's clear that fans are excited as well, as a new round of DLC icons has been discovered and shared online.
While LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has already seen a DLC pack release for The Mandalorian, a second season pack is right around the corner. The second season plans to add in some fan favorite Star Wars characters like Ahsoka Tano, and while players have yet to see what the minifigs will look like in game, a new datamine reveals their icons. In a post on the Lego Star Wars Video Game subReddit, user NinoSW1 grabs screenshots of all five icons for Ahsoka Tano, Moff Gideon, Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, and Bo-Katan Kryze.

Thankfully, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga players won't have to wait too long for this next round of characters as The Mandalorian Season 2 as well as The Bad Batch packs are launching on May 4. As expected, The Bad Batch pack features the core group of characters from the animated series, Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Crosshair, and Echo. It's unknown if more is planned to be added at a later date, though for now, these seven DLC packs certainly add more content to an already huge title.
While the game certainly has the characters that Star Wars fans would expect to see like Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and more, it also includes some of the more obscure ones as well like Sy Snootles and Max Rebo. The game even pays homage to some characters that have been removed from official canon such as the creepy ghost droid known as Nobot. Through a little digging, players can find Nobot wandering the back alleys of Mos Espa on Tatooine. Upon finding it, the camera creepily pans in, which is fitting considering Nobot's brutal backstory.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
