LEGO Star Wars: Skywalker with a little-known new character

Today is May 4th, which means official Star Wars Day, also known as the Fourth of May, is here again. However, in the last few years it has been true that this holiday is definitely not rich in new announcements or surprises. However, this year, this fact can be forgiven by the fact that just a few weeks ago, a large-scale Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 event took place in London, but even in this case, today there were some interesting events.

On Disney+, for example, from today you can watch the second season of the animated series Star Wars: The Vision or the first 7 episodes of the children’s animated series. Star Wars: The Adventures of a Young Jedi. AND something happened in the field of games. No, to get closer to Quantic Dream’s Star Wars Eclipse, Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft’s open-world project, Respawn’s shooter, Respawn’s strategy game and Bit Reactor, or the storytelling work of a screenwriter. Amy Hennig and the Skydance New Media team, at least at the time of writing. On the other hand, we have a novelty in the LEGO world.

Looks like TT Games studio is not going to forget last year’s hit by the name LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. This is evidenced by the fact that fresh free updatewhich was discreetly announced on starwars.com in an overview of in-game events and offers related to the official Star Wars Day, added a new character to the game for free. She is none other than Luke Starkiller.

we assume that someone may be confused by this namebut we assure you that this is not a typo, and not the main character of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and not a walking version of the battle station from the movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Luke Starkiller and his name taken from one of the old, partially unrealized footage of the original Star Wars movie script., which hit theaters in 1977 and is known to us today as the fourth series, subtitled A New Hope. The appearance of the character is based on the drawings of the legendary Ralph McQuarriewithout whose work the world of Star Wars would certainly not look the way we know it today.

The question is why the creators of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga decided to add this particular character and are they willing to reflect (or rather ignore) numerous fan requests for more characters, which naturally grow like mushrooms after rain in recent hours. But if you’re still playing the latest LEGO Star Wars game, you can now try out the new and rather obscure yellow lightsaber Jedi character for free.
