Over the past forty-five years, the Star Wars series has delighted all ages with its space opera saga. And cashed in extensively on the merchandise. Even the LEGO Star Wars theme has been around since 1999, and the videogames since 2005. These games will reach their pinnacle today though with the release of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.
As the LEGO videogames continue to expand on their bread-and-butter platformers – save for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga – their new ideas excite us greatly. Following on from the beautiful LEGO Builder’s Journey is the newly announced LEGO Bricktales, coming in 2022.
After the recent State of Play, the team are off to Hogwarts to discuss all the magical goings on they can expect from the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy. Our muggles - Gareth, James, Darren and Richard - also have a ton of other things that to chat about in TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 121, including a preview of LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga, a hands-on with Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin and some considered thoughts regarding plenty of other games too. Be sure to give it a listen.
I could ramble on and on about the sheer volume of content in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, but I will save that for the full review of the game on Xbox Series X|S. However, be safe in the knowledge that it's on course to deliver its promise of being the biggest LEGO game yet.
It's been a good long while since gamers have had the chance to play through something combining the humour of LEGO with the lore of Star Wars, but very soon that is exactly what will be playing out in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

Can you ever have enough of the LEGO Star Wars scene? Well, if you're on the lookout for even more humorous LEGO antics, crossed with one of the biggest franchises from the big screen, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is going to be for you. You won't have to wait long to play it either, with an April 2022 release date now confirmed, all pushed along by a delightful new game overview trailer.
The journey may be short – lasting only a couple of hours – but LEGO Builder’s Journey proves that LEGO games don’t need to descend into silliness and collectathons to be enjoyable. Here is one of the most emotionally impactful stories in gaming in 2021, and it is done through the medium of LEGO in a very special way. LEGO Builder’s Journey is a huge tangent from what has been before, but it is also one of the best ever LEGO games.
There have been numerous chances for gamers to kick back with a super minimalist micro-world in recent times. In fact, just in the last few months we've had Cloud Gardens and ISLANDERS: Console Edition release. Now joining those is that of LEGO Builder's Journey.Â
I have to admit a sneaky like for the Pirates of the Caribbean films. So, imagine my joy when, way back in 2011, we heard that Traveller's Tales were developing a LEGO game based around the whole franchise.
It doesn’t seem too long ago that I was reminiscing about the LEGO Star Wars game which birthed a legacy in 2005. As of right now however, it’s time to celebrate a later instalment from 2011, while also taking a look at how it went slightly off-piste in terms of the gameplay and the source of its narrative.
