This is a Character Pack addon for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, requiring the base game to play. Released in 2022, it enhances gameplay by adding five specific characters from The Mandalorian Season 1—including The Mandalorian, Cara Dune, and Kuiil—into the existing adventure structure. Players use these new figures' unique abilities to revisit levels and hubs across the main saga, focusing purely on roster expansion rather than new story content or mechanics.
As an add-on pack, this content requires ownership of the base game, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, to be utilized. Its primary function is to inject new playable figures into the game's vast character selection pool, which is accessible across the main saga's nine films and various free-roam hubs. The scope of this pack is focused and character-centric, offering a small but distinct set of additions rather than a substantial narrative expansion.
The appeal lies in the ability to use these specific characters within the established LEGO gameplay framework—smashing objects, solving environmental puzzles using unique character skills, and engaging in light combat across the galaxy spanning multiple eras of the Star Wars universe.
This specific character collection brings figures directly inspired by the first season of the popular Disney+ series, The Mandalorian. Players gain access to several key figures central to that narrative:
Each new character brings their own set of unique abilities, which are crucial for unlocking secrets and accessing hidden areas within the main game's levels and open-world hubs. For instance, characters like IG-11 or The Mandalorian may possess specific scanning, heavy weapon, or grappling abilities that differ from the standard roster, encouraging players to replay levels to discover previously inaccessible collectibles using these new additions.
This character pack was made available across all major platforms supporting the parent game. Players can access this content on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC (Microsoft Windows), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
The core loop remains consistent with the base game: players explore, engage in puzzle-solving that requires specific character types (like Scavenger, Protocol Droid, or Bounty Hunter), and collect studs and Minikits. The addition of these characters simply provides new tools to interact with the existing environments and challenges.
