Star Wars: LEGO Takes On The Skywalker Saga
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Trailer Debuts
We’ve been waiting a while for this one. And we’ll be waiting a while more.
In June 2019, when the project was first announced, I wrote:
For my part, the LEGO Star Wars games are some of the most faithful representations of the Star Wars movies; humor notwithstanding, each of the games captured the spirit of the franchise.
And at the time, we thought the game would be hitting consoles this year. I could not wait.
Patience, young padawan. Patience.
In Spring 2021, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will debut.

There are plenty of serious cinematic moments in the latest trailer for the upcoming LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga — from Luke Skywalker’s heroic X-wing trench run on the Death Star to the daring lightsaber duel between Rey and Kylo Ren on Kef Bir. But what sets the saga-sweeping game apart from other immersive Star Wars storytelling and high-flying adventures is LEGO’s cheeky sense of humor.
In a new trailer that is somehow both emotionally charged — that score! — and laugh out loud funny — those porgs in a cloak! — we get the best of both worlds ahead of the game’s arrival in spring of 2021 on the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC and Mac.
Here are 20 of our favorite Easter eggs, background details, and funny moments from the game trailer, spanning all nine Skywalker saga films.
Our favorite of Baver’s bingos is….
7. Got blue milk? Before Luke launches the final part of his rescue plan, precariously close to the gaping mouth of the Sarlacc pit, he catches…a carton of blue bantha milk? Who needs a lightsaber when you can chug a refreshing beverage, leaving behind the hint of a blue milk mustache.
And, after you watch the below trailer, be sure to check out Baver’s other 19 Easter Eggs.
My own favorite part of the piece? Tatooine’s twin suns, of course:
May the Force be with you!
