About This Game

A LEGO action-adventure that compresses the entire nine-film Skywalker arc into one explorable, collectible-stuffed galaxy, played for humor and fan service over difficulty. Local co-op is its natural register: a second player joins or leaves at any moment, no account, no menus, across 45 missions, 23 planets and a roster north of 300 characters. For a mixed-age couch, that frictionlessness is the whole pitch.

The trade-off lives entirely in the shared screen. The fixed split-screen carves each player's view in half, and the new action camera fares badly in that space, tightening sightlines and complicating aiming in ways earlier LEGO games avoided; reviewers and players alike flag co-op as the weak seam in an otherwise generous package. Rated E10+, it is the right shared Star Wars for families and younger players who prize easy access, and the wrong one for a pair expecting tight, readable cooperative combat.
