Nute Gunray, the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, is a playable character in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

With over hundreds of characters to unlock and take into the nine episodes of the Star Wars franchise, it is no surprise that a dastardly character such as Nute Gunray can be controlled by players.

He first appeared in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and was a mainstay throughout the prequel films and the Clone Wars animated series. However, players will have to be patient and unlock him in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.

Viceroy Nute Gunray is not unlockable through the Episodes in which he appears. The prequel trilogy does not provide the Neimodian Separatist for players to take into the free exploration mode.

Instead, players will have to start with the original trilogy, with Episode IV: A New Hope.

Any level that has free-play available will allow players to access that level with any character they want.
