Lego Star Wars: Skywalker Saga provides players with over 400 playable characters, among which is the dark Emperor himself, Palpatine. Like most characters in the game, players will need to select the Galaxy Free Play mode to be able to choose and play with Palpatine.

To enjoy the many more characters that Lego Star Wars: Skywalker Saga offers players, they will need to head into Galaxy Free Play, in which players can roam any planet they have unlocked during Story Mode.
