Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga's kids are indestructible – and your best untapped tool

techradar.com:

It's commonplace for video games to prevent players from running rampant and killing minors, and the new Lego Star Wars is no different. But wailing on the minifigs can be useful for more than just venting your frustrations.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga launched this week, and of course, players are testing the limits of what they can get up to within the bounds of the game. Slaughtering everyone and everything is just one of the many things to be struck off the list. 

Developers can't win when it comes to massacring virtual and totally-not-real children. It's either a novelty when you can, or has possibly hilarious consequences when you can't. But these Lego little'uns are proving to be incredibly useful in their indestructibility, as a bunch of gamers on Twitter are finding out. 

so, children. at least this child, don't take friendly fire damage, so i found my test dummy. also side note, you can use children to cross large pits and void space. im calling this Child Flight @ddx_exe pic.twitter.com/rkTzSQDNr9April 6, 2022

@RedOrbFragment tweeted that the children in the latest Lego Star Wars don't take damage, which is par for the course at this stage. But you can juggle the ever-loving snot out of them which transforms them from impervious god-tier NPCs to useful traversal tools.

In the video above, you can see @RedOrbFragment using this method to stay aloft. As he says in his tweet, «you can use children to cross large pits and void space.»

Further down the thread, he shares a clip from his Twitch channel(opens in new tab) where he ascends to the top of a Jedi statue using this method alone. It's a nifty trick if you're looking to hoover up out-of-reach collectibles!
