Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga seems to be one of the most anticipated games of the year. That shouldn’t be much of a surprise, given how many Lego fans there are, how many Star Wars fans there are, and how many video game fans there are, not to mention the sizeable cross section in this very nerdy diagram - I am one of you and I come in peace - and the fact the game itself looks pretty damn good.

The Skywalker Saga, as the name implies, contains all nine movies, but Lego-ised. Well, it sort of implies that. Despite them retconning Rey being a nobody from nowheresville into being a full-on Skywalker, we all think of Luke as ‘Skywalker’, not Rey (who’s just Rey) and Anakin (who we think of as Darth Vader). In any case, it’s all nine movies, which is why I wouldn’t recommend Marvel Superheroes despite my love of it.
