Proof Of Skywalker Saga's Delays Are In Every LEGO Star Wars Game Box

screenrant.com:

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga contains proof of its delays inside of every game box. The Skywalker Saga is the latest in the long-running LEGO Star Wars series with a story stretching across all nine mainline movies in the franchise. Unfortunately, The Skywalker Saga was delayed multiple times due to a troubling development period. This week, fans of both Star Wars and plastic bricks finally got their hands on TT Games’ largest LEGO game.

Released six years after LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Skywalker Saga is much more ambitious than previous LEGO games. Instead of simply remastering the levels from the original two games and The Force Awakens, each episode has been reimagined with brand new levels, including The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker which hadn’t received the LEGO video game treatment before. TT Games has reworked the combat for The Skywalker Saga and opened up the galaxy to over 20 open world-like hub planets. LEGO Star Wars had a positive reception for its humor, gameplay, and variety in gameplay.

Physical copies of Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga contain advertisements of real-life LEGO sets showing proof of the game’s delays. The tiny flyer inside the game boxes features LEGO Star Wars playsets from the 2019 and 2020 series. The advertisement is marked with a 2022 date, but three of the five builds (Poe Dameron’s X-Wing Fighter, Sith TIE Fighter, and General Grievous’s Starfighter) have since been discontinued. This shows that the game was likely intended for release soon after Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker released in theaters at the end of 2019. This marketing mistake can probably be chopped up to the game’s packaging
