Gameplay
The LEGO games have had a very formulaic format of doing things. They are very linear in their level designs, although quite cute. This is one of the biggest changes to the LEGO Skywalker Saga game. For this time we will have an open world video game.
An open world setting will create a more immersive role in the story than before. It will allow players to go to various areas in any manner they see fit and really get to explore the LEGO world of Star Wars. It won’t be just a linear experience, but one where you can do whatever you want, whenever you want, within the game's parameters of course.
It will also mean that the levels will be a lot more massive. Sure there will be a campaign behind it, but that doesn’t mean you have to go in any particular order. Open world games have become quite popular in the last few years and it’s good to see Star Wars take a particular interest in this genre of storytelling. This will be a big shake up for the gameplay and LEGO Star Wars as a whole.
Not only that, but open space combat will also be a thing. Normally, most of the missions will take place on the ground, but with Star Wars there is almost always a flying simulation component to the game. This open space flying will make for an excellent addition for the LEGO Star Wars gaming experience moving forward.
Forever Development
Games take time, there is no doubt about that, especially with crunch culture being a thing. Sometimes more time is good for both the game and developers. However, that doesn’t mean the fans can’t get a bit impatient, but sometimes it’s all worth it and it seems this game is going to be very much worth the long wait.
We haven’t had a LEGO Star Wars game since LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens almost five years ago. That is a long time for a LEGO game, but that just makes the wait all the more worth it. For they seem to have added quite a lot of features in-game. Gameplay options that will make things all the more fun when eventually playing this game.
Beyond
Star Wars games are a cornerstone of the franchise. They are the most immersive way to enter the realm of Star Wars. LEGO is probably one of the most beloved franchises outside of Star Wars and makes for a really fun and interesting game in the future.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has long been in the works and fans yearn for it. Hopefully it will live up to expectations. If it does, it will be considered one of the best video game entries in the Star Wars echelon. A worthy addition to that galaxy far, far away.

Star Wars Reveals Alternative Death Scene For Princess Leia
It is safe to say that Leia has had a bit of a resurgence of prominence in Star Wars recently. From the beginning of the sequel trilogy to recent novels and comics, Leia has become more integral to the plot of Star Wars than she was in the original trilogy. New information has also been revealed retroactively about her character in the original trilogy. Call it retconning or call it character exposition, it is a great time to be a fan of Princess/General Leia. Unfortunately, this boom of Leia content comes posthumously from Carrie Fisher and the character of Princess Leia. Despite the beloved Carrie Fisher passing away before The Rise of Skywalker, she was able to appear in the film due to unreleased footage. However, her death in that film was almost completely different from the final product seen in the film.

Peanuts and Crackerjack
Bottom of the ninth inning. The game is tied with two outs, two strikes and a man on second. I tap the bat on home plate. The rigid vibrations it creates reminds my aching digits that this isn't over. The practice swing only adds to the heft of mental burnout... Man on second, willing to chance it. Pitcher eyes him but doesn't give in to the dangerous bluff. I kick up dust, readying the peculiar stance I've had since the days of little league. The bat lays stiff upon my cramping shoulder. Pain has no reason to be acknowledged; it's a fleeting afterthought. The sun sits passed high noon, but the stadium lights are on anyway. They trick my brain into believing they are the cause of this sweltering heat. Sporadic clouds are motionless, they too, don't want to miss this exhilarating predicament. Anticipating the next pitch, intensifying roars from the crowd rumble the stadium... Behind me, the crafty catcher adjusts his stance and spits to the dry dirt. Behind him, the staunch umpire doesn't flinch or even blink; he knows how important his call will be. The pitcher winds up, his grip tells me its gonna curve. The release is fierce! Beads of sweat from his hair and face disperse in every direction as the force of his might is unfailing. My left leg lifts—an instinctual move that will increase the power of my swing. It's all down to my two, bloodshot eyes. They lock onto the speeding, white dot as it instantly becomes the target I intend to destroy. The swing is late, but I manage a solid tip. The ball is taking a fast bounce toward the pitcher who is recovering from the almighty throw! Man on second leaves in a desperate rush! I fling the bat to the side with a sense of urgency and make a mad sprint to the only destination I have—first base. Three defenders race inward to be the first to retrieve the skidding ball. Man is almost on third! I watch the open glove of my adversary, wondering if I’ve done enough to win this race. I switch my attention to his eyes, looking for a clue, some kind of reaction that tells me the ball is in the air and heading his way. All I see is frustration. The deafening roar of the crowd spikes! Something happens that I can’t see! My opponent abandons his post right as my left stride touches the bag. I waste no time turning my head to see the pitcher laying on his stomach, pounding the mound with an open glove. He misses the opportunity to out me and the ball has quickly bounced past him. Excitement grows! This isn’t over yet... It's become an imperative fight to tag out the runner heading homeward. The catcher falls to his knees in obvious despair as he watches my teammate make the run of his life. He knows it’s going to be close when he sees the shortstop fumble the ball a second too long. I jump up and down with no plans on leaving first base. All my chips are on the speed and agility of the active runner. His cleats dig into the dirt, trailing a dust-filled cyclone from the rapid and strenuous strides. With a thrusting dive and an outstretched arm, he lands on his chest to begin the crucial slide to home plate. The shortstop fires the ball to the catcher! It immediately begins closing the gap! Nail-biting doesn't begin to describe the anxious vibe permeating the stadium. The bench begins to celebrate even before he reaches the plate. Forty thousand cheering fans reach maximum crescendo, filling the air with a glorious sound. Everyone knows how this story will end… My teammate is met by the entire bench as his fingers inch across home plate, instantly followed by the unmistakable motion of the catcher's glove attempting to tag him out—its milliseconds too late. The ump swings his arms outward, officially calling him safe.
