Indeed, I imagine there will be more than a few LEGO Star Wars fans who will be interested in playing through the Skywalker Saga in this order simply because it allows them to experience the LEGO Star Wars games in the order they may have originally played them. The interesting thing about the “Chronological” order in the case of the LEGO Star Wars games is that it not only allows you to experience the Skywalker Saga chronologically from a narrative standpoint but also lets you experience the LEGO Star Wars games in the order they were originally released in. The Original Trilogy ( A New Hope, The Empire The Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi).LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga – The “Chronological” Order
As such, this order is still a great way to experience the L EGO Star Wars games that also lets you play through some of the Skywalker Saga‘s best gameplay moments first. Still, the biggest argument for playing the games in this order remains the fact that both the prequel and sequel trilogies rely heavily on the events of the original trilogy. As someone who usually argues for watching the Star Wars movies in the order they were released in, I actually think this game collection offers an interesting opportunity to experience other arrangments in a different way. We’ll dive into this point a bit deeper as we talk about other play order recommendations, but the biggest argument against playing the LEGO Star Wars games in this order is that it doesn’t adhere to the release order of the previous LEGO Star Wars games nor does it allow you to experience the Skywalker Saga narrative chronologically. Of course, the LEGO Star Wars games aren’t the movies. After all, it’s the order those movies were released in. For years, this has been one of the most popular ways to rewatch the main Star Wars films.
The Skywalker Saga lets you choose to start your session in The Phantom Menace, A New Hope, or The Force Awakens (the first entries in each sub-trilogy). It also finally lets us experience The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker in their glorious LEGO forms.Īs is the case with the Star Wars films, though, the ability to experience all these adventures at once also raises questions about the “best” order to experience them in. While the LEGO Star Wars games have always been fun, The Skywalker Saga expands the scope of those titles in a way that makes them far more substantial without compromising the simpler pleasures they’ve traditionally offered. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a joyful triumph.
