Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (sometimes abbreviated as "LSW:TSS" or just "TSS") is an open world action-adventure game featuring Lego-styled reinterpretations of the nine Star Wars "Episode" films. It is the first and only game run on TT Games's in-house nTT engine.
The game was officially announced at Microsoft's E3 2019 press conference, suffering several delays before finally being released on April 5, 2022 through Steam and the Epic Games Store. The game launched to critical praise and mostly positive player reviews, citing majorly improved graphics over its predecessors and attention to detail.[3] Most complaints regarding the game concerned a lack of a field-of-view setting and inconsistent performance.
The game features native support for ultra-widescreen, high frame rates, key remapping, and surround sound. Post-release patches aimed to add four new Capital Ships as free additional content, fix bugs and resolve performance issues of the game.[4]
On PC, there is an active small but growing modding community for all of Traveler's Tales's Lego video games, based primarily around a Discord server. Despite a brand-new engine, the community already managed to modify the game (by replacing characters and sounds, for example).
On September 10, 2022, Traveller's Tales announced the "Galactic Edition", which adds six more character packs to the game. It launched on November 1, 2022.

Mods
- See the beginners setup guide for instructions on how to configure the game for mod support. This specific version of the ttgames.bms script is required to extract the files.
- Requires the game executable to be patched. This does not remove any DRM.
- Setting up mods in this method requires extracting the game's .DAT files, which noticeably increases file size, increases load times, and may disable achievements.
- An easier method to install mods has surfaced with the LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga Script Hook.
- However, most mods made with the script hook in mind require all DLC to be installed. In addition, the script hook currently doesn't work with the most recent version of the game.
Bug-fixes/Improvements
- Aayla Secura arm fix by TheDrawVoid - Changes the colour of Aayla Secura's left arm to be brown for accuracy with her IRL minifigure.
- Burnt Anakin with fixed Lightsaber by MaxNova010 - Changes the colour of burnt Anakin's lightsaber to be red for accuracy with his IRL minifigure.
- DLC fix by SirYodaJedi - Fixes the DLC characters not appearing on the character roster after extracting the game's .DAT files. Place files in
<path-to-game>
.
- Ep2 Obi-Wan Back Texture Fix by Bario The Weird - Obi-Wan Kenobi (Episode II)'s robeless variant has the back texture of his robed variant; this mod replaces it with the correct texture.
- Lando Ep5 Torso Adjustment by Haidro6848 - Changes the colour of Lando Calrissian's torso and arms to be medium blue for accuracy with his IRL minifigure.
- Modern Clone Faces by Bario The Weird - The Clone Trooper faces use their design from 2013; this mod changes them to resemble their newer design from 2020.
- Modified Menu Screen by Sub2Rhys - Replaces Rey's "I need someone to show me my place in all this." line in the title screen with the more iconic "I am a Jedi, like my father before me." line from Luke Skywalker.
- Reva Hand Color Fix by Bario The Weird - Changes the color of Reva Sevander's hands from brown to black for accuracy with her IRL minifigure.
- Sith Hilts by Corytheguy - Gives all versions of Palpatine and the Emperor gold-hilted lightsabers, and optionally makes Darth Vader's lightsaber hilt black.
- Slave I Uncensored by Bario The Weird - Changes the name of Boba Fett's Starship to match its actual name.
- Training Flashback Luke Saber Color Fix by Bario The Weird - Changes the colour of Luke Skywalker (Training Flashback)'s lightsaber to green like in The Rise of Skywalker.
