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. 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.

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.

Field of view (FOV)

Use Flawless Widescreen[citation needed]
Can cause minor visual glitches, such as sudden changes in the camera FOV and Z-fighting on distant objects with the WallClip Fix enabled. Download and install Flawless Widescreen. Search for "LEGO SW: Skywalker Saga" in the plugin list. Install the plugin, and adjust the FOV values to your liking. The FOV clamping controls FOV limits while sprinting (max) and aiming (min).

Use a cheat table[citation needed]

This cheat table will lock the FOV to a static value for all actions which use zoom effects (e.g. sprinting, aiming). Usage of the cheat table can cause numerous visual glitches. Download and install Cheat Engine). Download and open The Cheat Table for the Xbox Game Pass version, or The Cheat Table for the Steam version. While the game is running, press F2 to activate the table (F3 for the Steam version, to avoid a conflict with the key for enabling Player 2,) and numpad +/- keys to adjust FOV

Issues fixed

Refresh rate resets to 60/50 Hz in fullscreen after using Alt + Tab or closing the game

Edit the configuration file
Go to the configuration files location. Open PCCONFIG.TXT. Search for ScreenRefreshRate and change its value to your desired refresh rate (Default value is 60 for 60 Hz). Save PCCONFIG.TXT and set it to Read-only in its Properties. Launch the game. Note If this doesn't resolve the issue, try enabling borderless mode in the video settings of the game.

Lag/stuttering in certain areas of the game

Switch to either fullscreen or borderless window mode
Notes Switching back to preferred mode after will still be fixed. This will have to be done every time the game is started up.

Mods

This section may require cleanup to meet basic quality standards. The specific problem is: The RRU guide is outdated compared to the one on the Engine:Nu2 page, and there some additional quirks involved for nTT, such as how DLC works. Also, DATManager is significantly faster at extracting this game's files, and should be recommended instead.. You can help by modifying the article. The discussion page may contain useful suggestions.

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.

Recently Witcher112 created a new software for separate characters called LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga Open Modding Platform.

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.

Additions

• Character Customization by jedijosh920 - Brings back the Character Customizer. Requires all DLC!

• Updated NPC Spawner List by lalalebow99 - Updates the NPC Spawn list for jedijosh920's NPC Spawner mod to be in alphabetical order and include all DLC characters.
