LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is Free On Epic Games Store Until December 12

This is a great example of why it often pays off to be a patient gamer.Epic Games Store frequently offers free gamesfor gamers to pick up, and it’s sometimes worth waiting to see if a title goes on there in its regular rotation.That said, it’s strange to seeLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagaon there just two years after its launch. There are certainly no complaints, though. With the amount of content on offer here, it’s well worth trying, even for non-Star Warsfans who have never seen the movies or played previousLEGOtitles.

Given that someLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagareviewscalled this the best compilation depicting the popular film franchise to date, Traveller’s Tales is in a slightly awkward spot going forward. Until moreStar Warsmovies are released, it’s difficult to see how there can be moreLEGO Star Warsgames, given it has already produced the definitive versions of the nine mainline movies. Something akin to 2011’sLEGO Star Wars 3: The Clone Warsis always possible, and it’ll be interesting to see what happens with the series going forward.
