LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagahas gone gold, which is fantastic news. At long last, fans no longer have to worry about Traveller’s Tales' ambitiousLEGO Star Warstitle getting delayed once more. The game took about a year and a half longer than expected, but soon fans will have their hands onLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.The release has been a long time coming, and while the impending launch is worth celebrating,The Skywalker Saga’s release begs the question of what could be next for Traveller’s Tales' line of licensedLEGOgames. That question includesThe Skywalker Sagaitself.
AlthoughThe Skywalker Sagais finished, Traveller’s Tales may not be through working on it overall. Fans know that the game will launch with several DLC character packs available, but more importantly, there’s always a chance that Traveller’s Tales will work on some richer DLC for the game. It certainly ought to; whileThe Skywalker Sagaunites the stories of all nine coreStar Warsfilms, it misses out on a lot ofStar Warsstories that could generate some highly compelling story levels and overworld planets. Rather than starting work on anotherLEGO Star Warsgame, Traveller’s Tales should consider producing more DLC forThe Skywalker Saga.

Possible DLC for The Skywalker Saga
The confirmed DLC packs forThe Skywalker Sagaare definitely nothing to sneeze at. They may not come with extra levels, but they offer representation for a ton of influentialStar Warsstories from recent history. Represented among the DLC packs areThe Mandalorian’s first and second seasons,Solo: A Star Wars Story, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,andStar Wars: The Bad Batch.These shows and movies are filled with characters who have no presence in the coreStar Warssaga, so the DLC will really helpThe Skywalker Sagacapture the vast web ofStar Warsstories.
Still, these shows and movies, as well as others likeStar Wars: The Clone Wars, have much more to offerThe Skywalker Sagathan playable characters alone. Ideally, Traveller’s Tales will whip up some story levels that retell iconic moments from each of these stories. Whether players fight to protectThe Mandalorian’s Grogu, or leap into battle against Count Dooku in an episode ofStar Wars: The Clone Wars,there’s no shortage of potential story levels that Traveller’s Tales could create. Even if eachStar Warsshow or film only gets one level, it’d work wonders to show just how much theStar Warsuniverse has grown since its inception.
Outside of levels, it’d be great to see Traveller’s Tales add some additional planets toThe Skywalker Saga’s overworld. Just like how manyStar Warscharacters don’t appear in the mainStar Warsmovies, there are all kinds of interesting planets that won’t appear inThe Skywalker Saga’s vast model of the galaxy. Players might battle Separatist droids in Christophsis' skyscrapers, retrace Han Solo’s steps on the streets of Corellia, or delve into a spice mine on Kessel. Adding these worlds toThe Skywalker Sagawould be a great way to show how the Skywalker family’s story only scrapes the surface of the greaterStar Warsuniverse.

Good Cause for LEGO Star Wars DLC
Level and planet DLC forLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagacould serve as valuable buffers betweenThe Skywalker Sagaandthe nextLEGOTraveller’s Tales game. IfThe Skywalker Saga’s ambitious new features live up to expectations, then they’ll undoubtedly create major demand for another LEGO game. While there’s no way Traveller’s Tales can produce another game likeThe Skywalker Sagawithin a year of the original game, smaller DLC can help Traveller’s Tales get some extra mileage out of hype forThe Skywalker Saga, buying time for its next game.
DLC would also be valuable as a transition away fromLEGO Star Warsand into another type of licensedLEGOgame. Traveller’s Tales probably doesn’t want to make anotherLEGO Star Warsgame right now after spending so much time working onThe Skywalker Saga,so instead of trying to developLEGO Star Wars: The Clone WarsorLEGO The Mandalorian,it could produce some DLC levels for these stories, striking a balance between satisfyingfan demand forStar Warscontentand winding downLEGO Star Warswork ahead of a new project based on a different IP.
It’s definitely a shame to think that greatStar Warsmedia likeThe Clone Wars, The Mandalorian,andRogue Onelikely won’t get their ownLEGO Star Warsgames anytime soon, especially withThe Skywalker Saga’s mechanical innovationsin mind, but fans should remain patient.LEGO Star Warsis arguably the backbone of Traveller’s Tales’LEGOfranchise, meaning the studio will inevitably return to theStar Warsuniverse in due time. With the nine mainStar Warsmovies already assembled, the nextLEGO Star Warsgame will almost certainly be based on one or more of these other shows and movies. It’ll just take some time to release.
A Long-Lived Skywalker Saga DLC Series
While moreSkywalker SagaDLC would be great, Traveller’s Tales shouldn’t rush to deliver one. According to recent reports,The Skywalker Saga’s developers have experienced serious crunchin recent history. Traveller’s Tales needs to give its developers time to rest, and any additionalSkywalker SagaDLC ought to be developed under a more measured, healthy schedule.The Skywalker Sagalooks like an incredible game, but it’s terrible to hear that developers suffered in order to make it possible.
Traveller’s Tales has little reason to rush additional concent forThe Skywalker Sagaanyhow. The scale of its overworld, the sheer number of story levels, and the long list of collectibles thatThe Skywalker Sagaoffers will probablykeepLEGO Star Warsfans busyfor a long time. Instead of hurrying to provide fans with more content, Traveller’s Tales would be wise to weave new levels and planets intoThe Skywalker Sagaover the proceeding months. The upcomingLEGO Star Warsgame looks like a groundbreakingStar Warsexperience, so hopefully Traveller’s Tales celebrates that by adding on even moreStar Warsexperiences over a long period time.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagareleases on Jul 01, 2025, for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
