LEGO® Star Wars™: The Skywalker Saga Character Collection 2 Review Summary

Excellent character selection and fun gameplay offer high value, but lack of new voicelines, missing DLCs, and reskinned characters disappoint.

Excellent character selection: The pack includes a strong lineup of fan-favorite characters from various Star Wars shows, such as Captain Rex, Cad Bane, and the Ghost crew.

High value and worth: Multiple reviews emphasize that the pack offers great value for money, especially compared to buying characters individually.

Fun and engaging gameplay: Players find the new characters very fun to play with, adding fresh enjoyment to the game.

Great for long-time fans: Content appeals strongly to fans of the shows, with characters that have not appeared as real Lego figures before.

High-quality animations and effects: The DLC features fresh new animations and custom sound effects, showing more effort than typical mods.

Lack of new voicelines: Several players note the absence of new voice acting, even for characters whose voice actor already exists in the base game (e.g., Clone Wars Darth Maul). This makes characters feel incomplete.

Missing advertised DLCs: Players expected 6 character packs but only received 2 (Clone Wars and Summer Vacation). This discrepancy between promise and delivery leads to a strong sense of being cheated.

Characters are reskins: Many characters are just reskins of existing ones with no unique animations, abilities, or dialogue. Asajj Ventress is described as an Ahsoka reskin, and Maul and Savage are identical.

Pointless or useless characters: Some players find the characters fairly useless in-game or the skins pointless. This adds to the feeling of wasted money.

Microtransactions for singleplayer: The inclusion of microtransactions in a singleplayer DLC is criticized as a cash grab.

Similar movesets in older games: Players note that in older Lego Star Wars games, most characters shared similar movesets, which reduced gameplay variety and made characters feel less unique.

Not recommended overall: Several players do not recommend the game, citing it is not worth $15, does not warrant purchase, has low value for the price, and advise against buying even on sale.

Wait for a sale: Multiple players advise waiting for a sale, especially for 80% off or buying from third-party sellers for around $3, and suggest waiting for a big discount on the Galactic Edition.

Buy alternative editions: Players recommend buying Collection 1+2 or the Galactic Edition instead, ideally on sale, rather than this individual pack.

Only for fans: The game is recommended only for big fans of the shows or fans of the game itself.

Avoid individual DLC: One player advises avoiding buying the individual pack DLC.

Community fair range: $14.99 - $24.99.

Completionist Value Seeker: Completionist who plays until all achievements and content are exhausted, then seeks meaningful new content. Motivation: Maximizing game content and value for money. Stance: deep sale.

Casual Franchise Fan: Plays the game casually, interested in character aesthetics but price-sensitive. Motivation: Enjoyment of the franchise and cosmetic variety. Stance: sale.
