The wait for this game to finally hit shelves has been a frustrating one for fans. The developers can’t be blamed for all of the delays, as it can’t be helped, but the situation has annoyed fans nonetheless.

Hopefully, when the game does arrive, it’s worth the wait. The nostalgia behind these games for many people in the fan base is high, so no matter when it makes its way into households worldwide, It will be received with open arms and wallets.

As great as playing through all nine films will be, it’s hard not to want other eras to be explored. Will there one day possibly be a Clone Wars LEGO game? Perhaps one on the more recent Mandalorian series? Playing as Baby Yoda would undoubtedly cause sales to skyrocket through the roof.
