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.[3] 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.[4]

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.
  1. Download and install Flawless Widescreen.
  2. Search for "LEGO SW: Skywalker Saga" in the plugin list.
  3. 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.
  1. Download and install Cheat Engine).
  2. Download and open The Cheat Table for the Xbox Game Pass version, or The Cheat Table for the Steam version.
  3. 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

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

  • 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.
  • Sith Hilts by Corytheguy - Gives all versions of Palpatine and the Emperor gold-hilted lightsabers, and optionally makes Darth Vader's lightsaber hilt black.
