It’s possible The Clone Wars’ inclusion would’ve detracted from the real stars of this collection - the films being adapted - and might have resulted in the game feeling more like a Clone Wars game than one centered around the Skywalker Saga.

With seven seasons and 133 episodes, it’s not a stretch to assume that adapting the entire series would likely result in this spinoff of the Skywalker Saga taking up more in-game space than any one of the saga’s individual entries. While the first three seasons of of the show are chock-full of memorable moments that would be wonderful to see included in a LEGO Star Wars game, so are the remaining four seasons, and to only adapt the existing LEGO content would arguably do a disservice to the rest of the series.įurthermore, it’s also worth mentioning the sheer size of The Clone Wars. It bears mentioning that LEGO Star Wars 3 isn’t a complete retelling of the series, as it was released right around the time the third season was coming to a close the television show wasn’t even halfway through its seven-season run. If there was already a LEGO adaptation of The Clone Wars, one can’t help but wonder why it wasn’t included alongside the rest of the mainline entries. Many followers of Traveler’s Tales’ works might have raised their eyebrows upon seeing no sign that the the previously released LEGO Star Wars 3: The Clone Warswould be a part of the upcoming LEGO Star Wars collection.

However, the extent of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga’s post-launch support, if any, remains to be seen. As such, it stands to reason that any future Clone Wars content that The Skywalker Saga may receive might warrant more than just a few exclusive characters at launch, possibly explaining its absence in the deluxe edition’s seemingly simple extra content. That said, it is worth noting that this specific animated series has much more in the way of original characters, locations, and storylines than its neighboring shows, given its 133-episode run. Interestingly enough, despite its characters being heavily featured in some of these Star Wars offshoots, The Clone Wars is notably absent. The deluxe edition of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will have DLC consisting of extra characters from various Star Wars side-stories like The Mandalorian, Rogue One, and The Bad Batch. But that’s not to say any possible post-launch support couldn’t feature elements from the series. There’s no indication that The Clone Wars will be a part of this package, at least at launch. So far, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is only confirmed to adapt the nine numbered entries of the Star Wars films.
