In the meantime, TT Games worked on other aspects of the game until Lucasfilm shared more details. ĭisney and Lucasfilm had not shared significant details of The Rise of Skywalker with the game team before the film's release. A second trailer showing one scene from all nine movies was released on 20 December to coincide with the release of The Rise of Skywalker. An announcement trailer premiered at E3 2019 during Microsoft's press conference. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was first teased to be in development by Lucasfilm sound editor Matthew Wood at Star Wars Celebration Chicago. Players can choose to engage in dogfights with them or continue onward to progress the story. For example, an Imperial Star Destroyer could suddenly jump out of hyperspace and send a fleet of TIE Fighters after the player. Random encounters will also happen in the game's hub. Many ships will have freely explorable areas in the hub as well, such as Star Destroyers and the Death Star.

Planets and moons confirmed by the developers so far to be explorable in the hub include Naboo, Tatooine, Coruscant, Kamino, Geonosis, Kashyyyk, Utapau, Mustafar, Yavin 4, Hoth, Dagobah, Bespin, Endor, Jakku, Takodana, D'Qar, Starkiller Base, Ahch-To, Cantonica, Crait, Ajan Kloss, Pasaana, Kijimi, Kef Bir, and Exegol. Much like its predecessor, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the game's hub will not be a single area, such as the Mos Eisley Cantina in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, but a wide range of fully explorable planets filled with many iconic Star Wars landmarks. The game features 300 playable characters. Combat has been revamped from previous titles, such as lightsaber wielders now using a variety of combos with light attacks, heavy attacks, and Force moves, and blaster characters having an over-the-shoulder camera (angle featured in many third-person shooter games). Each episode will have five story missions, making a total of 45 levels, contrasting from six levels per episode in previous games.

Unlike most Lego video games in which players had to advance through the story in a linear order, players can choose to start the game from any of the nine Skywalker saga episodes and complete them in any order they wish.
