Whichever stage they pick, fans can expect a hilarious and detailed retelling of the saga of their choice as they explore over twenty unlockable planets and play as over three hundred characters.
The game also has new battle mechanics that allow players to gain mastery as they go, taking on enemies both big and small. These include counterattacks tailored to each of the iconic characters, but the fighting styles, of course, depend on the weapons players choose. Players could use a blaster gun, aiming with precision as they pick off enemies one by one, or wield a lightsaber, slicing foes down in the way of the Jedi, especially since players also have access to the Force to lift objects, and attack and influence others.
