Fans have been waiting quite a long time to get their hands on LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, but the wait is nearly at an end. The LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga release date is right around the corner, bringing with it a significant number of LEGO Star Wars characters to choose from as players go through all nine films in the main series.
Besides the LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga playable characters included in the base game, others will be added as DLC. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has seven DLC packs planned as part of its Character Collection content, with some of those packs available on launch day, April 5.
It's been confirmed that The Mandalorian Season 1 and Solo: A Star Wars Story packs will be available to LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga players on April 5. There's been some conflicting reports about when the other packs will be available, but it's possible that the Classic Characters and Trooper Packs will also be available the same day. Looking ahead, May 4 will see the launch of The Mandalorian Season 2 and Bad Batch packs.

Besides confusion on when exactly each of the DLC packs will be available, there's also been some confusion about what exactly they all entail. For example, the Classic Characters pack includes key characters relating to the original Star Wars movie trilogy. However, players should already be able to unlock these characters simply by playing the game, as it's hard to imagine how the original trilogy could be done justice without them. Presumably, this means that the Classic Characters pack will essentially be alternate costumes, but that has not been clarified at the time of this writing.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has gone gold, and its release date is less than a month away, so hopefully more clarification on the DLC comes sooner rather than later.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga launches April 5 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
