Eight classic Empire Strikes Back characters dropped into LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Hoth gear, bounty hunters, Cloud City weirdos - fan-service in brick form.

Let's be upfront: this is a character pack, not a level pack. You are not getting new missions, new story beats, or extra co-op puzzle rooms. What you are getting is eight playable characters pulled straight from The Empire Strikes Back and dropped into the Free Play roster of LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens. That roster includes Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia decked out in cold-weather Hoth gear, the cybernetic Cloud City fixture Lobot, a pair of Ugnaughts (yes, really), and on the bounty hunter side: Bossk, Dengar, and a genuinely cool variant of Boba Fett wearing his original white concept-art armor. If you did not know white-armor Boba Fett existed before this pack, that detail alone might make your night. The base game, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is a cheerful brick-bashing action-adventure built around the TT Games formula: smash everything in sight, collect studs, solve light environmental puzzles using character-specific abilities, and hunt down minikits hidden across every level. The Multi-Builds system lets you pick which object to construct from the same pile of scattered bricks, which adds a small but satisfying layer of choice to the puzzle sections. Two-player co-op is baked in, and the whole thing runs at an accessibility level that genuinely works for a mixed-skill group. Whether that group is a seven-year-old and a tired parent or two adults who just want something low-stakes on the couch, the game handles both fine. So where does this DLC actually fit? These characters unlock in Free Play mode, meaning you can bring Bossk or Hoth Leia into any level you have already completed in Story Mode. Their individual abilities slot into the same class archetypes the base game uses, so Boba Fett functions as your ranged/flight option and the Ugnaughts fill smaller-access roles. There is no new gameplay loop here, no fresh scenarios. If you have already burned through every level chasing 100 percent completion, swapping in a white-armor Boba Fett for another run is a genuine treat for Original Trilogy fans. If you are mid-playthrough and just want more roster variety, same deal. The honest caveat is that this pack only makes sense if you care about roster depth. The base game already ships with close to 200 characters, so the argument for buying individual character packs comes down almost entirely to which specific figures matter to you. Bossk and Dengar are deep cuts that Expanded Universe fans will appreciate. The Hoth costume variants are the kind of thing that scratches a very particular collector itch. If none of those names mean anything to you, the Season Pass - which bundles character packs with actual level content - is the smarter spend. But for the player who wants every corner of the ESB era represented in their Free Play runs, this does exactly what it promises without any fuss. Riley, Scout Team
