LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga: Solo: A Star Wars Story Character Pack

I'll be straight with you: this is the kind of DLC that makes shooter-brain me pause and ask what we're actually buying here. Six characters - young Han Solo, young Chewbacca, young Lando, Qi'ra, Tobias Beckett, and Enfys Nest - ported into LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga as playable roster additions. That's the whole pitch. No new levels, no new missions, no new planets. You drop them into a game that already ships with over 300 playable characters, and you use them in Free Play mode across content that was already built for everyone else. The base game is genuinely worth your time if you haven't touched it - TT Games overhauled the camera to a behind-the-shoulder perspective, added proper cover mechanics, improved aiming, and layered in an RPG-style Kyber Brick upgrade system across nine character classes. Scoundrel types like Han fit neatly into that class structure. The problem is every character in this pack slots into pre-existing class archetypes without adding any mechanical wrinkle. Enfys Nest looks cool. Qi'ra is a solid pick aesthetically. But none of them bring a new ability, a new interaction, or a reason to replay a level you've already cleared. The honest criticism the community landed on this entire wave of character packs is that they function as cosmetic re-skins. The Solo pack is one of thirteen DLC expansions, and notably the one that ships with six characters instead of the usual smaller count - so at least the headcount is there. The main game doesn't include Solo film representation in its base roster at all, since the campaign covers only the nine mainline Skywalker Saga films. So if you want young Han and Lando in your Free Play runs, this is the only way to get them. That specificity is where the value either clicks for you or it doesn't. Who should grab it: die-hard Solo film fans, completionists building out the full roster, and parents playing co-op with kids who specifically want Chewie and Lando in the mix. Who should skip it: anyone who just wants more content out of the game, anyone who finds the base roster already overwhelming, or anyone hoping DLC means new worlds to explore. The ask here is narrow, the delivery matches that narrowness exactly, and at least TT Games isn't pretending otherwise. Fred, Scout Team
