One of the most popularStar Warsgames is currently on sale on the Switch eShop for what may be its lowest price ever. Games based on theStar Warsfranchise have a strong legacy and fanbase, and many classicStar Warsgames have been ported to Switch.
Star Warsis quite possibly the most well-known science fiction of franchise of all time, a legacy it has been building for nearly 50 years. Naturally, it has been the subject of many video game adaptations, with the earliestStar Warsgames going as far back as the early 1980s. Despite some tumultuous history such as the closure of LucasArts in 2013,Star Warsgames have continued to release to this day with games likeStar Wars Battlefront 2and the upcoming but recentlydelayedStar Wars Jedi: Survivor.

The most recentStar Warsgame,LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, is currentlyon sale on the Nintendo Switch eShop for $18, perhaps its lowest price ever. It launched last April as a LEGO adaptation of all nine mainlineStar Warsfilms, including those that had been adapted in previousLEGO Star Warsgames. It launched to positive reviews and continued to get post-launch support, as well asDLC based onThe Mandalorian,Andor, and other recentStar Warsworks.
Developer Traveller’s Tales has helmed theLEGO Star Warsseries since its first entry in 2005 and went on to makeLEGOgame adaptations of other franchises such asBatman,Marvel, andThe Lord of the Rings.The Skywalker Sagawas the firstLEGO Star Warsgame sinceLEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens,which covered the events of the movie of the same name. Following a recentreport that TT Games canceled work onLEGOgames based on Disney properties,The Skywalker Sagacould be the lastLEGO Star Warsgame that fans will see for some time.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagamay not be the onlyStar Warsgame in recent years, but its success has helped to capture the market for children who likeStar Wars. Compared to something likeStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, the demographic forLEGO Star Warsskews much younger, which helps diversify the catalog ofStar Warsgames. With the Switch already being popular with kids andThe Skywalker Sagabeing at such a low price, right now may be the time for youngStar Warsand Nintendo fans.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagais available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
