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 theoriginalStar Warsmovie 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 Sagahas gone gold, and its release date is less than a month away, so hopefully more clarification on the DLC comes sooner rather than later.
