About this game

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens takes players deeper into the new film than any other game with all of the heroic characters from the movie, including Rey, Finn, Poe Dameron, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and BB-8, as well as Kylo Ren, General Hux and Captain Phasma, while also exploring iconic Star Wars locales, such as Jakku and Starkiller Base. This game introduces new gameplay features, including the enhanced “Multi-Builds” system, where players can choose from multiple building options to advance the game. Gamers will be able to engage in intense new Blaster Battles for the first time, utilizing surrounding environments to drive back the First Order. Fans can also experience the thrill of high-speed flight gameplay through arena-based battles and dogfights in space, while utilizing a multitude of vehicles along the way, including the legendary Millennium Falcon.

This LEGO adventure retells the story of the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens in a playful, brick-built style. Set roughly thirty years after the fall of the Empire, it follows a scavenger named Rey and a runaway trooper named Finn, who become caught up in the fight between the Resistance and the sinister First Order. Their paths cross with familiar heroes as they help protect a small droid carrying information vital to both sides. A prologue also recreates the earlier Battle of Endor, bridging the gap to the main story.
