Fans might recognise ME-8D9 from Maz Kanata’ castle in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and W1-LE, Lando Calrissian’s personal droid featured in Star Wars: Rebels, the animated series. Being able to run around with him in LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a real treat!įor those wishing to take a less combat-oriented approach through the galaxy, the ME-8D9 and W1-LE protocol droids offer more civilised methods to deal with conflicts, able to talk their way through situations. Equipped with his iconic lightsabres and a host of combat manoeuvres, he’s every bit as fearsome a foe as what you’ve seen in cinemas and on television – definitely one of my all-time favourite characters.

These three can certainly provide plenty of supporting fire to help you through LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens.īacking up all of these Battle Droids is their cyborg Supreme Commander – General Grievous. For the super fans, this is the droid that Luke Skywalker purchased in the original Star Wars film instead of R2-D2 until a malfunctioning motivator set into motion all of the events we now know to have shaped the Star Wars galaxy!Īlongside R5, we have IG-88, the chrome bounty hunter droid fans will remember from Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back who carries with him a unique heavy blaster rifle, capable of tracking down his foes.Ĭontinuing the theme of combat droids, players will get to use Battle Droids from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, including the Captain Battle Droid, Super Battle Droid and the agile Captain Commando Droid. For starters, we have R5-D4 (or “Red”), a lesser-known but important astromech droid to join your galactic quest. To show you what I mean, we’re here to reveal our latest vignette detailing this exciting content, have a look…Īs you can see from the video, these Droids are a cool bunch and should be familiar to many Star Wars fans.

Even though they’re machines, they still seem to have more personality and charm than a lot of humans do! Which is why it’s really exciting to be able to give players a pack that features these awesome characters. The Droids have always been some of my favourite characters in Star Wars films.
