Game Music 4 All

Tessa Verplancke and Simon Withenshaw chat with SPIN about creating the audio of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

Calling LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga “huge” is probably still an understatement. As one might’ve guessed from the title, the latest LEGO-based video game features their signature stylized version of all nine main Star Wars tales.

To tell those stories, the game features more than eight hours of music by legendary Star Wars composer John Williams and additional two-and-a-half hours of additional new music — and that’s not even counting the 15,000 lines of dialogue (per each of the game’s 9 available languages) strewn throughout the massive undertaking.

The Skywalker Saga’s launch last month was also unsurprisingly one of the biggest in LEGO history, as bringing all of the beloved (and less beloved) Star Wars movies into one family-friendly humor-filled game was bound to be popular. But even now, TT Games continues to build upon their success, adding two new character packs based on The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch as DLC announced today.

Check out the trailer for the new additions below as well as SPIN’s exclusive interview with lead sound designer Tessa Verplancke and composer Simon Withenshaw.
