LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga Palpatine

Palpatine, with all of his titles and influence throughout the majority of the series, is one of the prominent villainous characters in the Star Wars franchise. In LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, it is just expected that he and his many forms will be represented as playable characters that players can collect and play as through the different missions and episodes of the game.

In this guide, we will be talking about the different versions of Palpatine in the game and how to unlock Palpatine.

Who is Palpatine?

Sheev Palpatine, or known as Palpatine, is secretly a Sith who has secretly made his way through the ranks of the Galactic Republic until he usurped the highest power and turned it under his ruling as the Galactic Empire. All of his efforts just to make sure that the grand plan of the Sith to eliminate the Jedi will come to fruition.

His influence was what ran through the entire machinations of the prequel trilogy, showing his character as a senator all the way to the creation of his apprentice Darth Vader. He managed to expand his influence to the sequel trilogy when it was revealed that Rey was his granddaughter.

Palpatine has five different minifig characters in the game which are all playable once unlocked. They are all under the Dark Side class and all of them can be unlocked by just simply playing through the episodes in the game with no other special unlock conditions needed, but one of them can be unlocked through a cheat code straightaway.
