Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga – The Best Vehicles, Ranked

Highlights

• LEGO Star Wars games have evolved since LEGO Island in 1997, adding more characters and iconic vehicles like the Death Star and Jedi Interceptor.
• Players can fly the Millennium Falcon and other famous starships in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, each with unique features and abilities.
• New ships like the Libertine and GNK Power Cruiser add humor and variety, offering different gameplay experiences in the galaxy far, far away.

Ever since the first LEGO game was released back in 1997 (LEGO Island), LEGO-style games have continually improved in terms of gameplay and graphics. With the release of the LEGO Star Wars series in 2005, players were finally able to play as their favorite Star Wars character in LEGO form. But, the first LEGO Star Wars games didn’t feature every character from the Star Wars universe until TT Games finally released LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

And even though this LEGO-style Star Wars game is missing some characters (from Solo and Rogue One), fans are more than happy with the current character pool. But, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has more than characters since players can also fly some of Star Wars‘ most iconic vehicles. As with characters, though, every vehicle has a unique set of features that make it better than others, so players would do well in learning which ones will get them to a galaxy far far away.

Updated on August 11, 2024, by Jake Fillery: More players are welcomed into the galaxy far, far away thanks to LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga joining the free line-up of games for PS Plus users. As such, those who want to venture through the galaxy in the best vehicles in LEGO Star Wars might want to check here to see some iconic ships in plastic form. The best ships in LEGO Star Wars might not provide the best method of attack and defense, but they are surely going to look cool.

14 Death Star (Micro)

The Planet-Destroying Space Station, But Fun-Sized

• Collect all 5 Minikits in the Stay on Target mission.

The planet-destroying Death Star is something that all should fear. Yet, players can’t exactly get their hands on one that is to scale, so they will have to settle for an adorable micro version. This LEGO Death Star is hilariously cute, and players will be able to see their character sitting on top of it since they will be far too big to actually enter.

Flying around space in the Death Star (Micro) is a lot of fun, and it’s surprisingly quick for its size. It just goes to show that Yoda was right when he said size matters not. Firing the Death Star’s lasers is also great, as although it won’t blow up planets, it will release a surge of green bolts that can easily destroy enemy starfighters in a few hits.

13 Jedi Interceptor

Anakin Skywalker’s Iconic Starfighter, Used During the Clone Wars

• Complete A Wrestle with Wesell mission in Episode 2.

To become a Jedi, players don’t just need the robes, the patience, or even the lightsaber. What they really need, is a Jedi Interceptor, which acts as the iconic vehicle used by the Jedi during the Clone Wars. When players unlock one of their very own, they will see that it has the appearance of none other than Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker.

Players can fly around in this humble and agile ship, enjoying its speed and firing capacities, as well as the fact that R2-D2 himself is strapped into the ship. This vehicle was seen in the iconic opening of Revenge of the Sith, but hopefully, this one isn’t torn apart by buzz droids.

12 Razor Crest

The Mandalorian’s Bounty Hunting Vessel

• Enter Code ARVALA7 into the extras menu

Before Din Djarin fathered Grogu, he would explore the galaxy in the Razor Crest, a ship that pre-dates the Grand Republic, and was used without credentials to freely explore the systems without verification. The Razor Crest is fast, and not a hunk of junk to be underestimated, especially with its heavy cargo hold that allows the Mandalorian to contain plenty of bounties in carbonite.

Whilst the Razor Crest may be destroyed, it all but lives on in LEGO form, and players can fly around the galaxy inside the Razor Crest, enjoying its tank-like controls and speed, as well as its durability to withstand the worst that the Empire has to offer.

11 ARC-170 Starfighter

A Clone Wars Vessel Used For Dogfights

• Complete the Breaker Switch Breakdown puzzle in Coruscant’s Federal District, and purchase for 35,000 Studs

Perhaps one of the most iconic ships from the Star Wars prequel trilogy is the ARC-170 Starfighter (Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighter). It was especially iconic during Revenge of the Sith, where fans could see hundreds of them battling against the Separatist army. These multipurpose starships were not only the perfect starfighter killing machine, but it was also capable of lightspeed travel.

In LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, players can pilot the ARC-170 Starfighter by completing the Episode 2 campaign. This starship is ideal for players who want to be quick while still packing a decent amount of firepower. Additionally, the in-game model is faithful to the source material, which any Lego fan greatly appreciates.

10 CR90 Corvette

The Diplomatic Vessel Invaded by Darth Vader and the Empire

• Complete the Boarding Party mission in Episode 4.

The first scene of the Star Wars franchise that fans remember from the big screen was that of a CR90 Corvette (Tantive IV) being chased by an Imperial Star Destroyer. This Corvette class cruiser has repeatedly reappeared in the Star Wars universe, mostly outfitted as a transport unit. But, at the battle of Endor, fans could see several CR90 Corvettes joining the battle against the second Death Star.

Star Wars and LEGO fans will be happy to know that the CR90 Corvette is worthy of being called one of the fastest shipsin LEGO Star Wars, despite being a larger space vehicle. But, as players can expect, flying this cruiser-type spacecraft requires decent piloting skills similar to that of Iden Versio or Hera Syndulla.

9 Libertine

A Space Yacht Swiped For a Joy Ride

• Complete the Enemy Territory mission in Episode 7 then purchase for 100,000 Studs

The sequel trilogy has always been controversial among the Star Wars fanbase. But whether a fan likes them or not, the sequel trilogy delivered dozens of beautiful new ships to the franchise. One such ship is the Libertine, a “starship yacht” that Finn, Rose, BB-8, and DJ stole to board the Supremacy star destroyer. While this ship lacks firepower, it makes up for it by being fast.

The Libertine is considered among the best ships to pilot in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga since it’s small, making it easy to maneuver through some tougher areas in the game. But, of course, players should be aware that it lacks high HP, so they’ll need to avoid getting hit too much.

8 Millennium Falcon (Episode 4 – 6)

The Fastest Hunk of Junk in the Galaxy

• Complete the Hunk of Junk mission in Episode 5

Players shouldn’t be surprised that the Millennium Falcon is among the best ship in Skywalker Saga, especially since it can complete the Kessel Run in twelve parsecs, according to Han Solo. Moreover, the Millennium Falcon has been continuously upgraded throughout the entire Star Wars Saga, and fans can expect Rey to make further adjustments.

Players can pilot the Millennium Falcon in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga in all its glory. And while there are three versions of the Millennium Falcon in the game (Episodes IV-VI, Episode IX, and Episode VII-VIII), the one from Episodes IV-VI is by far the fastest.

7 Ghost

The Iconic Ship of the Rebels Crew, Piloted by Hera Syndulla

• Complete the Ochi-Doke puzzle in Pasaana Plains on Pasaana, then purchase for 100,000 Studs

The Ghost is a light freighter piloted by Hera Syndulla in the Rebels animated series. This ship can fly under the radar of almost every Imperial starship, which is where it gets its iconic name.

Even though the version found in LEGO Star Wars:The Skywalker Saga doesn’t have its unique stealth mechanics, it still merits being included as one of the best vehicles. That’s because it has several powerful laser turrets plus two proton torpedoes. Players can unlock this ship by purchasing a Rumor for 30,000 Shiny Studs and completing the Ochi-Doke quest.

6 GNK Power Cruiser

A Giant Gonk With Flight Capabilities

• Purchased for 500,000 Studs after the completion of The Final Gonk side mission found in Mustafar Space

The LEGO game series has always been known to create some of the funniest scenes in the gaming industry, and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is no different. The GNK Power Cruiser is one of the many non-canon ships in the game since it’s essentially a giant Gonk droid. But, despite the GNK Power Cruiser’s hilarious design, it’s still an effective vehicle to use throughout the game.

This Gonk-inspired ship boasts a massive amount of HP, which can make specific missions a walk in the park. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have much in terms of firepower, so players will need to avoid using it for bounty-like assignments. Players can obtain the GNK Power Cruiser by completing the Final Gonk questline.

5 Kylo Ren’s TIE Whisper

A Heavily Modified Starfighter For Supreme Leader Kylo Ren

• Purchased for 100,000 Studs after completing That Sinking Feeling puzzle on Pasaana

Despite the Star Wars sequel trilogy splitting the fanbase due to some changes made to the universe, they still introduced dozens of new ships that most of the fanbase couldn’t help but love. One such ship was Kylo Ren’s personal TIE fighter, which he used throughout the movies until Rey destroyed it in Ahch-To.

The TIE Whisper in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is perfect for space travel since it’s fast and carries four powerful laser cannons, making quick work of any enemy starfighters. The main downside of this vehicle (and why it’s not ranked higher) is it can easily be destroyed due to its limited health bar. Fortunately, players can use some Cheat Codes to increase their chances of survival.

4 Escape Pod

A Small Craft Used by R2-D2 and C-3PO to Escape the Empire

• Complete the Escape Pod Cargo puzzle in Jundland Wastes on Tatooine, then purchase for 35,000 Studs

Most players disregard using the Escape Pod since it’s overshadowed by larger ships, especially ones that are starfighters. While some vehicles are slightly better than the Escape Pod, this unique ship can be effective due to its small size. Because of its size, the Escape Pod is one of the fastest ships in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

Moreover, it also has a decent attack speed rating, even if the base damage is lower than other vehicles. Players who want to use the Escape Pod will need to complete the “Escape Pod Cargo” quest and once completed can be purchased for 35,000 Studs.

3 Resistance Transport Pod

An Evacuation Bod Which is Used to Ferry People

• Complete the Episode 7 mission, Dameron’s Defiance, and find Finn’s clothes

Star Wars fans most likely recognize the Resistance Transport Pod from the iconic scene where Rose Tico and Finn piloted one to reach the planet Cantonica to find the infamous Master Codebreaker. The LEGO version of this ship deserves a spot in this tier list since it has the same speed as the Escape Pod and the same firepower as other starfighters like the TIE Fighter.

Unfortunately, it suffers the same penalty as other pod-like ships: a small health bar. But, the good news is players will not have to complete a hidden side quest to obtain it since it’s available early on in the game.

2 BTL-A4 Y-Wing

A Workhouse Starfighter Used For Bombing Runs

• Complete the Winging It puzzle on Yavin 4, then purchase for 100,000 Studs

The Y-Wing has been one of Star Wars‘ most iconic bombers since it’s featured in almost every Star Wars series and movie (except in the prequel trilogy). This vehicle boasts armaments found in starfighters and bombers, making it the go-to choice for the Alliance and New Republic Navy. And the Y-Wing in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga keeps true to the source material since it’s among the most versatile ships in the game.

As players can expect, the Y-Wing carries two powerful ion cannons that can stun almost any ship, not to mention it also has a proton torpedo. Players can obtain this powerful vehicle by completing the “Winging It” side quest in Yavin-4 (one of the best Planets players can explore in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga).

1 Naboo Starfighter

The Best Technology From Naboo, Capable of Great Speed and Warfare

• Complete the Episode 1 mission, The Leaking Hyperdrive

Undoubtedly, the Naboo Starfighter is the best vehicle in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga since it has the best speed and damage output. This starfighter is quite maneuverable, making it ideal to use during missions with lots of asteroids like the one featuring Jango Fett.

Besides its dual blaster cannons, it also has two proton torpedoes that can destroy almost any enemy ship. It takes some time to learn how to use it correctly, but once players get the hang of it, they’ll be able to breeze through most of the space battles featured in the game.
