But moments like this are few and far between, and more often you’ll run into Jabba the Hutt who does nothing but sit there, even as you swipe at him with a lightsaber. You can use a rendition of the gatling gun from the first episode of The Mandalorian to blast a hole in the base holding Baby Yoda and afterwards have The Child follow you around. That being said, there are scenes that are a bit more lifelike. You can only look at the scenes for so long before the urge to play an actual Star Wars game kicks in.

The AT-AT and snowspeeder are both made of placed blocks, blocks that can’t and won’t move. On Hoth, the player is treated to a scene featuring a snowspeeder about to shoot its tow cable at the legs of an AT-AT. When it comes to the look of these dioramas, the Minecraft team nailed it.īut because the 12 scenes are treated as dioramas, there’s not much to do outside looking at them. One of the Tatooine dioramas features a Jawa sandcrawler which looks exceptional by Minecraft standards on the outside, and on the inside has the rundown yet charming atmosphere these landships are known for. Players can take an X-wing or TIE fighter from one diorama to the next, and it is pleasant seeing rebels and stormtroopers wandering around the map. The map features 12 dioramas from the original trilogy and The Mandalorian, with scenes from Tatootine, Hoth and Endor ready for the player to explore. Minecraft’s Star Wars DLC comes with a custom map, 36 custom Star Wars skins, a texture pack, unique Star Wars mobs, and yes, Baby Yoda.

The latest media franchise to find a place in Minecraft is Star Wars, and while the franchise’s translation into the game features some impressive builds, it never breaks out of its blocky mold nor feels worth the cost of admission. Since the marketplace’s introduction, the Minecraft team has made DLC packs for movies like Jurassic World, Frozen II and even The Nightmare Before Christmas. In addition to bigger and more complex updates like the Nether’s recent overhaul, the introduction of the Minecraft marketplace has allowed modders and developers alike to throw their own additions into the game as DLC. Minecraft has come a long way since the days where the addition of wolves was enough to set server forums ablaze.
