How to switch characters in LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga

One of the best parts of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the ability to play as any character from all nine movies. This seems like it should be easy, but it has changed through the many LEGO games. This newest iteration has to make using a lot of characters very easy, but it never explains how to do this.

How do I play as any character I want in LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga?

While in Freeplay, you use the left and right buttons on your D-Pad to switch between six characters in your quick select. To access all your characters and switch them with those in your quick select:

• Press the down button on your D-Pad to open your menu
• Go to the CHARACTERS Tab
• Go to the character you'd like to switch out and select them.
• You will get the characters that share the same menu as your chosen character.
• Go to the left until you get the menus to choose the type of character you want.
• The original character you selected will be replaced when you pick a character.
• If you'd like to switch the costumes of your character, press Y (Xbox) or Triangle (PS4/PS5)

While you can keep changing characters as much as you'd like, the activities in the game that require specific characters can be completed by anyone in the same group.
