Star Wars Lands in Minecraft

It was really difficult to pick an opening line for this post. I toyed with “In a biome far, far away…” and considered “Help me Steve, you’re my only hope!” Look, announcing one of the most exciting DLC mash-ups in the history of Minecraft is not as easy as it sounds. If that mash-up also includes one of the most beloved and iconic universes in the, well, universe, there are almost too many references at your disposal. I’m only human! Or am I a wookiee? Only my hairdresser can tell.

It’s your turn to put your hair up in two perfect buns, because the Minecraft Star Wars DLC has landed on our humble planet! Specifically, in the Minecraft Marketplace. The pack includes content from A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and The Mandalorian, so we had to spread out all the galactical goodness across 12 different planet dioramas.

This DLC includes a map, a skin pack, a full bespoke texture set, mobs and items reskins, UI treatment, and even a licensed soundtrack. Sadly, my cantina cover songs did not make the final cut but it’s still pretty good.

You can get to the Marketplace any way you like, but you’ll be able to fly out of there in an X-wing or Tie fighter. I won’t be taking either as I now only make appearances as a hologram, but not because I am no longer welcome in physical spaces anymore. Who told you that? Was it the Child?
