LEGO Star Wars Characters Become Official Xbox Consoles In Giveaway

LEGO Star Wars Characters Become Official Xbox Consoles In Giveaway

Now that LEGO Star Wars: Skywalker Saga has been released and is raking in plenty of positive reviews from critics and players, Xbox is hosting a giveaway that rewards participants with consoles themed on the game. Microsoft’s popular home console is no stranger to novelty hardware releases, as the system regularly hosts commemorative designs for both the system itself and its accessories. Third-party tech companies have contributed to this as well, with a recent example of this being Razer’s special-edition Captain America Xbox controller.
The Star Wars franchise has long been associated with gaming in more ways than one. Apart from the innumerable Star Wars video games that have released over the years, the space opera franchise has had its iconography and characters splattered across all manner of gaming hardware, from consoles, to controllers, to high-fidelity gaming headsets. These hardware collaborations will typically accompany the release of a Star Wars game, such as when Sony released a Darth Vader-themed PS4 to go along with the launch of Star Wars: Battlefront – something the company would repeat with Star Wars: Battlefront 2.

This tradition continues with a collection of limited-edition Xbox Series S consoles that were announced through the Xbox Twitter account earlier today – just in time for the LEGO Star Wars: Skywalker Saga DLC launch. There are twelve total consoles themed after Skywalker Saga, each one depicting the LEGO renditions of popular characters like Rey, Kylo Ren, and Yoda. In addition to these character graphics, each console has a color scheme that applies to its respective character. BB-8’s console is grey and orange, for instance. Those who follow the Xbox Twitter account and retweet the announcement will be entered in a sweepstakes to win one of the systems.

May the Force be with you.
Follow and RT with #LegoStarWarsXboxSweepstakes and #Maythe4th for a chance to win 1 of 12 LEGO Star Wars Xbox Series S Custom Console and Controllers.
Age 18+. Ends 5/31/22. Rules: https://t.co/t5NJGuwaJt pic.twitter.com/QIrpmvC0hE

The tweet does not specify whether there are any plans to make these consoles available for purchase after the sweepstakes ends. However, since producing more of these Xbox consoles would greatly devalue them as novelty goods, it’s likely that this contest will be the only chance fans have to get their hands on these collector’s items.
While these LEGO Star Wars systems may not be as intricately detailed as other special-edition hardware releases like those from the Dr. Strange Xbox collaboration, they are still visually interesting and charming enough to grab the attention of many fans. Indeed, it’s likely that this sweepstakes will be popular with both fans of LEGO Star Wars: Skywalker Saga and Xbox, so those interested may want to throw their hat into the ring before it’s too late.
