How to Play Co-Op in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the latest in a line of LEGO games set in a galaxy far, far away. In this iteration of the intergalactic conflict, players can relive the events of all nine Star Wars films with the trademark humor and wit that can only be found in a LEGO game.
