While the first Star Wars crossover in Brawlhalla featured the likes of Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi, this time around, the second wave of Star Wars characters seems to cover more ground across the franchise. Chewbacca and Han Solo make up one of the most beloved duos in all of Star Wars, while newcomers like The Mandalorian and Kay Vess both enter the ring alongside their trusted companions, Grogu and Nix. It’s clear that there is a bit of a theme in this crossover, as each set of characters are partners to one another.

The addition of Chewbacca and Han Solo brings good news for fans who are more partial to the classic Star Wars, but featuring The Mandalorian and Star Wars Outlaws characters are strong modern faces to balance everything out. Although Star Wars Outlaws was a divisive game, Kay Vess and her companion Nix were one of the strongest points of the open-world title, and it could be intriguing to see the two in a completely different genre.
Experiencing Star Wars In a Fresh Light
Star Wars games tend to skew toward the action-adventure genre. While that makes sense, a platform brawler like Brawlhalla can offer players the perfect opportunity to play as fan-favorite characters in a completely new way, especially for multiplayer fans. Games like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor are great, but some fans may be looking for a change of pace. For Star Wars lovers who are in the market for a different type of gameplay, Brawlhalla may be just the right game, as it boasts plenty of praised mechanics and features.
- Free-to-play
- Accessible, yet deep, mechanics
- Large character roster
- Up to 8-player co-op
- A robust list of game modes
- Strong cross-platform play
- Fast-paced
The biggest draw of Brawlhalla is how fun its multiplayer gameplay can be, and getting to experience that with a diverse variety of Star Wars skins could be appealing to fans who have been curious about, or even already love, fighting games. Platform brawlers and Star Wars don’t necessarily go together, at least on the surface, but the fast-paced and easily accessible nature of Brawlhalla makes it a strong blend that brings satisfying gameplay to the forefront. Brawlhalla has become well-known for its crossovers, and the upcoming Star Wars collaboration brings even more content.
