Lego Star Wars player showcases some air juggling tech on the younglings

When gameplay intersects with prequel memes

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagais out this week, and players are discovering all kinds of cool and interesting things they can do in it. And, as it turns out, one piece of tech is resurfacing some prequel feelings.

Similar to other games, children inLego Star Warscannot take friendly fire damage. This makes obvious sense, as one wouldn’t want to actually harm the younglings,Anakin. But still being able to hit them means there’s a—possibly unintended—side-effect: they can be juggled.

Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga air juggling

Twitter userRedOrbFragmentshowed off some seemingly infinite air juggle tech on the younglings. Not only do they make good test dummies for combos, because they’re not as fragile as some of the actual enemies inLego Star Wars, but they can also be looped. In the video, Red Orb shows how Qui-Gon Jinn could, theoretically, take flight by repeatedly air-juggling the youngling.

so, children. at least this child, don’t take friendly fire damage, so i found my test dummy. also side note, you’re able to use children to cross large pits and void space. im calling this Child Flight@ddx_exepic.twitter.com/rkTzSQDNr9

Needless to say, I am looking forward to whether this tech makes the eventual Games Done Quick run.

Players have been discovering a lot of interesting tech inLego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, as it turns out. Our own Chris Carter notedin his reviewthat the combo system’s punched up a bit. And it does seem like there’s some fun to be had putting together combos.

AnotherLego Star Warsplayer, on Twitter as Aidan_Core, has been postingsome pretty fun and interesting videos. There are air combos, jump cancels, and more to find here, it seems. I heartily recommend watching the version I posted below, which laysDevil May Cry 5‘s “Devil Trigger” over the action. It’ll brighten up your Wednesday.
