LOS ANGELES — The popularity of Andor has led Lego to add a DLC to Lego Star Wars featuring the show’s many massacres and war crimes rendered with colourful bricks.
“We’re huge fans of Andor,” revealed Thomas Enright, lead developer of Lego Star Wars. “And we knew players would love to immerse themselves in the massacre of the peaceful Ghormans and hear the familiar breaking bricks sound when innocent civilians are murdered in the streets by an out of control fascist regime. Players will control Andor as he makes his way through the massacre, trying to keep his health up as he loses his faith in humanity. Also you can choose to play as Jar Jar Binks.”
Some fans have argued that including the DLC trivializes the events of the Emmy-nominated show.
“It’s genocide, at the end of the day,” said Owen Cook, standing outside of Lego headquarters. “It is disgraceful what’s happening and to not acknowledge what’s happening while making excuses and trying to silence those voices raised against it is offensive. But then to try and smooth it over with a Lego depiction cheapens the plight of the Gazan people. Wait, Star Wars? What are you talking about?”
Tony Gilroy, Oscar-nominated showrunner, welcomes the DLC.
“Whatever, man,” said Gilroy, a self-professed Star Wars newbie. “Once this is done, I’m out. I’ve made the best piece of Star Wars since The Last Jedi, and I’m ready to bounce. Dave Filoni can go back to smashing his action figures together while I go back to making Oscar winning movies. Peace.”
At press time, the Order 66 DLC is delayed as developers struggle to accurately depict the murder of children.
