The base game NSP was dumped within days of its original release in April 2022. This version runs on almost any modded Switch running Atmosphere CFW with Hekate and Sigpatches. However, the base game is notoriously buggy, with frame rate drops in hub worlds and loading stutters.

Before diving into the technical side, let’s look at the game itself. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the biggest LEGO game ever made. It allows players to play through all nine Skywalker saga films in any order they choose.

Key Features:

As of mid-2026, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga remains one of the most impressive ports on the Switch. It contains all nine saga films, over 300 playable characters, and dozens of planets to explore.

Even with a patched NSP, users report specific bugs. Here is how to fix them:

Issue 1: "Unable to start software. Return to HOME Menu."

Issue 2: Game crashes when starting Episode 4 (A New Hope)

Issue 3: DLC characters (The Mandalorian, Bad Batch) not showing up.

Note: This guide is for educational purposes for users who own the game legally and wish to play it via homebrew methods.
