LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga completely reinvents the LEGO game formula and adds new resources you can collect. Kyber Bricks are basically skill points — a special currency you can use to unlock powerful new upgrades. You’ll find upgrades in the holo menu. For a price, you can permanently upgrade different types of characters. Upgrades come in different types; you can get core upgrades that enhance every minifigure, or you can get specific upgrades for Jedi, Sith, heroes, villains, and everything else.
There are many, many upgrades you can get with your Kyber crystals, and some of them are better than others. They’re all worth getting, but you really don’t need any upgrades that enhance your combat abilities. You can’t really lose in LEGO Star Wars, but you can earn studs faster. Studs are your best possible resource, and collectibles are the toughest items to find in the game. These are the upgrades we think you need to get ASAP.

Upgrades You Should Unlock First
Upgrades are permanent enhancements that can be purchased at any time in the “Upgrades” tab in the holo menu. Upgrades are purchased with Kyber Bricks and Studs.
Core Upgrades: Attract Studs – Collect Studs from further away.
- Just extremely useful. You’re collecting them all the time anyway, why not make it easier? You need to purchase one of each of the first tier core upgrades (only 1) to unlock the second tier and third tier.
Core Upgrades: Collector Detector – Highlight important collectibles in the current area with an on-screen marker.
- Required if you’re going for 100% completion. Useful and you can turn off the prompts if you’re sick of looking at them. Save this for Freeplay!
Scoundrel Upgrades: Business Opportunist – Receive a Stud discount when purchasing Rumors and Hints in the Holoprojector.
- You’ll be buying Rumors and Hints all the time!
Bounty Hunter Upgrades: Hidden Bounties – Collect a bounty of Studs from defeated enemies.
- A cheap upgrade that exponentially increases how many studs you earn per level. Very, very useful to get early. Makes earning True Jedi much easier before you can afford the Studs 2x cheat.
