Like many unlockable ships and characters in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, players will need to unlock the collectible first and purchase it with Lego studs.

Players can travel to any free-play space sector once a whopping 5 million studs have been spent on Death Star. In the holoprojector, they can summon the Death Star to simply pilot or take into space combat.
