As per usual with skin pack upgrades, are able to customize Mncecraft avatars as characters from the original 3 films (Episode IV: A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strokes Back, and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi).

This is obviously exciting for players (like my daughter, for example) who are eager to build their own Star Wars Minecraft universe themselves, or even download mods / maps that exist to download for free within the Minecraft community. Star Wars joins a group of other licensed “upgrades” for Minecraft which previously released skin packs for other Disney and Marvel owned characters, such as Spiderman, The Avengers, and Skyrim.

Below is a list of all the available character skins, 55 to be exact (which is more than usual for a standard skin pack), currently available to download for $2.99. As with other skin packs, expect this to drop to $.99 as the holiday season nears.
