Overview
Unlocking the Executor capital ship in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga requires completing Episodes 4, 5, and 6, locating the vessel in Bespin or Tatooine space, defeating outer space defenses, and clearing stormtroopers inside to capture and purchase it for 5 million studs.
Once unlocked, the ship cannot be piloted manually but allows foot exploration, contains kyber brick puzzles, and follows the player across star systems or floats in planetary skies, though returning to space may trigger a second destructible Executor encounter.
Themes
Prerequisites and spawn locations for finding the Executor capital ship.
Two-phase combat process involving outer ship defenses and an interior hangar battle.
Stud purchase cost and currency menu display glitch.
Interior exploration, kyber brick puzzles, and gameplay limitations aboard the Executor.
Encountering and destroying a second Executor ship upon exiting into space.
Developments
Daniel checked Bespin space, found no ship, and traveled to Tatooine space where the Executor spawned near a comet.
Daniel completed the space battle by destroying TIE fighters and defensive turrets on the Executor.
Daniel boarded the hangar, cleared stormtrooper waves, defeated TT-2005 for a keycard, lowered the force field, and captured the general.
Daniel flew back out to space, engaged a newly spawned second Executor, destroyed its turrets and engines with proton missiles, and witnessed it blow up.
Uncertainties & gaps
Whether the in-game stud menu displaying negative 700 million while the top counter displays 3.5 billion is caused by a glitch or bug.
Whether the spawning of a second fightable Executor in the same location right after taking over the first is an intended game mechanic or a bug.
Whether the Executor capital ship offers any additional unobserved features or functions beyond what was explored.
