Okay guys, there are plenty of reasons to hate the new movies that have nothing to do with racism/sexism. They gave Finn an interesting backstory and just... didn't do anything with it. Rey could have been a cool character, but they didn't spend any time developing her; she just had whatever abilities the plot demanded. Stormtrooper helmets filtered out smoke, but not toxins... as in, literally nothing but smoke. That's not even how modern gas masks work. The entire plot of the first movie was a rehash of Ep IV, and the next two movies couldn't agree on where they were trying to go. Force healing now kills the user, because they're apparently drawing on their own life force and not the force at large. General Hux looks younger than me, and he's a General. I could go on and on, but I'm too tired tonight.

Star Wars has always been about world building, with the little picture taking a back seat to the big picture. It's why we put up with the terrible dialogue: the plot itself was good and served as a jumping-off point for hundreds of other stories. The sequel trilogy had a lot of individually good, memorable scenes with good dialogue and acting, but they failed to create a coherent whole between themselves or the rest of the series. Disney was right to relegate the old canon to apocrypha and recanonize the good bits- that needed to happen years ago- and a lot of the spinoff shows, games, and one-off movies are actually quite good. But the sequel trilogy itself is terrible and that's especially unfortunate because they're so central to the series. Any stories that spin off of it passively reference it just by existing, so you can't enjoy them because they're a reminder that the sequel trilogy exists. I would rather have had mediocre shows and good main movies than the other way around, but it looks like we're stuck with it.

So please, quit acting like hate for Rey is based on sexism. It's not. Disney cast a female lead purely for marketing purposes; it was never about respecting women. Creating female characters based on focus testing and then not giving them any personality isn't equality. There has been a sexist backlash to the character, that was bound to happen, but not all criticism is prejudice. Jyn Erso is a strong female lead too, and no one's complaining about her because she's a well-written character in a good movie.

All that aside, a Lego game is probably the only place I could tolerate the sequel trilogy, so I see no need to mod out the sequels from the game. But I think the OP was just being facetious anyways.

Will simply not be a fun character. Can pilot the Falcon better than Solo, duel more skilfully than Windu, wield the force better than Master Yoda, and all of that from the moment you select the character, point zero. Basically an official cheat code. Cheaters don't prosper.

Not any mod. Just one to remove Rey. Even before the game is installed, or even better, before it is released.

I don't think it's sexist. A little extreme? Yes. Sexist though? No. It just sounds like he hates Rey because she's a poorly written character...

No mods ever. Lego games have never really supported mods. I recommend just playing the first 6 films then scouring the internet for a 100% save file to save the complaining.
