It’s the mash-up we didn’t know we wanted: The Sims 4 meets Star Wars in the Journey to Batuu Game Pack expansion, launching Sept. 8 for PC and Mac (Steam, Origin), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Batuu is a unique neighborhood set in the Star Wars universe and filled with familiar alien species like the Twi’leks, imperial stormtroopers, and droids.

With both the First Order and the Resistance present on the planet, your Sim will have to make a choice. They’ll complete missions for their chosen faction, gain new contacts, and witness unique encounters, such as Rey practicing her lightsaber.

By completing missions you’ll earn rewards and reputation points as you climb the ranks.

Sims will be able to craft their own lightsabers and spar with other Sims to build their Fitness skill. You can also purchase your own personal droid, and use their helpful scanners on missions. Droids can even return to normal Sims neighborhoods and form relationships with other Sims (platonic, I assume…).

The Sims 4 Star Wars: Journey to Batuu Game Pack will arrive on September 8.
