Star Wars is not the only major pop culture icon that Minecraft has crossed over with in 2020. The Sims 4 released Star Wars: Journey to Batuu, a DLC pack based on the world of Disney's Star Wars land in its Anaheim theme park, while Squadrons has landed series iconography in games like Fortnite (which historically has a lot of crossover with other Disney-owned properties like Marvel Comics). Thanks to The Mandalorian as well as the launch of EA's Star Wars: Squadrons earlier this year, the galaxy far, far away has been incorporated into a number of different video games beyond Minecraft.

Sometimes the developers release new content that can enhance these projects, such as a brand-new DLC set based on the Star Wars universe. For example, one player recently recreated Stranger Things' Starcourt Mall in Minecraft. Mojang Studios' Minecraft is a creative sandbox that has facilitated many impressive building projects in the past, some of which reference other facets of popular culture.
