You fly the Arwing seamlessly between a variety of different planets, shooting everything that moves while throwing shade at Slippy. What more could you possibly want?<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the version you purchase, you might even nab yourself a lovely physical version of the Arwing itself. This is a toys-to-life experience, in which you can attach the ship physically to your controller, and can change the pilot or weapons at any point by slotting them in place \u2013 <em>physically<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you don&#8217;t like toys, you can bypass all of that entirely by going purely digital. This works like a typical game, with you changing the variety of weapons, ships, pilots, and other stuff within in-game menus rather than on an actual toy.<\/p>\n<p>So far, so good. But Starlink does have a pretty sizeable problem, and that&#8217;s making sense of the wide variety of different purchase options. There&#8217;s both a digital <em>and<\/em> physical starter pack, then a separate digital deluxe edition. Not too complicated, right? Well, it actually is, as each of those different versions come with different ships, weapons, and pilots.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, you might have no idea where to start, and that&#8217;s fair enough \u2013 it <em>is<\/em> a bit of a shambles. Fortunately, we&#8217;re here though to help you make sense of the variety of different purchase options.
