Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains Costumes Guide: All Hero and Villain Skins

Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains is not exactly shy about throwing Star Wars stuff at the board.

You get heroes. You get villains. You get team abilities. You get dice battles. You get the usual Monopoly betrayal, only now it comes dressed as Darth Vader, Leia, Maul, Ahsoka, and half the galaxy arguing over property values.

The game also includes a full set of unlockable character costumes, giving every playable hero and villain at least one alternate look. Some characters get two costumes total, while a few get three.

Costumes do not appear to change abilities, so don’t expect Luke’s X-wing pilot outfit to suddenly make him better at bankrupting your friends. For actual gameplay strategy, team picks, and ability combos, check our full Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains abilities guide.

This guide is for the fun part: all the outfits.

How Costumes Work in Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains

Each character has one default costume unlocked from the start. The rest are unlocked through in-game challenges and customization rewards.

That is a decent setup, honestly. A game like this needs something to chase beyond winning matches and quietly judging everyone’s trade offers.

Ubisoft’s official support page also notes that character customizations can be changed through the player profile menu, with more customization items unlocked through Ubisoft Connect Rewards and in-game progression.

So yes, if you want Darth Vader in his alternate suit or Luke in his Jedi Knight look, you’ll need to actually play the game.

Terrible news for people who only came here for menus.

All Hero Costumes in Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains

The hero side has a pretty good spread across the saga.

Luke gets the obvious trio: farmboy, Jedi Knight, and X-wing pilot. Rey gets her scavenger look, Ahch-To outfit, and Jedi appearance. Obi-Wan getting both Padawan and Force Spirit costumes is a nice touch, because apparently even board game Monopoly cannot escape the man’s need to appear dramatically after death.

Han’s Endor cloak is probably the best “I’m here to win but also look smug doing it” option.

All Villain Costumes in Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains

The villain costumes are doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Vader getting a Lord Vader / Anakin Skywalker option is probably the biggest one here, especially for anyone who wants the pre-suit tragedy version rather than the walking breathing problem version. Kylo Ren also gets three looks, because apparently the man’s entire personality still requires wardrobe variations.

Palpatine’s Exegol costume is exactly the kind of creepy late-game nonsense that makes sense for a Monopoly villain. Boba Fett getting his Daimyo look is also useful if you want to run the board with slightly more crime-lord authority.

Do Costumes Change Gameplay?

At the moment, costumes seem to be cosmetic.

The important gameplay differences come from character abilities, not outfits. That means picking a costume is mostly about style, while picking a character is where the actual strategy starts.

That distinction matters in Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains, because each hero and villain has a unique ability that can affect movement, credits, combat, upgrades, board control, or jail. If you are building a team properly, the outfit is the flavor. The ability is the knife.

Best Costumes to Unlock First

This is obviously subjective, but a few stand out.

Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Knight look feels like the obvious upgrade from farmboy Luke. It is cleaner, more iconic, and makes him look slightly less like he wandered onto the board looking for power converters.

Darth Vader’s Lord Vader / Anakin Skywalker costume is probably the most interesting villain skin, mostly because it changes the whole feel of the character.

Ahsoka’s Hooded Siege of Mandalore look is another strong one. It fits the character, it looks dramatic, and it has the correct amount of “I’m about to make this everyone’s problem.”

Palpatine’s Exegol outfit also deserves a mention, because if you are going to financially ruin people in Monopoly, you may as well look like a corpse with a retirement plan.
