TT Games went above and beyond with LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, culminating a pattern of LEGO games getting gradually more complex. LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga brought together six beloved movies, LEGO Batman 2 introduced a large-scale open world to the series, and LEGO Lord of the Rings let players walk all the way from the Shire to Mordor. However, LEGO games hit their peak with LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
Released just over a year ago, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a truly massive game, by far TT Games' most ambitious project to-date. With nine movies' worth of content, over 20 open-world planets to explore, over 300 characters to unlock, and over 1,000 collectibles to find, The Skywalker Saga is every completionist's dream. It's going to be a difficult job for TT Games to outdo itself, but one sci-fi franchise has even more content to draw from: Star Trek.
A LEGO Star Trek Game Would Have Decades of Content to Adapt
While LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga mainly revolves around the titular set of nine movies, it pulls from all corners of the Star Wars canon universe, including characters from animated shows like The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels as well as those from the more recent Disney+ shows like The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett. There was almost five decades' worth of content for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga to pull from, and it resulted in one of the biggest games ever made. But there'd be even more to draw from if TT Games adapted Star Trek.
Debuting in 1966, Star Trek is 11 years older than the Star Wars franchise, and it's just as big - if not slightly bigger. If TT Games wanted to set its eyes on a more ambitious project than The Skywalker Saga, it should turn its attention to Star Trek given it's arguably the only other sci-fi franchise that has the same breadth of content stretched across nearly seven decades of TV, movies, books, comics, and video games.
Even just one series of Star Trek's could fill out an entire LEGO game. For instance, Star Trek: The Original Series could have its own full-length LEGO adventure game. There are over three seasons of stories to adapt into missions, a handful of different spaceships to unlock, plenty of characters to fill out a medium-sized LEGO game roster, and more than enough planets to inspire open-world hubs.
A truly ambitious Star Trek game, one that's extremely unlikely to get made in the near future, would attempt to adapt every Star Trek series. Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds are all multi-season TV shows with hundreds of episodes between them, each with their own stories, planets, ships, characters, and villains. There's the long list of Star Trek movies as well, including J.J. Abrams' Kelvin timeline. If TT Games ever wants to try and top its work on LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, then a Star Trek game is definitely the best way to go.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
