Sorry if this is something that's been discussed here tons of times (I wouldn't really know), but I've always wondered; if LEGO's so afraid of original Space sets cutting into Star Wars sales, how come every single original Space theme since Mars Mission has put a large focus on, well, war? It feels kinda lame to me, honestly.
Did LEGO designers ever give an explanation? The most I can recall is for an interview on Space Police III, where they explained that the reason behind all of the aliens being evil was because that's what the kids/focus groups did with their toys.
