>>7238442Well, given the harsh reaction to Star Wars 8, if we are willing to make brash assumptions and presume that Star Wars 9 will be the least well received of the Star Wars sequels, Lego may similarly anticipate or react to such harm to the Star Wars brand by releasing a concurrent sci-fi themed series. Lego may not have the foresight to lower their expectations for market demand for a Star Wars 9 lineup at the release of Star Wars 9, but I imagine if it is unsuccessful that they will be quick to set up and release a new original sci-fi theme.
We can only hope, I suppose. I would love a sci-fi theme with an old-school mid-twentieth centuries aesthetic. Creative alien designs, old helmets, archaic rockets, etc. Something like pic related but with less sexual undertones obviously. Alternatively, a near-future sci-fi theme focusing on Moon or Mars colonies would be appreciated, but I don't think that it would appeal to younger audiences.
