TT Games went above and beyond withLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, culminating a pattern of LEGO games getting gradually more complex.LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Sagabrought together six beloved movies,LEGO Batman 2introduced a large-scale open world to the series, andLEGO Lord of the Ringslet players walk all the way from the Shire to Mordor. However, LEGO games hit their peak withLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
Released just over a year ago,LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagais 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 Sagais 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
WhileLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagamainly revolves around the titular set of nine movies, it pulls from all corners of theStar Warscanon universe, including characters from animated shows likeThe Clone WarsandStar Wars Rebelsas well as those from the more recentDisney+ shows likeThe MandalorianandBook of Boba Fett. There was almost five decades' worth of content forLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagato 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 adaptedStar Trek.
Debuting in 1966,Star Trekis 11 years older than theStar Warsfranchise, and it’s just as big - if not slightly bigger. If TT Games wanted to set its eyes on a more ambitious project thanTheSkywalker Saga, it should turn its attention toStar Trekgiven 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 ofStar Trek’s could fill out an entire LEGO game. For instance,Star Trek: The Original Seriescould 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 ambitiousStar Trekgame, one that’s extremely unlikely to get made in the near future, would attempt to adapt everyStar Trekseries.Star Trek: The Next Generation,Deep Space Nine,Voyager,Enterprise,Discovery, andStar Trek: Strange New Worldsare 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 ofStar Trekmovies as well, including J.J. Abrams' Kelvin timeline. If TT Games ever wants to try and top its work onLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, then aStar Trekgame is definitely the best way to go.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagais available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
