Summary
After the release ofLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, LEGO essentially has free rein over where it wants to go next. While the huge scale ofThe Skywalker Sagawas a defining factor in that game’s success, it was also the source of major setbacks for the game, causing a fairly lengthy development period. So while LEGO may want to get another large-scale licensed game out there right away, it might be an idea to space those releases out a bit, and maybe deliver a range ofsmaller-scale LEGO video gamesin between.
If LEGO went with this smaller-scale approach, thenThe Mandalorianwould be an obvious choice for the nextLEGO Star Warstitle. While its last season may have been a tad disappointing,The Mandalorianis still one of the most popularStar Warsprojects out there right now, and its upcoming live-action movie would offer the perfect opportunity for a tie-in LEGO game. That being said, aLEGO Mandaloriangame already has plenty of material to draw inspiration from, and that includes content outside of the titular show.
A LEGO Mandalorian Game Would Have Plenty of Content to Draw From
A LEGO Mandalorian Game Has Three Seasons to Adapt
Debuting all the way back in November 2019,The Mandalorianhas had a total of three seasons so far, all of which center around the titular helmeted protagonist Din Djarin as he tried to make his way across the galaxy with his little Force-sensitive adopted child, Grogu. Along the way,Mando and Grogucome across many different threats, from Moff Gideon and the rest of his Imperial Remnant forces, to fellow bounty hunters, to pirates. But Mando and Grogu also meet their fair share of allies during their journey, including Greef Karga, Ahsoka Tano, and even Luke Skywalker himself.
With three pretty bulky seasons already under its belt, there’s more than content there for aLEGO Mandaloriangame to adapt. As just mentioned,The Mandalorianis home to a ton of side characters, most of which would be perfectly suited for a LEGO game.The Mandalorianalso has plenty of action set-pieces that could be adapted for a LEGO game, ranging from the standoff against Moff Gideon on Nevarro in Season 1 to the battle on Gideon’s Star Destroyer in Season 2, to thefinal battle against Gideon beneath the surface of Mandalore in Season 3.
A LEGO Mandalorian Game Has Far More Than Just the One Show to Pull From
ButaLEGO Mandaloriangamehas more than just the one show to draw inspiration from. While Din Djarin and Grogu’s adventures would obviously take up the bulk of aLEGO Mandaloriangame, it should also focus on a handful of the franchise’s other biggest Mandalorians, giving each one at least a handful of missions that act as a sort of recap for the character.
Boba Fett would be an obvious inclusion here, with a handful of missions depicting the character’s journey fromAttack of the Clones, toThe Clone Wars, toEmpire Strikes Back, all the way up toThe Book of Boba Fett. Bo-Katan Kryze is another Mandalorian worthy of a few missions, with hers mostly covering her story in the animatedClone Warsshow. Then, finally, it would be great to see Sabine Wren get her chance to shine in aLEGO Mandaloriangame, with a few missions based around hermost pivotalStar Wars Rebelsmoments, and her appearances inAhsoka.
