What are we going to do for 10 years ???

Come on, since we have seen almost everything for 2012 and we have learned that the Star Wars license will be renewed for 10 years, it is time to ask the fateful question: What can we expect in the 10 years coming in the LEGO Star Wars range?

First, a few benchmarks:

The Padawan Threat has been an undisputed television success, and one has to expect more animated short films of this type, including at least one in 2012.

The Clone Wars is scheduled to run for at least 100 episodes. Season 4 launched in September 2011 and features 22 episodes like the previous seasons (season 1 2008/2009, Season 2 2009/2010 et season 3 2010/2011). Let's say season 5 has 22 more and the planned total will be met and even surpassed in 2013.

The six films of the Star Wars saga will be shown in 3D at the cinema at the rate of one episode per year. It's not me who says it, it's Rick McCallum (in 2011): ... We're doing 3D versions of all six films, one a year, starting in February of next year. We start with [episode] one and go all the way through six, totally chronological. One a year, if they work. If they don't, then there will be just one [episode converted to 3D] ...

We will say that the first opus is not a flop and that the cycle will therefore continue until 2017. The ultimate peak will be reached with the 3D release of theEpisode IV: A New Hope in 2015. So far all is well. But the license is signed until around 2022.

TV series, Arlesian of the galaxy, will probably never see the light of day, unless Georges Lucas needs money, which could be the case around 2017.

What will LEGO be able to offer us during all these years? 

1. From The Clone Wars set shovel. LEGO will undoubtedly capitalize on the animated series for as long as possible, notably with the DVD / Blu-ray releases of seasons 4 and 5.

2. Remakes of remakes. Some collectors are a little jaded to see, even better, sets that have already been seen and reviewed. But we must think of the new generations of fans who are currently discovering the Star Wars universe thanks to Jar Jar or to Lux Bonteri and Cad Bane ...

3. Sets based on the game world The Old Republic, if the game works and lasts 2 years or even 3. Inevitably, we will be entitled to SWTOR II: A New Era or something like that. And why not SWTOR: The Animated Series, nothing is impossible. The universe of the game is already available in comics for the general public by specialists in the genre Dark Horse. The thing also exists online with webcomics Threat of Peace et Blood of the empire.

4. Something to satisfy AFOLs thirties with UCS like for example a C-3PO (at least a bust to go with R2-D2), Cloud City (because it's enough to wait), an AT-AT (it will eventually happen), a Slave I, etc .... And probably also some UCS to ruin the new AFOLs of the Clone Wars era with a nice UCS from Malevolence for example ...

What else ? I don't know, but I tell myself that LEGO and Georges Lucas will find something to make us spend our money ...

And you in 10 years, will you still want to spend your money on LEGO Star Wars?
