Yes, my opinion is, LEGO isn't fully LEGO unless it's all original from the
LEGO company with no outside interference.

BUT, maybe they think they will make more money if they use some outside
licensing in their products, supposedly making them more attractive. However,
I think they can make enough money on their own without incorporating other
people's products.

I couldn't agree more wholeheartedly! =:)

True. SW may be cool, but I would rather have traditional space themes and no
SW than SW and no traditional space themes.(but of course this isn't all TLG's
fault, but was in the agreemement between TLG and SW) I do have a very bad
feeling that Harry Potter will take the place of Castle. I wonder if it will
be a one-time thing like, for example, Outback, or a several-year continuous
theme like SW.

Of course, they probably wouldn't do that, because of the money required to
support both. But we can still hope and wish... :^o
