Although the Star Wars may be fine in and of themselves (I personally have no
use for them), it's the idea behind there being a Star Wars tie-in that's
disturbing. If TLG doesn't have enough imagination to come up with its own
Space sets anymore, how can it expect anyone else to have any imagination?
Star Wars is a very bad precedent.

Do you really think a Lego employee is going to state his honest opinion? He
tows the party line so he can keep his job.
