Traveller's Tales Should Bring Back the LEGO Game Level Editor

gamerant.com:

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and the many Traveller's Tales LEGO games that came before it have found success due to their unique blend of concepts. On the one hand, they capture the essence of all kinds of famous IPs, ranging from Star Wars to Marvel and DC superheroes, albeit with a more lighthearted twist. On the other hand, they're full of creativity and building-themed mechanics that capture the spirit of real-life LEGO products. That combination of traits makes LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and its peers special; there's few other franchises that can consistently blend a variety of established IPs with a creative edge.

However, one wonders if Traveller's Tales' LEGO games are moving away from their roots right now. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is still clearly all about LEGO, considering how Traveller's Tales has used LEGO to design so many of its set pieces, but the loss of LEGO character creation means that a lot of player creativity is lost. The Traveller's Tales LEGO franchise needs to recapture its creative spirit by reviving mechanics like the level editor that a choice few past games included. The LEGO level editor perfectly captured the spirit of the franchise's source material and deserves a second chance.

A History of Star Wars Video Game LEGO Sets

To date, the only Traveller's Tales LEGO games to feature a level editor are LEGO Indiana Jones 2 and LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4. While these editors weren't part of the campaign and were tucked to the side of the main experience, they were surprisingly robust. Traveller's Tales gave players access to all kinds of props, terrain pieces, traps, and enemies modeled after real-life LEGO, allowing players to create some highly detailed levels.
