They don’t really make tie-ins any more, I think the last one was Lego Force Awakens. It’s probably because the crunch time is too high and the margins are too low. Most other big franchises stopped trying too.

I think that’s because other franchises peak and decline so rapidly around the release of their respective movies, but I believe an Original Trilogy based game would still sell now. There’s a reason Lego: Skywalker Saga is so highly anticipated. Sure, some of it’s because of the well known gameplay and quality of previous titles, but I think people are also ready to relive those movies again.

Lots of scenes from the movies have been done in previous games, but as technology improves, people will want to see them again with improvements, not unlike the movies themselves releasing on a newer format.

Just my $0.02 on it all. The video game segment of Star Wars is the only part of the franchise I’ve been recently disappointed in. I just don’t care for Battlefront style play, but that is what’s most popular with everyone else I suppose.
