10 Scenes That Must Be In LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens
8. Poe's Failed Escape From The First Order On Jakku
A crucial moment in The Force Awakens, Poe's first meeting with Kylo Ren is fairly brief, but it has all the elements needed for a fun LEGO incarnation: blasters; a goal (reaching the X-Wing, giving BB-8 the Resistance's data); Stormtroopers; and a boss (Ren). Poe is a rip-roaring, heroic kind of guy, and TT Games could equip him with some handy firepower and melee combat skills, making ploughing through Stormtroopers all the more fun. Moments such as Poe using his X-Wing's artillery to take down enemies and rushing at Ren head-on have the potential to become bigger and more important, with a few platforming sections thrown in, too. Switching between Poe and BB-8 to solve puzzles and navigate terrain would reflect their friendship and camaraderie. Given the short length of this scene, it will likely be fleshed-out in the game. It may even take the form of a tutorial level, introducing players to the controls and environments.
