LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 13 Exciting Details We Just Learned

8. It Wants To Stick To LEGO's Central Principles Even More

Talking with Niels Jorgensen - and indeed any of the LEGO employees who spoke to us in official capacity during the trip - LEGO's manifesto for play and engagement is as important across all of their brands as the idea of inclusive systems are to LEGO as a whole.

As such, the games they put their name to need to have freedom to encourage creativity and the inquisitive spirit of the player as possible. That very much came across as Jorgensen's manifesto for this game, and it's very clear from the inclusion of the new multi-build mechanic that they've looked to capture that spirit even more.

Rather than only being able to build one thing from the famous dancing bricks, players can choose 2 or 3 (either in the correct sequence for puzzle play, or 1 option out of a number to distract an enemy). There's more freedom here than there's ever been.

And thanks to the level of immersive detail hidden in the background of levels, you can unlock extra levels of interaction by simply exploring. Easter Eggs come alive, background figures come into play and environmental details can be interacted with for gags, and the reward comes for those who spend time exploring.

If that's not in the spirit of LEGO, I don't know what is.
