Star Wars
Again, not so much of a “should” as it is a “will”. Star Wars and Lego are practically joined at the hip at this point, you couldn’t separate them even with a lightsaber. Thanks to the excellent Star Wars Rebels cartoon and upcoming Force Awakens movie, people are more primed to visit that galaxy far, far away again. Throw in the upcoming return of the awesome Battlefront game franchise, and you’ve got something that can sell itself just by name alone and turn profits five times over. And in fact, usually does.
Lego and Lucasarts could use this as a chance to take some clever jabs at the Expanded Universe. Since it’s technically not in canon anymore and overridden by the films, some laughs could be had at this from characters both from the Star Wars universe and from other universes. There’s still The Old Republic, which hasn’t been touched by anyone that wasn’t connected to Bioware. You can bet that Force Awakens characters will be included at some point, and it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to say that characters from Rebels will make appearances as well. That brand synergy, after all.
