A big part of what made the lego series fun is that they characters couldn't speak. They had to convey the plot of an established franchise without dialogue, and it was interesting to see how they did that each time. The characters had more *character* when they couldn't talk, because without dialogue, they had to rely on the broadest strokes of what the characters were like, and that's fertile ground for parody. Lego Batman and Lego Han Solo were more than just Lego proxies of established characters, they had unique personalities. The game's fine but I miss when they didn't talk.
