This brings up an interesting point in LEGO canon. If we assume that all LEGO franchises take place in the same universe, we'd have to assume that LEGO Angry Birds[0] took place somewhere in the canon timeline of the LEGO universe. Even more problematic would be trying to put BIONICLE[1] somewhere in the timeline, while somehow also being able to fit in LEGO Star Wars[2]. Perhaps the toughest one to piece together would be LEGO Mars Mission[3] and LEGO Life on Mars[4]. While Life on Mars depicts a peaceful relationship between humans and martians, Mars Mission centers on a conflict around powerful energy crystals, which just doesn't match up (especially considering the Martians look completely different in these series).

From the Mars Mission page it seems the non-peaceful aliens aren't Martian natives: > The Aliens have originated from an unknown place in the cosmos, and are also searching for the crystals. In actuality, they are not from Mars And the wiki suggests it's a soft sequel to the Life On Mars setting, making their place in LEGO canon easier to fit together.

In this high altitude video sequence of 'Lego Earth' I see no evidence of familiar coastal outlines. Case closed? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvlXACoVVIo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvlXACoVVIo

If there's one thing we learn from E. R. Burroughs' careful multi-volume monograph on Mars, it's that the planet has room for numerous species, each involved in quite different political struggles.
