In the developer diary video, Head of Game Jonathan Smith shared that the team was pushed to do more because of the opportunity to tell thestory of all nineStar Warsfilms. In constant talks with both LEGO and Lucasfilm, the devs were given access to resources in order to accurately transfer elements onto the actual game. According to Neil Crofts, Head of Character Art, the team would take a look at both existing LEGO kits and the films in order to make creatures like the Bantha true to both IPs. Though some of the creatures have not existed yet as LEGO kits, the designers made sure they used real LEGO pieces to make them look as close to reality as possible.
