LEGO Star Wars 2023 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!

Yeah minifigs are secondary for me. I wanna get me some swooshables

[Legofan2001]

The fact Mandr posted a video about the supposed leaks is definitely interesting. That mixed with the fact the original leaker of the gunship leaked the reveal date for the Indy sets is definitely making me think at a minimum that the gunship rumor is legit.

Who said MandR was right? He's just a youtuber man with a few sources and he isn't even going off his own sources but off of promo bricks, who have conveniently put out "leaks" on april fools day, and also Rex in a UCS venator is a dead giveaway.

I remind y’all about the Reddit post confirming the gunship, that’s why I beleive this is real, plus I really doubt promobricks would do a fake list that desirable 

[Alpha Draconis]

these leaks too good to be true. I don't care who says it/re-posts it right now. I'll need more convincing as this smells fishy and stinks to high heaven, especially on a day like this one

Real, not real, I still want the T6 the most and I hope it gets revealed next week

[Flawless Cowboy]

The gunship having Fox and Shock Troopers is nice but feels like it was -this- close to greatness. In the scene this seems loosely based on, you’d expect plain white clones. What am I supposed to fill the gunship with? Considering Lego is treating Shock Troopers as pilots.

So it seems like 2023 gonna be the best year in the history of Lego Star Wars. Yes, it seems even better than 2013

Sorry but the quality of today’s sets make 2013 sets look like 4+ junior’s

The ghost is one of the ways to easily show this is most likely fake (potential ahsoka spoilers, though they're more anti-spoilers than anything):

Quarrie and Jacen haven't been leaked at all IIRC, and while Jacen probably makes sense to have a cameo at least, I doubt if both characters had major enough roles to get minifigs we wouldn't have heard about it yet. 

 

Correct, and unless Ezra has become unrecognisable over the past ~10 years, there has been no indication of a character that would match the description of an “unknown male figure with dark skin color”.

I actually don’t like 2013’s wave that much personally, so if it’s real I like what we’re getting here more. UCS Venator > Ewok Village any day

Yeah the 2022 AT-TE blows the 2013 AT-TE out of the water actually, that’s a good one

1.) The Reddit post was from months ago, so Promobricks could simply have copied it. 
2.) The desirability of this list is part of what convinced me that it is fake; most waves are a mix of highly-desirable sets, moderately-desirable sets, decent-but-pass sets, random sets (Fighter Tank with 187th), bad/overpriced sets (Justifier), and WTF sets (buildable Chewbacca). This list is 100% fanservice; it is comprised of the most requested sets and Minifigs of the past few years. While some bits of it may end up being true (332nd in the Swamp Speeder, Gunship but with different Minifigs), the list as a whole is an absolute fake.

And to be honest, the 2013 gunship is a good set, but there’s a lot to improve—it seems a bit chunkier than it needs to be, it could be smoothed out quite a bit.

Gideon is not “unknown”, and he is not rumoured to appear in Ahsoka.

I mean we haven't seen

 

mando s3 finale yet, maybe he ends up disfigured or something? Maybe its saw and they couldn't tell?

also how do they know the figures? Is it some toy fair thing or do they see some pictures early? Like the sets and stuff?

Maybe, but he would probably still have a recognisable outfit if that were the case. Also Saw is dead, he died even before Jacen was born, and he is very recognisable, so there is no way that he could be the mystery figure (assuming that this list is legit, which it most certainly is NOT!).

They do not; the article even says that the appearance of the Gunship and possible presence of side-builds are unknown, but they can provide a detailed description of the Minifigs (down to the colour of The Senate’s robes)?

I forgor 💀.

But who is alive post OT with dark skin in canon and legends? Also gideon couldve changed outfits, maybe the mandos took away his armor?

But the shocks were pilots in Mando, so who knows. Lego might just be committed to a long term joke of never including a pilot ever again lol

I HIGHLY doubt lego was given access to that scene from Mando S3.

ExACTLY.

Ok so first of all, Saw is absurd. The man is dead long before Ahsoka, and I know lego's made some weird choices recently, but making a Ghost based on rebels and including 2 members of the ghost crew and 3 characters with minimal roles in the show, from different episodes, is a bridge too far.
