LEGO Star Wars 2025 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!

I also place my vote for more molded creatures. However, as @Virginia_Bricks alluded to, the prices would not be good. Look at the upcoming Jurassic set with 199 pieces for $50. 
 

Maybe they’re saving a molded Bantha for an upcoming $65 Luke’s Landspeeder. ANH’s 50th anniversary is in only two years.

I echo everyone’s desire to see a TIE Avenger next year (was lucky enough to get into the Andor panel and they screened the first episode of Season 2, loved it!). However, I strongly think Lego deliberately chose to make K2 rather than the Avenger because heaven forbid we don’t have more sculptures clogging up this theme. I would love to be proven wrong.

The lack of any Jedi sets still really irks me.

Lucas, I despise Lego right now.

Agreed. Even an AT ST, which is due a remake anyway, could include Jedi characters and sell well.

I would have hoped Lego would have used it as an opportunity to catch up on sets / material people have been asking for rather than commit to the clone bit entirely.

Soon enough, these days will end. There will be no rules going forward.

What the heck is actually up with Lego this year? It’s been miss (no Superman sets) after miss (not enough Andor sets) after miss (too many buildable characters and clones). I’d go as far to argue that this is the worst year for me lego-wise in the last decade.

Why is it that the Republic gets 3 red and white starfighters this year whilst the Empire and Rebellion get one Rebel starfighter shared between them as a normal set? In a year where the only content releasing is about those two factions no less.

Wasted potential.

And the sad thing is, unlike TCW, Disney + shows don’t seem to get revisited that much. So what’s terrifying to me is that this might be it for Andor. And after that, Lego may prioritise movie based sets.

Yet another thing i am bothered to believe Lego never made in the last 26 years. To me, it goes without saying that the Skywalker Saga mould (frankly like any other non existing minifigure from the game) would be pretty much perfect for the physical one. 

@Kaijumeister: Dankeschön. And yes i have noticed over the last couple of years.

I hope they do for the comedy value, though I do also want to get a few of them and not sure I'm going to bother with the GWP. 

It's also possible that they go on Pick a Brick like the Nazgul did. 

[BrickPrick]

On a slightly less exciting note... When can we expect concrete infos for the new Advent Calendar? My memory might serve me wrong for this one, but compared to last years it feels like we are getting late to the leaks party. 

This year's GWP is a must have for me. Yet given the army builder nature of this figure, i wouldn't mind another clone cadet being included in the upcoming calendar.

We usually have Advent Calendar information by now.

At this point I’m expecting us to get it alongside the January 2026 intel. (Possibly within the next few weeks-months as we got this year’s August information in December.)

Yeah, sounds about right. 

My prediction for the minifigure lineup: B1 Battle Droid, Clone Shock Trooper, Night Trooper, Sabine Wren/Ezra Bridger, Ahsoka and Anakin Holiday Edition plus maybe some brick built droids.

That would be one of the funniest possible moves by lego.

As far as the 25th anniversary was concerned, you got no gungans. No standard Jar Jar Binks. Boss Nass? Ha, no chance! But Darth Jar Jar? Sure thing. Sometimes i can not stand the fact that TPM anniversary is always overlapping with the Lego Star Wars one. Which is ironic, because they actually did plenty of TPM sets last year. It's not like Lego forgot about it. It's just more of the format issue affecting a year that could have been much better for TPM fans. Now you probably have to wait half a decade again just to get this single shot. 

Yup. There's been a consensus that lego forgets or ignores anniversaries (which, anniversaries really weren't much of a thing for the brand until 2019 anyway), but it's not so much that they ignore them, it's that anniversary products for movies are more aimed at the adults who are nostalgic for the anniversary and less at kids, and lego makes so many 18+ sets anyway, that most of the sets end up being 18+ gimmicks. ROTS is the first year where the anniversary movie is actually getting a fair number of system sets that at least mostly tie in (plo fighter, ARC, 327th pack, possibly the Galactic Marines set who knows at this point)

Yep, i think it's important to understand that these companies are not your friends and vice versa. It's not like they will celebrate these anniversaries as if they were your birthday or something. Heck, some corporations won't even acknowledge some anniversaries and yeah... were not even a thing for Lego Star Wars until 2019.

It's like you said products intended to be infused with nostalgic nature in mind, aimed at adults rather than kids. And since they are doing a plethora of 18+ sets anyways, they don't have to change that much in terms of the overall production pipeline. Just switch up some themes here and there for once.

On another note, you could see the 75333 Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter as the one and only AoTC 20th anniversary set (excluding the Accessory Pack) released back in 2022. But would it have seen the light of day without the Obi-Wan show releasing shortly before? I dare to doubt that. Was more likely a convenient circumstance for Lego and they took advantage of that... which is fine.

Personally would not mind it in the slightest if there were the occasional prequel sets (not just TCW extravaganza) in between those anniversaries. But since that's ever so rarely the case anymore, you basically rely on these single years. Which is unfortunate, as i would still like to live in a Lego world where sets like the 75169 Duel on Naboo could happen at any time. In my eyes, the duel sets have much untapped potential anyways. Other than the obvious 18+ overload, i do not know why Lego suddenly stopped making those sets. 

Hopefully i did make some sense out of this. At least in my mind (translated to my mother language) it does.

I was looking at that set the other day alongside the Slave I, and it didn't occur to me until you mentioned it just how long that set's been around. Assuming it sticks around to the end of this year that's a three-and-a-half-year shelf life, which is pretty crazy for a system set. I'm glad it stayed long enough to be sold alongside the Slave I though.

Oh, and welcome!

Honestly I think it's kinda weird that they did Dewback before Bantha ( multiple different times too).

My guess is that it's probably down to what kids will have more fun with. The Dewbacks Lego have done lend themselves to play a little better since they stormtroopers are riding them. Banthas are more iconic (I think) but I don't know that they'd ever include one in anything other than a MBS. The Cantina kinda feels like it was our one real opportunity for that though, so it does make me wonder why they didn't do it. Maybe it's just an issue with a potential mold being really complicated to produce since it'd have so much texturing? I don't know much about how molds work though so that might not be an issue at all.

[CloneCommando99]

Absolute Cinema! Yet so annoying on the Lego end of things. (My apologies for beating a dead bantha)

In other Andor news: it’s currently rated at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes! I believe that’s the highest a SW project has ever recieved.

 

We’re definitely in for a treat. With or without enough Lego sets to do it justice. U-Wing is a day one purchase for me in order to try and get Lego to make more sets.

Doubtful. If their intention is to keep an existing Maul set on shelves as a tie-in, they'd likely pick the upcoming Maul mech, which is not only cheaper and includes a more appropriate version of Maul, it's also likely still available by then anyway

I mean we did get the 30th star wars anniversary in 2007 with the gold c3po, and the 10th LSW anniversary in 2009 with Chrome Vader. We also got the 30th anniversary of ESB in 2010. 

[Agent Kallus]

Talking about moulded creatures, I hope we get the Hutt in the Mando and Grogu sets. I mean if they're willing to put him in the trailer then there's no reason to save him for spoiler sets.

Oh yeah. "Release desirable fig that you have to spend a fair chunk of change to get, then put them in an AC a few months later" is a lego classic. Unfortunately the AC's cost just keeps rising to the point it's no longer quite what it once was, but dropping a GWP exclusive into it would definitely add some value.

Agreed-

on the topic of the AOTC anniversary, I still think that the AT-TE was planned as an AOTC anniversary set and changed to give the overexcited fans Phase 2 cody. 

The duels were definitely an untapped goldmine. There were so many good choices they never ended up doing.

I know they had some, but I maintain that three in 20 years isn't much of a thing as opposed to now, where there's been an anniversary almost every year since 2019.

Yeah it's kind of silly we've had an anniversary the past 3 years in row. Next year is also the 10th for R1 and then 50th for Star Wars in 2027, 20th for TCW in 2028, 30th LSW and TPM in 2029, this could go on and on... Granted some of these might not come to fruition.

Yup. If we're doing anniversaries in 5 year increments, the following years are covered:

2026: RO 10 years

2027: TLJ 10 years, AOTC 25 years, ANH 50 YEARS!

2028: ROTJ 45 years, Solo 10 years, TCW 20 years, "The Clone Wars era" 25 years

2029: TROS 10 years, TPM 30 years, LSW 30 years, Mando 10 years

2030: ROTS 25 YEARS, TFA 15 years, ESB 50 YEARS!

And then it repeats again, and again, and again. There is no future there.  With new anniversaries in the 6/1 years for TMAG, 7/2 years for Starfighter, etc.

Point being, literally every year now has at least one movie's _5th or _0th anniversary. And some years are getting pretty crowded. I think lego's figured out that anniversaries are a neat marketing gimmick, but when every year is someo movie's anniversary, it's not as special. With how many projects there are at this point, I think we're gonna reach the point where most projects only get sets during their anniversary years.

The plus side is that after Christmas the price on ACs drops like a lead balloon. Even on S@H (do people still call it that?) they go for 20-30% off.

I know right. This and no Superman sets are just inexcusable.

I just got word from my wife’s boyfriend, John Lego. The 2030 AC will be $100 and include Cloud City Boba Fett.

 

I hope that either Maul or Thrawn and a Stormtrooper are the villains included in this year’s AC.

I'd like to see K2 ( or better yet in the magazine) as there's lots of droids like him so it'd be nice to have a few. My old K2 from the Krennic's shuttle set has a floppy middle joint and doesn't always stand up, so hopefully the new one is somehow more robust ( still think they should've switched to click hinges for droid legs).
