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

I’m not even mad anymore. I’m just disappointed. All I wanted was an affordable imperial set. It was too much to ask.

I thought you went insane and became the joker because of no official movie superman tie in?

Though I suppose if they snub Dedra from the U-wing you might gain a Syril Karn profile picture?

I did; but insanity has layers, and I can go even  deeper down this road.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought Maxbaut was essentially confirmed that it's the Death Star II and that it has 40 minifigures? Or is that just speculation on his part?

Assuming he was confirming that though, I don't really think it'd be an issue for it to include scenes from both even if it's got an exterior based on the DS II. The first DS set was ostensibly based on the original DS seeing as how there isn't a half of it under construction, but they still threw in scenes from both. And just from a practical standpoint, that'd be a weird self-imposed limitation since the only especially iconic scenes on the DS II are the final battle and the arrival scene (which seems like it'd take up too much space for it to be included at anything remotely approaching accurate scale). I just can't see how they'd include 40 minifigures, which to me implies a robust interior, and then base it entirely on the DS II. 

I listenend to this part again and will try to translate it:

He hasn‘t seen the set yet

“It will be the set with the most minifigs ever“

“I don‘t remember, but above 40 or so“  

„some background characters“ [like imperial Officers and Palpatine‘s counselors]

What follows next is an assumption:

“I can imagine a mixture of Doll house and UCS set, with panels which can be opened“

Back to Minifigs: „I think Chewbacca is among them“

[benderisgreat]

New leaks just make it seem like 2025 is a great Star Wars year! New Slave I with Ucs Jango sounds great to me. And at that 70$ price it’s has to be better than that downscaled 2021 version. Although I’m a bit surprised why Lego decided to release both Ucs and system scale Slave I at the same time. 

[Llewop]

Don’t know if anyone else has seen on Reddit. But there’s some more details about this years sets.

u wing looks like we are getting Cassian, K2, Dedra and some stormtroopers. Does make me wonder how donwscaled this version would be but glad about the choice of figures.

Also getting at least 2 galactic marines in the UT-AT (i hope there is more!)

If Chewbacca is one then can only mean it’s going to be like the last one and show scenes from both films (hopefully R1 as well). 40 minimum figures makes sense if it’s covering more than just the one film. I don’t have the money to spend on a Death Star but it sounds more and more interesting 

[Tariq j]

I think the 40 minifigures could make sense. If you take the 25 from the 2016 version as a sort of starting point you can then add:

- Admiral Motti

- Hurst Romodi

- Admiral Yularen

- Shann Childsen

- Moff Jerjerrod

- Sim Aloo (Palpatine’s advisor)

- Janus Greejatus (Advisor)

- Sate Pestage (Advisor) 

- Krennic (assuming Rogue One stuff is included)

That would take you to 34 figures. Throw in 2 extra Stormtroopers and two extra Royal Guards would take you to 38 figures. And then if you added two extra Death Star technicians or 2 extra gunners you have 40 figures.

Not new per se, but there might be more to this rumour than we initially thought.

Childish Gambino is a very reliable leaker, and I don't think he'd just post an old rumour like this without checking how credible it is. (And also I'm coping a bit—I need Dedra.)

So it's overwhelmingly TCW-based, and I'm done with that right now. (I know the MTT is a CIS set, but i would've preferred it to be TPM-based.) And they're more or less the only system sets. Not to mention some of them sound a bit overpriced on current info - of course proper reveals may change that.

So you prefer a random original trilogy Landspeeder remake? I see cool, great things that haven’t been made in a while. Sounds like a good wave to me

Ya’ll dont forget when there was a severe lack of clone or even prequel sets from about 2014-2020 with the occasional one set, clouded by a majority of poor Hoth sets. We’re yall also done with original trilogy sets back then?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. People aren't saying we want all OT stuff again. In fact, people are even specifically saying that they wished the MTT was a PT one in some cases. People just want variety. And getting a bunch of buildable characters as pretty much the only non-TCW "playsets" is NOT variety, no matter how good the playsets could be. 

Additionally, some people just have more fondness for the main trilogies of movies (I'm even including ST in there, since some people prefer that to TCW (not arguing that point, just putting it out there)), and so when a wave is basically all non-trilogy playsets, it's a lot less exciting to those people (myself included). 

I am happy we are getting clone sets for people who want them, but we (I think I speak for a lot of people here) want a mix of clone sets with everything else. NOT the "clone drought" (as people want to put it) of the mid 2010s, but a mix of things from it all.

I was  Balance is the magic word here. Each of these sets is a great idea in its own right with new vehicles, long-requested minifigs, and desirable remakes. The problem is putting them all in the same wave. If those same sets were spread across multiple years, I imagine few people would complain. The way it is, it‘s just incredibly one-sided.

The last time we had a one-sided year like that was in 2008, and that made sense since TCW was brand-new. (I mean playset-wise. 2025 isn‘t one-sided at all if you factor in all the 18+ sets)

Alright so the key point then is we’re getting a great amount of desirable remakes, new vehicles and long-requested minifigs. Enjoy the wave then 👍

Not even saying that I’m a clone bro, I just look at things that look cool and worth getting. Thats what im likely seeing if the sets themselves actually look good

what I will say is I need a Wolffe figure

Oh I will, but I‘m still not happy with the constellation  And I still think the MTT has the weakest minifig selection of the bunch  So much wasted potential with that one!

Was that even a rumour to begin with? I thought it was mere speculation. Having two Stormies instead of Death Troopers would be kind of dumb since we already know the helmet is coming back

[Kaijumeister]

Balance is the key word here. Star Wars films / shows / media in general has such a wide breadth that you’ll have fans of everything. For the most part, Lego have been doing a good job catering to fans of all eras and new media over the past few years which is why the almost singular focus of this summer is giving whiplash to quite a few of us.

Anyway, basing the majority of the summer sets on TCW isn’t so much the problem, but it’s the seeming lack of new characters outside of new clone leaders and legions (and no, Aayla Secura and Ki-Adi Mundi aren’t exactly anything to write home about). A new Dooku, Magnaguard, Separatist Leaders etc. would’ve gone a long way in making these sets far more interesting than just more clones in more colours, and I say this as a big TCW fan.

More than anything I’m just sad we’re getting less and less cool large builds - and ships large enough to merit bigger sets get continuously downscaled whilst buildable figures continue clogging up more and more of these $100 slots. Shocks me that ships like the Stinger Mantis are off the table but obscure vehicles like the UT-AT still get made, but I’ll maintain some optimism for the summer wave.

Yes. I love the Original Trilogy, and I don't care about Clones.

But that's not the point—it's all about having a variety of different sets focusing on different eras.

Having the year fully focused on the Original Trilogy is just as bad as having one with only Clone Wars sets. I'm not mad we're getting sets with Clones—I'm mad we're getting nothing but those sets.

Exactly, and the MTT is the worst offender here. Finally a large CIS vehicle again since what, the Malevolence in 2012?! And the main stars are a Clone Commander and a Jedi that clearly should‘ve been included in the 327th set

Even if one of the BDs is actually a (Super) Tactical Droid, that‘s still rather underwhelming when we could‘ve had Wat Tambor or a new Dooku.

The thing is aside from assuming it'll be based on both DS's despite the exterior being based on one, it'll now include something like 10 imperial officers. Many of them are named, sure, but I still find it unlikely, even though I wouldn't have an issue with it.

Not to mention that the U-wing, to my knowledge, isn't IN the august wave? (I thought it was May?) And slave one, while not including P2 clones so not as bad, somewhat hilariously is pretty clone-related. I don't think it counts per se but it's still funny that the only august set not directly based on a clone vehicle or coming with clone minifigures is based on the clone's donor, includes Boba, and set on the home planet of the clones.

No, because at least one third of the playsets each year went to the new movie of each year rather than "poor hoth sets". There was still a variety of stuff on shelves. (Also, it's 2015-2019, be honest. 2014 had a TON of prequel sets, Nd 2020 had a not-insignificant number of prequel sets including the first 501st BP. It's exclusively the years in which new star wars movies released.)

If we assume R1 is included we could throw in some Death Troopers as well? The mould will be in use for the BP may as well get your moneys worth out of them. Might be a few tie pilots as well 

If they speculating that it’s going to be the most expensive and have the most minifgiures you would hope for some variety and new characters but honestly what do you fill it with? vast majority of imperial officers look the same white guys grey uniform only their ranks are different and only a few people know and fewer care about the ranks being right and even fewer would trust Lego to get them right. 

maybe this was the Death Star playset that was rumoured from last year?

Back to Minifigs: „I think Chewbacca is among them“

The big news is that Chewie is gonna be in a 40-fig set? Seriously?

The former quote does involve some risk on the part of Maxabuat’s source, but that latter claim feels so generic, a claim so easily deducible upon news of 40 figs. Even then, most people expected the niche Imperial officer and a few of the Emperor’s advisors, so it’s not much of a hefty claim.

 

A $70 Jango Slave 1? Why not a playscale Boba one to differentiate? Why not a UCS Boba Slave 1 (the more iconic of the two) and a playscale Jango Slave 1? Why two Slave 1’s in the same year? Why at $70 and not at $120 so one could fit both Fetts inside? Why another Kaminoan not include figs from Geonosis like Dooku and a Seppie bug or Wat Tambor? (To be fair, so long as it’s a new character, I can get behind another Kaminoan to keep the mold alive.)

I’ll gladly take another Slave 1; I just don’t feel this one (nor this entire wave) was thought through as much as it could’ve.

Well spoken.

My speculative mind now latches onto “singular focus of this [year]”. Could this be a new strategy going forward, even if it is a poor one? I wonder what I’ll be saying next year if that summer wave is all the OT sets I’m dreaming up this year.

Actually, I’d say that a bunch of Rebel and Impeial starfighters sounds far more interesting, particularly because there would have to be variety in the minifig selection. Then again, if it’s a bunch of Imperial army-builders, I might pass on most of them as well, but that’s just me.

Yeah, clone and prequel fans were really feeling the drought with the two clone BPs in 2015, Clone Turbo Tank in 2016, Republic Fighter Tank and Obi-Wan’s SF in 2017, Clone Trooper (& Jedi) BP and Anakin’s SF in 2018, and all the Kayshyyyk sets in Jan 2019. 

Was it ideal? I won’t argue so. However, TLG was still trying to provide variety even in the midst of the huge new media waves, and notably the Sequel era is bookended by multiple clone sets. They know what sells—clones—they just maybe didn’t connect with you personally.

If this wave does seem like your dream wave, I’m glad for you. If armies are your thing, which is a valid thing to love doing, then the UT-AT and 327th BP will be great for you. This wave just doesn’t hit well with me, nor do I argue it’s a good representation of TCW as a whole.

 

 

Started thinking about the figs in the Maul mech. If mechs are starting to come with two figs, maybe we could see a surprise second in the Maul mech? It’s allegedly TCW-based, which would imply potentially Obi-Wan as a “villain” (but let’s not go there again)—perhaps an earlier seasons reuse from the V-19 or a new latter seasons version? Maybe the Obi-Wan in the V-19 is from Season 3 to match with the Ahsoka and Anakin from January?

Some context regarding the Chewbacca info:

His cohost (who doesn’t have any leak information whatsoever) was assuming that we could get new alien moulds with so many figures to which Max replied that the Empire does not have that many Aliens within their ranks and the only Alien minifigure is Chewie.

Thanks for the clarification! Definitely interesting, but background officers and such was pretty much exactly what I was expecting when I heard 40 minifigures. I wonder if there'll be anything super surprising? The only other thing I can think of that sort of makes sense would be Lando and Nien Numb, but even that seems really unlikely since they were inside the Falcon the whole time.

They sound good on paper, but when executed, they wind up looking like the Arc-170. The Star Wars playset designers are a big step down from something like speed champions.

1. Because they haven’t done one since 2002 and they’ve done like five Boba’s in a row.

2. Because they already did in 2015, a set that retired relatively recently in 2018. 
3. Because playsets and UCS sets are marketed towards completely different demographics with little overlap. 

[JohnTPT17]

There's also a possibility that we get George Lucas thrown into the Death Star as well. Feige was with the Avengers Tower, so there's a non-zero chance it could happen. 

[CF Mitch]

Sooo... we're getting two Jango Fett's Slave Ones? 

The playscale version does sound kinda nice, I might pick that one up.

Glad to hear the V-19 Torrent comes with Obi-Wan, let's hope it's a (T)CW version  

All in all, this is shaping up to be a good LEGO Star Wars year, for me (yes, I love the Clone Wars-era and related media and merchandise  )
