[…] we had 6 playsets this 2025 1HY (Interceptor, ARC, Night Trooper BP, U-wing, Maulmech, microfighter.

Unless something changed, TLG views June releases as 2HY already. August waves only became a thing pretty recently!

That said, it can’t be entirely ruled out that some of these are for June regardless since we sometimes get lists for the entire year like with this year’s JW sets, but since they’re specifically referred to as 1HY sets, they should release in January, March, and May

Things like this could fill exactly the same purpose as the mechs while actually being something "real". 

I can't understand why lego isn't flooding the market with star wars sets like that in the vein of the $10 marvel ones. I can't imagine lego pays significantly more for the SW license than the marvel one, and there are so many options for little $10 sets with two figs! In the future sets thread awhile back I literally listed an option for almost every onscreen project- between small vehicles, duels, and bits of terrain (Ach-to or Dagobah training, that sort of thing), they could put out 3 per wave for years and still not run into remakes or obscure ones.

Ok, so it might be double the number of playsets, which is good. Still concerning the Mando Movie doesn't seem to be getting a wave, but double the number of system sets is a big win either way.

Is there a particular reason you assume the Mando sets to be the ones with the lower set numbers? I don‘t recall the leakers commenting on that. Previous movie tie-in waves followed the regular numbering patterns, after all

Had the movie been delayed, this would make perfect sense, but it hasn‘t. May 2026 was always the intended release date, at least publicly.

Yes. It is weird.

My personal theory is that after SW a celebration 2023, Lego allocated a few set numbers for the newly announced Rey movie which was supposed to release this year, and then awaited the for the needed concept art and character, vehicle and location details to be confirmed. These obviously never happened and the Rey movie is now evidently in development limbo whether Lucasfilm wants to admit or not. 

Early last year the Mando movie got a surprise announcement. Lego, having nada for a good number of last year’s supposed set numbers now had a pretty much guaranteed project to put those numbers to use. So they reallocated the Rey movie set numbers to the Mando movie’s.

But that’s just a theory… a commando theory.

We can’t rule out that there’s nothing in June. Many a SW project recently has received its first sets post initial release: JFO (BD-1), TBoBF, Kenobi, TBB…

Granted none of those were movies. But I guess there’s a quasi-precedent.

[Llewop]

When I looked on Reddit the post said Q1 2026. So is that not Jan-March? I know in the past they used to do 1HY and 2HY but Lego hasn’t really done the Jan wave and June wave for years they release whenever and wherever they want now.

I thought somebody said the ones with prices attached ($70 set and $100 set) were the Mando Movie ones, but maybe it was someone here speculating and not a leaker saying it.

It's not impossible, but I'd be surprised if they split the wave in half like that. Especially since, like you said, it's a movie and not a show.

2025 release of Untitled New Jedi Order "Rey" film?! I think I never saw any release dates for it, only that they will make it. https://www.starwars.com/news/swce-2023-new-star-wars-films I am curious, where have you seen a 2025 release date for this one?

The Mandalorian and Grogu, that one does have a release date. No set number for those yet, right? And it is sort of season 4, but in movie format, right? But LEGO should have, whatever Disney has shown them, to produce, atleast some sets.

Untitled New Republic film, is that the one that will come after M&G + Ahsoka season 2?

Rey movie will be shelved, and I'm glad, Star Wars has been damaged enough, imagine another sequel trilogy lol

I feel like there could be a big change up at Lucasfilm (Who am I kidding, nothing will change there) the parks are going to bring back Luke and focus on the OT characters (WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN WHAT THEY DONE IN THE BEGINNING) The wrath of KK is coming to and end (hopefully)

Also I don't know if anyone heard this but in Andor season 2 there is supposed to be a Grape scene or a nod to one, if true, I am surprised Lego is making sets from it, what is Star Wars doing, via on Youtube DenOfNerds

I hope it's not true

The topic's alluded to in Dune as well, and that got a set. Eternals straight up had a sex scene (obviously not the same, but assumably more explicit than anything Andor would actually show, especially at a TV-14 rating) and it got sets. Regardless, I can't imagine lego would have been informed in advance about something like that. At the end of the day we've known for years that the difference between making a set or not is if the project is PG-13 vs R, TV-14 vs TV-MA .

As for the wider thing this conversation's been had a billion times here- I personally don't think the Rey movie releases, or at least that whatever Rey movie ends up happening will have been ship-of-theseused to the point the only remaining part is Daisy Ridley's Rey, but whether or not that happens we aren't getting sets anytime soon, so it's not really relevant.

I can't remember anywhere specific but I do think a 2025 release date was at least speculated at some point. Regardless, with all the development troubles we won't be seeing sets anytime soon.

I thought we'd had two set numbers and prices, one $70 and one $100, but I may have been wrong on that so take it with a grain of salt. As for the rest, IIRC it's adapted from early plans for a fourth season, yes. And lego definitely has plenty of material to go off of given that us fans have seen footage and trades have reported a number of characters and actors- lego assumably has more information and concept art than we do.

Yes. This is the only other SW film I'm personally confident in, since the lack of development news can easily be attributed to Filoni's efforts being focused on Ahsoka S2.

Good.

I have enjoyed the SW series that has been shown on Disney+, even Acolyte. From that one, it seems that we will not get a single set?

This was the release slate Disney announced in 2023. A couple of months before SW celebration.

I do admit that I couldn’t find an official confirmation for the NJO’s release date. I got these 2 mixed up. My apologies.
But as @Mandalorianknight said, it was heavily but reasonably speculated that the NJO movie would take the 2025 slot since it was the only film announced at celebration which had some form of casting (Daisy Ridley coming on stage) and therefore we all assumed that it was rather far in development. It wasn’t.

[BrickBob Studpants]

Not sure where the scepticism is coming from, as there absolutely will be a full wave for M&G  It‘s the first movie in 6 years and they definitely want to capitalise on that! I can easily picture a wave of sets based on the teaser alone.

That said, I hope for some new vehicles and locations too. All the previous initial movie waves featured both familiar and new stuff!

I think 2025 was supposed to be a films release date but not sure which one because why else have Disney not got any new SW series coming out. Andor is only coming out now because of the writers strike. Skelton Crew was delayed again for ages wasn’t it supposed to come out before the Acolyte. I think they had this year and next clear so they could get movies out but obviously so much has been delayed/cancelled over the past few years. We don’t even have release dates for any follow up series as I think Disney had everything set on the films from now on

She's leaving, it wasn't up to her, probably from Iger, they're losing money and sequel stuff doesn't sell

There's probably a creative overhaul behind the scenes 

[Something_Awesome]

Not sure how everyone else feels, but I am going to be extremely bummed out if we do not get a UT-AT. We've all wanted galactic marines/troopers, but I'm not as big of a "fiend" for minifigures as others might be. I mean, I am excited for these new clones for sure, but I have never been one to collect custom clones are get hung up on helmet holes etc (though we should have cloth kamas, 100%).

The though of an official UT-AT is mind blowing. Anyone else nervous about what the set might be, or is everyone just about the minifigures? The only other build I could see myself being onboard with is a large bridge build, as LEGO Star Wars needs more location builds. Would make for a top-tier play set. I suppose a bridge with a low part count that uses large pieces is on the table.

It has to be a UT-AT can’t see what else it could be. I’ve seen someone else with idea of it being the marines and having a smaller republic vehicle against a separatist vehicle as we have a recent trend of faction vs faction sets. I think also the piece count is quite low which for me leans more to it being a UT-AT just because location sets have lots of pieces, vehicles I find have fewer

If the set is based on ROTS, it kinda has to be. It could also be a more generic Clone set that just happens to feature Bacara and Galactic Marines. Not sure what the point of that would be, but this is the same year that gives us a yellow AT-RT, so who knows

Yeah the UT-AT is unironically one of my favourite vehicles so I'll be pretty sad if it does turn out to be something else.

Favreau was done with Star Wars after Lucasfilm took parts of Mando Season 3 and inserted them in to Book of Boba. Reports are that Favreau never intended for Grogu to leave Luke.  So to answer your question, it would appear that the creatives did not have creative freedom. So I suppose, at least Favreau, has an excuse. But apparently Favreau is just playing out his final 2 years or so of his contract and wants nothing to do with Lucasfilm any longer. I know people at the company, and it is a toxic environment. Though that should not be surprising as Disney studios have known to have a toxic environment for decades.

Yeah that's my bad my source was @CloneCommando99 saying the $70 and $100 sets were mando movie and I just assumed it meant the others might not be.

People definitely complain a fair bit about Filoni too, especially here(A lot of people dislike how he tends to put the characters he created front-and-center in a lot of stuff. There are situations where I think it's fine but I certainly am starting to agree with some projects) but it's also important to note that the Filoni projects tend to be more well received. (Except Ahsoka, which I personally loved, but again, criticism about Ahsoka is usually aimed at Filoni.)
