At least I have the Starfighter and Ahsoka S2 sets to look forward to

ikr. There’s no TIE Avenger

We’re putting our faith into the Hail Mary. If Starfighter fails that might be it for the SW brand theatrically.

I understand that some of these haven‘t been seen in years, but the playsets are all remakes of sets we’ve seen multiple times before. It’s the third Anakin’s yellow Delta JSF, the fourth Mustafar Duel, the fourth Bespin Duel, the sixth OT/RO Y-Wing, and one of many many Battle of Endor sets.

 

I think the wave of different reactions is also quite interesting! But that’s the beauty of a diverse fanbase.

I do see where your opinion is coming from in a lot of ways, but the wave really does have the potential to be something special:

- Anakin’s Delta-7b: A new Delta-7 variant doesn’t sound exciting I agree, but the prospect of finally getting a definitive General Skywalker minifigure on the same quality as last year’s General Kenobi is definitely tantalising. If they’ve gone back to the drawing board to make these ships smaller and sleeker, that’s a huge win too.

- Duel on Mustafar: Agree this doesn’t feel overwhelmingly new, but the 2020 set was too small and basic IMO. Getting a substantial build of this scene is a great prospect (something we haven’t ever received really, all the Mustafar-related stuff we’ve had have either been very small and disparate, or hobbled in favour of play functions). 

- Duel on Bespin: We haven’t had a true playscale Cloud City playset since 2003 which IMO is criminal given how much the verticality of it as a location would be perfect as a toy. I wouldn’t class this a remake at all.

- OT Y-Wing: Agree this is boring personally, but something that’s been missing from shelves for a very long time. I’m sure they’ll find a way to include some interesting characters.

- Endor Battle Pack: Again something we haven’t had in ages.

I agree much of this isn’t ’new-new’, but it’s certainly more refreshing than most of Lego Star Wars’ output this year. To each their own though, and I’m sure there’ll be some even cooler stuff in the summer.

Really excited to see the Starfighter and Ahsoka S2 sets too. I really hope they don’t just ignore the latter.

“Refreshing” is not a term I would chose to describe a bunch of uninspired-sounding remakes, without a single unique playset in sight. You can criticise the greyness of the Mando sets, but Cobb Vanth’s speeder, the prototype AT-AT, Offworld Sandcrawler, and Imperial Shuttle are all wayyyyy more interesting than any of these January sets, even if you don’t care all that much about the Mandoverse

You’re way more optimistic than me  After Nien Nunb and the Death Star exclusives like Tagge, there are pretty much no interesting OT characters left. 

The positive response to the Marvel January wave makes perfect sense with its many fresh, unique set ideas, long-requested minifigs, and bonkers concepts. This wave simply has none of that, and yet has had a similarly positive response, which I just find strange

[RyansRebuid]

I think for somebody like me who doesn't have all these scenes the wave sounds appealing. Sure, they've done a bunch of this before, but these are good scenes/ships and I don't have a complete collection. Something like a nice play-scale Y-Wing sounds great to me. The AT-AT and Imperial Shuttle from this year are pretty similar riffs on existing good sets. (And with apologies to Cobb Vance I don't like his speeder nor do I care about the blue guy.)

I’ve been lurking for over a year at this point and today is the day that I’ve got something interesting enough to say that I’ve actually made an account.

In regard to the idea of Episodes 1-6 each getting a set with a McQuarrie anniversary figure, I know there’s been discussion of what the Episode I set might be. I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention the recent news that a speed champions set is getting chrome silver wheels soon, the first chrome silver part since 2013 I believe. Combining that with the fact that we haven’t had a Naboo Starfighter playset since 2015, it might be a pipe dream, but I really think there’s a chance that we’re getting a Naboo Starfighter playset with Chrome Silver. This gives them an excuse to put Episode I Anakin in a set to have that unifying theme, and *fingers crossed* we could get a battle of Theed Padme finally. If I were Lego, I’d probably include the McQuarrie C-3PO in this set, with the loose connection of young Anakin having built him. I think people would pay $100 for a chrome silver N-1 with Theed Padme, it’d be a slam dunk.

There was recently an image of some drum lacquered gold legs which could either be a test part or could be a prototype for a McQuarrie C-3PO.

[Murdoch17]

Welcome to Eurobricks @RebelFriendRyan! I think if we ever get a chromed N-1, a Naboo royal starship would surely be right behind it? ... at least, I hope it would be, as it's LONG overdue!

No way. Even if they bring chrome back in a bigger capacity, you’d need A LOT of different recoloured pieces, and they’d have to design it in a way that only the outmost layer actually uses these pieces. Any contact between pieces, and you’ll immediately have scratched and damaged parts.

For this reason, I’m sceptical about the allegedly leaked metall gold leg piece, despite having seen the picture. Changing the torso would quickly damage the part, no?

Maybe just a totally Light Bluish Gray royal Naboo Starship, then? I would love to have one in any form, even without chrome. Plus - without chrome it would continue the tradition of triangular grey ships! Don't be cowards LEGO - give the people what they want!

I would say that even if Starfighter fails, SW is too big to fail to quite that extent, but... yeah, the other major space franchises- while not quite as big- are if anything failing significantly harder. I don't think it would permanently kill SW movies, but it'd at least ensure a decade or two without any... which might be what the franchise needs.

Exactly.

What it comes down to is that the wave is only uninteresting if you've managed to buy almost every star wars set for decades of time. 99% of us obviously haven't. So for that 99%, new versions of some of the most iconic scenes and vehicles in the saga that haven't been done in the better part of (or more than) a decade are the stuff that makes a wave amazing.

Welcome to eurobricks!

I think there's a chance, at the least. The Naboo fighter is THE episode one vehicle, so if it is the case that the anniversary figs come with a set for each saga movie (or at least 1-6), I think that would definitely be the one lego goes with.

Yeah. A Naboo Royal Starship won't happen, at the very least not fully chromed out. If they really wanted to do one it would be LBG, or if they planned it out right they could do the crest, Mando's N-1, and the starship in the same year or so all in pearl silver and spread the budget between all three.

While not as dire as others, I’d argue that SW’s fall in the last 3 years has been exceptionally shocking as it started out much bigger. And has comparatively fallen from guaranteed billion dollar hits to barely (if even) breaking even on the lowest budget movie ever made for the franchise.

Maybe we do need a break. But something tells me the sequel revisionism is not going to happen. None of the cadets I work with like the sequels. They like the OT, PT and Clone Wars. If the generation who were young kids when the sequels released don’t even like them, then what chance do they have? Especially since there’s no Clone Wars type show to make it retroactively better. (And we’ve moved past the timeframe where such a show would be feasible at this point.)

They’re going to need to give enough time for a new gen to be introduced and enthralled in the core 6 movies. And then do something that balances nostalgia and originality.

Or just do something completely new without any overt ties to what came before. That’s why I like the idea of the Dawn of the Jedi movie. Just tell a original story that feels like Star Wars, yet has barely anything to do with the Skywalker Saga

All the shows and spin-offs so far are still tied to the core saga in some capacity, even The Acolyte with Plagueis, Yoda, and Ki-Adi Mundi showing up. It gets harder and harder for new fans to latch onto SW with the deluge of movies and shows we have now! 

[RyansRebuid]

I agree that it would be great to sever the ties from the current Star Wars saga/continuity.

I'd be okay if the movies for Star Wars went away. But I'd worry a little bit that that would mean less Star Wars other stuff that I like, like games, books, and ofc Legos. Obviously, since the 90s we've basically constantly gotten that extra stuff whether or not there were movies coming out. But if Star Wars really is weaker than ever, or maybe weakest since like 1989, then I worry about the smaller media material getting cut down to size

I think Disney missed their second chance with the D+ shows. Imagine if BOBF and Kenobi were great shows?

I was 11, 13, and 15 when the sequels came out and definitely wasn't a fan. They weren't popular among my peers either except TFA was popular when it came out.

I don't think the New Gens will be enthralled with the core 6, they're pretty old at this point. Obviously they'll always have fans, but there will be newer stuff that's more popular.

Jokes aside I actually do think that a protracted period of major new Star Wars content might be great for Lego Star Wars, it'd give them more room to cover more niche/obscure stuff that gets skipped over in favor of covering popular older movies and the new stuff.

Don't worry, there's plenty of other places Boss Nass could appear if lego wants to do so. He'd make a good draw to get the @BrickBob Studpantses of the world to buy another AAT

Do it, lego. It will bankrupt your company. (In all honesty yeah, I believe a few designers have said they read the forums (Hi. Mara Jade, please.), though I doubt it correlates to actually getting sets. We are a very very small minority here, and even if lego was scouring social media for ideas, newer-style social media with a like feature would be a lot more helpful to them since they can see how popular ideas are with thousands of likes rather than a few people quoting it.

I think that's about right, though unlike the other two Zam is a bounty hunter who plays an action role in the movie. That said, I don't think it was much more likely for us to be getting Zam than it is for us to get a Queen Amidala or Boss Nass eventually- I just think they'd be in another set. If anything I think Zam helped Bounty Hunter pursuit's odds, as it's literally the only set that could include her.

I don't know. Off the top of my head the N-1, MTT,  AAT, etc are all more likely options to include either of those characters- I could also see a small location set for the queen's rescue. Podracer and Sith Infiltrator too of course (especially the infiltrator because it's a Maul set)- but those of course wouldn't include the specific figs we're talking about.

I don't know, man... I just don't see it. The figure line-up would probably be rather limited for a new AAT. If he was part of a bigger set, like some sort of Battle of Naboo set, or like you mentioned a new MTT later down the line, then yeah... I can see that. Still don't think, as unlikely as it might be, the chances of a new Gungun Sub are (nigh) impossible. 

Yeah, I know. I'm well aware social media is all the rage nowadays. So Lego would be wise to do market research there instead of an enthusiast bubble. Although I prefer to communicate via the latter. As they just lack the soul and personality for many conversations at hand. 

I obviously agree that you can't really include Zam anywhere else than in the Bounty Hunter Pursuit, which is arguably one of the most requested Remakes in recent memory. Just don't think a new Gungun Sub is much less likely to reappear. Maybe by a bit but not much. 

As you already said, TPM sets became a real rarity this decade. This downward trend cannot be denied. So it's kinda difficult to pinpoint the likelihood of specific sets including certain minifigures. At the end of the day, though, I would be fine with either of those sets in order to get those minifigs. Just want that treaty signed. 

On 6/16/2026 at 4:14 AM, Darth_Bane13 said:

I definitely thought of you when I was talking about Boss Nass. He'd fit so perfectly in the Gungan sub since he was in the scene right before it showed up. I honestly can't see him realistically showing up in another set like the AAT.

Oh really, what gave you that idea? 

I definitely agree with you here.

I'm surprised you're this surprised. I remember a time when January waves were not even remotely this meaty and not even like a real wave at all. So people getting excited over this fact alone seems plausible to me. Personally, even though that's not a terribly high bar to beat, 2027 is shaping up to be much more exciting than this year.

Welcome to the Eurobricks madness. 

Yet another guy who gets it. The Skywalker Saga style Theed Padmé looks great and should serve as the main design inspiration for the official minifigure... like many other never before done characters or respected versions.

I wouldn't say the fall's been the last 3 years specifically- you could really say it started anywhere from 2017 to this year- but yes, it certainly was the biggest of the three. (That said, it's also in the strongest remaining position, since there is at least a fair amount of content on the horizon that's not considered DOA.)

It needed a clone wars, and the lack of one was a major issue. That show pulled off miracles for anakin (to the extent it's almost difficult to believe the Anakin in AOTC canonically becomes early season Anakin in just a few months), it could easily have fixed any issues with Rey. All Finn and Poe really needed were their own arcs, most criticism of those characters is Finn being relegated to screaming "Rey!" and Poe- the guy that they actually gave TCW-style content to and gained fans from- sort of getting shunted to the side and put down.

KOTOR, KOTOR, KOTOR. The Thrawn trilogy with recast actors could also be cool, but I don't know if people are ready for that.

I still am shocked the "break glass if we mess up the sequels" option wasn't KOTOR. It's far removed from anything new fans would need knowledge on, but still very recognizably star wars- you've got the lightsabers, the jedi, the sith, the clone/stormtrooper archtype, mandalorians, etc. And it's beloved by fans, so announcing it's finally coming to the screen would probably help with a demo they're clearly struggling with. (Who would have thought we'd be in a situation where "fans of the franchise" is a demo the company's losing?)

I think there's a nonzero chance this was going to be the Benoiff and Weiss trilogy, and lucasfilm just scrapped the whole thing when they axed those two. (Which is another part of the issue with how they seem to have picked movies during that era of now-all-cancelled films- they were choosing a writer or director and going "make a star wars movie" rather than choosing an idea and then finding a writer and director for it. Which among other issues meant that if the director was falling off or not working out, instead of swapping him out the whole project gets killed.)

They weren't popular among my peers either except TFA was popular when it came out.

 I mean yes, unironically, if they went 20 years without any new live-action content that's the type of thing that could cause a big meta shift in how lego chooses sets and therefore give something like that a real shot.

This is something I think everyone forgets- people did like TFA when it released, and it's just sort of been beaten down by the latter two. Sort of a reverse of ROTS with the prequels, instead of the best film coming last and boosting the trilogy, the best film comes first and then you get hit by a semitruck and a second, smaller semitruck. But people generally liked TFA, there was a TON of hype for "episode VIII" very early on, I still remember all the theories that Kylo and Rey would switch sides- both giving EP8 a dark ending with rey's fall similar to ESB's dark ending and Anakin's fall, but having Ben's redemption mirror/counter that (poetry it rhymes and all that).

AATs have varied a fair bit in price over the years, so it's always possible we get something like the 2015 one where they only have room for one figure- in which case it wouldn't be Nass- but if it was something like the 2009 or even 2020 AATs I think he'd have a fair shake- lego does like to throw more obscure/unique figs into remakes when there's a good option for it sometimes. If anything I think the biggest difficulty a potential AAT set would have in including Nass is that at the moment they'd never make a TPM one when they could make a TCW one to use as a clone battle pack.

Agreed.

The MTT I think is his best chance, but of course we just had one that was inexplicably used as a vehicle to provide a Commander Bly minifigure rather than the vastly more iconic version.

I still know a lot of people who have a soft spot for TFA, I thought it was decent upon release, safe to say I like it a lot less now. Anyways It felt like Star Wars was hugely popular the whole period from the first TFA trailer to TLJ. You had Star Wars Battlefront come out in 2015 which is still the best selling Star Wars game and TFA which is the highest grossing Star Wars movie. Then you had R1 which is still viewed as the best Disney SW movie, Rebels was also airing during this period. The first canon books and comics were pretty well liked too. I'd argue it was one of Star Wars most popular/mainstream eras. It's crazy how TLJ came out and 6 months later no one cared about Star Wars anymore lol.

Don’t worry about it if beating the dead Tauntaun was a crime I’d be in the Citadel. (Narkina 5 is for the casuals)

Speaking of which, today I’ll be butchering the theme song of one of the best animated Marvel shows:

He is a man on a mission
In a TIE Fighter of high tech ammunition
Trapped on the edge of an endless game
His renegade life will never be the same
In a dangerous galaxy he does all he can

He’s Cassian An[dor]
Cassian An[dor]

The heart of his power's within him
No force will make him give in
When he’s backed into a corner of uncertainty
He takes the heat to next degree
He’s more than a rebel, believe what you see

He’s Cassian An[dor]
Cassian An[dor]

He’s Cassian An[dor]
Cassian An[dor]

Oh right. I forgot he was in Resistance. In fact I think I just forgot about Resistance. (Except for Commander Pyre, his armour is just too exquisite)

I’ve only watched the KOTOR cinematics, but yes a movie just like that would be peak. The only problem would be figuring out an actual plot which doesn’t fall into M&G’s problem of moving locations just to do another CGI fight.

If Filoni’s HttE movie goes ahead it has to include the OT. The guy from Solo and Carrie Fisher’s daughter are already in the Lucasfilm contact pool. They just need to get Sebastian Stan for Luke and they might have a winner on their hands. (I could see Mando getting shoehorned in to accompany Lando and Han on the Lady Luck or the Karrde plot line, Carson Teva just being added to part of Wedge’s plot line (or maybe replacing him but hopefully not) and then Ezra doing the intelligence gathering Luke was doing at the start of Last Command and helping in the C’Baoth boss fight.

Generation Tech made a good point a couple of weeks ago that Luke needs to come back so the franchise has a paragon of pure light-side. Star Wars is ultimately the story of Good vs Evil and we’ve not really had anyone purely good as a protagonist for a while. While the villains are always pure evil.

Lucasfilm has made a lot of mistakes in the past decade. Firing those two clowns was not one of them. We do not need the Rebel/ Jedi protagonist to have ‘kinda forgot about the imperial fleet.’

Agreed.

Even TLJ was a fun for me in the Cinema first time, apart from getting a bit upset about Luke’s characterisation. But upon rewatch I noticed the numerous damning flaws. I do at least respect Rian Johnson for daring to try and do something different, but I think he should just stick to making his excellent Knives Out films. (Or a SW murder mystery could be cool as a D+ Special)
 

Maybe Anakin’s Starfighter will include R3-S6?

I think the feeling around TFA is more sour now because it commits the huge canon sin of blowing up like 5 planets. And now that it's not the new! Star! Wars! movie anymore its almost exact match to A New Hope is more obvious. The Last Jedi is the best of the three, but got trapped in the culture war, which I don't think was ever a big issue for Star Wars before that. A bummer. It's got a lot of flaws but it also has, like, any original ideas at all, which is unique among the Disney movies. (Rogue One is in second there, but I just rewatched it and honestly I think Andor has made it overrated.)

Generation Tech made a good point a couple of weeks ago that Luke needs to come back so the franchise has a paragon of pure light-side. Star Wars is ultimately the story of Good vs Evil and we’ve not really had anyone purely good as a protagonist for a while. While the villains are always pure evil.

I think I'd strongly disagree with this idea. Luke doesn't lean into it as hard as Rey or ofc Anakin, but there's dark-side dalliances in both Episodes 5 and 6. The most recent set of villains Kylo Ren and (IM THE SPY ) General Hux both make morally complex actions.

(Edit: Maybe you were talking TV canon, but this is w/r/t movies. I haven't followed the modern TV canon closely. And honestly I think someday the shoe will drop and all the bad TV will be excised from the canon just like the original EU.)

Speaking of the guy, Luke's X-Wing is getting swapped out at work today with the Sith Infiltrator. Time to go home and hang out with Dodonna, Luke. My office energy is now sinister.

This is why TLJ was so disappointing, for most of the movie Luke was a whiny loser. We were robbed of the real Luke.

AATs have varied a fair bit in price over the years, so it's always possible we get something like the 2015 one where they only have room for one figure- in which case it wouldn't be Nass- but if it It's kinda difficulty to pinpoint the likelihood of specific sets including certain minifigures.was something like the 2009 or even 2020 AATs I think he'd have a fair shake- lego does like to throw more obscure/unique figs into remakes when there's a good option for it sometimes. If anything I think the biggest difficulty a potential AAT set would have in including Nass is that at the moment they'd never make a TPM one when they could make a TCW one to use as a clone battle pack.

The MTT I think is his best chance, but of course we just had one that was inexplicably used as a vehicle to provide a Commander Bly minifigure rather than the vastly more iconic version.

You see, in a less obvious and weird way, we seem to see where we're coming from with our respective standpoints. You think we won't see a new Gungun Sub at all, but can admit a Boss Nass minifigure would be a sensible inclusion. While I think he would be less likely included in an AAT, but the set itself is more likely to show up again. 

If everything goes to plan, I will have the MTT in person next month. It's not for me, but I look forward to build it and toy around with the deployment play feature.

Personally, that's one of the biggest criticisms of the ST. They just straight up ruined the original cast of characters. They were little more than Hollywood-approved marketing tools in order to make Star Wars fans lose their minds over two seconds representation in a trailer. Something part of the fanbase is very susceptible to fall for.

Obviously this back-and-forth has gone on for ages, so I doubt I'm adding anything you haven't heard, but I'll just present the opposition case. Which is that Luke is whiny in much of Episodes 4 and 5, and has mostly overcome this in Episode 6, but people aren't stagnant. Bad changes in people's lives can undo or challenge "character development." I think "whiny" Luke was so much more of an interesting choice than some generic Wizened Sage character. The Luke/Rey stuff is the strongest material in that movie, and is in so many ways reminiscent of Yoda/Luke.

Yeah, I just strongly disagree. I don't think all the choices were right, but the characters have all grown (or changed) in interesting and challenging ways.

Luke will always be one of my favourite characters in fiction, but it pains me how much his character direction in the modern canon has been to try and emulate the PT-era Jedi in terms of stoicism and detachment rather than being the ‘first of the new’ Jedi; taking what worked before and building on what didn’t. I suppose Rey will fill that role in the upcoming films, but I will always see it as Lucasfilm’s greatest failure as storytellers not to capitalise on decades of anticipation of a resurgent Jedi Order and New Republic.

Back on topic, Solid Brix’s review of the Imperial Shuttle has sold me on the set, but the minifigure selection really is quite boring IMO. Getting Pershing, an updated Gideon, and the Shuttle Pilot is cool and all, but they’re kind of bland too. With the Mando-focus this year, I would liked to have finally seen a TIE Outlander.

Can’t wait for reviews of the Sandcrawler and Remnant AT-AT.

Can’t wait to see if the AT AT is sturdy.

That, the armoured marauder parts I’m PABing and the Endor BP (if it has 4 imps) are going to do wonders at bolstering my remnant/ garrison.
