I have said it before and I'll say it again- Ahsoka may not be the best of the SW shows on a critical level, but it is the most star wars of the star wars shows, and for that reason it is my favorite.

I still haven't watched it, I dislike how Ahsoka is alive during the OT and post Endor time period, she should've stayed dead in rebels. With that said, I'll still give it a fair shake and watch S1 before s2 comes out. Also where are the big three during all of this? Seems weird to have these major events happening without them, but it does sounds exactly like something Disney would do.

Who do you mean with the big three? Han, Leia and Luke?

I’m in the same boat, it just gets the fantastical and mystical side of Star Wars to a degree that no piece of content has in such a long time.

I know people regularly cite the fifth episode of the show as a highlight because of the Anakin parts and whilst I agree they’re great, the scene that best encapsulates the show for me is the end of that episode when Ahsoka communes with the Purrgil and they begin the jump to hyperspace. It’s one of the best moments in Star Wars, period, for me, especially with Kevin Kiner’s score (The Hyperspace Jump).

But yeah, let’s hope for some coverage of Season 2 this summer. As always it will be amusing seeing how every other company will be pushing merch for the show come December / January whilst Lego will remain silent. Again, it really shouldn’t be this impossible to dedicate two set slots to the show.

Exactly. And it's not just that, but the fact that it has the guts to add to the lore, and in a way that feels like it adds to the franchise rather than corrupts like some other content. Bokken Jedi, finally seeing some legends-style Dark Jedi, the concept of training a non-force-sensitive to follow jedi teachings, everything about peridia, he concept of the Dathomir Witches originating from outside the galaxy, etc.

Honestly I almost wish they hadn't done so much with Anakin because so many people just think about the show as "ANAKIN RETURN SHOW". His scenes aren't bad but Sabine, Baylan, Shin, Ezra, and Thrawn are all so much more interesting to me. I agree that the purrgil moment is excellent.

It will be interesting to see if the other merch companies cover it. If they don't, we can assume disney just failed to keep people updated on the scheduling. But if they do, it's a huge misstep by lego. This is by far the most lego-set-able of the live-action shows.

I'm actually able to answer both of these for you:

Ahsoka's plot armor is actually hinted at being an in-universe thing. There is a reason she's still around despite actually straight up dying in TCW and Rebels. It will in part depend on how they reveal the mystery, of course, but they've at least planted enough seeds that there is something more going on than just Filoni favoritism.

The events of the show are fairly small-scale. In effect, they're trying to rescue a rebel commander and potentially stop an imperial grand admiral from returning, and until they're out of communication with the wider galaxy it's widely considered unlikely that either of them can be retrieved. Much like in legends, the wider rebellion isn't all that worried about Thrawn's return until it becomes apparent that the real Thrawn really is back and actively has the numbers to threaten the republic at large. And while we don't see Han Luke or Leia, and I will remain non-specific, their influence is felt and at least one of them is monitoring the events of the show.

Huh. Is that actually happening? I thought it was a April Fools joke?

Oh shoot, I just looked it up more closely and you might be right... could have been part of an elaborated April's Fools prank. The minifigure still looks pretty legit to me and perfectly in line what modern Lego would do with it, but you never know these days. Oh well... that's a slight bummer if true. But better be a little disappointed now than closer to the supposed launch when it would have hit harder. 

 

Alright, the next german LSW Magazine will include the 332nd Clone Trooper. As much as I can appreciate the fact the minifigure streak just keeps on to continue, this constant barrage of getting Troopers left and right, while having to witness Battle Packs going to the gutters right now, is sticking out like a sore thumb to me. Look how excited I am? Okay. Wanna see it again?

I stay with the topic which might raise a very angry and hungry Rancor if this continues. I didn't like Ahsoka S1, therefore the trailer didn't do anything for me even it looks good. Still I will watch S2 and hope for an improvement.

I'm not sure any explanation for Ahsoka sticking around this long will suffice for me. If she's alive during the OT why doesn't she ever help the Rebel Alliance? She's powerful enough to defeat Maul, Inquisitors and go toe to toe with Vader, she'd be a huge asset for the Alliance. 

That makes sense for now, until the events get larger scale... Thinking about it more, I can overlook this one since they'd need to cast new actors or deepfake stuff which I'm not too keen on.

Honestly larger scale is the reason people not showing up in the OT makes sense to me anyway. A Galaxy is a damn big place. Personally I'd prefer recasting to deepfakes.

On the set front, if they did do Ahsoka season 2 sets (which unfortunately aren't a given) I hope they'd do a moulded Loth-Cat

Watched the trailer a few more times. And EckhartsLadder’s analysis video.

It looks like the NR shipyard and ships that the drill ships are being deployed on are gladiator class star destroyers. Which is awesome. And actually work really well for keeping a identifiable imperial shape and suiting Thrawn’s needs for quick deployment task force.

If you need convincing have a look at the shot with the TIE bombers and you’ll see in the background that the NR ships they’re being dropped on have bridge structure and turbolaser emplacements that match the gladiator. 
 

I hope we get a gladiator set that scales with the 2024 ISD.

 

A stormtrooper on Rhydo wrote this about the TIE Avenger (#478 of waiting for the Lego TIE Avenger’s rapture)

TIE to TIE, flying very close
Barely breathing, almost comatose
Wall to wall, troopers hypnotised 
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in TIE Avenger

Back-to-back, sacroiliac
Spineless movement and a wild rebel attack
Face to face, sightless helmets
And it's droid popping
24-hour shooting in TIE Avenger

Fleet 7 Thrawny told me everybody's fly
TK spinnin', I said, "My, my"
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
Jedi not liked, all are for rule of two
And you don't stop, sure not a sure shot
Go out to the hangar lot
And you get in your ship and fly real far
And you fly all night, and then you see a light
And it comes right down, and it lands on the ground
And out comes a woman from Peridia
And you try to go faster, but he's got a blaster
And he shoots you dead, and he eats your head
And then you're in the woman from Peridia
You go out at night, eatin' ships 
You eat Landing Craft, Lambdas, too
ISDs and Nus
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' ships
Then, when there's no more ships, you go out at night
And eat up bars where the people meet
Visor to visor, dance helmet to helmet
One to one, trooper to trooper
Dance toe to toe, don't move too slow
'Cause the woman from Peridia is through with ships
She’s eatin' bars, yeah, wall to wall
Console to console, hall to hall
She’s gonna eat 'em all
TIE Avenger, be pure
Take a tour through the trash compactor 
Don't strain your brain, paint a train
You'll be singin' in the rain
Said, don't stop to punk rock

Pilot to Pilot, body muscular
Seismic charge, bite the jugular
Wing to wing, Umbaran technology
And a holographic ladder
No sign of bad luck in TIE Avenger 

Well, now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on holo TV
'Cause the woman from Peridia
Won't eat up bars where the holo TV's on
Now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have a hassle with the stormtrooper race
And you hit and flop, and you don't stop
Just blast it, not a sure shot
'Cause the woman from Peridia stopped eatin' ships
And eatin' bars, and now he only eats electrostaffs, get up

It would be madness if they completely skipped Ahsoka S2. It's slightly concerning that there are no rumours, but given the show has been delayed multiple times and LEGO seems cool to release TV-related sets long after their source material aired (Cobb Vanth vs Cad Bane, Off-World Sandcrawler as examples), there could well be sets in January 2028.

Ahsoka season 1 for me unfortunately sounds a lot better on paper than it actually ended up. The execution was incredibly mid on so many levels - pacing, uninventiveness with the "new galaxy", mysteries being so mysterious that they're ultimately uninteresting, obvious dull volume shots, Ahsoka being too little like Ahsoka, to name a few. I so wish that it was animated like it was originally supposed to be. They were developing an animated Rebels sequel show, which they dropped, but this is absolutely a Rebels sequel show. However I understand that the animated shows just don't have the same cachet to them despite being far superior to the majority of the live action shows.

It's also kind of a weird feeling seeing this S2 trailer. It looks epic and galaxy-defining, yet it's a streaming show set in a weird in-between time period. They should've done this as a series of films with grand scale and tight pacing.

I know it’s apples and oranges, but it amuses me how they’d rather prioritise ideas like the Iron Falcon before producing tie-in sets to a major show with so many ideas to draw from.

As much as I presume the Iron Falcon is from an upcoming animated special (possibly a Rebuild the Galaxy Season 3), how that takes precedence over something like Ahsoka S2 leaves me scratching my head.

I disagree, an asteroid belt made of space whale bones is metal as ****  The whole idea of the other galaxy mostly serves the plot: it easily explains why Thrawn couldn‘t return before. They did a good job showing how hard it is to find him and bring him back rather than just hand-waving it.

I‘m sure S2 will add more lore to Peridea and the other galaxy, but I wouldn‘t expect too many differences anyway. It‘s not like galaxies in reality are that different from one another

Another example is One Piece. S2 dropped in March, and the sets just got released in August  The upcoming HP HBO show has no rumoured sets either (praying it stays that way, hehe). 

January 2028 would be absolutely brutal though. I still hope for a handful of sets next August!

What I meant was the look and design of the "other galaxy". There was nothing inventive about it. Barren wasteland with some tall statues and tiny weird little critters people and some hunters. Ok. 

I guess it's challenging because we've already seen such a wiiiiide variety of things in the regular galaxy, what were they going to do. But still, I would've liked to see them attempt something a little less boring.

@CloneCommando99: I don‘t wanna appear petty or anything, but I‘m currently sorting my spare parts from the July & August sets I got, and I couldn’t help but remember your comment about your perceived lower number of spare parts  BEHOLD!!!

Of course it‘s from a bunch of themes (SW, One Piece, Marvel, AC, Pokémon, KPDH, JW, Ideas, Sonic, Mario, and Minecraft, plus one Dreamzzz set to be precise), but still. A decade ago, this would‘ve been the result of a year‘s worth of sets

I suppose that's true but we have only seen one planet from the outer Galaxy so far. I agree it would've been cool if the non-Nightsister inhabitants were more 'alien' even for aliens.

I wouldn't be surprised if there an Animated D+ thing too though, a crossover comic hardly seems like the thing they'd prioritise sets for when they don't even cover normal starswars comics and give us characters like Aphra or Boolan or Avar let alone even cover recent animated non-Lego shows like the later seasons of Bad Batch, Visions, tales or Maul Shadow lord!!

In other news apparently some of the 'smart' play sets have been delayed/cancelled, the Ewoks one, the Boba Fett one and a Hoth one that isn't the AT-AT

And there part counts for the star fighter sets, two in the seven hundreds and the big one is in the fourteen hundreds. So no small sets there! And I thought we were seeing a positive trend with Minecraft and Mario's 2027 line ups!!!

You know, the main question I have about this: Did you took a two month break from work or where did you find the time to build all of this? ;)

I built them across the span of 12 or 13 days, a few sets each day after work  I always start with the smallest sets and work my way up. Since I always get everything on day 1, the busiest months are definitely January, June, and August.

Some years I actually did take a week or two off from work, but not this year

It's a single, dying world. And as @BrickBob Studpants points out there's a sick ring formed out of space whale bones. And I don't think it's exactly a coincidence that the geographic style is similar to what's around the Mortis temple in clone wars. (Also, what would you even do to be "inventive" for a planet when the existing galaxy has Felucia, Umbara, Cato Nemodia, and the like, without stretching the definition of what even constitutes a planet?)

Where did you hear that? The crossover comic is the marvel and star wars characters interacting with each other- Doom and Vader teaming up and the like- whereas the set is a literal mashup of the characters.

[BrickBob Studpants]

One thing that gives me hope for Ahsoka S2 sets is the fact Enoch‘s still missing. That alone doesn‘t guarantee anything, but the common assumption was that they would save him for later sets, and they still might do exactly that. The fact we got a BP just last year also proves that they have faith in this particular show

And if you can‘t tell, Ahsoka is my favourite out of all the shows. As @Mandalorianknight says, it‘s the most SW-feeling show out of all of them and just good ol’ fun with cool characters, great action, awesome character moments, and nifty lore expansions. And S2 looks even better! Andor has a better story and dialogue of course, but it‘s nowhere near as fun

Also: Oh no, some Smart Brick sets got delayed or cancelled! Anyway, where are my Ahsoka S2 rumours?!

Also also: Prepare for a full-scale CloneCommando99-style epic crusade if it doesn‘t pan out. I will launch it once we have the full 2027 set list

Exactly this. I also think a lot of the mystical and otherworldly aspects of Peridea will actually be explored via the temples / catacombs / etc. on the planet, especially in the upcoming season.

I definitely think this is based on an hitherto unknown animated special for next year. The set seems to mash up both universes whilst the comic that was announced is merely a crossover (still a cool idea).

Very curious about three Smart Play sets being delayed. I would assume it’s because of how front-loaded January-April already is (19 sets in total I think?) and not because the universe has recognised what a waste of set slots they are. Either that or it’s just a complicated release pattern because of next year being the debut for this year’s Smart Play sets for remaining territories that didn’t get them in 2026.

But yeah, 19 sets across the first four months of the year is an incredibly high number, it’s nice that so many of them are playsets too. I’m getting ahead of myself but I really want to know what next August’s lineup is going to be, and I sure hope even more set slots aren’t going to be wasted on Marvel x Star Wars.

@BrickBob Studpants I’m similar to you, I tend to buy most of the sets I want on release day but it takes me ages to get around to actually building them!

Source: I made it up

I saw that they were doing a crossover comic and I assumed that they're connected but maybe not.
