The UCS of this year may be the separatist flag ship anakin. And obi wan and chancellor was on and it might include count and grievous?

Not too sure that Lego would do an invisible hand model. They had most of those characters in the Malevolence so cannot see any real reason to redo a fairly identical ship two or so years later. Perhaps we would get a Laati as a UCS set before that, apart from killing Dooku it is a fairly insignificant ship for EP3.

Speculation about what you think a set might be or what set you want doesn't belong here. This is a rumors and pictures topic, for discussion of things we know from rumors with sources. Discussion of sets you want to see or think we'll see belongs in Future Star Wars Sets. Thanks.

A few things...

4. Could the recruitment line possibly hint remakes? A new ISD in the future maybe?

Wow... lucky guess...

Apart from that I am rather interested in how LEGO will handle the Rebels sets...

Eh I'm just now getting upset about the Planet Series 4 not coming stateside.

I don't buy planets. I've bought 1 that was on sale.

Buuut the next wave looked good. As a guy who came late to Star Wars Lego I have no Rebel Troopers. I'd love that one. I'd also love the B-Wing one which I hope comes with this upcoming B-Wing. And I can always use the snowspeeder pilot. Basically that wave had ones I'd actually BUY. :P

The worst part is that they didn't finish all the planets. I thought about paying 3x the cost to get them from Europe, but I won't have Dagobah, so what's the point? Hoth also appears to have a big orange dot on both half circles, which is unappealing.

I gave in and ordered them from Europe (though I made sure not to fully calculate the conversion rate until after they had shipped- if I had done it up front, I probably wouldn't have bought them!)

The dot on Hoth does indeed look a bit out of place, like somebody poked it with a sharpie, but it's really not all that noticeable. Also, the way I put the planet together looks fine with the dots 90 degrees apart from eachother, so it's easy to face them against the back wall.

I would have expected a few more to be announced as well: Mustafar and especially Yavin Prime which I think was so much more recognizable than Yavin 4. They should have been more ambitious and sold an entire galaxy all at once; just the planets and connections or spacelanes. I feel the planets were mishandled as a sub theme - the only way they could have succeeded would have been a giant set. Like maybe a board game or something, Lego even has a board game toy line for Jeebers Beibers.

All 12 planets on a table together would look awesome. Has anyone seen an image of this?

I'm certainly not confident enough in my painting abilities to try and make a custom planet by painting it, but I guess Lego has the mold now, and it can appear in newer sets. Does the new Mos Eisley Cantina have a dome?

I can make one...

Here's one with all the stuff, I didn't think to photograph just the planets.

In the pre-lim images, you can see a white outline of a dome above the main door. I don't think it's a planet piece though, they have awkward connections, but we'll see.

In the Cantina preliminary image, you can see the hinge that the dome connects to. The planet can't connect like that, so I don't think that piece will be used.

Might we get ten minifigures instead of eight? I only say this because on that website it said we are getting eight, but on that catalogue two of them were going to be brand new? And to me Obi Wan is not brand new. So surly that means two of them are still yet to be revealed?

The catalog lists 7 figures, 2 of which are Bith musicians. That makes the Bith and the unnamed 8th character both "new".

These are not the droids you are looking for.

Oh God, why? This was the perfect moment for new pilots.

I reckon there would be plenty of time for Lego to release the entire squadron once the Rebels show is out.

So wish the rebels show could take place right after ep3 but the ghost looks like it will be like the defender class cruiser with only space for figs in the cockpit
