Legends Wave: Again, highly unlikely, but never say never. I'll confess my legends experience consists almost solely of Timothy Zahn's legends books, but these sets sound pretty cool from what I can recognize. Finishing out the films with a rogue one wave, almost entirely based on scarif since that's where most of the missing stuff is: (sets with the *** symbol can connect the terrain portions to each other with pins and technic bricks.) Microfighters: TX-225 tank ($9.99): hovertank pilot Blue Squadron x-wing ($9.99): General Antoc Merrick Hammerhead corvette vs zeta shuttle ($19.99): Rebel captain and Imperial shuttle pilot. Battle packs: Scarif Rebels battle pack*** ($14.99): 4 different scarif rebel designs, two of which have the hoth helmet in dark blue. The build is some scarif terrain with a small speeder. Scarif Imperials battle pack*** ($14.99): 2 shoretroopers, a death trooper, and a stormtrooper, the build is some more terrain and an orange crate. Duel: Showdown on scarif*** ($19.99): The sort of walkway Jyn has to go on to align the radar dish, the dish itself, Jyn, Krennic. They have stud shooters in addition to their normal blasters and the ground is tiled, making it easy for the stud shooters to knock them over. $20-30 location set: Rebel Ambush*** ($29.99): Comes with Chirrut and 2 stormtroopers. Build is some terrain and imperial tech, and there's a function where some foliage opens to reveal chirrut to ambush the stormtroopers. Other sets: Blue Squadron X-wing ($79.99): Blue-detailed x-wing with Merrick, an astromech, Cassian (blue jacket), a rebel trooper, and Mon Mothma. Scarif citadel*** ($99.99): kind of like a smaller vader's castle. Interior rooms are the room where K-2SO dies, the records room where they get the plans, the command center, and a hallway or two. Comes with Cassian (disguised), K-2SO, Jyn (disguised), 2 stormtroopers, Krennic, and an imperial officer. Zeta shuttle ($129.99): Shuttle has some interior space in the cockpit and the cargo bay to fit the rebels. Comes with Bodhi, Jyn, Baze, Colonel Tonc, an imperial officer, imperial ground crew, and 2 stormtroopers. Hammerhead corvette ($159.99): Hammerhead corvette with launching escape pods. Comes with Raddus, Draven, a rebel captain, 4 rebel fleet troopers, a stormtrooper and vader. That's the standard amount I've been doing but we'd still need an AT-ACT and a TIE reaper. UCS: UCS U-wing ($299.99): large U-wing (basically a minifigure-scale one), comes with 2 u-wing pilots and Bistan. I'll probably do the seige of mandalore next, then the rest of clone wars, rebels, mandalorain, and resistance. Edited June 10, 2020 by Mandalorianknight I'm an idiot and once again forgot the UCS set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icm Posted June 9, 2020 Sounds like a great Rogue One wave to me! I'd just add that if in our make-believe world the next X-wing can be (in, say 2022) a Blue Squadron fighter with General Merrick, then let's add a Partisan X-wing in 2026 with Two-Tubes and Saw Gerrera.

Omand Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Hello, So, I have been working on some set ideas for awhile, but the recent posts have inspired me to get posting. Some overlap with previous ideas, great minds think alike? :) I am terrible at proposing pricing, so just ideas here with a bunch of sets for each movie. They may or may not be reasonable with Lego's current pricing scheme and release schedule. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Eadu Garrison Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Stormtrooper, 1 x Imperial Gunner, 1 x Imperial Scientist. The main build for the set should be part of the weapons turrets seen during the Battle of Eadu. Perhaps a small version of a turbolaser tower with the archway onto the landing platform the Rebels bomb during the encounter. Accessories to include blasters for the Stormtroopers and Gunner. Scarif Garrison Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Stormtrooper, 2 x Shoretrooper. The main build for the set should include two orange cargo containers as in Set #75152 and a master switch computer console with antenna. Accessories to include regular blasters for the Stormtroopers, and double barrel blasters for the Shoretroopers. Rebel Alliance Pathfinders Battle Pack Mini-figs: 3 x Rebel Pathfinders, 1 x Rebel Pathfinder Officer. Main build for the set should be part of the landing area around the shuttle “Rogue One”, perhaps some of the grey computer boxes/cargo containers. Accessories to include blasters for all of the minis, plus a set of macro-binoculars for the officer. Rebel Alliance Scarif Pilot Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Blue Squadron X-Wing Pilot (Blue Flightsuit), 1 x Gold Squadron Y-Wing Pilot (Orange Flightsuit), 1 x Blue Squadron U-Wing Pilot (Blue Flightsuit); use assorted faces and skin tones. Could make these all “name” pilots from the film. The main build for the set should be a maintenance sled with tools as seen in Rogue One hanger scenes. Accessories should include blaster pistols for all pilots. Erso Farmstead Mini-figs: 1 x Galen Erso (Farmer), 1 x Lyra Erso (Farmer) 1 x Young Jyn Erso Eadu Landing Pad Mini-figs: 1 x Galen Erso (Imperial Scientist), 1 x Imperial Scientist, 2 x Stormtrooper Scarif Citadel Tower Records Vault Control Mini-figs: 1 x Jyn Erso, 1 x Cassian Andor, 1 x Director Krennic, 1 x Death Trooper Scarif Citadel Tower Records Vault Antechamber Mini-figs: 1 x K-2SO, 1 x Imperial Officer, 2 x Stormtrooper Imperial Zeta Class Cargo Shuttle Mini-figs: 1 x Cargo Shuttle Pilot, 1 x Imperial Officer, 1 x Bodhi Rook, 1 x K-2SO This is totally unreasonable as a single wave, likely to be never done. I really like the Battle Packs though. Like with Mandalorianknight's sets, I really like the idea of sets that can link together like the modular building series. Marked with a *** below. This is totally unreasonable as a single wave, likely to be never done. I really like the Battle Packs though.

Episode IV – A New Hope Rebel Alliance Fleet Trooper Battle Pack Mini-figs: 3 x Alliance Fleet Troopers, 1 x Alliance Fleet Officer; use assorted faces and skin tones. The main build for the set should be something like the airlock hallway in the Tantive IV from the start of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Alternatively, perhaps a small combat station with a heavy cannon set up and small radio antenna/communications panel. Accessories to include blasters for all mini-figs. Rebel Alliance Yavin Base Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2x Alliance Fleet Troopers, 1 x Alliance Officer, 1 x Rebel Alliance Technician; use assorted faces and skin tones.

Rebel Alliance Yavin Pilot Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Red Squadron X-Wing Pilot (Orange Flightsuit), 1 x Gold Squadron Y-Wing Pilot (Orange Flightsuit), 1 x Rebel Astromech Droid; use assorted faces and skin tones. Could make these all “name” pilots from Episode IV. The main build for the set should be a troop transport sled as seen in both Rogue One & A New Hope. Accessories should include blaster pistols for all pilots. Imperial Stormtrooper Battle Pack Mini-figs: 3 x Stormtrooper, 1 x Stormtrooper Officer. The main build for the set should be one storage crate that can be opened up (storage space inside) and a bunker or weapon emplacement. Storage crate should be similar to the ones in Set #75141. Accessories should include a pauldron for the officer, binoculars, thermal detonators, blasters for the Stormtroopers and additional blasters in the crate. Imperial Sandtrooper Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Sandtrooper, 1 x Sandtrooper Officer, 1 x Dewback Big Figure. The main build for the set should be a moisture vaporator and sand dune setting, along with a womp rat.

Imperial Inspection Team Battle Pack Mini-figs: 1 x Death Star Officer (Captain), 2 x Imperial Technician, 1 x Stormtrooper. The main build for the set should include an inspection cart and tools as carried by the sensor technicians when the Millennium Falcon was inspected in ANH, as well as one or two storage containers/crates. Accessories to include blasters for the Stormtrooper and Officer, wrenches and tools for the Technicians. Death Star Crew Battle Pack*** Mini-figs: 2 x Death Star Trooper, 1 x Imperial Officer (Lieutenant), 1 x Stormtrooper. Main build for the set should be a section of Death Star corridor that links up with various Death Star playsets to expand the play experience. There should be link pieces on both ends to allow connection with other sets. Alternatively, it could be a guard room set up with computer console, table and working door as a play feature. Accessories to include blasters for all of the mini-figs and a mouse droid. Tatooine Scavengers Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Tusken Raiders, 1 x Jawa, 1 x Bantha Big Figure.

Accessories to include gaffi sticks for the tuskens, a jawa ion blaster, and a womp rat. Mos Eisley Scum Battle Pack Mini-figs: 1 x Wolfman Cantina Patron, 1 x Ithorian Cantina Patron, 1 x Doc Evizan, 1 x Ponda Baba. Main build for the set should be a market stall/trader’s location outside of the Mos Eisley Cantina. Perhaps the alley around the corner where R2-D2 and C-3PO hide when stormtroopers come looking for them. Provide an overhang or cart for a trader’s goods. Doors in the alley should open and close as action features. Accessories to include blasters for all of the characters.

Play features to include some storage boxes/crates as seen in the film around the entrance, the archway between the market and the landing bay, and some exploding brick functions for when the firefight starts. Build idea should use something like the Thor Ragnarok arena for inspiration. Accessories to include a blaster pistol for Garindan, blasters for the Sandtrooper Officer and regular Sandtroopers, a blaster rifle for the Heavy Weapon Sandtrooper, and backpacks for all of the Sandtroopers. Mos Eisley Cantina Stage Mini-figs: 4 x Bith Musician, 1x Sandtrooper. Main build for the set should be an addition to Set #75205, including the other half of the bar and the stage area/alcove where the band plays in the cantina. There should also be another booth or a table or two for patrons. Play features to include glasses for drinks on the bar, some form of games table, and glowing mood lighting for the alcoves. Accessories to include a blaster for the Sandtrooper, backpack for the Sandtrooper, and instruments for the Bith. Death Star Bridge Escape*** Mini-figs: 1 x Luke Skywalker, 1 x Princess Leia, 3 x Stormtrooper. The set should have multiple levels to recreate the scene with Luke and Leia swinging to safety over a chasm in the Death Star. Action features to include four working blast doors that raise and lower on the bridge level and the level above, and a grappling cable for swinging over the chasm. This set could link up with the Death Star Tractor Beam Control set, fitting beside or underneath that set. Death Star Tractor Beam Control*** Mini-figs: 1 x Old Ben (Obi-wan) Kenobi, 2 x Stormtrooper. The set recreates the scene in ANH where Obi-Wan shuts off the tractor beam power controls. There should be two doorways, one at either end of the bridge, a section of corridor outside at least one of the doors, the bridge itself, and the tractor beam power control module. Action features for the set could include moving levers on the tractor beam power module, as well as closing blast doors at either end of the bridge. This set could link up with the Death Star Bridge Escape set, fitting beside or on top of that set layout. Death Star Cell Block AA-23 Rescue*** Mini-figs: 1 x Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper Disguise, 1 x Princess Leia, 2 x Death Star Trooper, 1 x Death Star Torture Droid. The set would recreate the cell block corridor and 6 or 8 cells opening off of it where Princess Leia was held in ANH. Action features to include working cell doors (for all cells) and a trapdoor feature to empty into the trash chute. The set would be elevated like the Rathtar Escape set, with space underneath the main corridor to allow for a chute down to the garbage compactor. This set would be part of a mega-set of 4 that would link together for a bigger play experience. The four combined sets would be the Cell Block Rescue, Cell Block Command Centre, Turbolift Lobby and Trash Compactor. Death Star Cell Block AA-23 Command Centre*** Mini-figs: 1 x Han Solo in Stormtrooper Disguise, 1 x Chewbacca in Handcuffs, 1 x Death Star Officer, 2 x Death Star Trooper.

Death Star Trash Compactor*** Mini-figs: 1 x Luke Skywalker (Tatooine), 1 x Han Solo (Smuggler Outfit), 1 x Dianoga. The set would recreate the trash compactor from ANH. Action features to include moving walls that crush inwards, a ceiling opening to drop in from the detention block, and a working door/hatch to release the heroes. The area just outside of the trash compactor should be detailed with storage crates and look much cleaner than inside. This set would be part of a mega-set of 4 that would link together for a bigger play experience.

Death Star Turbolift Lobby*** Mini-figs: 1 x Imperial Intelligence Officer (White Uniform), 1 x Imperial Protocol Droid/Death Star Droid, 1 x Death Star Trooper, 1 x Death Star Crew. This set would recreate the area where Han and Luke escorted “prisoner” Chewbacca to the turbolift to rescue Leia. There would be two turbolift tubes in the set that are designed to link up with the turbolifts in the Cell Block Command Centre set. There would also be a stretch of Death Star corridor in front of the turbolift doors long enough to provide a clean link with other Death Star play sets. Action features in the set would include opening doors to the turbolifts and a blastdoor that slides down to seal off one end of the corridor. This set would be part of a mega-set of 4 that would link together for a bigger play experience. The four combined sets would be the Cell Block Rescue, Cell Block Command Centre, Turbolift Lobby and Trash Compactor. Death Star Conference Chamber*** Mini-figs: 1 x Darth Vader, 1 x Grand Moff Tarkin, 1 x Admiral Motti, 1 x Imperial Officer. Set should recreate the conference chamber seen in ANH. Action features for the set to include an opening and closing door to the chamber and rotating chairs at the conference table. An included corridor section outside of the conference room proper could be set up to link with other Death Star play sets for more play options. Death Star Primary Weapon Control*** Mini-figs: 2 x Death Star Gunners, 1 x Stormtrooper. A small set to recreate the primary ignition control station of the Death Stars primary laser weapon. It should include the platform for the gunners with control panels, as well as a working blast door and a corridor section outside.

Include link pieces to allow connection with other Death Star play sets. Death Star Lightsaber Duel*** Mini-figs: 1 x Darth Vader, 1 x Old Ben (Obi-wan) Kenobi, 2 x Stormtroopers.

It would consist of a long stretch of Death Star corridor, slanted like in ANH and ending in a blast door at the edge of the hanger bay. Play features to include a closing blast door and a T-junction in the corridor to connect with other sets. Include link pieces to allow connection with other Death Star play sets. Death Star Hanger*** Mini-figs: 1 x C-3P0, 1 x R2-D2, 2 x Stormtrooper. Set to represent the hanger where the Millennium Falcon was pulled into the Death Star.

Rebel Alliance Yavin 4 Briefing Chamber*** Mini-figs: 1 x General Jan Dodonna, 3 x Rebel Alliance Pilots (orange flightsuit), 2 x Rebel Astromech Droids. Set to reproduce the pilot briefing session that takes place before all fighters scramble to destroy the Death Star in A New Hope. Build to include the raised platform that General Dodonna presents from and shows the Death Star plans, along with a large number of seats for the pilots. Could be connected or part of the Yavin 4 Command Centre set. Accessories to include blaster pistols for the pilots and a pointing rod for General Dodanna. The pilot mini-figs could be reproductions of name pilots from the film, or generic pilots, but should all have different faces. Rebel Alliance Yavin 4 Great Hall Mini-figs: 1 x Princess Leia (Honor Ceremony), 1 x Han Solo (Honor Ceremony), 1 x Luke Skywalker (Honor Ceremony), 1 x Chewbacca, 1 x Rebel Officer, 2 x Rebel Honor Guard.

Beleg the Ranger Posted June 9, 2020 @Omand, more Imperials would always be great (and popular) Also, we have not had a Fleet Trooper battle pack in quite a while. I feel that young kids would not be into a few of the more of the less"action based" scene sets above. I can imagine Lego adding some exploding function to make the set "playable" that would be pretty strange to AFOLs. I really find OT sets a lot more appealing to buy, and so do most SW Lego fans who watched ANH in theaters in 1977, and also Empire and ROTJ. Those sets also appeal to younger fans who are disappointed (like me) about the "sequels". Anyway, most OT sets would probably meet with success. Sorry about the heavy acronym use, it feels unavoidable in Star Wars fandom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd just add that if in our make-believe world the next X-wing can be (in, say 2022) a Blue Squadron fighter with General Merrick, then let's add a Partisan X-wing in 2026 with Two-Tubes and Saw Gerrera. Yes! I knew I was forgetting something, we totally need that. Makes me want to mod the 2018 x-wing right now! 32 minutes ago, Beleg the Ranger said: @Omand, more Imperials would always be great (and popular) Also, we have not had a Fleet Trooper battle pack in quite a while.

Sorry about the heavy acronym use, it feels unavoidable in Star Wars fandom. First off, I totally agree, the fleet troopers are one of my favorite star wars designs I and would welcome a battle pack with open arms (I think I have like 16 of the 2008 version, none of the newer ones though). As for OT sets selling the best, I think the fact that the playscale sets for them sell the best is a testament to how good the films are. Any wave that isn't specifically for a new movie almost always has a plurality of OT sets compared to PT and ST, and since those films are newer and have more action you'd think kids would like them more Edited June 9, 2020 by Mandalorianknight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have known plenty of kids who don't care a thing about action features, and just get a set for the figures or ship in it. I've not met a single person who says they are a fan of stud shooters, everybody just wants the classic blaster rifle, pistol, or medium rifle.

No stud shooters from me. :) Cheers Agreed, I get the playability and it's cool, but what would it cost lego to also include the blasters, 5 cents? Seige of mandalore wave: Microfighters: Gauntlet starfighter ($9.99): Rook Kast AT-TE ($9.99): Clone AT-TE driver Headhunter vs snail tank ($19.99): Warthog and a b1 Battle packs: Clone legions ($14.99): 2 332nd troopers, 212th trooper, plain white trooper. Build is a BARC speeder. Mandalorian civil war ($14.99): 2 death watch and 2 mauldalorians (1 male and 1 female each), build is some terrian with exploding feature and catapult-type function like they're flying with thier jetpacks.

UCS: (doubt we'd get one based on the show, so I'll go for something that showed up in the show but is based off episode 2), UCS AT-TE ($399.99): large AT-TE, comes with clone AT-TE pilot and clone trooper (p1). These actually sound pretty fun to build to me, so I'll be MOCing up at least the micros, duel, and battle of mandalore sets.

The one exception in my opinion is Chewbacca's bowcaster. I think the weapon in the movies is huge anyway (remember in TFA when Han used it?) and the stud-shooter version looks fairly accurate to the actual weapon's shape.

Redroe Posted June 10, 2020 Has anyone heard any whispers of what might be next in the Master builders line? I skipped Cloud City even though I sorely wanted it, but if Jabba's Palace was in the wings, I'd be outside the shop forcing my money under the locked door. CC just didnt have the value in my eyes, I got hold of the key figures (Luke and Leia, and Lando from the snowspeeder rehash) and made my own scaled down version.

I think the weapon in the movies is huge anyway (remember in TFA when Han used it?) and the stud-shooter version looks fairly accurate to the actual weapon's shape. Yeah, it's actually more accurate than the castle crossbow they use in a way. 34 minutes ago, Redroe said: Has anyone heard any whispers of what might be next in the Master builders line? I skipped Cloud City even though I sorely wanted it, but if Jabba's Palace was in the wings, I'd be outside the shop forcing my money under the locked door. CC just didnt have the value in my eyes, I got hold of the key figures (Luke and Leia, and Lando from the snowspeeder rehash) and made my own scaled down version. And it feels like a Jabba set is about due. It's unfortunately been confirmed by reliable leakers that MBS is dead. We could still get a massive location set as a d2c at some point, but the label and line are dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But one set in a new series and then stop... did CC really do that badly? The AFOL response was muted to say the least and it wasn't a kids' set, and the figs have started to show up in Advent Calendars, a sure sign that a set has sold badly (Guavian soldiers, Rose Tico...) but still, to end the line after one flagship set, however mediocre, seems like a knee jerk reaction.

It's probably to do with TLG's change of tack with AFOL marketing, what with all the 18+ and new box art stuff. Not sure if the two are related, but as you've implied that set didn't really seem to be aimed at anyone specifically other than the first CC set on the aftermarket.

Redroe Posted June 11, 2020 Another thought is, other than the aforementioned CC and Jabba's Palace, what sets lend themselves to the MSB format that haven't been done by UCS (Echo Base, Endor, Death Star). Seems like more fruitful pickings in the prequels, and the prequels don't get much love in this Disney era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeddytheSpoon Posted June 11, 2020 I'd say Yavin IV would be the obvious one from the OT. As far as prequel sets go, I think someone may have already mentioned it a while back but I could see Naboo working really well in that format. Give it a hangar with a chibi Naboo starfighter, the Darth Maul duel room, bits of Theed, maybe throw Otoh Gunga in there as well with a Boss Nass minifig. Other than that the prequels tend to planet-hop a fair bit so I'm not sure there'd be that much scope for such a big set, except maybe Coruscant. Or, again going off someone's earlier suggestion, an Order 66 MBS set that shows the different scenes where the Jedi get eradicated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Life is too busy. Would make a great set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think assault on hoth would be an MBS style set as well, it's possible the label was created partially in response to the backlash to that thing being called a UCS set. 5 hours ago, TeddytheSpoon said: I'd say Yavin IV would be the obvious one from the OT.

I think the jedi temple could do pretty well, the biggest stumbling block is probably lego not wanting to make the building where the protagonist slaughters large amounts of innocent children (remember this is the company that's founder didn't want gray bricks because he didn't want people building tanks). I think they could just not include any ROTS younglings or clone troopers, but you never know with lego. I can't see a naboo set selling that well, though. TPM is usually seen as the worst star wars film, or at least the worst prequel among the prequel fans, and although the kids who grew up with the prequels are now adults and old enough to buy expensive sets, the main thing people want is clones and GAR vehicles. For the OT, Endor and Yavin would both be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Recently I watched TPM (first time in years), and I actually liked it. Naboo is one of the best locales in a Star Wars movie, and Theed Palace is sort of iconic. It's also unique architecture. For the "Worst" Star Wars film, it has more sets than Empire or Jedi. Naboo is that movie's Hoth, so I can see it doing quite well. And yes, I love clones, but that Palace Battle was something out of James Bond (Jedi Only Live Twice anyone? ) Ideally, it would look like this: Battle of Theed ($299.99): Pretty much the palace, with a scaled-down flash speeder, maybe a droid cart of some kind. Padme Amidala (Battle Dress), Captain Panaka, Obi-Wan Kenobi (New Hair), Qui-Gon Jinn, 2 Royal Guards (Sleek Helmet), Security Officer (Panaka Hat), Security Guard, Nute Gunray Rune Haako, Darth Maul, Battle Droid Commander, 2 Security Battle Droids, 2 Battle Droids, 2 Droidekas. Thing to keep in mind as well, any MBS-style set (whether called that or not) must have conflict, in some way. That might prevent a Jedi Temple (though it could still be a UCS set), but Yavin IV might get the shaft since there's no real conflict there (aside from the Battlefront games), throwing in a Stormtrooper or two in a Yavin IV set may seem a bit jarring. Cloud City's conflict is self explanatory, same with Assault on Hoth and taking things further, the Death Star. Other than Theed, maybe Petranaki could get made after all these years, but if they aren't going to mold the beasts, I'd only have minor interest. For the OT, Endor could see another set (Ewok Village also proving my conflict point), maybe the bunker and some trees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeddytheSpoon Posted June 11, 2020 The only way I could see the Jedi Temple being made is when Obi-Wan and Yoda go back there in RotS, maybe as a £25 location set with some clones in disguise. I guess we'll see about the prequel sets. TPM is my favourite prequel film, and although I'm in the minority, I think we're at a stage where the general feeling has gone from 'hated' to 'ambivalent'. I've said it before but I think the acid test for whether prequels are considered for more big sets like this will be how the gunship sells. Saying that, I agree that clones are far more appealing to kids especially, though I think that's more down to the Clone Wars than Episodes II and III. Was going to mention Ewok Village with a bunker but @ARC2149Nova beat me to it. I would've gone for Jedi Another Day for the Bond thing though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beleg the Ranger Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) I think that it is about time for another Endor bunker, like @ARC2149Nova said. Having it in the 50-100 dollar range would be about right. It would contain 2 scout troopers, 1 Stormtrooper, 1Imperial crewer 2 Rebel commandos, Leia, Han, Wicket, 2 generic Ewoks, the bunker with blast out wall, an Ewok trap and catapult, C3PO, R2, 2 speeders, and maybe an AT-ST and small tree build.

I watched them all on the run up to TRoS, and honestly, TPM does not deserve the hate it gets. There are awful things in it, but the core of the film is solid. Good ensemble cast, climactic battle with uprising primitive natives, bombing run on a space station, and lightsabre duel mixed to perfection. And the much maligned politics section lasts all of 3 minutes. It never bored me as a kid and I didn't feel patronised by it. The script just lets it down fatally. I honestly believe with an accomplished scriptwriter it would be one of the best SW films. AotC however....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can just throw in a few seps or imps, along with a midi vulture droid or TIE, ewok village is a good example. There isn't any fight with the empire in the village itself, it happens at the bunker, but they threw in a few scouties to add some playability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There isn't any fight with the empire in the village itself, it happens at the bunker, but they threw in a few scouties to add some playability. Assuming you mean Yavin IV, Ewok Village made sense due to the fact it's still Battle of Endor related, regardless of where the conflict was. Alternatively, you could argue that said Imperials stumbled upon the Village during patrol (or whatever). Random Stormtroopers would detract from Yavin IV's presence, seeing as how it's only discovered by the Empire just prior to the Battle of Yavin. Not sure where the Seppies come in, unless you mean a Jedi Temple, but that makes even less sense (given that, canonically, we haven't seen the ground Battle of Coruscant). Yes, there's the 2003 series, but you get my point. Even still, I'm down for a Theed Palace like I posited above. Might not happen before the UCS Gunship, but it is a good candidate.
