Mymaker123 Posted October 21, 2017 I don’t know why, but that Luke might just be one of my favourite figures in a long time. Again, I’m not sure why since there’s some major inaccuracies with it, but as a product on its own separate from the on-screen counterpart it just looks so damn cool to me.

ToaDraco Posted October 21, 2017 Wow that Luke minifig looks amazing. I honestly wasn't expecting a new hairpiece but it looks great. His staff seems too big and rather inaccurate based on what we've seen but I'm not terribly bothered by it. I think the torso print looks great even if it isn't 100% accurate as well. They did do a great job with the face print imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benderisgreat Posted October 21, 2017 The worst thing about new Luke is that apparently he doesn't come with his green lightsaber! But I guess it's more of a Lucasfilm fault rather than Lego. At least this can be easily corrected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bardan_Jusik Posted October 21, 2017 Is it just me or does it look like there is a clip for a lightsaber on his belt? Probably just for his shockstaff thing but I can hope... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plissken Posted October 21, 2017 I really like the Luke figure and I like the fact, that it is the bright costume. Looks more Jedi-like than the dark one. The new hairpiece is fantastic. It would be perfect for an Ego (Guardians of the Galaxy 2) figure (or any other long-haired Kurt Russell character ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mahtion Posted October 21, 2017 Luke is like Resistance Rey, colors are wrong. Luke has way too much white, when he is more equal parts light tan and white. Makes no sense and ruins the character. I'll use the custom I got last year. I don't have much hope for a $24.99 Ach-to set honestly. It may not even come with a single porg at this point. I'm guessing no Praetorians either, I already accepted no DJ or Canto Bight sets. Lego is dropping the ball I feel like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean... *Snip* I think we shouldn’t be too worried about the current face for old Luke, since both the 2014 Luke and the 2015 Old Han Solo received major upgrades to their face prints in subsequent sets. I think that dark tan should be the only colour used for Luke’s hair in OT sets also, tan is just plain wrong.

Whovastron Posted October 22, 2017 I think the most interesting thing about Lego Star Wars is that they have never really been able to capture the main characters correctly. At least in my opinion, they have never been able to capture Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie right. Han has always looked awful from the face and hair, the 2016 Death finally brought us a version that fits the bill, but that took 16 years to perfect... leia has been fine, but I don't get her character's vibe like I do from character's like Rey. luke has always had the shortest straw though, Lego has tried so hard, the 2014 version above being evidence of that... but he either comes out looking creepy or just not looking detailed enough. And it seems their failure to capture Mark Hamil has moved over to him as an older man. this is all just my opinion though. I would say however that I think the Force Awakens game version of Luke was pretty much perfect... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dukeside Posted October 22, 2017 I really don't understand the criticism with colors/accuracy. It's a lego mining, if you want accuracy, buy a black series figure, or bandai kit, or hot toys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wesker Posted October 22, 2017 Glad we're finally getting Luke! The hairpiece looks fantastic and while there may be a bit too much white on the torso, the tan cape helps balance the colors out. The face print takes a bit of time getting used to but I'm definitely getting more of a Hamill vibe here than I do with most Luke minifigures. 2 hours ago, Mahtion said: Luke is like Resistance Rey, colors are wrong.

Lego is dropping the ball I feel like. Be patient. We'll get DJ and Canto Bight eventually. Look how long it took for Lego to cover The Force Awakens: 2 waves just to get Leia, Maz, Ackbar and FO Technician. 3 waves for Unkar Plutt, Teedo, Lor San Tekka, Luggabeast and Jakku Poe. 4 waves for Bala-Tik, Guavians, Rathtars, Major Brance and the Blue Uniform FO Officers. Plus TLJ sets for Ach-To Rey, Jedi Master Luke, Snoke, Ematt and Flight Suit Poe. As it stands they've been doing a much better job at covering the characters in the Sequel Trilogy than they have with the Prequels, which still has too many absent characters and variants to name. 14 minutes ago, Whovastron said: I think the most interesting thing about Lego Star Wars is that they have never really been able to capture the main characters correctly.

Han's face print has always been fine and the new hairpiece has only improved the likeness. As for Leia I think the angry expression of both her young and old faces capture her character perfectly. The smirk expression I'm a bit more mixed about - it works well for the older version from TFA, but I think the smile from the UCS Millennium Falcon fits the younger version better.

Markalus Posted October 22, 2017 Inaccuracies aside that Luke minifig looks great! I love the new hairpiece mold but out of curiosity is there any reason why Lego can't lay a second colour/print over hairpiece molds like they do for heads, torsos, etc? Is it a practical or cost issue? I know there are some Friends minidolls that have dual-coloured hair so it must at least be possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But still I would have given it a try.. And what's everyone talking about wrong colours for the outfit? Didn't he always wear these exact colours since the new trilogy?

It's not that they can't, look at Wyldestyle from the Lego movie, and it's the same reason they won't use dual molding; remake opportunities and budget. It's a win-win situation for them; ommit technology they aquired and applied on other themes that they want to promote that are ''new'' ( look at the quality of the figures for the Lego movies and overall detail: dual molds and prints everywhere. Lego movie sets won't be remade and they want to sell them, they of course will give them the high quality treatment. Let's save money and opportunities later. Now let's look at Star Wars; enormous remake potential for almost every sets and is really popular right now. You will have a harder time to market a remake of a new set if there's nothing to improve on the mini-figure.. One of the best example in recent memory was the C3-PO polybag from TFA. Side prints on arms and legs. Lego couldn't even bother including those in the 500$ Death Star or the 800$ Falcon. I hate it but it's a smart tactic from a marketting standpoint.

Alexastor Posted October 22, 2017 I think it's technically accurate in terms of details, but it looks way too white overall. It would have been absolutely perfect if it was a tan minifig with white details printed on, instead of white minifig with tan details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
