I think I couldn't bear the thought of having Thrawn bringed back from the dead EU only to get killed in Rebels of all shows. I would be legitimately livid if he dies.

Vader wasn't shot by Han, one of his wingmen panicked and bumped into him sending his craft out of control. In the first movie Rey lost to Kylo on Takodana, resisted and pulled Kylo's mind search agaisn't him, grabbed Luke's lightsaber from Kylo's grasp then defeated him while he was extremly wounded after he tried converting her. The force pull duel in TLJ was a draw up until Holdo's ship crashed into it; we don't know how this fight would have ended otherwise. Kylo defeated a lot more of praetorian guards than Rey did, still she's the one who managed to break through her difficult situation then proceeded to save Kylo. What does Rey achieves in The Last Jedi? How about helping putting Kylo Ren into power and saving the rest of the Resistance on Crait?

I really wouldn't hype myself up for an Emperor battle of whatever, it's probably a short dream or illusion a la Darth Vader cavern on Dagobah.

Brickshow just plain stole the info from Rebelscum without even sourcing it and wording it as their own description. It's one of the many thing that makes them shady; they also resell full price sets at events with a 20% mark-up where most most the attendance are young kids, it's plain scummy. Rebelscum plainly stated that their info were anything but 100% confirmed; but I know one thing, they don't steal information and pass it as their own and they keep their source a well kept secret.

They could very well shape the universe the way they want with a TV series about a lot of subjects, the easiest one being the under ground life of Star Wars; imagine something based on people trying to make a living on Nar Shadda, he could be a thief, bounty hunter, start his own crime organisation. Maybe go a bit game of thrones like with it, be fun and creative. If they absolutly want to stick with an ''epic'' trilogy they are going to to fall with the same pattern 4,5 and 6 created. My suggestion to kick life into the universe is to really start to flesh it out with a set era, introduce new and varied characters that people will like, explain the power struggle of the main factions e.t.c. Be it far removed from the themes and characters we already know of. I know the galatic civil war is a very vast and interesting subject; in fact the PC video game TIE Fighter did a pretty flawless job of world and immersion, and what potential Star Wars has. The Marvel Star Wars comics also demonstrated that, they are very good. This new sequel trilogy they are doing is already done in my mind, I'm not interested in learning anything based on it; they failed to make me feel invested on what is going and they didnt bother to set-upthe universe in the first or second movie, the plot barely moves foward with The Last Jedi in almost a criminal way and I don't care to see the finale. In resume it may be creativly bankrupt in the current epic trilogy format, but there's so much potential in single movies and tv series it pains me to watch it dying like this. Take risks, be bold and make something fun; people connected so much with the first trilogy because the movies were good, not because it was slapped ''Star Wars'' on it. God it pains me...

Yes, it's only rumors; but don't discard anything because it seems ''too good'' After the bounty hunter battle pack everything is possible with Lego.

Rebelscum.com dropped a couple of interesting rumors concerning 75215 - 75216 and 75217; all summer wave sets, and the number listing is accurate. None of it is 100% confirmed but it's sounds interesting. V-wing star fighter; Rex, Cody, Plo Koon, a pilot and a droideka. TLJ Throne Room fighting scene: Snoke, Rey, Kylo and 2 different praetorian guards. Resistance transport: Leia, Kaydel Ko Konnix ( Carrie Fisher's daughter I think?), Nien Numb, C3-PO and a resistance soldier.

The Castle Line was the bread and butter sales wise of Lego in Europe, especially germany. It's an highly profitable theme with kids, but the 2013 Kingdoms was extremly lazy and over shadowed by themes such as the Lord of Rings sets and The Hobbit, that really didn't help. Lego currently considers Nexo Knight to be a Castle theme by all evidence; even though it's not technically the case; shoving distorted elements from the middles ages and putting them into a vehicle heavy sci-fi fantasy setting isn't Castle by a long stretch.

Star Wars is open to something entirely new? JJ is coming back for the final movie of a trilogy he had no vision for a sequel or answers, and he has to work with the ending of the last Jedi which aside from setting up that the Resistance is gonna have allies from the outer rim coming for help; has absolutly nothing to tease for the finale. In comparison; Empire sets up these things for it's sequel: Luke just learned something horrible about his father, we have to rescue Han, Vader wants to use Luke to overthrow the Emperor, Luke will train to become a Jedi. We want to see what's next. The last Jedi has: We have allies coming to help us from the outer Rim, Rey's got a few books too about the force. Final movie with JJ is gonna be kill the evil Kylo Ren and the next spherical super weapon. The set-up for a sequel really makes me feel like I couldn't care less.

Taking old cannon into account as to explain how powerfull Rey is kind of pointless though. She bested Kylo Ren in the first movie, even though we can assume Kylo had way more trainning he was also bleeding to death and heavily injuried, she can take that win. But honestly when she pulled a mind trick in the first movie it was a big no from me, then she kills several of Snoke's guards and saves Kylo Ren, then lifts 50 huge megablocks boulders when Luke could barely make a small pile of rocks with the help of Yoda. I just feel that her progression with '''''learning''''' the force is awefull so far. Honestly I'm just done with this trilogy; I have zero interest in seeing the ''finale'' or whatever it's gonna be, all the ''grey'' areas exlored and ''killing the past'' themes we saw in the last jedi are going to get axed so we may all come back to ''Kylo Ren is evil, Giant beam weapon and whatever. Disney screwed up royally hiring two directors so far working on a trilogy with polar opposite ideas; JJ soft rebooted A New Hope, then Rian throws everything the last movie builded down the shitter for the sole purpose of shifting expectations and do his own thing.

Star Wars is creativly bankrupt; Star Trek Discovery is better at beingStar Wars than anything Disney pulled up so far. They need to kick start that new trilogy far away from any of the known character and known conflicts; do something else than ''A young jedi joins a bunch of rebels to fight the evil empire with the giant super weapon'' and give it to a single writer/director that knows what he's doing.

I really like the head; the main features are really well represented. I really just wished the body was something else than the Indominus'; the legs are way to big and like basilik said the arms were microscopic; maybe it had to do with solidity, they had to do them bigger.

What has me really interested is the weird technic brick in front of the hut? I don't see anything that you can detach to connect there... Also there's definitly a small fire place in the hut, at the left of the entrance.

It's also to keep the build interesting visually and fun: I'm always happy getting some bright colors to fill up some sets even if they remain hidden in the final product; especially if you are building big grey blocks like some of the star wars sets.

Kinda weird to say but switch some the character's faces and the TIE set is a better battlepack IMO

Rian Johnson tried to warp our expectations so much it warped the movie, not in a good way. He tried doing something different, props for that, but in my opinion after wathing the movie it didn't work. I feel that everything that was done in the movie was exactly to take us by surprise, I'm not agaisn't most of what he did like Rey's parentage, Snoke being killed but the movie feels like a reaction to what people expected and I really don't like that thought process. Also the humor was completly off in most cases, and might I remember to everyone here that the movie opens with a prank call with mom jokes... I rest my case. I'm not hating on the movie, they tried to explore the grey area of the force in this one with Luke and Rey but it fell on it's face hard killing the mood by switching to canto bight and very weird humor choices. To resume the movie: lots of interesting and fun bits, but when put together it's a damn mess.

Ah, thanks for the clarifications! It's a trend for star wars movie so far, the spin off movies such as Rogue One and Solo seems to introduce the lion share of new pieces and seem more solid design wise from a subjective view than the trilogy sets, which despite a few good sets here and there did not motivated me to get them.

I think you are switching the two mini-figs: the range trooper in the battlepack clearly has an helmet plate and new mold, the visor is clearly different. The Mimban Stormtrooper that comes with the TIE has two small notches on the temple of his helmet and the mold for the eye goggles area seems also different on the high res pictures. The area around the eye goggles are a lot sharper, it has to be a new mold. Han Solo's helmet is also a new mold in the tie set; the TIE pilot has a what appears to be a new print but there are so many Lego version of the tie pilot helmet I can't be sure. So in recap: 3 new trooper's helmets including Han, 2 new alien head molds, new chewbacca head mold, 3 new hair mold (I'm not a Lego hair piece encyclopedia though, I could be wrong ), the first new star wars mold for a creature in ages; the last one was the Dewback for the 2014 cantina. This wave is awesome. Edit: Mystery of this wave though; why is the range trooper buildable figure so drastically different than the ones included in the battlepack? :O

Maybe it's just that whatever world they are stationned in has an insane amount of dirt everywhere and they get to wear those cape to shove of the dust. A lot of figs look very dirty so I assume that to be the case. IMO it looks fine.

Looking at the stormtrooper included with the new TIE it's not just a new print, looks like they are going to revamp every OT stom trooper with this new helmet mold and print design. Lego has been using the same mold for regular storm troopers since 1999 and they finally are going to change it; I can't wait for having these in my hands. Also what in heck have they done to Chewie's face? :O

The fifth figure from the left looks really strange I admit, but all figures have their final name and he aint Zuckuss, although it's clearly an alien by the look of it.

Glorious, Glorious, GLORIOUS TIE fighter. And I'll need at the very least 5-6 or those imperial battlepacks. 2 very nice kind of troopers, an officer and a navy soldier. SOLD Wow I'm hyped for a couple of sets, that feels great! Not entirely sold on the new design of vehicles though, both speeders feel very blocky, and I'm wouldnt be able to justifying getting a new falcon even this one seems very different. Crap even the mini-figs all look interesting.

Rogue One sets were reasonably priced, absolutly; except for the TIE Striker. Now I'm looking at the 2018 releases and absolutly eveything I see in there has a 5-10$ mark up from what we usually get. I will wait for the inevitable 20% mark down on amazon or wait for that DJ polybag on shop at home to buy some of them. 30$ for a small speeder and 2 figs? C'mon.... I think the best value we have here is the 40$ cantina... Edit: I nearly choked, no pun intended when I saw that vader is at 40$, at that pricing you can almost buy yourself a japanese import action figure of the thing.

Wow a glorious OT X-wing with finally a nice color scheme Looks like it's coming with 2 astro mechs and two pilots. Finally gonna be able to complete my updated rebel ship collection.

Jang reviewed the first order ''''''''AT-ST''''''''''''''', and the closest I remember him being that pissed off about a set has to be from like 2012 reviewing a homing spider droid that wouldn't stand straight. He really tore the set a new $#@ &?%, and honestly it fully deserves it.
