The attachments are usually placed between the head and the body, making the minifig bigger. In find that in many cases, it makes the figure look worse. Thus I'd like to have a way to place them here:

I'm under the impression that TLG has not yet fully comprehended the changes that came with Disney+: All animated series are permanently available, and I think the younger the audience is, the more likely it is that there first contact with Star Wars will be TCW.# In my opinion, for TLG, it no longer makes sense to distinguish between the "PT" and "TW series". Rather, they should be treated the same as sets from the "prequel time". I further think that for TLG, it doesn't make sense to marginalize PT. However, that's what's currently happening: We see a lot of stormtroopers, Tusken, Javas, and so on. But we hardly see clones, Geonosians, Twi'Lek etc. I hope that the balance of the force will be restored ^^ Minifigs I want: Droid Commander with yellow (not orange!) printings. Peppi Bow Numa Boil, Waxer 99 King Katuunko Cham Syndulla Blurg Plus, I' d like that attachements to storm- and clone troopers are not attached to the neck, but rather to the under side of the head. The helmets of stormtroopers need to be downsized ^^ The printed visors of ARF- and the Kashyyyk Trooper (the scout guy) need to be changed. Sets: The Crucible (Prof. Huyang, Ahsoka Tano, Ganodi, Byph, Zatt, Gungi, Hondo Ohnaka) Venator Class Star Destroyer (Cmd. Rex, Jesse, Ahsoka Tano with grey robe, 332nd Company Clone Trooper, Phase II Trooper (plain), R7-A7, CH-33P, RG-G1) Clone Turbo Tank (Plo Koon /w grey robe, Cmd. Wolffe, 2x 104th Battalion Troopers, all based on TCW S6E10) or AT-RT and wreck of Master Sipho-Dyas’ shuttle (Plo Koon /w grey robe, Cmd. Wolffe, 104th Battalion Troopers, all based on TCW S6E10). Both sets could be combined, and/or further minifigs from a different scene could be added. Medizine Room (Shaak Ti, Nala Se, Tup, Fives) "The capture of Krell" (jungle or prison): Gen. Krell, Echo, Kix, Dogma, Waxer Trident-class assault ship: 2x Aqua droid, Cmdr. Blitz, Cmdr. Havoc, 99

Whether or not that'll be the case has already be determined, so the odds are either 0 or 1.

"The Bad Batch" launches on May 4th 2021.

The point is that it's not about spoiler tags. The point is that the debate of shows and of LEGO sets are different things that are meant to be discussed in different threads. See? Not about Lego. Wrong forum. Very simple.

In Germany, it's currently available at a discount for EUR 67,99.

Due to promobricks, this is "most likely", but not certain. The set's name is "Imperial Troop Transport". The flying transports used in Chapter 14, in the scene including the mortar trooper, are called "Imperial Transports", So I guess it could be one of those as well. Time will tell ^^

Due to promobricks, 75313 is a UCS AT-AT.

Yeah - maybe Gideon's explanation stems precisely from this experience. In that case, she should be happy that it was stolen, though ^^ The question remains why he didn't claim Mandalore for himself.

Well, first of all, I think that Grogu's destiny will be further explored in the animated "droids" film since it was hinted that it'll be about R2-D2, C-3PO and a "mysterious new hero". As for "The Mandalorian", we know that there will be three series that will have an overarching and integrating theme. We can speculate and assume that Gideon and Pershing's research is somehow related to the creation of Snoke, the Emperor, or both. We don't know, however, how this relates to Mandalore and the fates of Bo Katan, Ahsoka, Grand Admiral Thrawn, and possibly Ezra Bridger. And I think they are aiming at creating a new side story that go beyond Episode 9 and prepare the stage for films after that time.

I have some mixed feelings about the season finale. I think that they found Moff Gideon and his cruiser too easily, and that they captured Gideon too easily, and that they rushed through the cruiser and the troopers too easily. At the end, I expected Ahsoka to come, so it was a surprise to me. But still, the finale lacked too much plausibility. In chapter 13, Ahsoka should have sensed the presence of Grogu, and she should have sensed that the Mandalorian didn't pose a threat to her. But I think the makers of the series wanted them to fight so people could learn that even a light sabre cannot cut through Beskar. But for the mentioned reasons, that scene lacked plausibility as well. Other than that, I liked the season and the cameos, e. g. in chapters 15 (Richard Brake) and 16 (Luke Baines and Thomas E. Sullivan).

The helmet looks a lot like the tank drivers from Rogue One. The armor looks more like Admiral Veers' in "Empire strikes back".

What we know about Disney's current approach to Star Wars is that they are taking it slower. And we know that different series are meant to culminate in a huge event, just like the Marvel movies did. Several films and series from different time periods are currently in the making. We know about the animated "Bad Batch" series, which is set immediately after the end of the clone wars. The Bad Batch is still fighting for the empire. SInce we know that at some point the empire gets rid of its clone armies, it may be safely assumed that this is at least one of the themes of the series. So we'll probably see sets related to this series, which will probably be more clone-centered. We know about the Cassian "Andor" series, which is of course set before "Rogue One". We know about the "Obi Wan" series, which is set before "A New Hope". We know about the "Ahsoka" and "Cara Dune" series, which both are set in the same timeline as "The Mandalorian". We know about the "Rogue Squadron" movie, which is set in an unknown timeline, but features "X-Wings" of some kind and is released in December 2023. We know about the animated "Star Wars: A Droid Story" movie, which is currently developed for Disney+. And we don't know what films or other projects Taika Waititi and Rian Johnson are currently working at. Given the timelines of these series and films we know about and given that there is still more to come, I think it's save to say that we'll keep seeing remakes of iconic vehicles or places. I'm not sure how long it may take to get a remake of a desired vehicle, though. So if you think that a set is great and that you really, really want it and that you can afford it, you should probably buy it. Otherwise, skip it :)

I don't think Disney will waste this character so soon after he was brought back from the dead and made quite an impression on the audience :) He's good for marketing and the franchise, so he will live. Yes :) Together with the fighting on the juggernaut, it reminded me of Ventress in TCW s04 e20.

75295 Millennium Falcon™ Microfighter - Coming Soon on January 1, 2021 75299 Trouble on Tatooine - Coming Soon on January 1, 2021 75300 Imperial TIE Fighter - Coming Soon on January 1, 2021 75301 Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing Fighter - Coming Soon on January 1, 2021

Spin-Off series for Ahsoka and Cara Dune were officially announced. A new cinematic movie called "Rogue Squadron" was announced for 2022.

Is it really necessary to use spoiler tags all the time? It makes reading the posts pretty annoying, and the spoiler-tag is already included in the name of the thread. So people may and should be well aware of possible spoilers.

Sabre_aN made a nice picture: The lightning achieves for the plain white phase 1 and phase 2 clones what the printing means to achieve for the new 501st clone: The printed ("grey") cheek lines are perceived as "shadow" and work comparatively fine as a cue for "depth". The tubes ("bright") are perceived as significantly brighter than the area above ("light grey"). Due to the contrast in brightness, the size of the tubes is immediately perceived. The printing of the 501st clone, however, doesn't work so well. It mostly looks like printing to me. So it's nice that Lego finally made some new p2 clones again. But I clearly think they could have done easily a better job.

Well, I think that with set 75280, Lego is trying to increase the bricks per minifig (compared to other battle packs). I suppose that this has to do with the licence fees.

It's not my intention to dismiss "accuracy" :) I tried to make clear that the concrete meaning of "accuracy" is open for debate, which gives the term a rather inaccurate meaning. Plus, the fact remains that several persons experessed the view that the new clones are "too white" or "too plain". Now, you may be right to say that this is just an incidence of "nostalgia" (and, implicitly, that there is nothing to learn here for Lego), but I don't think that it's correct.

For me, it's not a "nostalgic fondness". It's about what looks good and what doesn't. Both the proportions and the structure of a lego figure are very different from an actual human body. Thus, to me, the term "more accurate product" has a very limited meaning. Besides that, the more important question is if Lego should strive for "more accuracy" even if "more accuracy" doesn't translate into "better looking". And the fact is that such an automatic mechanism of translation simply doesn't exist. edit: I'd like to elaborate since the question if the hips' color is accurate or not is besides the point. To me, the black hips always represented the space between pieces of armor. This space is now represented by some small triangles printed to the legs. To me, the black hips did a better job. The reason is that they seperated the legs from the upper body, and in doing so, they were an accurate representation of this single functional "real-world" aspect. Plus, most critics started with their observation or impression that the new troopers are "too white" or "too plain". And I think that their observation is correct, the "real" troopers in the movies or series never looked that plain and white. So the question is how reduce the total amount of white within certain boundaries, and I think that black hips or blue arms or black hips and blue arms can do the job.

Thanks! I'm undecided. What I like about the new cheeks is that the size of the breathing tubes is emphasized, something that the previous p2 troopers clearly were lacking.

I don't like the dual molded version. I don't think it looks better than the variant with "normal" blue arms. You did a great job in editing the various variants, though In my opinion, the "black hips, coloured arms" variant looks best, while either black hips or colored arms look better than plain white. I have one question: Could you edit the cheeks as well, the black line in dark grey and the dark grey area in light grey? I always wondered how it'd look.

It's interesting to see that both the clone from the PT set and the clones from the TCW sets basically have the same printing (it's the same structure). That counts for the legs and the Torso, so I guess that's how the p2 clone will look for the forseeable future.
