    TFA C-3PO, easily. The assassin droid is very plain, but I do like all four figures.

    The Grand Inquisitor has to be one of the best figs of that year. He came with 3 new moulds at the time, one of them being his obscure helmet (that's dual-moulded as well), which they could easily have left out without hurting the figure design. I thought Lego was going in a new direction with detail for SW minifigs, but it has only gotten worse since. For instance, now we have major Clones in an expensive set that are under-detailed and don't come with their signature helmets.

    Shadow Stormtrooper. Though Ventress is a close second.

    That MF is clearly part of the background artwork (probably painted but it could be CG) and not made from Lego at all. It's just something to set the scene and it also shows where the yellow door on the set is supposed to lead you to.

    I think we should have a round for best minifig of 2015 next, and then go all the way to 1999. Choosing one for each year would work perfectly fine as it did with this thread and it would eliminate the need for too many specialized categories. We could then have a final round to determine the best minifig overall. We've already had 2016 so there's no need to vote for all those figs again which will happen when we go with all the other categories. That's primarily why I would prefer year-based rounds.

    It is definitely Legends. About the Fighter Tank, I really like the use of a black bucket handle as a control yoke. As if that wasn't enough for cockpit detailing, it also has one of those printed control panels above the yoke. It is a lot flatter, proportionally, to the last version (in addition to being a lot smaller of course), which I like. They nailed the look of the 'face' on this one. The repulsors are not as thick so the accessories can't be stored inside, rather clumsily on top. Stud shooters are integrated fairly well though, they look like grenade launchers. The 2008 version had the dual laser cannon on top. This one has no gunner's position or turret. In the (far) future, they could release the beam turret version, or the one with Imperial markings.

    Even if this year seems lacking in terms of sets from ANH (with only a slighty updated Landspeeder and a UCS Falcon which might be ESB themed), we have to remember it's also the 40th anniversary of SW in general. In that case, I think Lego has delivered quite well with the set selection, even if it could be a little better (especially in the minifig selection department). With the addition of the Jedi Starfighter with Booster Ring from AOTC, there is now at least one set available per major subtheme, including all 8 episodic films, Rogue One, The Clone Wars, Rebels, Legends (Republic Fighter Tank) and, whether you like it or not, their own Freemaker Adventures. I'd say that's pretty impressive because there's something for everyone, though most remakes this year are more redundant then ever. The polarising May the 4th R2 build is at least very representative for ANH and the franchise as a whole.

    https://www.amazon.de/Lego-Star-Wars-75185-Konstruktionsspiel/dp/B06W55DYCF/ref=pd_sbs_21_8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=H6P4C32HV4N8JHANA9AF There are pictures of the backs of the boxes and plenty of additional pictures for the summer sets on this site. I'm intrigued by the build of the Tracker I. It looks like the lower part of the interior features three compartments with space for lightsabers, a prison cell for Rowan with some sort of ejection feature, and some kind of ladder that appears to lead to the cockpit (but not really). The droid apparently hangs in the cockpit, behind one of the canopy windows. The second and third windows opens up to store the handcuffs and blaster like we saw at Toy Fair.
