Makes me wonder when the BTA-NR2 Y-wing first appears. I don't know if that's been formally established in canon yet.

I didn't realize 75443-75461 were also 2026 sets. That throws my prediction out the window. I also forgot about the Advent Calendar and October UCS.

@Mandalorianknight this is a lot of predictions. By my calculations, there are 7-9 unknown 2026 sets. They are 75438-75439, 75442, 75444-75447, and 75450-75451 75438 and 75439 are rumored to be a Yoda bust and a Vader bust, so that covers the 18+ display market 75450 and 75451 are two adjacent numbers. This might be miscellaneous cloneslop. Perhaps 75442 is our TIE Avenger? I think 75444-75447 will be our Mandalorian and Grogu wave. Not sure if there are enough set numbers to also see Ahsoka sets in the mix

Pryde seemed to have some contact in Shadows of the Sith, at least with the dark side cultists on Exogal.

Fun fact, C'ai Thenalli is basically a modern equivalent in the Sequel trilogy. He survived Starkiller Base, D'qar, Crait, and Exogal. Where is my C'ai Thenalli love?

The odds of these sets being made are zero, but I've been theorizing some comic book sets. I have a whole list of sets based on Crimson Reign, but I'll start smaller with the Battle of Jaaku comic: B-wing ($60) Rynn Zenat (pilot), Ubrik Adelhard, Kith Alaytia Lady Luck ($80) Lando Calrissian, Leia Organa, Calder Behrens, Lan-Drus Ragged Claw ($120) Zeva Bliss, Kranor, Tomasso, Jarek Yeager, Therisa Alern Rynn Zenat's ship ($100) Rynn Zenat (jacket), Luke Skywalker, Ubrik Adelhard (disheveled), Bragh, Reyna Oskure Ambush on Pillio ($20) Small tree build. Luke Skywalker, Yuan Howzell, 2x Acolytes of the Beyond

Something still feels fishy. We know the "Smart" X-wing is about $90. That's a $40 markup from the previous version, presumably to account for the smart features. So why is the TIE Advanced a relatively reasonable $60? Especially if it accommodates two smart features? I'm wondering if the X-wing will include some significant side build or a second ship. Do we know the cost and set numbers of the other "smart" sets?

The Hounds Tooth is certainly the best candidate since it's had a television appearance. The other ships have only had canon appearances in comics. I'd love this. I know the show wasn't well-received, but it's a shame we never got a set with the flagship vehicles.

It's obviously a YV-666 light freighter. Finally getting Bossk and the Hound's Tooth. Heck, throw in the whole Krayt crew

With the rumors of a Mandalorian vs. Clone battle pack, I'd love to get some additional Siege of Mandalore content. A red Kom'rk transport would be perfect. That would give us an opportunity for a Rook Kast, Prime Minister Almec, or Ursa Wren figure. The new Slave I has also made me interested in Boba Fett's Clone Wars Appearances. I'm imagining some sets based on the Sabotage of the Endurance or the Mission to Vanqor. Mace Windu's Jedi Starfighter ($50.00) Includes Mace Windu, R8-B7 Aurra Sing with Speeder Bike, Boba Fett with Green poncho. R2-D2 vs Gundark ($20.00) Includes Buildable Gundark, R2-D2, Anakin Skywalker I also would love to get a Minifigures of Boba Fett later in his career, but before he's wearing his Mandalorian Armor. Hound's Tooth ($90) Obviously scaled down, but could be to scale with the new small Slave I. Includes Bossk, Dengar (clone wars outfit) Boba Fett (Medium Legs in Krayt claw outfit), Latts Razzi, and C-21 Highsinger,

The Phantom Menace is really the odd duck of the franchise. The invasion of Naboo is pretty low stakes in the grand scheme of galactic conflicts. It's also separated from Attack of the Clones by about a decade in-universe. There is not a lot of lore that happens between the two movies. *Phantom Menace* is almost a self-contained story disconnected from the rest of the saga. Personally, I'd love some Naboo Security guard sets. Outside of the obvious Naboo Starfighter, Flash Speeders or Gian Speeders could make good sets. They'd fit in a somewhat mid pricerange and their bright colors would help them pop on the shelf. Lego has shown a willingness to make more obscure vehicles if they're cool enough or have good playability. Of course, if we get Naboo security vehicles, they should also have something to fight (because they're otherwise be out-of-place with other sets). Trade Federation Troop Carriers, Landing Ships, MTTs, Vulture Droids, AATs, or a Neimoidian Shuttle would all be welcome. These ships would necessitate figures more interesting than basic Battle droids. Not sure how this Boss Ness conversation came up.

Are we sure it's Cobb Vanth's helmet? Maybe it's still Boba Fett and is based on his appearance during the Battle of Tython. (Before he adds fresh paint to the armor)

Wow, we're really off topic tonight So... Star Wars Celebration?

A box image of the U-wing is out. The artwork looks great! I know some people think the proportions are wrong and it looks small but I'm really excited for this set. The angle on the box looks much more attractive.

That's what's really throwing me. It's crazy to imagine there being no star wars sets in the second half of the year. 2024 had a pretty robust June-July wave. We also got Jabba Sail Barge and the Imperial Dropship vs. Rebel Scout Speeder in October. I have the utmost confidence we'll see the Mandalorian and Grogu in 2026. It's basically a continuation of the TV show so all the production, cast, and crew is already built-in. We've also seen footage and I wouldn't be shocked if a trailer is released at celebration in May. I also am relatively optimistic about Shawn Levy's movie, James Mangold's Dawn of the Jedi, Dave Filoni's crossover movie, and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's Rey/New Jedi Order movie. These all have directors, writers, and some cast. We've gotten recent updates on all four of these films so they seem to be in active production.
