It occurs to me that it if Mon Mothma is included in the Y-wing, it might be based on Return of the Jedi. That would be a nice opportunity to get some obscure battle of Endor pilots like Nora Wexley in Gold Squadron and Horton Salm, Gureni Telsij, and Ekelarc Yong in Gray Squadron (real Glup Shittos). I like the RoTJ Y-wing helmets so I hope they bring those back.

Would love to get some Mandalorian and Grogu Villain sets so the heroes have something to fight. Rotta Escape ($50) Include Rotta's landspeeder, Rotta, the Mandalorian, Grogu (with pram), Lord Janu Shakari Speeder ($20) includes 4x Imperial Remnant troopers with various variations Shakari Gangstar Starfighter ($65) includes Hogsbreth, Shakari Mercenary, Zeb (Brown jacket) Droid Gotra Battle Pack ($40), mid-sized Droid Mech, 4x B1 Mercenary Droids, 2x, B2 Mercenary Droids, 2x Mercenary sentry droids. (I don't know whether it makes more sense to use classic Battle droid parts or minifigures for the Mercenaries) HH-87 Starhopper ($65), Includes Mercenary droid pilot, Amani warrior, Gatori

Some TMAG sets I'd like to see are a new HH-87 Starhopper and Shakari Gangster starfighter. I don't have strong opinions about minifigures, but Janu Coin should be included somewhere. I also would like a Shakari remnant stormtrooper battle pack, potentially with the speeder they chased Mando and Zeb in. You could also make it a bigger set and include both speeders. A Droid Gotra battle pack would be great.

This just makes me feel bad for Mark Hamill.

It would be nice to get one of the police speeders too.

This is presumably 75458, releasing in June correct?

Specifically, it's Unidentified Imperial warlord 2! What do we know about this Hutt Starfighter? Is it supposedly based on the Mandalorian and Grogu?

What are at 75450 and 75451 supposed to be? I think 75451 is supposedly a $50 Maul Shadow Lord set

Everyone's favorite character, Unidentified Imperial warlord (commander), will be in the movie according to Deadline. I expect he'll be a minor character who gets dealt with within the first thirty minutes of the movie, but it does suggest the Imperial Shadow Council will play some role in the story. However, it would be nice to give the actor a more prominent part (and name) and see some new imperial Villains. In the EU, there were a lot of noteworthy warlords around this time (Kaine, Zsinj, Teradoc, Delvardus, Harrsk, and others). I'd like to learn more about each Shadow Council member's individual quirks.

I wouldn't be shocked if Ward turns out to be some sort of twist Villain. She appears to be the Mandalorian's handler and is responsible for assigning his missions. That sets her up pretty well to do some sketchy stuff. She's also getting a lot of merchandise. It might be because she's Sigourney Weaver, but it still feels like more than what you'd expect for a non-action character.

What do you reckon the set numbers will be for these sets? Also, the additional smart sets and Mandalorian and Grogu sets.

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.
