Same, I know it wont happen but I hope we get an entire wave of ROTS sets for the anniversary like the amount similar to 2014 or 2005.

I think the cantina had a good amount of figures but some of the figures could've used dual molding and arm printing like the cloud city figures.

I actually got that set on clearance mostly for the range troopers, but I ended up selling it because I thought the build was pretty boring.

Agreed, it's such an obvious set to remake and we rarely get a Star Wars set that colorful.

I've never swallowed a Lego piece but I think I've consumed enough microplastics over my lifetime to make up for it

I played with mine a lot as a kid so the gray printing on the head completely wore off.

Just an idea Invisible hand D2C playset (similar to the Tantive IV) - $230 Minifigs - 7 (Count Dooku, General Grievous, Obi Wan, Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine, 2 super battle droids.) I know we just got the Midi scale version but this has always been a desired set of mine.

I mean they just released a gray slab for $55, it's a pretty memorable scene from the prequels and it would probably be fun for kids to recreate the chase.

Generally Jedi who let their emotions control them and form attachments turn to the dark side, this is quote from Yoda in TPM "Fear is the path to the dark side … fear leads to anger … anger leads to hate … hate leads to suffering." Just because one Jedi (Luke) was able to have some attachment doesn't mean the entire philosophy of the Jedi is wrong, and friendship and forgiveness are very in line with the old Jedi. My original point was that I don't think it was in character for Luke to almost kill his nephew because of fear, he's a grandmaster at that point and it's not a jedi-like thing to do. Anakin was corrupted by Palpatine. Palpatine literally groomed him and planted the dreams about Padme. What were the Jedi supposed to tell Anakin? Yeah sure give into all your emotions, go kill sand people like on Tatooine. I think the "point of those movies" is about Anakin"s fall to the dark side and the fall of democracy and the rise of the empire. While the Jedi order could've been more understanding, they don't deserve the sole blame for everything that happened, Anakin went down the wrong path and suffered for it , he's not an innocent victim.

As I said in my comment, the Jedi were arrogant and blind since they had peace for so long. I just feel like people give them a bit too much of the blame, like they're the only reason the order collapsed. The prequel Jedi were forced in a lose lose situation most of the time due to the Sith. And Anakin probably would've been fine if Qui Gon trained him as originally intended by the Jedi. The Luke part is a good point but the Jedi code wasn't really a thing at that point.

That's not "the whole point of the prequels" the prequels literally showcased what happens when Anakin gives into his attachments and leads to his turn to the dark side (quite literally proving the Jedi code correct). The fall of the jedi order was due to the Sith grand plan that was in the making for a thousand years, Palpatine is responsible for the downfall. Sure the Jedi were probably a bit arrogant and got too comfortable with having peace for so long. The emotions, attachments, and passion as you said, were the downfall of the Jedi because Anakin gave into his attachment to Padme which led to him killing mace instead of destroying the Sith. Yes Luke's philosophy was different in the EU regarding attachment and that stuff but that's not George's story. Also the Jedi order was doing just fine for a thousand years keeping the peace in the galaxy, if Palpatine and Plagueis hadn't been manipulating everything behind the scenes everything would've been fine. Perhaps it is you who watches with your eyes closed.

I disagree I don't think it's in character for Luke when he's a grandmaster to succumb to an impulse like igniting his lightsaber over his nephew thinking about murdering him, that's not jedi-like at all, especially not for an old wise grandmaster Luke. The Jedi code is There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. An old master Luke should have accomplished these feelings and be wise more like Yoda, could you imagine Yoda doing that in the prequels? To your next point, obi wan went into exile with the intention of watching over and training Luke (crucial to destroying the empire). Yoda did indeed go into exile however Yoda and Luke are different in that sense because when yoda went into exile they were legitimately defeated, Palpatine won, there was nothing left. When Luke left there was still time to stop and prevent the first order. Next, why instead of trying to make things right, would a stoic jedi hero just accept defeat and wait to die? As for his death... I don't think he should've died at all in this film, we just finally got to see him after almost 40 years and for most of the movie he just drinks green alien titty milk, He could've done force projection and not died, he just died because he was tired...? We never even got a reunion between the OT cast, granted this more JJ Abrams fault.

I'm kind of surprised to see so much love for the sequels here, I thought most people hated them. It's interesting to get a variety of opinions here.

In regards to The Last Jedi I just can't get over how they ruined Luke Skywalker. The whole idea of him just running away to live on an island for ten years while the empire rises again and instead of helping the resistance he does nothing... that is not the same Luke from the OT. while I think the whole igniting lightsaber because his nephew had a bad dream is quite silly I could've looked past it had he not gone into hiding for so long while countless people died. Then he just dies because he was thinking to hard, instead of finding a way to live on and help the resistance who obviously would've benefitted from having arguably the most powerful Jedi to ever live. While I can appreciate Rian for trying to subvert expectations and do something original, (unlike JJ who just copy and pasted ANH) I think he fails because a lack of knowledge of the source materials and perhaps a lack of respect for it. No it's not good just because it "subverted expectations", it has to make sense too. The "A song of ice and fire" books subvert expectations all the time, the difference is George RR Martin actually knows how to write characters. Anyway I haven't seen anyone defending TROS here, can we all agree it's awful?

I disagree, just off the top of my head, the scene of Anakin riding the speeder to save his mom, the Mustafar duel, Emperor Palpatine speech are all better. I don't even think TFA is the best sequel film when it comes to visuals.

putting TFA above the OT, ROTS, and R1 is an interesting choice but to each their own.

So what did this turtle man do to get banned anyway?

that's a wild take

Her big eyes right?

Glup Shitto.

I think LEGO in general was better in those years. Also the old LEGO city commercials are iconic, HEY!

they still use chrome for the lord of the rings ring, I feel like they can make exception to other small pieces too.

I just want them to bring back chrome lightsaber hilts, at least in 18+ sets.

I'd like a new B-wing but I feel like the LEGO sets of it have never been too popular.

Knowing LEGO, this will never happen. we got one playset for the 25th anniversary of TPM. Its an obscure vehicle and were already overdue for an MTT and a republic cruiser. I think were overdue for a Y-wing in that regard, next year will be 8 years since the last one.
