It's hard to tell from the images but it looks like an Imperial officer or pilot in black will be included in the 75163 MicroFighter and an Imperial officer or technician in light grey will be included in the 75172 vehicle.

I was looking at the pictures of 75157: Death Star and was reminded how much I dislike the design for Darth Vader's TIE Fighter in this set. Now I know this may not be a popular opinion on this forum... But I quite like the Star Wars MicroFighters and think that it would have been fine had they just made Darth Vader's TIE into something along the lines of 75031: TIE Interceptor or 75128: TIE Advanced Prototype.

It's interesting to see that the Y-Wing build looks to be the same as the one from the LEGO Star Wars: Build Your Own Adventure book, except with flick fire missiles...

Added Imperial Stormtrooper from 75055/75159 (see above).

Added Death Star Trooper from 75159 (see above).

Good catch!

Unfortunately, no. I was thinking of doing the new Deathstar Trooper torso and head from 75159. But I would probably do that some time in the next week.. Was there anything in particular you were looking for? In what way do you end up using them?

I know the feeling... I created the new decorations for rendering in POV-Ray just to scratch an itch: You can download them in the LIBRARY: Star Wars Imperial Officers Decals / Stickers / Decorations topic.

I've put together some decals / stickers / decorations for the most recent Star Wars Imperial Officers. I hope they come in handy for someone out there. Clicking on each of the smaller images below should open the larger versions. Admiral Yularen (from 5002947: Admiral Yularen) POV-Ray render: Face, Front Torso, Rear Torso Decorations: Death Star Trooper (from 75159: Death Star) POV-Ray render: Face, Front Torso, Rear Torso decorations: Director Krennic (from 75156: Krennic's Imperial Shuttle) POV-Ray render: Face, Front Torso, Rear Torso Decorations: Generic Imperial Officer (from 75055: Imperial Star Destroyer) POV-Ray render: Face, Front Torso, Rear Torso Decorations: Grand Moff Tarkin (from 75159: Death Star) POV-Ray render: Face, Front Torso, Rear Torso Decorations: Imperial Army Officer (from 75159: Death Star) POV-Ray render: Face, Front Torso, Rear Torso Decorations: Stormtrooper Officer (from 75159: Death Star) POV-Ray render: Face, Front Torso, Rear Torso Decorations: Imperial Stormtrooper (from 75055: Imperial Star Destroyer, 75159: Death Star) POV-Ray Render: Front Torso, Rear Torso Decorations: The Stormtrooper decorations for the helmet are not complete. I will update this post if I end up adding them. ...and here are the high-res render and decoration albums for the Officers and the high-res render and decoration albums for the Imperial Stormtroooper. Enjoy!

I was told that it was a licensed exclusive part when I tried to order one directly through LEGO.

I made 75154 - Tie Striker in LDD if anyone's interested. Here's the LXF file. Much of it was pieced together based on the high resolution images posted some time ago. But the video posted by Ookami helped fill in the details.

I love that they included him and the other naval officer. But the price of this set is just... disappointing.

I'm usually okay with a lot of LEGO's decisions. But I totally agree with you on this one. They can have printing on the side of his legs in a polybag but not in one of their most expensive sets? That's just ridiculous. And as many others have said: why the lack of dual molded legs in the Star Wars sets? Is it that the manufacturing plants for big sets (non polybag or CMF lines) aren't capable of shifting over to dual molded parts as quickly?

I was wondering if we'll see any more imperial officers or crew members wearing this hat in dark stone grey: We've seen it in sand yellow in 75082: TIE Advanced Prototype and 75106: Imperial Assault Carrier; in bright blue in 75061: Slave I and the upcoming 75146: Star Wars Advent Calendar; and in black in 75134: Galactic Empire Battle Pack and the upcoming 75159: The Death Star. But we've only seen it in dark stone grey as originally released in 75055: Imperial Star Destroyer. Do we think there will be more dark stone grey officers released in 2017 for Rogue One since we see several in the trailer? On another note, I ordered two Imperial Officers from Bricklink and noticed that the printing on them isn't as clear as on my Imperial Crew minifigure from 75055: Imperial Star Destroyer. Is that normal? I tried to take a picture with my phone to post but the image was not clear enough to show the difference.

Wow! This is amazing! Excellent work.

Actually, it looks like it may be this officer on the right:

In the hi-res picture you can clearly see it's not an Imperial Technician uniform. It looks like this person's lighter colored uniform but with a different rank insignia and a black cap:

Actually, I think it's this: http://brickset.com/parts/4610374

Try reloading this page. CM4Sci posted most of the images to this thread.

One odd thing I've noticed is that the non-box picture for 75155 - Rebel U-Wing Fighter shows a rebel soldier not shown as included on the box and not shown as included on the previously leaked Minifigure image. It looks like he belongs to 75154 - TIE Striker and actually shows in those images.

New Rogue One set images out there (including boxes) of the five sets already previously leaked. I won't share any direct links but they were up at http://starwarscollector.de/. I think they look great!

This set looks amazing, although I wonder about the odd connections between the round wall elements, like this: The real castle doesn't look this "broken up". Also, I'm hoping TLG has another round of Double VIP in October... and that the set won't be sold out at that point.

True. Wasn't the Wookie Gunship (http://brickset.com/sets/75084-1) only in one episode for a few seconds?

Do you mean in the movie or the LEGO set? It's blue in the LEGO set because parts were blue in the movie: http://www.starwarspost.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/EP7-30985-1377-1378-04_0.jpg While it wasn't AS blue in the movie, I think it's though to match things exactly. It's blue in the movie for any number of reasons but the best one is because the designers wanted it that way. Who knows why they chose it that way.
