  1. Looks good - the commander's communicator/controls definitely looks much better.
  2. Considering the last Death Star set wasn't purely ANH, it wouldn't surprise me if there was something RO related in it. I don't believe it's been confirmed though.
  3. Actually, the torso print is quite accurate for most naval troopers as they have no belt boxes and a single-breasted tunic. I am quite curious about the new TIE pilot design having belt boxes though - never seen one with them so far, guess we shall see.
  4. Contrary to everyone else, I am least excited about the AT-ST. The tank will definitely be my first purchase.
  5. Well, clearly the Asogian explorers travelled through a wormhole, which not only brought them to our bit of the Milky Way but also to our present time. Therefore it all makes sense!
  6. The name is now part of Legends, but... And they will probably be re-canonised, as they are seen in TPM.
  7. Quite honestly I think the Lego version is much nicer looking. The shorter wings look far better. Black looks nicer for it than dark grey too.
  8. It hasn't been the strongest year for Lego Star Wars, but I think it's a bit much to say it's the worst year ever. The Rogue One sets look pretty good and we haven't seen the Death Star yet to judge. I agree that the Freemaker sets are frustrating, but there's only two. They haven't invested loads into it. Minifigure variety has always been an issue. Leg printing is fairly standard and our primary issue with under-detailing is lack of arm printing. Also lack of dual moulding on legs when compared to Superheroes, but that doesn't make the minifigs the weakest ever. The Resistance flight helmets and combat helmets, whilst technically 2016, are dual-moulded and are absolutely superb. The battle packs have been excellent.The Freemaker figs have been excellent. Many 2016 minifigs have excellent designs. I kind of want the new HAVw6 Juggernaut just for Quinlan Vos and Luminara Unduli. Speaking of the Juggernaut, yes its smaller but its far better built. It is substantially less flimsy. What we've seen of the Rogue One minifigs also looks very good. Whilst the summer wave has been weak the rest looks excellent.
  9. Not an entirely new minifig, but I'd love for phase I clone pilots to receive a new helmet mould.
  10. I'm very glad they haven't included the stud-shooters in the main sets (except to be part of a vehicle). I can see why they're fun for kids and they are very well made, but I don't see why Lego can't include both the stud-shooters and some normal blasters. Best of both worlds!
  11. Lego seem... relucant to change the colours of special lightsaber hilts. I don't know if they would need slightly different moulds or what to change it. They could've made the Ventress-style curved hilt in metallic silver with Ahsoka, but didn't.
  12. This is looking really, really good. I am going to have to upgrade my copy of your first version at some point.
  13. If it's only a hip update, it won't be too bad. Redesigning anything else though will be a pain, because other than hips the current design is perfect.
  14. A stormtrooper, snowtrooper and a navy trooper? Yas I am getting this. This is excellent. Wonder why they didn't give the Bespin Wing Guard a normal handblaster?
  15. There are plenty of guides about making custom decals for faces, torsos and legs but how about helmets? In particular, phase I and II clone helmets. Has anyone here done it?
  16. They have never, and will never, do packs like those for Star Wars due to licensing issues with Hasbro.
  17. I miss that too, although it's pretty much impossible to really go back to that. Revealing sets closer to their release rather than everyone knowing about them months in advance is better for hype though. Enough time to get excited, not enough time to start forgetting about them.
  18. Clones started to be phased out and 15 years into the Empire many had been retired, but some were still around even by the events of RotJ although it was a rare sight. When they got retired from active service they instead generally taught new recruits.
  19. Especially since her eyes are like human eyes and only the pupils are blue. Would definitely look better with regular eyes (as would Hera). Rather... boring interior.
  20. I don't entirely see why they needed to have a different design for them in the first place. Is it to make the design used for stormies in OT sets rarer? Sigh. On the bright side, at least no Rebels minifigs have CW-style eyes. Ugh. I'm pretty sure if they used Col. Yularen's torso people would murder them. It's not even a close representation. They will definitely have a unique print. And it will be white. It has to be. I'm presuming the gold epaulettes are just going to be little gold bits at the top though, no way to show them actually going over without some super unique part. Governor Pryce may have the same rank plaque but she only has 2 code cylinders. In the past, less code cylinders meant a higher rank within the same badge. Guess that's being reversed now, which kinda screws up how ranks are done. Sigh. Interestingly, whilst she is a planetary governor, her rank indicates she is above a moff (5 blue over 3 red and 2 gold).
  21. They're going to have Rebels-style designs though. Sigh.
  22. To be fair, not all clones were infantry. It's not really a stretch to imagine a few shuttle pilots being clones.
  23. This is a very nice modification - might need to build myself a squad of these.
  24. This is an amazing piece of work and dedication what with all those angles. I hope you do manage to make a real version (with an interior!). This is superb.
  25. This is a really wonderful solution! I am very impressed. Now I am very keen on modding my x-wings to have this too!
