Star Wars needs big stories.
The Sequel Trilogy felt irrelevant in that regard, and most things since have failed to feel important in the wider scheme of things.
The Mandalorian has engaged with bigger stories but it’s still lacking.
The Clone Wars and Order 66 changed the galaxy. Luke defeating the Emperor changed the galaxy. We need the next big story.
Palpatine returning did not feel ‘big’ irrespective of whether I liked that it happened.
Anyway, back to Lego.
To be honest, I am a huge Clone Wars fan and if the rumours are true, I am looking forward to the 327th BP, V-19, UT-AT, and MTT.
These are either new releases or worthy re-releases so I don’t think the criticism is all that fair. I do appreciate personal preference, though.
I can see the frustration given the lack of OT playsets.
Logically, it makes sense if Aayla appears in this summer wave, or next January given the 327th rumours.
MTT? Unless it’s the missing set.
V-19 is promising! I do hope it’s not scaled down too much.
UT-AT screams The Justifier, but better. Imagine lots of big pieces to make it work, alongside new moulds for the figures. It will be overpriced, either way.
Exciting that I can buy a UT-AT and a CIS MTT in the same wave - sounds very fun.
Alongside rumours of a brand newClone Pilot, and I predict either a Y-Wing or V-19 I am very, very excited.
Pretty sure was plural, but don’t quote me.
Combination of Clone Trooper ‘fatigue’, criticisms of Clone Troopers, and soaring prices are probably enough to stifle any sort of excitement.
I agree, it’s super exciting. Especially after hearing the summer wave is good, with atleast 2 Jedi and some Clone Commanders.
My guess is a V-19 Torrent. It could be a Y-Wing, too.

Plo Koon’s JSF = Microfighter.
Night Trooper BP = small patrol gunship; still not clear if Enoch is in this set.
A new Clone Pilot is to be released that is not the Clone Commander as per the UCS Gunsip debacle.
Max describes the summer wave as “fans are eating good next summer”.
