Future Star Wars Sets

[Amset-Rah]

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but we definitely need an update on the Mos Eisley Cantina. Given that other old sets have been redone with more accuracy (Jabba's Palace and Sail Barge, the desert skiff, etc.), I think the Cantina is definitely due. Just think of the potential, with some intergalactic bar flies (Like the thug that talked to Luke when he first came in before meeting Han), of course Han and Greedo would have to be in the set, and some other bits and bobs.

Same goes for Dagobah. I know the old Dagobah was an excuse to get another X-Wing with some vines, Yoda and his hut thrown in as afterthoughts, but I think an update would be brilliant, given that both Luke and Yoda have been given slight redesigns since then. Maybe a larger hut along the lines of Hagrid's hut from Harry Potter. Throw in some play features that have Luke "practice" the force and you have a killer set. You don't even have to throw in the X-Wing (It would be better without TBH) to make it complete.

Just my 2 cents. I know I'm not a regular here, but I've always thought these two scenes were in dire need of a revamp.

Hi amest-rah, some good ideas I like the mos-elsa one. TLG should do it the same way they did jabbas palace and the rancor pit. Have two sets that can attach together, lukes landspeeder and a dew back, and mos elsa.

Exactly, they've already done a few landspeeders with Luke and Obi-Wan, but the only Cantina they did was a rinky dink little watering hole in an older set (With an early instance of arm printing on Greedo), more or less thrown in while the Dewback and speeder took center stage.

[narbilu]

I agree Amset-Rah... What do we all think of a remake of the Sandcrawler and set containing Tusken Raiders.

And for all you army builders... a new Gungan battle pack, with a couple of Kaduu creatures.

[MaceWindu]

If the next UCS set should be realised after Ewok Village discontinuing, it'll be in May or June?

[Tariq j]

Set Name: Kamino cloning centre

Minifigures: Phrase II clones (x4), Female kaminioan, male kaminioan, jango

Description: a round building with cloning cells built into the Walls, a central coloum with jango inside. A pathway from the door will connect to the cenral coloum.

I'd love a new snow speeder in the region of £40 - £50

[Brickwright]

A lot of the non-Jabba Tatooine stuff has been lacking. Tusken Raiders, Jawas, and Greedo were all very memorable from the first film, and each of them have only appeared in one set each, way back in 2002, 2005, and 2003, respectively. It would be great to see Lego revisit this area which feels overlooked. The biggest draw of Mos Eisley would be the minifigs, and we all know that Lego has definitely ratcheted up the quality several notches in this area. I think there's basically two ways Lego could excel with Mos Eisley/the Cantina.

1. Like The Jabba's Palace/Sail Barge/Rancor Pit/Desert Skiff (as Tariq J suggested) with multiple sets.

Pros

- The "Jabba series" had lots of great minor characters. The colorful background cast is part of Mos Eisley's charm. Multiple sets would be the best way to include the more unlikely characters.

- There would be more versatility to individual parts. Some may not be want a huge playset, but they may want a smaller one, a vehicle based set, or a battlepack.

Cons

- It seems like it is tricky to split up main characters across multiple sets. The Jabba series avoided this, but with a few repeats. It would be harder here with the fewer key characters present.

- Similarly, each Jabba set has some sort of internal action that sells them individually, and it would be harder to parcel out Mos Eisley in a similar way.

2. Like the upcoming Ewok Village. One giant set centered around the cantina.

Pros

- Method 1 could potentially have the same pitfalls the old 2003 set had by being made up of smaller sets. A larger set would more likely avoid those problems.

- The Ewok village proved that Lego is willing and able to create huge sets that address lots of material. I wouldn't have thought a set like that was possible, but I hope this trend continues.

Cons

- While the Ewok Village does a lot, there is a limit to what one set can include. Some stuff might get left out, and the number of minifigs would ultimately be less than a combo of multiple sets.

- I know I'm not the only one that dislikes when key characters are exclusive to very expensive sets. This approach would obviously make these minfigs more costly to obtain.

Speaking of MaceWindu's comment, what do we think the next UCS might be?

I wouldn't mind a Gungan battle pack, but what I really want though is a Naboo forces one. The Naboo Soldier hasn't been released since 2000 and is long overdue for an upgrade. We also haven't gotten a Naboo Palace Guard yet. Maybe throw in a Naboo Security Officer as well using Captain Panaka's uniform.

I kind of feel 2015 is our last chance for it to happen since Rebels, Sequel Trilogy, the spin offs and the OT are going to be the focus in the coming years.

[Tariq j]

I have a few ideas on a UCS set:

Ventator class republic attack cruiser

Y-wing

Malevolence

Invisible Hand

Calamari star cruiser

Jedi Temple

Also sorry to be off-topic but does anyone like

figures being included in UCS? We get some

good ones such as dengar, IG-88, Admiral piett

etc. But on the super destroyer if you wanted tohave vader adressing them like in the movie

you had to have the roof of while doing so.

EDIT: I think another theme we've slightly missed out on is Courcant, as Brickwright said above with the Tatooine theme there are two ways of doing it my thoughts would be the way they did jabbas palace/barge/skiff/rancor pit. Two big sets, a medium set and a small set:

Big: Jedi Temple, yoda vs sidious area.

Medium: Obi wans starfighter and hyper ring boost

Small: Courcant speeder

Like a system scale one? Battle of Hoth 75014 has one; and it's almost the same as the previous few Hoth sets to include a snow speeder. I think TLG has done well giving us a lot of snow speeders.

[ResIpsaLoquitur]

Call me nuts, but I'm wondering what 2014's Advent Calendar will bring. (Hey, it's microscale ships and a load of minifigs.) Last year was Episode I heavy with a bit of Episode V; this year is Episode II heavy with a bit of Episode VI. So I can only imagine that next year will be Episode III with a bit of IV. So I'm hoping for a Wookiee Warrior, a Phase II Clone Trooper, a MagnaGuard, maybe an Imperial Royal Guard, and a "Santa" Greivous with red and green lightsabers. For the Episode IV guys, maybe a Jawa and a Tusken. Oh, and I assume they'll stick yet another light tan Battle Droid in there.

[Lego Spy]

If we were to get a Mos Eisley Cantina set, I think a certain band of Biths is a requirement.

Oh, as well as some Jawas too (I love those little guys! ).

For the Episode IV guys, maybe a Jawa and a Tusken.

I would buy it just for those two!

-Lego Spy

You may have guessed from this post that I'm after Jawas and Tusken Raiders.

Lots of people including me want a Canteen so here is the way TLG may approach it:

Sandcrawler and Canteen- Those are the two big sets, they will include up to ten characters each; the sandcrawler will include owen lars, C-3P0 and R2-D2 a treadwell droid an astomech droid and a gonk droid and Three jawas. The canteen will include three musicians, Greedo, han solo and a bar man. The medium sized set (similar sized to the rancor pit) will probably be a tusken rader campout featuring three tuskins, two camps and a spear rack. The small set will be Lukes landspeeder, featuring Kenobi, Luke, a sandtrooper and a Dew Back. This method is much better and convenient: No details are left out or overlooked and there's a wide range of minifigures that we can get. This method is also good because of scale issues: Now personally I quite like it when you can combind sets that are approximatly the same scale and I'm sure lots of other buyers will too. This one thing the Clone wars sets lacked in-scale, trying to combind the twilight with the venator. Anyway, all I'm saying is that I think this is a better method to use if they're going to create the Canteen or any other big sets such as cloud city in the future

Probably yes, unless they bring out the Clone wars( but that's highly unlikely).

-General Grevious' Wheel Bike Chase: General Grevious, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Commander Cody-24.99$

This one in particular seemed weird to me. Usually a set with a "hero" or "villain" vehicle will have more from the opposite side to balance it a little. Commander Cody would have been the ideal way to balance it out.

Lots of people including me want a Canteen so here is the way TLG may approach it:

Sandcrawler and Canteen- Those are the two big sets, they will include up to ten characters each; the sandcrawler will include owen lars, C-3P0 and R2-D2 a treadwell droid an astomech droid and a gonk droid and Three jawas.

Probably yes, unless they bring out the Clone wars( but that's highly unlikely).

I would agree. I think I'm mostly caught up in the spectacle of the Ewok Village, and remember really enjoying the old Cloud City set. The upcoming 2014 is mostly mid-size sets, and if that's indicative of the direction Lego wants to go, a series of sets may be more likely than a single, huge one. Plus, even if they were going to do a huge playset, it would probably have to wait until the Death Star (and maybe Ewok Village too) are out of production.

The sandcrawler wasn't something I had thought of, but it might be due for a new version. The original was sort've hit and miss for me. It would be interesting to see Lego attempt it again with a house-of-plates building style and dark brown elements. The brick-based construction of the original drove up the number of pieces (and pricepoint), and forced the model into a more straight up and down build that lacked the angles of the vehicle as it appeared in the films. The R4 head is also something that was sorely lacking the last time around, and it would be good to see Jawas in production again. All this to say, Lego has several tricks that can make it into a different (potentially better, in my opinion) set than the original.

The concept I had was of three sets:

Ben's Hut: Luke, Ben, the droids, and two sandpeople. This set would be similar in proportion to the old Cantina set, based in three parts with the hut, a landspeeder, and a bantha. Iconic scenes like Luke meeting Ben for the first time, Leia's hologram appearing to Ben (with a trans-blue 1x1 round brick representing Leia), and the reveal of the lightsaber all are represented here. It also gives an opportunity to include sandpeople as they wouldn't appear in Mos Eisley itself.

Cantina: Han, Chewie, 2 Bith, Wuher the bartender, Ponda Baba, Garindan, and Greedo. One of the biggest problems Lego might have with a cantina set is that it is a set based around a bar. In order to make it work, the set needs to focus on the action, rather than the environment to make it interesting and reasonable as a kids' toy. 3 Bith would be nice, but it might have to be knocked down to 2 so as not to monopolize the overall minifig count. Greedo and Ponda Baba allow for some sort of action to help motivate the set, as well as the presence of Garindan spying for the Empire. The build itself would probably include two (maybe three) booths and the bar itself.

Sandtrooper Battlepack: 3 orange pauldroned sandtroopers, 1 white pauldroned sandtrooper, and a dewback. There would probably be some kind of filler added (turret, E-web etc.), but of course that wouldn't be the draw for the set for any of us. Lego has released battlepacks for Hoth, Endor, and (soon) the Death Star. Sandtroopers are basically the last territory for Empire battlepacks. By having them in the battlepack, they don't infringe on the minifig counts of the other two sets, and can expand independantly by buying multiples. Because a Docking Bay 94 set is too big to be practical (and the Falcon itself would likely be out of production by the time a series like this is available), it would also help inspire and populate custom builds of this scene.
