Future Star Wars Sets

[The Sarge]

http://en.bricker.ru/sets.html?family=Star+Wars&theme=Planets

That's what we have so far...

There are a lot I'd like to see, but I think that we are not going to see much beyond one ship per planet, or much outside the movies, unless they are great sellers. With that in mind:

Coruscant - Purple Jedi Starfighter - Mace Windu

Kamino - ARC-170 - Clone Pilot

Geonosis - Geonosian Fighter - Geonosian Pilot

Death Star II - TIE/ln - Stormtrooper

Mustafar - Dk. Green Jedi Starfighter - Dark Side Ani

Hoth - Snowspeeder - Rebel Soldier

And perhaps some big-small ship combos:

Hoth Transport - Y-wing - Rebel Pilot

Tantive IV - TIE Advanced - Captain Antillies

Medical Frigate - B-wing - Bacta Luke

Millenium Falcon - A-wing - Han Solo

Republic Cruiser - Droid Fighter - Republic Crew

Invisisble Hand - Tri-fighter - Palpatine (movie version)

Imperial Shuttle - TIE Bomber - Imperial Officer

[Pvt Lego]

Hello to all!

I would really like to see Ginivex Fanblade Starfighter of Asajj Ventress in some future Lego set. Amazing shape starfighter!

With Ventress and some Nightsisters minifigs.

Maybe soon...

[Stormer13]

Ewok Battle Pack 10.99

3 ewoks (brown) 1 ewok chief (grey) with little Glider

Wookie battle Pack 10.99

2 Ep3 wookie warriors 2 wookie marksman (chewbacca mold but with gold helmet and clips)

Plus HummBike

Droid Factory 30.00

10 Normal Battle droids 1 Droid commander 2 droideka

with some sort of shelf's to place droids on but like MTT design and little droid transport

[Blondie-Wan]

And perhaps some big-small ship combos:

Hoth Transport - Y-wing - Rebel Pilot

Tantive IV - TIE Advanced - Captain Antillies

Medical Frigate - B-wing - Bacta Luke

Millenium Falcon - A-wing - Han Solo

Republic Cruiser - Droid Fighter - Republic Crew

Invisisble Hand - Tri-fighter - Palpatine (movie version)

Imperial Shuttle - TIE Bomber - Imperial Officer

Are you proposing a new line of sets, similar to the Planets line but with small models of ships packed inside larger ones, or that future Planets sets each come with two vehicles instead of one (and if so, what planets are supposed to come with each of these)?

[The Sarge]

I suppose a new line closely based on the planets line.

[Koptokaff]

I would like to see:

Sullust with Nien Nunb with his ship The Sublight Queen

Kinyen with Aks Moe and Gran spaceship

- i am missing some alien-type minifig´s. There are so many aliens in the Star Wars universe, and we have seen so few in LEGO.

Here's a few with what I think would go down well.

Coruscant with Zam Wessel's Speeder and Zam Wessel

or

Coruscant with Jedi Speeder and Anakin Skywalker/Obi-Wan Kenobi

Alderaan with Tantive IV and Bail Organan

Christophsis with a Droid Walker or Jedi ship

Dagobah with Yoda and Jedi Starfighter (Considering he has one)

Endor with Imperial Shuttle and Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker from Episode IV

Felucia with AT-TE walker and Aayla Secura

Geonosis with Geonosian Starfighter with Geonosion Pilot

or

Geonosis with Count Dooku's Solar Sailer and Count Dooku

Hoth with Millennium Falcon and Han Solo

Kamino with Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter and Obi-Wan

or

Kamino with the Slave I and Jango Fett

Kashyyyk with Escape Pod and Yoda

or

Kashyyyk with Wookiee Ship and Tarful

Mustafar with Anakin's Starfighter and Anakin

Mygeeto with a Clone Ship and Ki-Adi Mundi (A Non-Clone Wars Version)

Utapau with General Grievous's Starfighter and General Grievous

[StoutFiles]

Dagobah with Yoda and Jedi Starfighter (Considering he has one)

The only two ships associated with Dagobah are Luke's X-wing and an E3-standard starship lifeboat that Yoda used to get to Dagobah. Since the Yavin-4 set will have the X-wing, they should make a mini E3 for a Dagobah set.

Then again, they gave the Death Star a Tie Interceptor so they have no regards for continuity.

Eh, I wouldn't say that. Both Death Stars are massive Imperial constructions, and it makes sense to include an Imperial fighter. I know, they're putting a fighter seen only in proximity to DSII with a "planet" DSI, but given how the "planets" work only the first Death Star is likely to be made (since the DSII is missing huge chunks), and is probably representing both of them together as an overall Death Star concept. Including any kind of TIE with a Death Star isn't the same as, say, putting a Sandcrawler with Bespin, for example.

Sullust with Nien Nunb with his ship The Sublight Queen

Dagobah with Yoda and Jedi Starfighter (Considering he has one)

I doubt that The LEGO Group will include ships we haven't actually seen. Technically, all Jedi use Jedi starfighters, but Yoda was never seen using his.

Including any kind of TIE with a Death Star isn't the same as, say, putting a Sandcrawler with Bespin, for example.

Well, they are both related to mining...

Choices from the films and THE Clone Wars have been more or less exhausted at this point, so I'm surprised no one has mentioned these:

Ilum - H-type Nubian Yacht - Padme/Yoda/chameleon droid

Dantooine - Seismic Tank - B2/Mace Windu

Bomis Koori – Venator/ARC-170 – Dassyne/Anakin/Obi-wan

Hypori – ARC gunship – Fordo/Grievous/Ki-Adi Mundi

Bal’demnic – tri-fighter – Kon’me

Nelvaan – CR20 – Anakin/Obi-wan/Nelvaanian

Muunilinst - V-19/Nantex/Azure Angel/ Ginivex/ - clone pilot /Anakin/Asajj Ventress

[Mr Man]

Hypori – ARC gunship – Fordo/Grievous/Ki-Adi Mundi

Fordo definitely, and with a new chaingun mould .

[StoutFiles]

The TIE Interceptor didn't exist at the time the Death Star was around. I understand an Imperial ship with an Imperial base, but putting a future vehicle with a past planet just bothers me.

I hope they attempt a DSII with blacked out areas to represent the gaps. Probably won't, but I can still hope.

[Blondie-Wan]

The TIE Interceptor didn't exist at the time the Death Star was around. I understand an Imperial ship with an Imperial base, but putting a future vehicle with a past planet just bothers me.

It wasn't around that we know of from the movies, sure, but absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence, and according to a lot of EU stuff it actually was. We do know not all of the Death Star's TIEs were sent out - far from it, actually, just a tiny token force to deal with a few Rebel fighters launched in what the Imperials initially considered an act of desperation that didn't pose any threat.

That said, an ordinary TIE fighter would have been a better choice (though FWIW, turning the Interceptor into one should be a trivial modification that might not even require much in the way of additional parts). I'll just note that personally I'm ok with an Interceptor, and would have been fine with a Bomber, too; I think either of these would be more desirable than Vader and his "TIE Advanced x1," even though Vader's TIE makes more sense for inclusion with the first Death Star, simply because I'd rather have a small, inexpensive set provide a way to get more regular TIE pilots than more Darth Vaders.

I hope they attempt a DSII with blacked out areas to represent the gaps. Probably won't, but I can still hope.

That's a nice idea.

[The Legonater]

Fordo definitely, and with a new chaingun mould .

This idea has suddenly worked itself into my biggest dream for LEGO. I thank you, Mr. Man, for your contibution.

Endor- B-Wing - Nien Numb

After working so long on the above MINI, I'm interested to see what LEGO's take on it would be.

[Fallenangel]

Bah, retcons!

To be honest, though, it doesn't matter to me one way or another whether the Interceptor was around then, nor that it was included with the Death Star. Given the abundance of TIE fighters in the Star Wars universe we're bound to see one with a different planet, or even a large asteroid (though the TIE/sa would be more appropriate in that case).

[Cpt. Dan]

Mygeeto: CTT with Galactic Marine!!

Orto Plutonia: Freeco Speeder with Clone cold assault trooper!

Coruscant: J-type 327 Nubian royal starship with Queen Amidala

Ryloth: Lucrehulk-class battleship with Wat Tambor

Christophsis: Stealth Ship with stealth pilot or Admiral Yularen

Mon Calamari: Trident-class assault ship with Aqua droid

Malastare: Republic stun tank with clone pilot

Maridun: Republic frigate with Commander Bly

Mandalore: Mandalorian

Rodia: H-type Nubian yacht with Padme Amidala (CW)

Abregado: Malevolence with Grievous or Firefighting Battle Droid

Quell: Munificent frigate with Tactical Droid

Serenno: Solar Sailer with Count Dooku

Florrum: Pirate tank with Turk Falso

Wasskah: Halo with Sugi

Kashyyyk: Wookiee catamaran with Tarfful

Raxus Prime: Rogue Shadow with Galen Marek

Cato Neimoidia: ARC-170 with Ep.III clone pilot

Mustafar: Palpatine's Shuttle with Pilot

Felucia: AT-OT or AT-AP with Phase 2 clone trooper

Hoth: AT-AT with Snowtrooper or AT-AT pilot

About half of these are unlikely to happen, but they are possibilities.

There are about four of five on that list that would give me a heart attack if it was ever announced. Starting with Mygeeto and the Marines oh boy Bly and Wat Tambor would be awesome too.

Well, to be picky, if you listen to the Star Wars radio drama of ANH, Tarkin is actually very worried and only pretends to be as arrogant as he is in the movie during the attack. Vader sure sees them as a threat or else he wouldn't have bothered to get in his ship. I guess my point is that you can counteract a lot of statements with the EU since Lucas will approve just about anything, but the general consensus is that the Interceptor wasn't mass produced until after the Battle of Yavin.

I don't really care about the MINI itself; I'm just going to throw the parts in the part bin. I just want to be assured that TLG has someone on staff that realizes the Interceptor wasn't actually there. Note that this is a very small gripe and overall I'm very excited about the planet line, the MINI's and figures are just bonuses to me.

I feel it important to note that StoutFiles happens to be a film purist. In his own words:

While I'm not a fan of the PT, the six films are the only true canon. Any side stories like CW, TFU, and all the EU are, as Lucas put it, an alternate universe.

The other canons exist so that Lucasarts can roll around in money.

Someone's going to come along and show off their disregard for canonicity in a fictional universe soon, so let's move on...

[Blondie-Wan]

Well, as a matter of fact I have listened to the radio dramas (I have all three movies' adaptations, as well as the scripts for at least the first ones), so I'm acquainted with that, but I do think the point still stands, since it's abundantly clear that the Empire doesn't send out swarms of thousands upon thousands of TIEs, which I'm sure we all agree it could have done, regardless of whether we put any stock in the specific numbers of TIEs carried by the Death Star are cited by EU references or not.

But that said, if a TIE Interceptor with a Death Star is truly a concern, we can always imagine this Death Star to be the Death Star III, and TIE Interceptors were certainly around then...

I feel it important to note that StoutFiles happens to be a film purist.

Funny you should mention that; I do as well... to an extent. Sometimes, given the state of the franchise, I find myself adopting a sort of chronological purism; I accept the movies and some EU material produced by a certain time - generally my cutoff date is around 1987 (ironically about the time there began a concerted effort to corral all the EU material into a cohesive body of canon and have narrative, data, etc. from one story in one medium reflected in others). I started off loving the stuff that began with West End Games' original SW RPG in '87 and the new novels and comics that Bantam and Dark Horse began doing in the early '90s - well, more Zahn's "Thrawn trilogy" than the first comics, the Dark Empire series, but I enjoyed it all. After a while, though, I found lots of authors just had... well, their own views of the universe I'd adored for so long, and they didn't always mesh well with mine. Then came George Lucas' own prequels, the movies I'd waited literally over half my life for, and, well... you know.

These days, when I think about Star Wars and representations of it in LEGO, I nearly always focus on not just the OT era, but depictions of it in the real-world era in which it arose. Believe it or not, when I was originally writing the response to StoutFiles, I actually originally had something along the lines of "I can't believe I'm citing EU to support this, but...," since it's really not my preferred way to go, either (at least for the more recent stuff supporting the idea of TIE Interceptors having been in existence sometime around 0 ABY). It's the same reason I wrote "Vader and his 'TIE Advanced x1,'" with "TIE Advanced x1" in quotes like that, since I grew up with it simply being Darth Vader's TIE Fighter, and wanted to evoke a feeling of "so-called" for the official nomenclature that arose in the EU.

If pressed, given my own curious variable receptivity to canonicity of things depending upon when they arose, I personally would rather explain the set (if it truly needs explaining) by rationalizing that it's the Death Star III (as Star Tours came before the stuff I found more disenchanting) than by rationalizing that TIE Interceptors were around at the time of the Battle of Yavin even if we didn't see them, since I thought you guys would be more accepting of the latter idea, but I'm actually a little pleased to find someone here who's a little more purist than I'd originally thought. Mainly I just don't see this ship's inclusion with the Death Star as that big a deal. If nothing else, modding this into a standard TIE should be trivial, anyway, if that's what one prefers.

I don't really care about the MINI itself; I'm just going to throw the parts in the part bin. I just want to be assured that TLG has someone on staff that realizes the Interceptor wasn't actually there. Note that this is a very small gripe and overall I'm very excited about the planet line, the MINI's and figures are just bonuses to me.

Same here (well, except that the figures are also a big deal to me along with the planets themselves), and FWIW I do think TLG has plenty of people who realize it wasn't there on film at least, and they opted for it anyway because at least there's still some support for it in the "official" canon (i.e., all the EU), so since they could allow it they went with this over a "regular" TIE possibly because the Interceptor has less representation in sets (though granted, if that were their reasoning then they should have gone with the Bomber)...

*whew* And yes, I realize I just wrote a heck of a lot more about this minor issue than it really warrants, but perhaps some of it may be of interest, I hope. If nothing else, my own odd little approach to what elements of canon I tend to favor will undoubtedly inform any MOCs I choose to post here, so perhaps telling you about it in advance will help you better understand some of the choices I make in my creations... assuming I do ever get around to posting any here, anyway.

[Praiter Yed]

I think I probably share some of both Stout files and Blondie-Wan's views on 'movie purism', imho I love the films of my youth but all the new stuff, including the PT, I just view as throw-away entertainment that's just there to pass some time. In fact, I don't even care where or how any of it fits into the Star Wars cannon, it means that little to me.

With regard to the Tie Interceptor being with the Death Star, I don't see it as a problem. I'd rather have this than yet another Tie Fighter mini and as for whether they existed 0BY, it doesn't really matter. I see The Death Star being used as a generic symbol of the Imperials and as such almost any Imperial ship could be included with it.

My most wanted planet set would be Hoth - I don't care what mini comes with it, I just think 2 large white semi-spheres would come in handy for Tatooine roof tops.

[Skarkdahn]

A few sets based off the recent Umbara arc of The Clone Wars would be very interesting to see.

"Clone Battle Pack"

Minifigs: 501st trooper (x3), 501st ARF Trooper

Additional: AT-RT

"Umbaran Militia Battle Pack"

Minifigs: Umbaran Militia (x4)

Additional: Banshee, tile representing Millicreep droid

"Space Gunship"

Minifigs: Pong Krell, Anakin Skywalker, Captain Rex, Jesse, Hawk, Umbaran Militia (x2)

"Umbaran Starfighter"

Minifigs: Fives, Hardcase, Umbaran Militia

Additional: Energy fence and tall plant (?)

"Vixus"

Minifigs: Dogma, Tup, Pong Krell

Some sets representing Order 66 would be good as well, seeing as it is such a crucial scene in the Star Wars saga. I'm thinking Mygeeto, Felucia and Jedi Temple-themed sets. Great chances to get Galactic Marines (and Bacara), newer Star Corps troopers (and Bly), and Bail Organa, respectively.

[Fallenangel]

Some interesting points raised, Blondie-Wan. It seems like most 'canon debates' stem from people picking and choosing their own 'personal canon', even though that technically holds no weight (as much sense as it may make). While I suppose canonicity is important to the story, I have often found myself adopting your chronological purism as well (that's basically where 'bah, retcons!' comes from). I think I would mind less, though, if it weren't for this:

It should also be noted that Warsie factions like to use a completely made-up policy ("logical extrapolation by us") in case of conflict between Canon and non-canon "official" material. They have crafted a criteria of contradiction wherein something non-canon must be specifically contradicted by the canon in order to be considered false, and that the falsehood only exists "on that point". For example, a numeral in the non-canon must be contradicted by a different numeral in the canon, or else they claim there is no contradiction, even if the situation is something like "a handful" versus "1.7 billion". The idea is perhaps best stated by Mike Wong (where he claims it is "Lucasfilms Licensing's official position"): "The movies are true Star Wars, but the books still count as a secondary source, whenever they are not directly contradicted by the movies (and contradictions can be harder to prove than you think; what seems like an irreconcilable contradiction to you might be solved in an eyeblink by somebody else, so don't get cocky)."

Thus the length of the Executor is inflated from about 8km to a whopping 19, and the Ebon Hawk becomes smaller than it actually is while the Moldy Crow attains Atlantean proportions...

I think I probably share some of both Stout files and Blondie-Wan's views on 'movie purism', imho I love the films of my youth but all the new stuff, including the PT, I just view as throw-away entertainment that's just there to pass some time.

Well, I was right.

Don't they have white 10x10 domes?

[StoutFiles]

My most wanted planet set would be Hoth - I don't care what mini comes with it, I just think 2 large white semi-spheres would come in handy for Tatooine roof tops.

I thought the dome was printed? Is it a sticker you can remove? If not, it will probably be a swirl of blue and white making it questionable in other MOC's.

[Nightshroud99]

Well I'll be pragmatic and list the few planets I believe LEGO would probably make.

Endor: With an Ewok and mini Chicken Walker

Mustafar: With Crazed Anakin and Mini Interceptor

Hoth: With Luke and mini AT-AT

Mandalore: With Madalorian.

If some of these are already confirmed, I listed them because I didn't know.

[DarthR2-D2]

Now I personally believe LEGO will milk this for as much as its worth...

But the only sets I see (at least initially) are:

Naboo w/ Starfighter & Pilot (of course)

Tatooine w/ Podracer & Sebulba (of course)

Death Star w/ TIE & Pilot (of course)

Bespin w/ Cloud Car & Lobot (of course)

Yavin w/ X-wing & Pilot (of course)

Endor w/ AT-ST & Pilot (of course)

Coruscant w/ any possibilities

Kamino w/ Slave I OR Jedi Starfighter & Jango or Obi-Wan

Geonosis w/ Starfighter/Solar Sailer & Pilot or Dooku

Kashyyyk w/ Catamaran/Ornithopter & Wookiee

Utapau w/ many possibilities

Order 66 locations (possibly)

Mustafar w/ many possibilities

Hoth w/ AT-AT & Veers/Pilot

Dagobah w/ Escape Pod & Yoda

and thats about it (considering thats all the planets we visit in the live-action films, no repeats )
