LEGO Star Wars 2017 Pictures and Rumors

Phantom 2.0 looks smaller than 2009 Separatist Shuttle! No claws as legs, and fin looks smaller, but it's understandable since thus version is supposed to be compatible with 2014 Ghost, right? Love the new cockpit though...

The Rebels version also has a shorter fin and lack of "legs."  The Ghost crew seemingly modified it, given that the other Separatist Shuttles we've seen in the previews look more or less the same but with much larger fins.

Plus prelim figures rarely ever have printed legs.

But there is already a Maul with printed legs. If they were reusing the design, wouldn't they just use that version in the prelims?

Where you guys keep seeing those pictures??

Never mind saw them on reddit.

I don't see them on reddit.

Well it's like how on the Tie Advanced and A Wing set the new Darth Vader even on the final box art didn't show leg prints despite the figure in the set having them, as well as the previous three Vader figures.

LEGO page on Reddit, then select "new".

Can't wait for the second part of images!

[Forresto]

By the way everyone, save the pictures to your computer now. They may not be up later.

Fair point. Thanks!

The new Phantom looks good. Has a much sleeker look than the original.

I like the scale of Yoda's Interceptor. Was a bit worried it was going to end up being oversized. But I'm not sure it captures the sphere shape of the cockpit well. And it definitely needed another minifigure besides Yoda and R2.

I'm probably one of the few that likes the Duel on Naboo set. Despite its small scale it does a good enough job at recreating the scene and I'm glad we're getting a complete pit unlike the half-platform Carbon Chamber from last year. But again - HUGE disapointment if Obi-Wan actually comes with the hood in the final product. I'm hoping he only has it because this is a preliminary image, because its ridiculous that he still can't get a proper hairpiece after 18 years when every other main character in the line has gotten one.

Just saw them, the Phantom set looks good.  I'll definitely get that.

Don't quote me on this, but the pilot of the phantom appears to have a helmet.

That may be Kanan with his faceplate.

[Aethersprite]

Yoda's JSF isn't as huge as I expected it to be; that's great!

Also the Phantom 2.0 looks like it might have some room at the back for an interior, here's hoping that that's the case!

EDIT: Looking into the cockpit of the Phantom, it seems that blind Kanan has a new helmet mold! Hurray!

A Force Priestess would have been a great addition to Yoda's Starfighter.  It is a bit oversized, but I think it's about as small as they could feasibly make it.

I would love another minifig, but the past few Eta-2 JSF's have come with only 2 minifigs. Yoda's JSF is about the same size as an Eta-2, so I doubt that it'll come with a third figure.

EDIT: I also noticed that the Phantom has the spider-legs landing gear of the original Separatist shuttle, just folded front and back. That's cute!

I'll transfer them over to Reddit in a sec.. more is coming 

'more' as in: other 2017 sets? #letitbetrue

[Darth Shadowthrone]

These sets look great but I sort of feel this wave is going to be a fair bit smaller than some of the previous ones judging by what we've heard of so far. Two battlepacks, two rogue sets, these 3 £20 sets and a skiff seems slightly underwhelming. Here's hoping there's still exclusives out there still unrevealed (they usually get leaked later). 

Still miffed about the two missing battlepacks though

Just noticed blind Kanan's minifigure in Phantoms cockpit: his visor is molded and not printed!? Wow, kudos Lego!!!

I'm sure he can see through the force or whatever, but it's funny how they have a blind guy driving the Phantom. 

The Phantom does look really good, I love the windshield piece they used. Duel of the Fates looks okay (although I really hope Obi-Wan includes hair). Yoda's starfighter's a bit of a letdown though... the cockpit area just looks really bad. Hopefully the final set looks better.

I mean he's like a Daredevil now right? Still kinda ridiculous to show him piloting the ship. I'll have to use Hera minifigure from microfighter as a pilot as she makes more sense. But the set looks like the best of 3 we've seen so far.

[RetroInferno]

I think they will change some of the mini-figs there, Maul has his really out dated face.

Anything goes build wise if I can get those 3 figs for 30 bucks, that's alone what they ask for Quin-Gon on Bricklink...

 

The good part is that's only part 1 :)

 

Thanks for busting your megablocks off on these leaks CM4, great job as always!

I mean it's outer space, it's not like he's really likely to hit anything.  And he can see through the force anyway, really that's the best way to pilot a ship.  Your eyes aren't as helpful as you think when piloting a starship, it's mostly about situational awareness.

One exclusive wasn't seen yet, only Lego milk saw it , I sincerely hope it's RO related though. ( We need Mikkelsen and Whiteaker!!! ) Set 75179 was rumored to include Lando but I think we're gonna get Whiteaker instead.

While I agree with you that we need Saw Gurerra minifigure, I'm not so sure about Galen Erso, since we don't know how big is his role in the movie. He can have 5mins of screen time or 2hours, so it depends on how important his character is in the movies.

[RetroInferno]

Not like Lor San Tekka? Hahahaha

I wouldn't be so sure he's excluded.
