Posted January 15, 20178 yr What pilots appear in rogue one movie and which minifigs are not well done -In blue squadron Blue leader General Antoc Merrick (X Wing) Blue three Jadine gerams (X Wing) Blue four Barion raner (X Wing) Blue five Farns Monsbee (X Wing) Blue six Vangos Grek (X Wing) Blue eleven Larem joma (U Wing) Blue squadron pilot with Wes janson helmet (X Wing) - In red and gold scuadron the old red five (X Wing) Red leader (X Wing) Gold leader (Y Wing) Y wing pilot with biggs darklighter helmet from gold squadron (Y Wing) Pilot with no name or squadron What pilots we have: -U wing pilot, y wing pilot helmet from gold squadron - Another u wing pilot, it's ok (Paril ritta) . - y wing pilot, Barion raner's helmet (x wing pilot) and not the correct head/ face. In yavin 4 are a lot of rebel pilots and i can't see all the helmet designs. I wish a Garven Dreis minifig from lego this 2017 Edited February 1, 20178 yr by SPACIBA

The u-wing pilot is not identified in the visual dictionary, but you can see a photo of him in the book, here's a picture : you can see that the helmet is the same because of the yellow starbird on the black edge.

January 15, 20178 yr Gosh, LEGO bases their figures on actual characters!! They don't just randomly choose parts to make them (which I do sometimes). That's really cool to me!

That's really cool to me! I'm glad they did this too. In fact all the figures in the most recent rebel battle pack (and the anonymous 'rebel troopers' in the actual sets) are based of characters named in the visual dictionary. Pretty cool. But it then seems odd that they would mix and match the pilots helmets and faces, at least with the U-wing pilot you can put in a different face if you wanted to. What I'm surprised about though is the fact there's no Sargent Melshi (the guy Cassian was in contact with on the beach) He seems to be one of the only ones missing and he's actually named in the film!

Is Blue twelve Paril Ritta, appears in Yavin but not in Scarif, maybe in the deleted scenes. With a lot of pilots to chosse to do a minifig lego chose the ones which don't apear in the movie XD

The u-wing pilot is not identified in the visual dictionary, but you can see a photo of him in the book, here's a picture : -snip- you can see that the helmet is the same because of the yellow starbird on the black edge. This is trivial... the designers could have made the skin colour of Barion Raners accurate but they decided to use a generic white guy instead. In older sets the LEGO Star Wars pilots were based on pilots from the movie so I don't understand the decision made by the designers here. I also have the same question for the U-Wing pilot --why of all the pilots to choose from the designers had to choose a nameless pilot... so that they can make it more generic? What for?
January 24, 20178 yr Author I have made this MOD pilots from RO with other helmets and faces of rebel minifigs, I don't have the two new blue pilots who are Barion raner and Paril Ritta. Blue leader General Antoc Merrick with Dak's helmet and Major Derlin face. Blue three Jadine gerams with Dutch's helmet and Toryn farr sad face. Blue five Farns Monsbe with Wedge's helmet and Theron nett face, the helmet design is not the same but its grey. Blue six Vangos Grek with Jek porkins helmet Blue seven (not sure) with Wes Janson's helmet and hoth officer face. Old red five with Luke's helmet Dutch Vander gold leader A pilot with the new helmet in the gold squadron.
January 27, 20178 yr I did that one too! It's a shame that there isn't a bigger variety of non-white faces at the moment, or even female ones.
January 31, 20178 yr Author There are all blue squadron pilots minifigure ever made: Blue twelve Paril ritta, blue five Ten numb, "U-wing pilot" and blue four Barion raner (mod with correct face). The new helmets looks so cool with more details and colors and Paril rita is the best rebel pilot minifig ever made. Edited January 31, 20178 yr by SPACIBA
