Future Star Wars Minifigs

[Cylo]

Honestly I don't know much about Rebel friend, only just learnt of it recently and that its an old internet meme. I honestly don't think TLG will make one and I'm not really interested in one either. For minifigs in general I just don't collect sequel characters, and would hope the see more legends minifigs, most notably captain fordo.

I actually don't see the appeal of a Rebel Friend minifigure honestly. Its just a boring recolor of a Rebel Fleet Trooper from a videogame someone made an internet meme out of.

From what I've seen the appeal is Semi-ironic and Semi-serious as the ironic side is attaching all this love and admiration to a minor character and people thus want the figure in the same vein as something like that Bonzai Buddy plush and the other side is that the game he's from was big when it came out, if you were ten when the game first came out you'd be 23 now and as one of the first characters unlocked in the game he is seriously nostalgic and they'd like a physical representation of him.

I could very well see him in say a new Rebel fleet trooper battle pack as it seems LEGO's now allergic to giving 4 of the same figure in battle packs along with 2 normal fleet troopers and a Captain (akin to Captain Antilles)

Or if the rumours of the new LEGO star wars game being an updated version of the complete Saga I could see him being the pre order figure

Is that middle chap Rebel Friend? Excuse the other helmets. They were produced before Lego ever did them.

There is still a lack of alien minifigures. Some that have never been made, some not for a long tume. I suppose it must not be in TLG's interests to make these when they can make more profit from large grey ships and walkers but it would be nice...

Snaggletooth, Walrus Man, Klaatu, Barada, Nikto (these probably all have some other ret-conned) names).

Kit-Fisto, Saesee-Tiin etc  haven't been seen for ages...

There is a Nikto guard in set 75024, from the Clone Wars. I'd be interested in seeing a minifigure representation of the whole Separatist council, which included a Skakoan (Wat Tambor), an Aqualish (Po Nudo), San Hill (Muun), a Quarren (Senator Tikkes) among others. I think the Quarren alien is the most needed that we haven't gotten yet.

I would just love to see some more episode 2 clones. We've had the generic phase 1 clone in the recent jedi battlepack, but the last clone captain, commander, lieutenant etc were a few years ago now and getting them on the secondary market is ridiculously difficult and expensive. With the Clone Wars coming back later this year though I doubt phase 1 clones will see anymore love until at least 2021.

[wesker]

I agree more aliens would be great. I think each of the films still have plenty of potential for interesting new characters.
 

ORIGINAL TRILOGY:

Ponda Baba (Walrus Man): Ideally should be included alongside Dr. Evazan in the next Cantina release as they're the two biggest characters from the scene that haven't been done yet.

Snaggletooth and Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead): Also candidates for a new Cantina set. The Ithorian Jedi Knight is currently a decent stand-in for Nadon but a proper minifigure of the character would be even better. Their inclusion in the original Kenner line puts them above the other Cantina backgrounders for me - but Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazan should still be prioritized first.

Garindan (Imperial Spy): Not a Cantina patron but still a prominent Mos Eisley character. Luke's Landspeeder would be the ideal set to include him in.

Nikto, Klaatu and Barada: Could easily fill the spots previously occupied by Kithaba and the two Weequay guards in the next Sail Barge/Desert Skiff release.

Tessek (Squid Head) and Saelt Marae (Yak Face): Could take the place of Ree-Yees and Max Rebo in the next Sail Barge release, or included in a new Jabba's Palace set.

Remaining Max Rebo Band: Sy Snootles and Droopy McCool are enough to complete the original pre-Special Edition line up.

Prune Face: Could come in a Home One, A-Wing or B-Wing remake.

 

PREQUEL TRILOGY:

Boss Nass, Rune Haako and TPM Nute Gunray: Could appear in any Naboo/Gungan or Trade Federation themed set.

Fode & Beed/Podracers: I'd prioritize Shmi and C-3PO first but I'd welcome more aliens from the Mos Espa Podrace scene. Mawhonic would be my first choice of the podracers since the head mold already exists on Ree-Yees. Teemto and Ben Quadinaros are two others worthy mentioning due to their prominence during the race sequence. Lego has done dual headed minifigures before with Ninjago's Fangdam/Fangtom so a similar piece for Fode & Beed shouldn't be too difficult to pull off.

Dexter Jettster: Dex's Diner is really the only set that makes sense for him but luckily location playsets are a lot more common these days. Rather than use a similar piece to Pong Krell, I think having the head molded on its own would work well in conjunction with Rio Durant's torso.

Kaminoans: I still stand by that both Taun We and Lama Su should be paired together in Jango Fett's Slave I.

Pablo-Jill: Could take the place of Coleman Trebor in the next Geonosis wave. Virtually identical to Coleman Kcaj from ROTS so he essentially covers two characters in one.

Jedi Council: The remaining council members are down to Adi Gallia, Depa Billaba, Oppo Rancisis, Yaddle and Yarael Poof (plus the aforementioned Coleman Kcaj) Could come in any set ranging from Jedi Battlepacks, Clone Wars/Republic themed sets or a D2C Jedi Temple.

Wat Tambor and San Hill: I don't expect to see the whole Separatist council represented, but I'd say these are probably the two most notable members. Could show up in any Separatist, Geonosis, Utapau or Mustafar themed sets.

Tion Meddon and Utai: Any Utapau themed set.

Mas Amedda: The character I'd like to see included most in a potential Yoda/Sidious Senate Duel set, especially with Bail recently being released.

 

DISNEY ERA

Sidon Ithano, Quiggold and Pru Sweevant: Maz's Cantina is currently the most suitable option, although future media set during the ST era or original Lego content like the Yoda Chronicles/Freemaker Adventures could eventually open more possibilities for the characters. The Lego Force Awakens game did give them their own DLC afterall.

Grummgar: One of those mid tier characters for me. He's noticable enough to get a figure over the majority of Maz's castle patrons - but not quite as important as Bazine Netal, Sidon Ithano and his crew.

C'ai Threnalli/Ello Asty: No preference which one as there's not really much difference between the two characters. Could come in any Resistance (the faction not the show) themed set.

Benthic/Edrio Two-Tubes: Again no preference between which of the two. Could show up in any set tied to the Partisans or Cloud Riders - either from Solo/Rogue One or other future media appearances that may come down the line.

Nien Nunb: With any luck he'll hopefully be included in the Episode 9 sets later this year.

 

RE-RELEASES

Aurra Sing, Eeth Koth, Even Piell and Shaak Ti: The four remaining prequel characters that only exist in the Clone Wars animated style. Would be nice to get their movie counterparts.

Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin and Agen Kolar: Kit Fisto is the only one that needs the update but its been a while since the other two last made an appearance. All three can be covered in one go with a Palpatine's Arrest remake.

[Graupensuppe]

I'd love to see a Clone Trooper minifigure wearing those red (or blue) training fatigues seen in Episode II. Maybe as part of a Kamino Battle Pack?

News broke over the past day or so that Disney is working on a KOTOR script - this could be a brilliant source of new figures.

I'm kind of hoping this is the trilogy by the GOT creators that's coming after the three year break. Even though KOTOR would be an excellent source for new figures, there's so much new content coming that its becoming hard to cover the missing characters from existing films. Having a few years without new movies would be a good opportunity to catch up on them first before moving forward.

Anyone else think the new part colour from the Harry Potter Patronus  would work extraordinarily well on a force ghost figure? The new mixture might help with the fragility of transparent minifigures. I could definitely see this happening in the near future, especially as it seems force ghosts will be a part of Luke and Palpatine's return in the next film.

other than ghost, I hope holographic as well

Just without the glitter, otherwise it looks weird. I'm pretty sure the colour without the glitter exists already with the palpatine hologram from 75055

that's an nano figure of holographic, could be hold on hand. Here I would like to wish, it's a MF scale one, could stand beside some holographic conference :)

BTW

Don't sure you saw it or not, I knew there will be some set per new TV show [The Mandalorian], and MFs as well.

Yep, saw the leaked torso, looks very good!

[Moff Wibbles]

One thing I'd really like to see is the Sentry Droids from Star Wars: Rebels. They would work great in a set with Hondo's modified Sentinel-Class Shuttle from Season 02, or any set with Thrawn or Kallus.

 

[wesker]

I was just thinking how perfect the new Knight of Ren hood piece would be for a Garindan minifigure. The open neck area makes it much easier to accommodate his snout that the standard Jedi hood was never able to pull off. If they can come up with a snout piece similar to the breathing apparatus from the Sky Police sets then they're all set to making him a reality.

I'd like to see a chrome dome R2 and an updated chrome 3P0 (ala TC-14).

Considering the original trilogy are unfortunately still the best of the movies, I'd said this list is pretty close to they next ones I'd like to see. Perhaps the Obi, Vader and Yoda ghosts as well. Oh and I think there are still a couple x-wing pilots left to do as well. Always love an obscure pilot.

how do you guys manage your minifigs collection between what you have and don't? I find brickset not really appropriate for this... any help here for someone starting a collection would be more than appreciated :>

basebrick.com in general is a good way to keep count what you have. I am not a collector, so I cannot say from that perspective when you try to keep count also what you are still missing and not only the things you already have.

Thanks for this list. I think that this is a great update to other lists that I have seen. I would really love a Durge figure from the original clone wars show. That is about the only thing I would add. I do know that he is the top unreleased bounty hunter from polls conducted. A Darth Malak figure to go with Darth Revan would be high on most people's lists also.

Yeah I'd love to see that as well, however I don't think they will ever revisit that series. Only one set has been made from that series, unfortunately. I bought myself a custom Lego Durge minifigure off eBay, I think there are still some available.
