Given the current state of affairs, Jabba's Throne Room is going to have to come out of nowhere if its coming out this year. Nothing left that fits it unless some of the set number/piece counts are wrong. They've changed around quite a bit since the birth of this list so anything could happen. 

If it's delayed, I personally don't see the point in releasing next year, after the fact of the 40th ROTJ and selling as well. 

However, bear with me, what if the Emperor's Throne Room has been a dud this whole time and Jabba's will take it's spot? There have been 2 of these sets in the last couple years and it always seemed a bit over the top to release it in a diorama format for the same price that it was on shelves for 2 years ago. The price and piece count would certainly make more sense for Jabba's TR. The previous 630 pc count could have been misleading since it was bound to the SSD and I always found it a bit too good to be true we'd get all of that for $70. 

All I'm saying is that 807 pieces and $100 seems way more appropriate for a Jabba's Throne Room set with a molded figure rather than a set that was on shelves two separate times in the last 7 years. 

I really hope that’s the case.

Just wishful thinking, I‘m afraid. I would also prefer Jabba‘s Palace over yet another hyper-boring throne room, but there‘s no real reason to doubt the rumour

[Matichado]

Here’s my prediction for each set we don’t know: 

 

75354 will be a skeleton crew ship with 1083 pieces dont know much about the show so il live it like this probs 100$

 

75357 will be a gunship (it just has to be) due to the piece count I asume it will be the movie model and my minifig guess will be an updated red and blue General Skywalker figure, Captain Rex, 4 501st troopers a pilot and 2 battle droids plus a droideka build, the gunship wouldn’t be based on any particular battle and it would be its own thing and I see most likely being the red green and white color scheme and as for the gunship it will probably be a smaller Ucs gunship tbh. 150$
 

for the Ahsoka sets a t6 Jedi shuttle is a no brainer for 70$ I predict the figures to be Ahsoka Sabine Wren and a spoiler minifig hopefully old man Rex if he appears in the show (it’s not a spoiler im just speculating)

and ofc a ghost would be ideal too 

1062 pieces I think it was? So the set would include Ahsoka, Hera Syndula, Chopper, and 2 stormtroopers and maybe Thrawn tho we don’t know if he’ll appear on the series.

 

the Ucs set imo is very unlikely to be clone wars based so here’s my guess

 

a home one cruiser would be absolutely fantastic and since it’s ROJ anniversary it makes a lot of sense the minifigs would be moon mothma and admiral Ackbar

however a Venator is still on the table, minifigs could be: TCW Tarkin that would be sick, and a clone naval officer

Really hope the gunship comes true. If it were a phase 2 clone set a phase 2 pilot would be cool. Like from the headhunter.

The UCS AT-AT released the year after the 40th anniversary of ESB. Jabba’s sail barge is rumored to release next year. Anniversaries are…loose guidelines for Lego, they could absolutely release a Jabba diorama next year.

I’m personally most excited for the throne room, it’s too iconic a sequence in Star Wars history!

I’d be happy if these were the sets with one major change: no more 501st. Please, enough. It’ll be five years of 501st domination since 2020, we don’t need more after two battlepacks. Rex can show up alone in a cheaper set. 

[Yperio_Bricks]

Jabba's Palce was the only Lego SW set i was planning on buying this year. Twice. 70€ was a ok price for the rumored figures and molded Jabba.

Seems i have to put my hope into the September sets or hope for a miracle

[McMurder_them_softly]

 A lot of this seems wish-listy and we don't know anything concrete at this time. 
I really like the new dark saber and Bo Katan, but I would rather get her in the Fang Fighter dual pack if that can happen. Don't like the build as much. 
Speaking of that, wouldn't it make sense for Bo to have the dark saber. If Mando had won it, then lost to this creature and Bo beat the creature, then shouldn't she have it? Seems similar to the Elder Wand with Snape, Harry, and Malfoy in HP. Oh well...

I will be honest, I really want another set with more than 2 501st regular troopers the new battlepack should’ve included a regular 501st trooper, I just don’t see the logic on having specialists but not regular troopers on shelves it’s iligical besides I didn’t reach my goal on 501st troopers

You’ve got a point with Bo and sun there

You can pick them up for dirt cheap on bricklink. There’s no reason to re-release them.

If you really wanna get technical, I am of the camp that Maul is still the rightful owner since it was stolen from him without being won in combat thus rendering every other transaction after meaningless but also the Luke theory makes sense too.

We've got a lot of newer members to this thread so let me remind everyone that this topic is for discussing set news and substantiated rumors. That's a broad range of subjects, but wishlisting is not one of them.

This is a good example of a comment that crosses the line from talking about substantiated rumors to wishlisting. Actual set numbers are used, but the rest is all a guess. @Matichado just using your comment as an illustration. This kind of list is better posted in the Wishlist topic which can be found in my signature.

No it's not the elder wand. The power is in the story, Bo never challenged Din for the darksaber. Taking it from the floor when he dropped it when ambushed by a sewer cyborg is not the same as an honourable duel.

Mando doesn't lose his right to the sword since he was ambushed and trapped by a mech droid. The Rahkshi didn't beat him in an honorable duel. Likewise, Bo-Katan simply picks up the blade and doesn't actually win it in combat. It's been implied a few times now that part of the scourge of mandalore was caused by Bo-Katan not being seen as a legitimate ruler due to not winning the darksaber in honorable combat but simply accepting it from Sabine, so she's hyper-wary that she can't simply HAVE the blade, but needs to win it in honorable single combat, likely with witnesses.

Sharing your speculations is fine, just trying to keep this thread on topic. We have the wishlist thread for speculations.

Hopefully the Emperor's Throne Room will contain the Sith holocron from TROS.

That lego_insider_news guy replied to the post calling it Jabba's Throne Room and said he was wrong. Grain of salt but that guy has leaked out 1 or 2 things now that other sources haven't...

That account lost credibility with their Temple of Doom fearmongering.

It says a lot that the mods at the legoleak reddit just made a public post stating they're no longer accepting or posting anything from that user due to "frequent stealing of info, removing watermarks, and dubious post history".

Oh really? Huh so then the Jabba's Palace really will be a large set? That's....interesting to say the least. I'm down. 

I hope Bo makes an appearance in the Fang Fighter vs TIE set too, I'd pay more to get two spaceships than one spider droid thing. April can't come soon enough, I'm so curious to see what the sets coming out in summer/early fall look like.

[Graupensuppe]

That UCS Death Star on Instagram looks boring enough to be legit.

I mean Maul is dead and though not winning it properly could render Bo and Sabine's claims, Din did win it properly from Gideon who assumably won it off No ( I mean she wouldn't give it up to him would she) though perhaps not honourably but Din won it fair and square and maul is dead and Din protected his claim against a challenge, I consider him the rightful owner by any metric.

Stealing of info?

Do these people know what leaking is?

They might as well shut down the whole subreddit. Leakers share confidential information that is literally what it means.

[omegabadbatch]

death star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[THELEGOBATMAN]

It's not a real set guys 

[omegabadbatch]

oh ok

[Fulcrumfan91]

Would not surprise me if a Death Star got released again lol
