Also of note that if lego had looked at the source material for 2 seconds and looked at their build for 2 seconds they would have noticed that they put the side cannons on upside down. Easy fix but c'mon lego.

Headscratcher. I’m also now reminded that the printed tie fighter hatch for current set 75300 is on backwards on all the marketing and the instructions. These are easy fixes so no harm done, but still, how does that happen?

Idk would pretty much every leaker and every lego star wars youtuber ALL fall for the joke or ALL be in on it?(with the ones who are in on it saying they've known for about a month)

Yes I think that is very much possible, I will not allow myself to be pranked, so I will wait a few days until I take this for real.

Idk I'd also be considerate of the constraints likely put on designers for this stuff...because afaik, they aren't free to do whatever they want with these sets...so close enough for me is good enough. Also consider the larger the sets become...the less affordable they are for...most ppl and specifically children out there. 

That last point is absolutely valid, they were definitely working on a tighter budget for that set. I guess the last year has spoiled me, Lego stepped up their set designs across the board.

I see that tie interceptor is not mid scaled like tie fighter and tie bomber. I am right?

I didnt like the Fang vs. Tie. Builds look okey, but already have alot of Ties and boring minifigure selection. Easy pass

So excited that these are not fake. I stand corrected.

Most excited for the UCS Venator. It will look great alongside the UCS Star Destroyer.

I have to point out as well:

Many LEGO Star Wars fans: Upset they didn't include a nicer, exclusive minifig in the expensive UCS Gunship.

Also many LEGO Star Wars fans: Upset they are including a nicer, exclusive minifig in the expensive UCS Venator.

What do you want?!?!

Come now, talk like this is a pet peeve of mine. You cannot act as if one group all share the same opinion or should be expected to. Do not act as if it is the same people saying each thing, yes there may be a few, but that's not the point.

Is this Fluffy person on Reddit legit? They’re claiming the Padme in the gunship is a remake of the 2012 TCW Padme with a tan body suit and dark red jacket. (If this is true that’s an L on the part of Lego considering we need new variants for Padme and her in the senate garb would just be perfect.)

 

Is it the same person who told about gunship?

[Goofster]

Nah y'all really complaining about the smallest details bro, c'mon, what's next? Complaining about how General Dodonna's and Leia's weapons are swapped on the box, instructions and etc?

Lego is primarily a kid's toy company, and the 2020 AAT is directed towards kids, they aren't gonna inspect every single little minute detail on there bruh.

I think if people think that all clone wars fans should or do just parrot the same opinions they should consider watching a little something very few people know called STAR WARS THE CLONE WARS a show which goes over how even people who are genetically identical, brought up in the same environment and literally programmed to be like each other ended up having a broad range of viewpoints, skills, experiences, personalities, desires and values.

Congratulations to everyone with the best Lego Star Wars year ever.

You’re only looking at this from someone who’s only a fan of the Clone Wars POV. The mechs still exist, there have been ridiculous prices across the board, and the quality of minifigures has been just brutal at times. Plus we still have no idea what most of the sets look like.

Edit: Apparently it's a Coruscant Gaurd Gunship so will be mostly red?

Really hoping it's a standard Gunship and not a red variant. Then it'll be years more before the release a standard Gunship.

Red variant? Most Gunships have red markings - Did an all-red LAAT appear at some point?

HOLD UP, WHAT IF ITS THE POLICE GUNSHIP?????

Unlikely at this price. Also, I think that the next Police Gunship that we get will be Imperial rather than Republic, since the former appears often in Rebels and J:FO/J:S.

I just wonder, isnt this list more likely to be an aprils fools joke? Has anybody verified it otherwise?

It was, but the joke turned out to be that the list is true, but most people doubted it because it dropped on April 1st! 
 

[CF Mitch]

Had I replied to this yet, since it was made clear the leaks were genuine? I believe not...

Now that I've calmed down a bit, so to speak, I've decided to await pictures of both the Republic Gunship and the UCS Venator.
The RGS is, at the moment, mainly appealing to me because of the minifigures, which seem fantastic. I just hope the shock troopers are the same style as the current Phase II clone troopers, and not based too much on TCW animation, like the current versions. Which also brings me too the style of Padmé and Palpatine, 'cause a movie version Padmé would be great, since we've had so few of her.

Regarding the Venator; it's high time for an improved model, if you ask me, since the TCW version was... weird. Like, kinda fat or something. 
Having said that, I'm not sure it required a UCS version, for me personally. And that price, yikes... A Clone Wars era Yularen sounds brilliant, though  

Regards,
Mitch

Hey when they only make these things every bloody 10 years (or in the AATs case 5 years) you'd want them to be damn near perfect cus you're either gonna be stuck with an annoyance for 10 years or waiting another decade for them to just get it wrong in a different way.

From the redditor it seems the $100 ahsoka set is a new republic vehicle, no recognizable characters with it. Also Sabine has arm printing. The gunship part inventory is also said to have no green for the front and very little white, and is mostly dark red. So definitely not a normal version.

For literally like 30 seconds in I think season 6 of the clone wars, yes it did. The source seems pretty adament that there was a lot of red but they didn't actually see the full build (I think they saw the parts?) So it's super sketchy right now.

Every sub-18 set is directed towards kids. And yet, there’s an ocean of difference between the quality of a set like the fighter tank and a set like, say, the playscale Batman Tumbler (which has a ridiculous attention to detail) while costing the same. 
 

“it’s just a kids set” is an empty hand wave that frees Lego of the responsibility of making decent sets

Yeah Micro Galaxy Squadron, a star wars toy wave with about 5 gunships: Plo's bros, Coruscant Guard Gunship, Crumble Bomber and Separitist nightmare.

The Crumble Bomber is the classic LAAT.

From what i know, the Coruscant Guard Gunship and Separtist Nightmare most likely appeared in the background or something in TCW.

Did they say what kind of NR vehicle (fighter, capital ship, land vehicle, shuttle, etc)? No recognisable characters suggests spoiler characters, but also no Zeb.

Just that it’s clearly republic in some way, but has no recognizable helmets so is probably from Ahsoka.

Oh and also I better not hear a single "waaah lego doesn't care about the prequel era" complaint again after we're getting the what, 3rd largest SW set ever based on the clone wars, alongside the rest of this wave.

I’d like to complain that Lego doesn’t care about the non-Clone based prequel content.  I’m still out in the desert looking for a Shmi Skywalker, Boss Nass, Dexter Jettster, and ROTS Padmé. And it’s been forever since we got a Count Dooku or an AOTC Anakin.

Will we see the missing phoenix squadron team that's still alive during this wave? Ezra, Zeb, Sabine etc...

Not this wave it seems.

Sabine is leaked to be in the Ahsoka T6 shuttle with Ahsoka and Huyang

For you maybe. For me it’s not even close, because I can’t stand the current clone design, and wasn’t too interested in clones in the first place.
