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.

*agrees in TPM*

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.

This? I am not sure how I feel; it is a nice variant, but I would definitely prefer a standard LAAT and leave the variants for mods/MOCs. 

Separatist Nightmare was in the Second Battle of Geonosis.

I’m right there with you. 4 years and counting since the last TPM set

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

So it is a Republic ship that is new, not a New Republic ship? 
Maybe the Crucible? With us getting Huyang in the T-6, I can see the Crucible making an appearance in the show!

Those were 2019 for the 20th anniversary of TPM I believe

But already enough to be the best year for Lego Star Wars

I think its far from, the choice of MBS / UCS for me is close to horrific compared to what I was hoping for. 

Swamp speeder was already something I didnt want, new Gun ship, again??? Maybe only the Ghost I might be interested in, nothing else, last year was definitely a better SW year than this one, as it looks now, 2012-2014, 2016, 2018 and 2022 are the best years for me.

What do you mean AGAIN? it's been 10 years.

I’m definitely interested in the Ghost and Ahsoka’s shuttle, but the Gunship is a wait and see since it seems to be a Coruscant version rather than a normal version. Don’t really care about the Swamp Speeder since Vaughn isn’t that interesting of a character and I already have 2 of the previous 332nd clones without the helmet holes. The UCS Venator sounds amazing but I’ll probably just get Rex on BrickLink once the prices go down a bit since I won’t have the space nor the budget for that set.

I think they're either exaggerating or mean the UCS gunship lol.

Wow at first, i was gonna end up homeless in the streets, but with new developments im not, ghost is a skip, 100$ ahsoka set is a skip (ill ebay zeb or something if hes in it.

For those who care, im honestly just gonna get

-2 501st battlepacks

-1-2 swamp speeders

-1 gunship

-T-6 shuttle

and the spider tank

for the rest of the year that's it, maybe the yoda's starfighter if the 3rd fig is Gree or something.

I may or may not end up buying like 10 of those swamp speeders over it's life span. I like me some clones.

I'd actually buy multiple gunships if it was a normal one but if it's coruscant guard I'll probably just get one. I don't see much need for so many of such a niche version of the ship.

Venator I'll buy when it goes on a slight discount, nearer the end of it's lifespan. Unless my impulsivity makes me do it sooner lol.

Most likely New Republic, we've seen them in Mando so there most likely gonna continue that storyline, also, isn't the Republic gone? Isn't it replaced by the New Republic?

This tbh. Not to sound like an armchair marketer, but given the choice between a massable vs unique ship, why on earth would you choose the latter? Kids will get one. Adults and kids with rich parents who would have gotten several generics will get one or two. 

[Classic_Spaceman]

I found the Coruscant Guard LAAT (from 6x07 “Crisis at the Heart”). 
 

[Old Master]

Dang I guess im in the minority that would actually really like to see this as a Coruscant Gunship. Minifig selection is probably the best out of this news. So stoked for a new Chancellor fig.

Ghost is an instant purchase for me. Could care less about the minifigs that come with it I am just that in love with the ship.

T6 seems cool but will probably just BL the Sabine. 

As for the Venator, this is gonna be crazy. Would be my biggest single LSW purchase, but i am gonna wait and see, and at the very least, BL the Rex.

New Republic ships at this point are mostly just Rebel ships, so I think that they would be recognisable. The Crucible is an Old Republic ship (long predating the Clone Wars), and since Huyang survived, perhaps his ship did as well.

Im for some reason excited for that Padme, ive never gotten one and tbh, the Red and Tan one is my fav variation.

and for the Venator, you know it will most likely NOT have an interior right? Just looking out for you.

I wish that Tie interceptor set was without fang fighter and mandos minifigures.

Edited April 2, 2023 by omegabadbatch

[Fulcrumfan91]

Oh cool! Maybe Padme is the tan one we see in that CW episode? Kinda surprised Clovis isn't in it tbh considering this. But that's a small thing, I don't care too much.

You know you could just buy the tie interceptor vs fang fighter without figs? Maybe if you're lucky you'll find someone selling only the parts for the tie fighter.

The version that we see in this episode is tan/brown, not tan/dark red as rumoured. It sounds more like we will be getting her outfit from the Malevolence arc. 
 

[omegabadbatch]

or I will sell fangfighter and mandos minifigures. I want astromech too

What's interesting is that Star Wars Micro Galaxy "Coruscant Guard Republic Gunship" also just came out this year, 2023, so clearly that's some artwork asset that Lucasfilm has been sending around to toy licensees.

The Star Wars team at LEGO really has a habit of making what everyone is hankering for. Non-canon Mace Windu squad. Gigantic Justifier. Republic Gunship except it's the red one that appeared on screen for five seconds.
