It's mad to me that we've had Naboo sets from the start, but we've only had one Panaka and one Amidala, and we've never had Captain Typho. Naboo sets seem to keep to Gungans and battle droids, or else generic pilots.

Yep.

Generally Lego tends to make unreasonable choices when it comes to inclusion of generic vs. unique figures. Probably has something to do with licencing issues, though.

The Soulless one with Grievous a couple of years ago could have included Cody (luckily we had one later, but disappointment then was very real) and the anniversary AT-RT could have included AT-RT driver but instead both were given just generic clones in their places. Same things with the Naboo characters as you said.

There have been more releases of K-3P0, Count Dooku's pilot droid, Paploo the Ewok, the buzz droid, and Luke in a bacta tank than Zam. It's kinda sad.

While I believe in the release of a SW cmf line like I believe in fairies, obscure characters could still appear in advent calendars if they are not given sets, like Zam?

Usually they only include figures, which have appeared on sets, but at least the Imperial colonel was unique only to an advent calendar. That would also hugely boost the interest into them anyway. 5 figures, 2 of which are mostly useless holiday specials, with a whopping price tag and generic choices for the rest 3 figures. Have skipped those things for years in a row now, and watched with envy the Potter versions...

I wouldn’t mind more stormtroopers tbh. But better as Death or Shore Troopers. Either way 2 troopers is fine. Dedra needs protection (I’d hate for @THELEGOBATMAN to get his heart broken)

Protect Dedra at all cost!

Death Troopers will do a much better job at that. Also, we haven't seen them as minifigures in a while.

To be fair, Endor Leia was a decent inclusion in last year's calendar. Every now and then we get a good pick

True, but she still wasn't a unique figure, she didn't include her helmet, and the legs on both her and Luke from the speeder diorama are pretty bad.

There was one shown at SW Celebration, so I would hope/imagine it isn't too far off.

My TCW Plo Koon just shattered completely (I kriffing hate Lego's Browns/Maroons), so now I'm definitely curious to see Plo's starfighter.

I played with mine a lot as a kid so the gray printing on the head completely wore off.

I really hope Plo—Koon’s head is hard plastic but even if it’s like Yoda and Grogu’s at least it won’t be as rubbery as his and Fisto’s first hoods were 

Anyone have any ideas on who else could be included in the Plo Koon starfighter. I swear I saw something that said it will have 3 minifigs.

Ideally Lego would be nice and give us Wolffe. But it might be a ROTS set so maybe a 442nd Trooper or new Nemoidian Guardsman?

Pretty sure that 3rd minifig rumor comes from that Jedi Bricks guy so that means it ain't true, in the small chance that it is, I hope it's P2 Commander Wolffe since we saw him in that mobile game, they can just brand it Clone Wars

SW is always last for some reason :(

It's almost like the themes everyone wants/likes get revealed last and the ones everybody doesn't care for get revealed first (Dreamzzz,Ninjago,Disney Princess,Friends)

Let TheLegoBatman express his love in peace, nobody's disputing she's a villain (except him of course but love has blinded us all)

There have been Andor S2 trailers shown at conventions for over a year, I believe. Though with a release date in April one HAS to be coming soon, right?

Unfortunately the most likely scenario is lego just hits us with Plo and his astromech. After Yoda's starfighter I trust no one.

I'd have to guess there's more secrecy around the licensed themes.

And hey, a lot of people like those themes! It's just that their target audiences tend not to be the ones scouring the internet for leaks.

Marvel’s got sneak peaks at things releasing In November 2025. How the kriff don’t we have a public 30 second teaser at least?!!!!

It’s the only thing we have next year.

Unfortunate indeed. At least it‘s gonna be a brand-new Plo, hopefully with a more accurate non-rubbery moulded headpiece!

Exabricks teases set reveals (not Star Wars specific) for early December, so yeah, hopefully any day now a leak / happy accident might occur 🤞. 
Personally, I will set my timer for the last week of November though.

A new headpiece still could be rubber though. Mayby they don't want to have two sharp spikes of plastic sticking out the head? Or they fear they could break off easily?

Either way, I guess that's why the Quarren head also is made of rubber.

Ahsoka’s Interceptor has three Minifigs (Ahsoka, R7, Anakin) - and even Jedi Bob’s JSF had three ‘figs (Jedi Bob, Clone Calamari, Gonk Droid) - so Yoda’s two-Minifig starfighter seems to be the anomaly. It is safe to assume that Plo Koon’s JSF will have three Minifigs as well, IMO.
