Good points, but again, unlikely to be made within the next couple of years, we didn't even get a Republic Shuttle throughout all of Bad Batch, which was a relevant release opportunity.

I'm aware of that, but my point is that even if we get anymore Rebels sets (which is highly unlikely, unfortunately, as they didn't sell well), we wouldn't get a Rebels version of Saw. A RO set would've been the only way we got him.

Sadly all very true. 🫤

And yet the mystery of what the buildable creature will be still is left unanswered.

There better be some Bad Batch characters in it and it might be based off a creature from the show but idk

The only thing that makes me think that this set is actually real is young Leia’s appearance alongside Ezra, Cal, Fives, Nien, etc, in the anniversary video. 
As for what it is, do we even know for sure that it will be a buildable creature? IIRC, that info came from the same source as the “more than two eyes” claim, which is almost certainly false (since if the leaker knew that, why did they not also know what the creature was, or at least the colours used if they only saw the parts list?). 
I am personally not holding out hope for a Zillo/TBB set, since I would expect to get a ship (V-wing, seriously!) before a buildable creature as a tie-in.

So far on Prequel trikogy ( R2D2, Maul Sith Infiltrator) and original trilogy (R2D2 , Star destroyer, Tantive) sets are getting anniversary figs so are we sure young Leia isn't just with the Threepio set?

Master Sol fig when?

That would make sense, and fit with Malak appearing in the R2-D2 set.

Hopefully next year! IIRC, the releases of The Acolyte and Skeleton Crew got switched around, so there may well be something already in the pipeline for 2025.

Leia being included in the 3PO set instead and the „creature“ set actually turning out to be an Acolyte set would be the best case scenario, so of course that‘s not gonna happen  For the moment, the creature rumour is the best info we have, so I continue to believe that  Then again, we’ve had quite a few switcheroos already this year

Found George Lucas’s account.

Uj/ it is weird that we don’t know what it is though. I’d imagine it’s a Lego exclusive and that’s why it’s under wraps.

Seriously- George deserves all of the praise for creating this universe, but he was a creep about Twi'leks.

My personal theory now is that it doesn't actually exist and Young Leia's a shared hallucination. (But seriously, my money's still on an ewok)

If one more person claims this with the absolutely 0 evidence of that that we have, I'm going to.... I don't know. I got lucky with the eating malak bet. I might sit this one out actually.

I have really not been an Acolyte fan but Sol is an S-tier Jedi design, he's awesome, and I'll take that polybag now lego.

Agreed.

 

Any updated thoughts on the R2 KT set? I’m honestly hoping now that the figure list isn’t correct as it wouldn’t bode (Bode? Bode Akuna?! Traitor!!) well for a Stormtrooper Battlepack in January. Beach Troopers and Rebel Friend on the other hand….

It never made much sense. I have to agree that I don't really trust the info, especially with how wonky some of these figure lists turn out. "Star destroyer has 12 figs.."

High quality jar jar and 3po leak. Jar Jar's alright, I think a sith robe serves the character better but the face is on point and I get that they wanted to do something unique for him- this does look like an evil version of his dumb little vest he wears in canon. I mantain C-3PO is a waste of a slot and they should have chosen almost anyone else. If you were gonna do evil C-3PO, make him black like Triple-0 so he's visually distinctive (and can be used for trip). I get the joke but am not a fan of the figure. (I will say, if it's not just an inverted allegiance thing and having a swapped out arm is what makes him evil in the show, like doc ock's arms sometimes, I'd laugh. Not enough to like the figure choice, but it would be pretty funny)

Just a friendly reminder that not everything everyone says on the internet is true, even if they claim to have insider information. I seem to remember a certain leaker enthusiastic about a live-action kanan a year or two ago. But regardless, the only real relevance that show has to lego right now is that they were likely scared off from making sets by the disappointing performance/reception of previous shows and the potential maturity level. 

 

Really shocked we haven't seen any of the august sets yet. I feel like we've usually had some image leaks by now- I know a week or so ago I looked back to confirm that we had indeed had the august set images at that time last year.

I do hope so. There is so much potential for great Jedi minifigs. I need a Kelnacca figure, stat!

Seeing the HD images of Evil 3-P0 and Darth Jar Jar, 3-P0 does feel like a wasted opportunity  but Darth Jar Jar is great and I definitely get what they were going for with his torso design. Now where are pictures of the August sets? I'm dying to see the Peridea set and what color Jedi Bob's Starfighter is going to be!

*sad SD noises*

But yeah, the pictures are pretty much overdue! Looks like they learned from the last coupla years, where the August sets were revealed thanks to the 2HY catalogue multiple times.

What’s funny is that the official images for most if not all summer sets from other themes (Marvel, Mario, Dreamzzz, Animal Crossing, etc.) were released over a month ago, heck even the Zelda set was revealed and that doesn’t launch until September.

It's still more likely scheduling rather than anything else. The Accolyte has had far more fan interest from it's announcement compared to things like Skeleton crew. Skeleton crew that we know was supposed to come out first and that they have made ( but not yet released) a set for.

As for maturity, it's rated at the same level as RotS and below Andor.

I'm hopeful that they'll make up for the lack of sets now in January or march and at some point next year.

You're getting real warm. The prevailing theory is that, by the time the show is concluded, it will have set in motion some FORCE retconning that would at least establish that Anakin came to be conceived by two women (so for sure no male father).

You're getting real cold. Anakin already has no father. ( and I wouldn't care if Shmi had a girlfriend at one point, good for her) and what business would a show set a hundred years before Anakin's immaculate conception have to do retconning it? I mean if that were true it would have a literal zero sum impact on all the storytelling from Anakin's birth one, anyway I always thought Luke turned out to be the real chosen one and we know he was the son of Padmé and Anakin.

The only reason nonsense like this is spread is that the Anti-Woke crowd haven't actually found a good enough reason to hate the show ( other that their favourite fall back of straight up racism and misogyny.) in it's first 2 episodes so they just went ahead and made one up.

 

( This isn't me calling anyone who dislikes the show those things ( dislike doesn't equal hate and even if you do hate it it could be for other reasons) not am I calling @Something_Awesome those things, just perhaps incredibly gullible so I'll repeat what @Mandalorianknight said 'that not everything everyone says on the internet is true, even if they claim to have insider information' I mean that's even true of Lego leaks else we'd have a death star not a star destroyer.)

Anakin is a miracle baby, immaculate conception a la Jesus (he's literally Space Jesus). Shmi concieved him via The Force (along with some meddling by either Plagueis or Palps).

So, canonically, he can't be conceived any other way.

Anakin has one mom, no dad. The Force conceived him, so he came to be. Anything else would effectively jettison waste all over the franchise.

Sorry, when was this confirmed? Perchance was it a novel, comic, or some other EU material that Disney has never expressed any care for? I get that people do love all of the non-canon stuff, however in terms of what Disney considers canon, I'm not certain that there's ever been anything other than an implied Jesus-esque birth.

Either way, refer to @Agent Kallus' comment.

Literally the Phantom Menace  C'mon man. Can't get much more canon than GL himself. Even if his original ROTS script is dismissed (where Palpatine is revealed to be behind Anakin's birth, because poetry), it's quite clear from Qui Gon and Shmi's interaction that Anakin just sort of appeared.

Also, I don't really care what Disney says, they didn't make Star Wars, George Lucas did.

Geez. That’s just straight up homophobia man. The Acolyte is actually decent. And after the first 2 episodes I think that I trust them not to mess up the lore.

Anakin’s a strange way to spell Obi-Wan.

I was under the impression that either Palpatine or Plagueis had altered Shimi’s midichlorians to get her pregnant. But I think that was a fan theory that gained a lot of traction a while ago.

Also, none of this has anything to do with Leia's buildable creature.

It's an anagram 

Half theory. Original ROTS script had Palpatine reveal himself to be responsible for Anakin's birth.

[Agent Kallus]

Technically if you consider the Skywalker twins the real chosen ones they both had 2 mothers, (birth and adoptive)Padmé and Beru/Breha respective.

 

Shmi Skywalker : There was no father. I carried him, I gave birth, I raised him. I can't explain what happened.

How 'bout those Star Destroyers? 

Also, do we know what set Nien Nunb is coming with? I might have missed it.

I still stand with the ISD. I think it looks great and we were just let down by the rumours.

ISD you have my Sword.

 

Nien Nunb will be in the Sarlaac pit.

Star Wars fans getting treated with inequality yet again. This is always the case with January sets as well for some reason. As in we always tend to get the latest reveals. But if there’s one fandom that deserves the inequality it’s probably ours.

Hi

I'm not the biggest SW Fan but I did enjoy the Jedi Fallen order game ( the sequel was alright too). Is it true that Cal is gonna be exclusive to that Star ⭐ Destroying ship set? There weren't any stars  ✨ being destroyed in the game!? ( Also they've cheaped out there but not including BDone since they have the part made and designed already!!!).

So is there any precedent for supposedly exclusive figures appearing in smaller ( or more relevant Stinging Mantis 🐜 please) sets along the line? A magazines inclusion would be ideal!

Unfortunately Cal (or at least his JFO variant) will be exclusive to the ISD. This is because all the Anniversary figures are characters that Lego claims they wouldn’t have made otherwise.

I would hope that Jedi Survivor Cal would show up in a random imperial set in the future.

I have no doubt that Disney would try to retcon the Chosen One prophecy so that it would fit a more diverse individual (Cough-Rey-Cough) when the opportunity presents itself.

This is entirely unnecessary, since if they want to tell another Chosen One story, they could just have a new character be a reincarnation of Anakin. It could even be similar to the ATLA Avatar cycle, and we get a new Chosen One every few generations (or one appears whenever the Force falls out of balance).

I have heard this leak/rumour; 

 

apparently Osha and Mae were created/birthed somehow by the Aniseya coven, obviously without male input. I am fine with this, since we have seen Nightsister Magick do all sorts of strange things beyond traditional Jedi Force powers (resurrection/zombies, manifesting robot legs for Maul, bulking up Savage, manifesting the Sword of Talzin, etc, etc). Additionally, we already know that Darth Plagueis “could use the Force to influence the Midi-chlorians to create life”; I can buy that this knowledge did not originate with him (since it seems more like an extreme extension of Force healing, and not something that a Sith would necessarily come up with on their own).

Ultimately, whether this is a good idea or not comes entirely down to the execution of the concept and what is done with it in the story, IMO.

He is a 25th anniversary bonus Minifig, so he has nothing to do with the content of the set (just like Fives’ inclusion in the Tantive IV set).

A Stinger Mantis set is unfortunately unlikely at this point, if that is what you are referring to; also, we are never getting a Yam’rii Minifig, if that is what you mean.

Agreed. I am personally discounting the opinions of anyone who started hating the show long before it even aired (i.e. certain YouTubers)!

A better picture of the alien (ortolan?) character from the SC set surfaced on IG  I didn’t realise before they have a tuft of hair! No way they’re reusing this piece for Max Rebo
