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. 

It's a disgrace and they dragged Cal down with it. I'll never forgive the empire.

I remember a few years ago they supposedly hired a leak agent, and I'll say the agent(s) have definitely upped their game. Aside from the survey leak, they have been able to keep a lot of stuff a lot closer to the chest this year. I wouldn't be surprised if the catalogues either had unique watermarks and some sort of larger penalty for leaking things, or if they just stopped including them. I think most retailers are pretty confident lego sets will sell regardless of what they actually are- most of the sets that do particularly poorly are lego exclusives. *cough* hulkbuster *cough* black panther bust

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.

Skeleton crew also features four children as the main characters- I feel like lego's more inclined to take the risk and make a set for that one. 

I wasn't so much talking about the rating (I believe all star wars content has been rated TV14/PG13 or below in the US, which is what lego seems to use to draw the line on what they will and won't make sets for) as the tone and how interested kids would be in it, I guess. Andor was TV-14 but pretty mature, and I think the set didn't do as well because not that many kids watched it. The acolyte does have lightsabers, so that's something.

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.

Sorta Ninja'd 

Yeah I don't put much stock in that theory, especially because the guy who posted here, again, was the guy who claimed live-action kanan would be a thing with some impact, but if it does turn out to be true, I think that'd cause me to break off from my current "watch almost all content" to more of how I am with marvel now, where I watch almost none of the shows and 30-50% of the movies.

I think some lucasfilm story board guy tried to say that they didn't mean it, but in darth vader (vol 2 I think) #25, aka The Best Star Wars Comic Issue Of All Time, it is VERY heavily implied that plaguis and palpatine's machinations led to anakin's creation. I'd argue palpatine implies it in ROTS, but you could argue it's not clear. Here, if you look at the panel with pregnant Shmi in that issue, it's pretty clear that's what they're going for.

What about the Dark Side chocolate chip cookies? What about the peace, justice and security that Vader brought to Palpatine’s new empire? 

ISD isn’t that bad. I will die on this hill.

Anywho. The Ortulan (he’s called Neel apparently) looks fine.

Hol’up. But that means that Rey and Kylo in the film that must not be named committed…

Luke and Leia would be proud.

He influenced it's creation, he's not genetically the dad. It'd be like if you told a guy he should have a kid- you may have given him the idea, but that's not your kid. If your clone's daughter someday kisses that kid's grandson, it's weird for many reasons, but they're not relatives.

Though in legends, it'd be more like if you and your friend were trying to genetically create an Evil Baby (TM) in a lab, and a literal god got so angry about your Evil Baby (TM) experiments that he made Space Jesus.

Yeah I mean I don't really feel much about it one way or the other- the figure's not the most interesting design, but that's not on lego (or disney, who I thank for not trying to make a 10-17 year old into their next baby yoda)

To be fair, it’s pretty clear in the comic that the intention is that the idea that Palpatine created him is one of Vader’s anxieties, not a thing that actually happened in story. Not saying that doesn’t mean it isn’t the case in canon, but the comic certainly isn’t a good argument one way or the other.

Anyway, any chances of August reveals on Saturday as it will officially be the mid point of the month?

No, since they don’t typically reveal sets on weekends. Maybe they really wanna punish us this year and won’t unveil them before July 1st

[MKJoshA]

I leave you all alone for 24 hours and this is what I come back to?

This forum is for talk about sets, not canon, fan theory, or other things Star Wars related. Those lines can blur, certainly, but we've definitely crossed the line. I hid some of the posts that seemed most likely to cause offense. If you don't see your post and want to know why send me a PM.

Media, Star Wars media included, includes more and more content relating to social or political issues. Those issues, such as gender issues, can be very divisive. We have a diverse group of people on this forum with varied views. On this forum both ends of the spectrum are allowed. We aren't going to censor a view point. However, posting a view in a combative or demeaning way is not allowed and we reserve the right to censor those. Please be respectful of each other's views. Don't resort to name calling. Be willing to accept that other people can believe something different than you and not be the worst person in the world.

Disney might be bringing these issues into their shows, but this forum is not the place to hash it out in debate.

I’ve just built the Mando S3 bp and the moff Gideon bunker sets and you know I like them price wise for modern times it ain’t bad and I like the thought of combining sets. 

I hope the tantive boarding that maybe they add a tantive escape with a Leia and a few troopers for example. 

I think it could open up a few options and keeps things fresh combing location and bps builds in to bigger displays. 
 

as for the August wave I would have thought that we would have had reveals after the June wave came out. I can’t see any other big reveals coming for Lego before August so hopefully it won’t be long. 

pure speculation but maybe there is a spoiler ish acolyte set in the August wave and they might be waiting for the episodes to come out before they release more images of the wave. It wouldn’t be the first time pretty sure mandos N1 came out of nowhere a couple of years ago.

Agreed.
Endor bunker and stormtrooper Battlepack, I beg.

I think that you have a good point. Maybe Coughing Baby (Young Leia) is in the C3 P0 and the creature set is actually from Acolyte as some others have previously said. Either that or Lego’s waiting for the Skeleton Crew trailer to drop. As it looks like that set is coming in August.

About the N-1, we knew a BOBF set was coming. We just didn’t know it was the N-1 until maybe 24 hours before they revealed it.

I'm totally guilty of discussing non-set related stuff but I think this is a good way of putting the issue and setting boundaries for more contentious stuff.

He doesn't seem to be a star wars guy for whatever reason.

 

I think we'll still get leaks first, and that they'll be any day now. Keep your fingers crossed!

I feel like official reveal wise, it'll be either the RTG sets or the rest of the anniversary ones.

*sad Peridea and 3PO noises*

I hope they reveal all of them at once  The staggered reveal like in 2020 was neat, but I feel it‘s too late for that now. Just show us the goods, you cowards

[HatBricks]

I'ma just pop in here before the set reveals (which our hopefully soon), to put down my prediction that the Young Princess Leia creature set will be buildable Wicket the Ewok (like the Grogo and Yoda sets)

This honestly makes the most sense. But the fact that we have no other information is pretty suspect in my opinion.

And then next year we’ll get a Venomized Ewok.

 

I’m just wondering what the 2nd figure in Jedi Bob’s starfighter is. Clone Trooper? Geonosian Jedi? Ewok Bounty Hunter?

I thought it was confirmed the 2nd figure was a clone trooper

[Lordhelmet]

Hoping to get the leaks soon (or official reveals at this point).  

 

What is the most buildable characters/creatures we have gotten in a single year?  This year we have R2/ Droideka/ C-3PO (rumored)/ Unknown leia set.  That seems like a lot of buildable characters/creatures in one year.  Just curious if there is precedent for that many from other years vs. what we are expecting this year.

After I posted I thought "wait, are there other august sets coming out? No, I think that's all of them." Can't believe I missed Peridea.

I'd prefer all of them at this point as well. I generally like the spacing out, as it draws out discussion, but they're really playing chicken with the leakers here, and that tends not to go well for them.

I've been saying this for months- totally agree.

The reason DC gets away with it is there's not much ON-topic to talk about. Turtle shows up in LOTR or space every once in awhile, but his greatest success pre-DC was the indiana Jones thread, because that theme is more dead than DC. MKAJosh might be lenient with us, but he definitely keeps the ship on course.

If it's not an astromech droid, I'll be very surprised.

It’s like how DC comics is with Nightwing at the moment. They’re betting too much on the buildable character sets at the moment. 1 or 2 a year is fine. But 4 is just baffling. Especially when there’s play-sets that are in desperate need of being made/ remade. I don’t think there are all that many kids who’d prefer a buildable character over a cool gunship, tank or base that’s compatible to the rest of their sets and figures.

But hey… Lego’s the one that does the market research not me. (But let’s keep in mind how that market research turned out with Vidiyo.)

Still no pictures of the LSW magazine with the Imperial Shuttle gift. It releases tomorrow here and usualy some people get it early. I really want to know what gift we'll get next: Sabine, Vader or something else?
