LEGO Star Wars 2024 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!

Finally, something other than ST bashing! It‘s been 5 years, this kind of discussion already got stale years ago

A buildable Ewok sounds realisti… and the source is Jedi Bricks. *sigh*

Yeah... let's see how this one pans out. Tbh I wouldn't be sad if it does end up being fake. 

[BacktoBricks]

If a buildable Ewok turns out to be the reason for that Redwood hint, then ouch. 

[Llewop]

Isn’t the source on that buildable Ewok the same one who’s done a few fakes I swear it’s the same guy who said there was going to be a Jedi temple set 

[ArrowBricks]

To put it bluntly, the source is more of a sauce than a source. Let’s wait and see.

Yeah his entire existence is basically making clickbait YouTube videos. He does it for LotR stuff too.

I hate that guy, always fake leaks and pictures of mocs, AND HE'S PROMOTING HIS MOCS AND INSTRUCTIONS

I trust the Gambit leaker more than that guy, that's how much he clickbaits and pisses me off

Even Lifebricks is more reliable lol

[MKJoshA]

Every time I leave you all alone for a couple days!

I seriously love the talk about EU material and hearing from those who like the sequels. But it is off topic, let's keep that to the Media topic please.

Yeah. MBS Endor is probably the biggest set (That we'd realistically get- I'd sell my kidneys for a UCS Mantis) that I'd make a priority day 1 buy. A buildable ewok is... a choice.

I don't trust the Gambit leaker but he told me something I want to hear (Gambit in a cheaper set) so now I have to gaslight myself into thinking he's legit.

But yeah- fake leakers are one thing, clickbaity youtubers who do this stuff are somehow significantly more annoying.

 

 

We're probably about a month out from images of the january sets- they always seem to leak around Thanksgiving. I know there was a streak a couple years back where they were leaked/revealed ON Thanksgiving a few years in a row.

Tin-foil hat time! I brewed this up late last night.

In the Dark Falcon for Jedi Vader, we got a human-looking Sebastian Shaw head, a very random but neat inclusion on its own. We also have rumors of a new Anakin minifig, presumably the first in a long time to have a head print without a headset or Sith eyes, a welcome addition on its own.

Now, what do those two, Hayden and Sebastian, have to do with each other? Both portrayed the Force ghost of Anakin at the end of Return of the Jedi. Where do we see the Force ghost of Anakin (Hayden/Sebastian), along with those of Ben and Yoda? The Ewok Village, which is heavily speculated to be the D2C next fall.

I know it’s all a bit of a stretch—okay, maybe pretty big of a stretch. Nonetheless, I predict we will get our first Force ghosts in LEGO Star Wars next year. My personal theory leans toward trans-medium blue arms and legs with opaque torsos, heads, and hairs; and that both the Anakin and the Sebastian head/hair combo will be included for fans to swap to his or her preference.

Is it clear that I’ve been in the DC Aslume for too long?

Yes, an Anakin figure that's rumored to be included in Ahsoka's Jedi Starfighter, not a UCS/MBS Ewok Village.

Unless they go all powder blue or figure out how to make viable translucent figures, we'll probably never see Force Ghosts.

I meant that. I was suggesting they reuse the head and hair from the Interceptor for the Ewok Village. 

Force Ghosts aren’t fully transparent blue, only a blue hue around semi-transparent human actors. Using opaque pieces isn’t a disservice at all to the source material.

Especially since the head, hands, arms and legs have all been done in transparent colours before, without issue.

I think the only reason we haven't had any Force Ghosts yet is because most of the scenes they appear in aren't exactly conducive to Lego sets. Nobody wants a "Luke lying delirious in the Hoth snow" playset, and if we're having Dagobah then the Force-Ben scenes are the worst choice for sets. A UCS Ewok Village is the golden opportunity for Force Ghosts

[icm]

On the contrary, I think it would be easy to add Force ghosts to OT playsets. After all, LSW adds minifigures that aren't precisely germane to a scene to sets all the time. Just add Force Ghost Ben to a playset with one or two tauntauns and a wampa, or a probe droid. Or add Force Ghost Ben to a Yoda's Hut playset. Or add Force Ghost Ben, Force Ghost Yoda, and Force Ghost Ani to any Endor playset. Easy peasy.

Edit - heck, you could even add Force Ghost Ben to an X-wing and it would be relevant to the specific scene depicted!

They could do force ghosts similarly to this Harry Potter one, just a normal fig in different shades of blue - 

Right now the most likely place they would show up is a large-scale Ewok Village, but that might change with the potential second season of Ahsoka or maybe Kenobi.

The marvel sets got revealed a week or 2 before January 2024 lmao, they're so late revealing stuff I'd expect it to happen again

I bought the war machine mech and NWH expansion pack like a week before christmas (so about two weeks from january 2024), are you sure they were revealed that late? I remember being surprised that they were out before their street date, but I know I'd seen them revealed before.

Honestly I'd prefer that, rather than having the inner joints and supports showing through.

Sooooooo,

Was the rumour of a 2nd Andor S2 set a JediBricks or did that come from a reliable source?

Haven't seen any reliable leakers mention it.

Oh yay. Eurobricks is back online.

 

Here’s a question, if the Mandalorian Movie flops and the sets made for it sell that poorly, what would happen to the theme? Will lego become more hesitant to make sets based off new content, or business as usual?

Observe how Marvel isn’t revisiting phase 4 in sets (except for No Way Home)

They only started to revisit films from phases 1 to 3 after Endgame, i.e., after the conclusion of the Infinity Saga. So, if they ever release more sets from the current phases, they‘ll likely only do so after Secret Wars. Big „if“, since the Multiverse Saga is nowhere near as popular, as we all know. That said, there are still plenty of well-liked individual movies they could revisit!

Unlikely. Mando is still popular and the sets seem to be doing well. But even if that happened, they‘d still pump out OT remakes for all eternity

JediBricks, so it can be safely ignored. How he‘s still around is beyond me. You‘d think even the most gullible people would stop believing obvious frauds after a whil… *looking at politics everywhere* …never mind

The reason I’m worried is because I’ve not seen that much hype and talk around it. Much less for skeleton crew.

It’s considerably less than for Kenobi and CW7 TBoBF. That’s for sure. And then there’s the fact that it has to compete directly with Avengers Doomsday as both come out in May.

And then the other 2026 SW movie is supposed to release a week apart from Dune: Messiah. In December.

With an apparent lack of hype and directly competing with other titans for the Box Office, when people are less inclined to go to the Cinema because of absurd ticket prices, I am scared and intrigued of what the outcome may be.

And let’s not forget the Nuclear Warhead that is Shrek 5 will be right in the middle of it (July)

Depends, Mandalorian Season 1&2 were amazing and lots of set potential, Season 3 was horrible

They never revisit Disney+ shows so

Except for Mando  Sure, they don‘t seem to go back to older seasons all that much, but we did get a UCS set based on S1 and there are two Mando sets in the January wave

The movie won‘t get released for another 1.5 years, so of course the hype isn‘t there yet. I also don‘t see any hype yet for other 2026 releases
