Soooo... looking at the symbols next to the mystery figure they line up with "Cybernetic" and "Loyal" from the other characters.That certainly leans towards Saw for me.

Great catch. Definitely down for a brand new character in Lego form over a variation of Ezra

Based on the hair piece I bet it’s Skad.

It also has a star, which could mean “Leader” maybe?

Imagine the sail barge comes with an Ezra anniversary figure

Nice work! Definitely Saw in my eyes, now.

Skad is also the leader of the Mods,a Rebel,and Cybernetic.

If those symbols mean the same thing across figures, this is indeed a solid case for Saw  There aren't that many cyborg rebels out there! Cautiously optimistic now!

The hair piece doesn’t match ANY of Saw’s appearances from any media. If he were bald or had a bigger hair piece I would agree 100% that it’s Saw but that hair piece isn’t it and I don’t see any armor piece.

Anakin’s hairpiece looks like the Hobbit one to me 🤔

As someone else had already stated, the silhouette is meant to be a placehilder and not an actual representation of the figure included.

The silhouette of the Scimitar itself hase me very excited as it appears to be a decent size though I am concerned it might be blockier than I would like for modern rendition of the ship. Of course I will withold judgement intil we see the whole thing. It’s already promising that it appears Qui-Gon has a poncho(and perhaps increases the likelihood Cal will get one). The possibility of Saw Garerra potentially coming with set makes it even more exciting.

Are they not just using a regular/generic minifigure placeholder?

[Legofan2001]

FYI I do not WANT the figure to be Skad (mods were the worst part of Book of Boba) also you need Drash to go with Skad but everything is pointing towards it being Skad currently.

There's no real evidence its skad at all really. I'm finding the arguments for saw or ezra more convincing. Hoping for saw personally.

The argument for Skad is that the silhouette,cybernetic,loyal,and rebel with a cause.

There’s nothing about any of the other anniversary characters that suggest Skad. Nobody cares about Skad. Granted, Young Leia is not a favourite, but it is Princess Leia. Skad is literally a nobody, quite frankly. Look, if I’m wrong I’ll buy you the set and post it to you for free.

I feel as though it has to be Saw. The cybernetics symbol already narrows it down quite a bit. I’m also fairly certain the silhouette is just a generic placeholder since it doesn’t have any weapons.

It's the newer style of Harry Potter hair

This definitely points to the innate advantage Lego has over other ‘types’ of toys. Outside of needing to produce the occasional new mould / part in a new colour, you can use the same system of bricks and still develop a vast product portfolio; dioramas, helmets, UCS / MBS, system-scale, and now these midi-scale ships. In some ways Lego has it easier than most companies to experiment.

This is an excellent point. I don't have much more to add but I do want to acknowledge it since we don't have an upvote system & this certainly merits it.

I don't know if the geometry between clips and hands is too different for it to count, but arguably any minifig holding a tile. Off the top of my head I know the Saturn V rocket had the flag tile between two studs, which is similarly legal for tiles and not plates. I'm sure it has been seen before though - I have a feeling that some Architecture sets use the clip and tile connection but couldn't say for sure.

I believe the technique only becomes illegal if you're using it to connect other pieces together.

I don't remember the 1st "controversy" but the TLG community has had it a few times.

So far for the anniversary figures we have 

TCW

KOTOR

Kenobi

 Fallen Order

 If we’re getting two more it would make sense if they’re from 

Rebels and any of the following

Tales of the Jedi

Book of Boba Fett

Holiday Special

Resistance (unlikely IMO)

Bad Batch (unlikely IMO)

Another way of looking at it might be era amd/or media. So far we'd have these, then:

- Lucas-era TV: TCW

- Lucas-era Gaming: KOTOR Malik

- Disney-era TV: Kenobi

- Disney-era Gaming: Fallen Order

If TLG is casting as wide a net as possible, other potential categories could include

- Literature (Novels/Comics): White Vader? (Potentially too niche of a category for Lucas-era vs. Disney-era.)

- OG OT-era TV: Holiday Special Boba Fett? (Likely too niche, though, I do expect them to make that minifigure eventually.)

- Disney-era TV (Animation): Ezra from Rebels? (They could have both Live Action & Animation for Disney era since there's been so much more content.)

- Non-Skywalker Saga Films: Saw from Rogue One?

Not to beat a dead horse but I certainly I hope not.

The rest of the guesses so far would be welcome possibilities - especially Saw & Ezra.

Ezra is the one character from the show that really does need the late season look. We already have Kanan & the rest of the crew is close enough as-is. (Sabine would be nice but I'm fine without.) It'd be amazing if they could pull off his crazy-colored Scout Trooper helmet too but, well, I won't take the conversation back there hahah. Maybe when/if they ever create a Scout Trooper helmet mold that flips open. For now, I just have Ezra in a standard Scout Trooper disguise to represent his late season appearance.

As someone who is a big fan of the Book of Boba Fett, and likes the Mod bikers, I completely agree. There’s like a dozen characters just in BOBF that would be better options.

Okay, so just to put it all together, our current confirmed by LEGO or reliable leakers knowledge of Anniversary figures in 2024 is:

1. Arc Trooper Fives in "Boarding the Tantive IV" (Revealed)

2. Darth Malak in "R2-D2" (Revealed)

3. Cal Kestis in "'Death Star Playset'" (Rumored by leakers)

4. Young Leia in an unknown set, which is potentially a buildable creature (Rumored by leakers)

5. *Rebel with a cause* [most likely Saw Gerrera] in "Sith Infiltrator" (Teased by LEGO)

6. Unknown figure in an unknown set, likely an additional figure in a set we already know about (Teased by LEGO)

7. Unknown figure in the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary (Mentioned in description, figure unknown)

Despite being referred to as one by many Jedi Bob is definitely not part of the Anniversary figure lineup due to the nature of his set, sane with all of the figures in the Dark Falcon fitting too well to be Anniversary figures. In addition, from the four known figure placements so far every Anniversary figure seems to come in a set based on the Saga films, meaning there are four known sets the sixth figure could be included in:

1. Buildable C-3PO

2. Buildable Droideka

3. X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter

4. Escape from the Sarlacc Pit

My money's on that last one, though I feel any of them could fit the bill with the possible exception of C-3PO, as that set is rumored to be 18+.

I wouldn’t really call him a Rebel. (I mean he sort of is, but that’s not the meaning that would be used in a Star Wars context)

The last two have unknown figures rumoured so most likely than not it will be one of those two. Pretty sure the Skiff set has Luke and a Weequay which wasn’t originally rumoured but has been now by reputable leakers. (Sith infiltrator proved though it could be anything). So I’m almost convinced the X-Wing vs Tie will have the final figure, if we assume there isn’t one in Bob’s SF or the Dark Falcon.

I didn't pay much attention to the upcoming book exclusive minifig before, but if it's in the same style as the 6 anniversary figures, I'm listening  I'm still not expecting a super-detailed new character here, but maybe it's also a highly-requested variant? 

[legoturtle]

Hello all,

Are all these rounded bricks, prints? ... BECAUSE if they are stickers I have to pass this amazing set :/
