The Acolyte trailer tomorrow. 

Really curious to see if we get sets for this series, as we haven't heard anything yet.

I really hope so, you never know they might even early reveal one and make it pre-order-able, probably not though.

Tomorrow's a big day for nerds like me: Stardew Valley update, official reveal of the D&D set and now an Accolyte trailer.

[Kaijumeister]

I’ll be interested to see if the Onyx Cinder will be swapped out for some Acolyte sets in for June, especially as Skeleton Crew  still hasn’t received a release window anyway.

Guess it all depends on how communicative Lucasfilm has been with their license partners. The Acolyte’s June release has been rumoured for the past month or so so I’m sure those in the know would have been aware of this happening far back.

I’d love if they did a corridor scene from the Lucrehulk. Good chance for some droidekas 

So I’m guessing that this may be concerning the young Leia set. 

And like you said it could be the Lucrehulk hallway. (I just hope that it isn’t what the Death Star set actually is)

Or it’s going to be a podracing set. It would actually be a good price point for Anakin and Sebulba dual pack.

Ooh, yes!
And maybe a Midi-scale Lucrehulk too, some day

Concering the mentioned quote, I believe it's Qui-Gon as well. If I recall correctly, in one of the first scenes aboard the Lucrehulk.

He says it to Anakin just as the podrace is about to begin. My guess is we're getting a reveal of the diorama soon.

I feel like the podracer qoute HAS to be "Now, THIS is podracing!", right?

Renown normally communicates hints via qoutes (which is why I'm not sure he's talking about the TPM diorama qoute), and his information is normally stuff that hasn't been leaked by others yet. Given how slow it's been recently, it's possible he's just hinting at upcoming dates or the qoute, but I also think it's possible there's another TPM set coming.

One might have figured.

It’s a good line, but it also doesn’t  happen in the scene the set is depicting, so I can’t imagine they’d choose that.

Neither does “Remember, concentrate on the moment. Feel. Don't think. Use your instincts.” So that’s a moot point.

So it probably is just alluding to the Podracing set leaking/ being revealed very soon. Or a leak of another PM set, perhaps even being the young Leia set.

Either way I just want an update on the figs and features of the summer wave soon.

Oh, huh... My bad 

I'm very curious as to whatever it might be about, now  

Hopefully a reveal soon!

Qui-Gon says that to Anakin immediately before the podrace, so it basically happens in the same scene. “Now THIS is podracing!” doesn’t happen until the Battle of Naboo when Anakin is flying the N1.

The acolyte trailer just dropped. Are we absolutely sure that there isn’t a September wave with Acolyte sets this year?

IIRC there are at least a couple of unknown September sets. So we can only hope.

Is it possible that the Jedi Bob’s starfighter is actually the star fighter we saw in the trailer as most of the Jedi look generic?

[icm]

We can only hope that one of the Jedi in The Acolyte is named Bob au-Jedhi.

[Llewop]

The trailer for the acolyte looks interesting hoping we get some sets. Don’t know if it’s spoilery but I hope Lego actually do the proper yellow/orange light sabre blades at some point especially if a main character from this show has one

I doubt it. None of the sets based on newer content have had 25th anniversary stuff. And the fact that the leakers all call it Jedi Bob's starfighter does imply pretty heavily that it's named that- it's not like they'd see some random hooded jedi in the prelim and default to "it's jedi bob!"

The Acolyte trailer has me very cautiously optimistic. From what they show of the hopefully main character, the long-haired guy, he seems awesome. And it is nice to see lightsabers and jedi again out in force. But still a few things that worry me- the "it's not about good and bad, it's about who's in power" line better not be part of some attempt to make the dark side sympathetic- the jedi order wasn't perfect, but the sith are supposed to be the ultimate evil. And that last scene kinda tells us that every single jedi present is dying or there'll be a big canon error. 

That said, regardless of show quality, we didn't get a good look at much set material. The crashing ship is the only thing I can think of that they'd do.

[Big_Daddy]

I'd say it's a bit early to tell if I want an Acolyte wave since we haven't seen any episodes yet, but who knows? The trailer did nothing for me sadly.

[Old Master]

Having the recent Red and Gold leader figs in hand in addition to having the pilot from the 75162 microfighter, it's really a shame Luke's pilot helmet doesn't get the side printing these others do - especially considering how similar the microfighter pilot's helmet is! Hopefully that's fixed in the upcoming mech this summer... 

Which btw, do you think since the Captain Rex is supposed to be 1:1 from the Venator for that micofighter, the Luke mech will feature the UCS version? I don't think the chance is 0 given that it's the only current Red Five Luke in production

Agreed, it is a bit strange. I don't have 75162, but I do have 75032, and that helmet doesn't have proper side printing, but given that its from 2014, it definitely shows that the modern Luke Skywalker figure should have a helmet better than it.

I'm pretty sure it was confirmed that the luke coming in the mech won't be the same as the UCS pilot luke, I think it was going to have different legs? I forget where I heard it I think it was on this forum a few weeks back

[Lego Nostalgia]

Any chance of an unknown set in September being BBS 3 ? Commander Wolffe would be nice

Lol, this is only gonna fire people up more about the "exclusivity," or lack thereof, of this Rex figure if it is the exact same.

Dude I'm making sure to have the popcorn ready for the Instagram and YouTube meltdown reviews of the microfighter 😁
