LEGO Star Wars 2011 Pictures & Rumors

[Brickdoctor]

I apologize greatly for going back to this but it is the last time (I hope).

I myself now have no doubt that *You know who's* Information is wrong. The information is just so wrong (Well to tell the truth not as wrong as MasterWindu's information.)

I mainly got doubtful of *His claimed pictures* when I once again asked him and he refused to even answer which was the first time.

I realized myself that I had become very sceptic of *That guy on Facebook's information* so I realized I had to sort it out, So I asked Greg Hyland to tell me in a way that would not be saying whether it was the truth or a lie by *That guy on Facebook* and Greg Replied:

Can't answer. But that list makes me laugh.

Great. Now that that's dealt with, we can stop discussing it.

I assume whatever's on the South African site is still considered confirmed for now?

Those would be cool, but probably non-existent... But there is a Geonosis set coming out, so there might be even more, with more Geonosians!

I don't see how different a zombie edition would be, other than maybe recoloring the eyes.

Hmmm

I for one hope that TLG turns its back on pupils on figs I don't like them they make the figs too detailed and not Legoie enough. I might have mentioned this once or twice (13 times that I can remember ) but I much prefer old Lego SW (1999-about 2002) and pupils (along with technic, endless amounts of characters, and some CW) are responsible for the 'megablockification' of Lego IMO.

Same here, although I have to disagree with you on Technic, I think it opens much more possibilities for the model.

Like in the Twilight, the technic in that closed off so many possibilities in the model, the first thing it did was quite literally close off part of the model. I.e. the huge spacious cargo bay was completely filled with a pointless technic landing gear.

True, but sometimes the technic can really help! Like on the AT-AT set.

Okay, fine. What I meant was that using Technic could open up more possibilities, it's not my fault that TLG used it in the wrong way.

[The_Customizer]

Well, as I just said, like the AT-AT had them used very well! But there was also the Star Wars technic models that were cool as well!

Sorry, we posted at the same time and I didn't see yours. Mindstorms used Technic well, too.

Well Brickdoctor it could if TLC used it responsibly and The_Customizer yes the technic models where good and I would like to see more of them in 2011 or 2012 (BTW would they count as action figures and infringe on Hasbro's rights?) I presume by AT-AT you mean the motorized one, if so then I suppose you could be right.

I think we can trust the South African site but I still need pictures to be totally sure

Hmmm it seems to Me that the SA site has some sets in common with *HIM* but They have set numbers, nothing to prove, or fool, so even without pics, for now, I am willing to believe them. I wonder if the Falcon is ANH, ESB, or ROTJ?

This may not end up being accurate but here is my Theory: The reson they brought back the Falcon was to use it in the Movie they had not used it as a set in, they have not made a ROTJ Falcon so I assume it will be a ROTJ One.

[lightningtiger]

I too would like to see an MF from ROTJ, but here's a thought....what if the MF appears in a later episode of Clone Wars eh ?

It is an old ship remember and Slave One made it's appearance at the end of series 2 CW so......?

May the brick be with you !

Hmm yes I suppose so. The problem I made was I thought that all the MF where ESB sets, but I forgot to look at the figs on the first version so my mistake. Yes i think it must be a ROTJ set. Hopefully it will follow the lines f the previous two and not the UCS one.

It is possible I did think of that but at the time of The Clone Wars the Ship Was Lando's and not Han Solo's

It was owned by a pair who ran a shipping company, if memory serves me correctly. One guy and one girl as crew and with dk. blue highlights. Read Millenium Falcon by James Luceno for more.

Without having read any of the back story novels or comics, I would say that Han and Lando would only be 10 - 15 years old at the end of the Clone Wars, when Luke and Leia were born, therefore too young to even own/pilot a ship like the Falcon. Also, Han can't be too old by the time E4 happens or else he'd almost be a cradle snatcher for dating the young Princess.

And the Falcon, although a YT 1300, could well be a very different ship to the one we all know. Dark blue highlights, you say? And the rest, I'd wager. It was probably nice and shiny once upon a time.

Happy birthday of mine.

From my memory Lando owned it around the time Luke and Leia were born but lost it gambling to Han.

They Messed around with Greedo's age for the Clone wars so why would they not do the same with Han or Lando?

I read the book, you know.

By 29 BBY, the vessel was both owned and used secretly by members of the Senate and Jedi, as part of an organization known as the Republic Group.[9] Tobb Jadak and Reeze Duurmun became the primary crew of the ship — known then as the Stellar Envoy — for the next decade. In 19 BBY, the ship was present during the Battle of Coruscant, landing at the Republic Executive Building docking bay on Coruscant shortly before the shuttle that brought Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to safety[26][20] after their crash landing in the nose of the Invisible Hand.

Lando did lose the Falcon to Han, but how old were they at this time? If they were 18 at this time, it would make them about 36 come E4 and 5, which means Han is about twice as old as Leia.

Greedo would have been about 10 in E1, making him about 20 by the time of E2 and about 40 by the time he dies in E4. I haven't seen the clone wars cartoon series. How old is he in that?

A reason they might not play about with age for Lando and Han but would for Greedo, is that Greedo is alien and could be any age to our eyes. I said he's about 10 in E1, but could have been 5 or 27. How fast to Rodians mature? And playing around with Han and Lando's age would be difficult as they are human and we know what a certain age group looks like. Han and Lando don't look much over 30 - 35 in any film they are in. So I say they are younger than 18 at the end of the Clone wars.

[BrickArtist]

Han could be twice leias age, luke and leia were born at the same time, and lukes like, 20? in ANH, so if han was 40 at that point the timeline would fit right?

Sorry for off topic, but Han was born 29 BBY, and the twins 19 BBY, so Han is 10 years older.

On topic now, I don't really care which MF we get, as long as it is a nice and sturdy build with an interior.

Agreed, besides, did you guys even read my previous post?

Oh I have a bad feeling about this that the ARF trooper helmet will not be opened and the eye thingy is just printed black (since they have to put the creepy clone face inside). I would've personally preferred an actual opening (like the AT-AT driver, ARC-170 pilot, Biker scout). That's why I think Arealight's version is better than this one.

You know, I was just kidding...

Wouldn't the printed visor actually be better, since the helmet won't look weird when it's not being worn? (Greg's comic aside.) One of the things about the older Phase II clone minifigure helmets was the fact that the cut for the visor was in a particularly thick section of the helmet so it looked quite odd from the side. There was a similar problem with this in the original Phase I clone minifigures in that the visor's T-shape wasn't particularly well represented. I guess that a redeeming factor of the current Neo-Clone Wars craze is the introduction of more accurate Phase I clone minifigures (though the removal of the lip on the bottom bothers me a bit).

A Stellar Envoy would make an interesting LEGO set, don't you think?

Last time I checked AT-AT driver helmet was completely closed?

IMO people might think an open ARF helmet might look to much like a biker scour.
