We will get an Endor leia in the Ewok village, unless they only give us one variation.

Its unlikely. The only time Lego has ever really given us multiple variations of the same character in a single set was the Death Star. I think a more realistic outcome would be Ewok Leia coming in the village set with Luke, Han and C-3PO, while an updated Endor Leia and Chewbacca are saved for a future Endor themed set.

As I pointed out WAY back in November, CMFS9 Forest Maiden's hair could be for an Ewok Village Leia.

The one you're referring to is the Ewok Village Leia who we all assume is coming in the rumoured village set later this year. :wink:

Endor Leia is the camo version that came in the Battle of Endor set back in 2008. We'll need an update of her at some point to fit in with the rest of the modern Leia minifigures and its unlikely we'll see her in the village set if its already coming with Ewok Leia. Thats why I'm hoping she comes in the next AT-ST release.

I'm somewhat disappointed that the grand Star Wars set this time around seems to be an Ewok Village. For me, it is baffling why we are getting an Ewok Village before a long-overdue remake of Cloud City. Cloud City is more desired and hasn't been touched upon very much recently; Endor, on the other hand, has had quite a few sets lately (but it's not in overkill territory yet). Oh well, nothing can change it. Though I do wonder what this Ewok Village will be able to give us.

What is baffling about getting a set which has not been done at all yet compared to getting a remake of something that has been done and is available through various means? TLG cant win either way... People complain of getting remakes and people complain of getting something new... What are they supposed to do?! I for one currently prefer the idea of an ewok village over cloud city stuff. But thats just me.

Bring on the Ewoks... Have the Cloud City and it's a classic. I certainly don't see myself getting another big Bespin set. I love how TLG seems to be really looking at the OT for places to fill in the gaps of what has and has not yet been done. If I had to guess, I'd say we get a more substantial cantina next year...

I'm sorry if this seems like shameless self promotion, but, I've just tried the Forest Maiden hair on my custom Ewok Village Leia and I think it looks pretty much spot on - even if I do say so myself :wink:

I think the Ewok Villiage will mostly be based on the first time we say it with teh Rebels being captured and C-3PO being honored as a god so expect the minifigs to be based off of those scenes.

There is no reason why they couldn't just throw in a couple of other characters as well (Wedge, Lando ect.) I'm sure Lego will want to milk the most out of an Ewok village as much as they can.

Agreed, plus we've never known TLG to use absolute accuracy as a reason not to include an exclusive minifig or other feature.

To answer my own question about TCW, it's wrapped up with Cartoon Network. No surprise there. It's going to continue in a different form, most likely 2 hour stories. More stories = more sets for us.

There's still so much untapped CW and EU stuff that Lego needs to jump on....

Rumor or reports seem to indicate that we will only be seeing 2 of the season 6 story arcs. even though they have voice work on the whole season completed and supposedly 4 arcs pretty much done. :cry_sad:

I still think we will see at least a few more TCW sets in the next two Lego release cycles. Lego and the other merchandise license holders have done pretty well with the various unique named clones with custom armor printing. They will be a bit annoyed to see those go without a suitable replacement from Disney/Lucas. One of the easiest and most basic "gimmie" sets for Lego to make would be an Eta-2 Jedi Interceptor in Asohka's colors from the beginning of the last story arc.

Thanks for this set preview. I am interested in everything OT and PT. Thus this might become an expensive but also rewarding wave for me. :wink:

Let's see what the price policy and following sale developments have TLG led to...

Is it just me or does anyone else think that by adding main characters into the typical army building sets, (Fett, ect.) it will force more people to buy the new battle packs, which haven't been selling as well as TLG had hoped?

I wouldn't call any of these sets army builders or battle packs. These are vehicles which include characters, like any other set. Battle packs tend to focus on generic soldiers with a small buildable element (i.e. flickfire tree) to keep Hasbro's lawyers at bay.

My buying guide. This is going to be a very expensive year, what with Lone Ranger, Castle, LOTR and Galaxy Force as well. And this isn't counting the TOR Jedi ship which is almost certainly a day one purchase for me.
