LEGO Star Wars 2015 Pictures and Rumors

[Kelso]

I'm in the UK but I'm up to date now thanks to various 'helpful' sites.

I also make use of various helpful sites.

I'm not sure how far they have aired in the Netherlands, but I won't watch it because it's dubbed in Dutch..

edit: sorry for going off topic.

Could we possibly see new rebel tanks or combat speeders in Lego sets?

I think we've pretty much had the main vehicles and characters that have appeared in Rebels... the main Imperial craft have been the troop carriers (yes I know it was a piddly little effort but we got it nonetheless) and the AT-DP along with the TIE Advanced Prototype. The regular SW TIE is the same as the rebels version and the Gozanti pretty much finishes it off (we can always include 75055 for the Star Destroyer).

The Ghost and the Phantom were pretty much it except for the final episode with regards to Rebels... I'm sure we'll get a Tarkin at some point as well as the 2 characters that appeared in the end of the final episode... hopefully with a nice new version of the Blockade Runner.

I think 2015 will have given us everything we could have expected for what has appeared in the show.. for me it makes the Wookie Gunship seem like an odd inclusion but whether that's something we'll see more of in the future series only time will tell.

It just hit me! What if the episode 7 troop transport ends up being the one from the original trilogy and rebels cartoon?

That's why I download them in English.

Just watched the last one yesterday.

[Legopls]

Guys, this may interest you. In the video you get to see the interior of the Imperial Shuttle Tydirium.

[Darth Punk]

Yes that video has been posted several times including once in the last day or so.

The Troop Transport (you mean this one right? https://sp.yimg.com/ib/th?id=HN.608016139503141352&pid=15.1&P=0) never appeared in the original trilogy. It was a toy in the late 70's and appeared in a Marvel comic. That was it....until it re-appeared in Rebels.

Yeah, next year I expect we'll get Sato and some of Phoenix Squadron pilots in a few sets... a McQuarrie A-wing maybe... the Blockade Runner-ish cruiser they've got (that was also in TCW, I think?). In the show I expect we'll see the Wookiee Gunship again, if only as a repainted ship used by others.

Do you mean the Pelta-class Frigate?

No, he is referring to the CR90 corvette. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/CR90_corvette/Canon

As featured recently. Bail Organa's cr90 was the Tantive IV, the ship at the beginning of ANH.

My bad, I missed out on that ship last time so a new one would be great. And it would probably have a different color scheme.

Sorry, I was referring to the one ship the empire used to drop the Sand troopers in episode IV

.....A Stormtrooper transport was never confirmed......

Overall, the coverage is good. In fact, it would have been excellent, if one just took the first few episodes into account.

However Lego could have given us a Sentinel-class shuttle (with Tarkin, two black-pauldron stormtroopers, and crewmen) and/or the corvette (with you know who), to complete the cover of the later episodes. Also some buildings would have been nice, like the academy or the abandoned Senate building. (I realize that such scenary sets are less attractive, though).

It is likely that the Sentinel shuttle would have clashed with the Tydirium, and from what I have seen, Lego probably did not have much insight into the later episodes anyway. So I understand why we are not getting them. And it is ok, seeing we got some very good sets already. I just fear for the future. With TFA around, and "classic" films still going strong, I doubt Lego will invest as much into Rebels in 2016 as they invested into TCW sets back then.

... which would be a shame. The plans for season 2 sound really exiting. So I hope my fears are unfounded.

And I want a Rebels' style Vader, to go along with my Rebels' style troopers.

[Robianco]

I don't see them dropping Rebels so quickly, in fact I think a CR90 is probably the most likely set we'll get... Especially as the Tydirium would have clashed with the transport shuttle... We're getting very close to the OT now and the timing would suggest the Death Star is an imminent project so there may be a real overlap with the vehicle designs from there.

I'm kind of expecting them to expand away from Lothal and that may bring us some more local specific vehicles etc but the Imperials I kind of expect to have regular OT vehicles and transports.

How Lego assigns sets to this will be a juggling act between them and Disney but I fully expect them to release the 2 rebel characters at the end and for me that points to the CR90 as the most likely answer.

I'm really excited for the Season 2 sets because I think we'll get more of a variety of military vehicles. Between the rebel alliance and the Empire, we've only gotten the famous vehicles: X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Y-Wing, etc. So maybe now, we'll get some more obscure ships (IFT-T and ACC-1 please!)

[Cyberfounder]

Didn't we get an IFT-T some time back?

[Clone 01354 Productions]

.....But I wasn't collecting back then. And I mean the Imperial version (grey and blue). What we got was the IFT-X.

If they don't appear in Season 2 they could possibly come as battlefront 3 sets.

Oh man, I completely forgot about Battlefront 3! Although I doubt that they'll make sets specifically based off of it, it is possible......and if they did, it would be amazing.

Well, here's the full reason: I hated the Inquisitor minifig, and I was only going to buy him because

he WAS a main villain. Now, though, he's not going to play any more role in the story. Since I didn't like the minifig, and the Inquisitor will have no more appearances in the show (or maybe in a set), I just don't feel like I need to buy it anymore.

Not a chance The Inquisitor doesn't come back one way or another. The last thing he says is some things are worse than death, or something to that effect. He is foreshadowing his own horrible rebirth as a Frankenstein-type monster, much like Grevious and Vader. Palpatine loves to do this sort of thing. Plus, maybe whatever The Inquisitor's new form is may well last well into the scope of being featured in the Sequel Trilogy as well.

The question I'm wondering is, how long until we see The Inquisitor Mark II in an upcoming LEGO set on this board, the WOLF releases. Is he going to be gangley and spidery like Grevious or entombed like Vader? I imagine maybe he would look the same but he would always wear his flight helmet for the TIE advanced set to hide his disfigurements from plunging into the exploding engines.

Did anyone else who saw Fire Across The Galaxy think this?

I think the season finale also explains a bit why we get Sabine with that Imperial Troop Carrier set.

The thing worst than death is the wrath of Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine.

While the fate worse than death refers to the punishment he has to expect, it would make sense. I don't think anyone ever really dies in this universe. If Maul came back, he could do so as well. However Filoni speaks about the death of the Inquisitor, and I assume he is really dead. On the other hand he said: "The Inquisitor and his effect on Kanan is probably not over.". So I see a chance that he'll be back in one way or the other. And I am dead sure that we'll get more media exploring the background of the Inquisitor.

When do we get to see this Sith Infiltrator I kept reading about? I keep coming back to check but the topic has transitioned to things that might or might not happen in Rebels.
