The L3-GO droid doesn't look too bad as a random droid although maybe a blue dome would be a bit more traditional primary LEGO colours. And White Vader is nice. But I won't be buying the sets.
ngl the x-fighter looks sick

I assume the current colour scheme is a reference to the colours in the LEGO logo.
Shooters of Tie Fighter look terrible. The proportions of the ship are better than last time, but the feature from the tv show destroys it.

I get where your idea comes from but I think its color scheme comes from the LEGO Logo, which does not contain any blue.

The first thing that comes into mind is not the Lego logo but McDonalds
The dark facon is definitely a day one buy
Darth Jar Jar is canon isn't it
I hope the White Vader turns up as a key fob figure.
Can't wait to get the Dark Falcon and discover all the secrets and easter eggs it's hiding!
Beach Luke? No, I know The Dude when I see him!
I’m guessing Darth Dev is an original character like Yesi and Sib?
Funny that L3-GO does not follow the model or type of the previous L3 droid we've seen in the films, which was not an astromech...and her name was a joke too! I also like the other in-jokes. Yesi SCALA? Sib GREEBLING?
The concept of White Vader seems to have been taken from the Infinities retelling of Return of the Jedi.
So, how does tie-wing fly without engines?
The nose on that X-wing looks good. Only took them 20 years to go back to a hexagonal build.
Also this the first Original Trilogy (T-65) X-wing that's explicitly not Luke's Red 5.
That Black Falcon looks great!
Plus some of those figs are sweet, particularly the white Vader and beach Luke!
Will pick this up at some stage
I really like the interior of the Dark Falcon. The holo-table seems to have been replaced by a video game system!
Also love the sith throne for Darth Jar -Jar.
White Vader will go nicely with https://brickset.com/minifigs/sw0763/snow-chewbacca and https://brickset.com/minifigs/sw0631/boba-fett-white-detailed-pattern but otherwise I've got no interest in these sets.
love the Kitbash set, will buy it once it drops below 70€

No, the Lego animated shows are not considered canon. And the one that Darth Jar Jar is taken from is like a SW version of "What If?" so it's definitely not canon.

The trailer captions actually confirms that his name is SIG Greebling, not Sib. But I'm still pretty sure that Sig is a reference to Sig-Figs, i.e. minifigures that LEGO fans use to represent themselves
Interesting about Yesi Scala, I wonder if they'll do a Nada Belville?

Terrible!
I like that there's a Tie Fighter and an X-Wing in the same set. That's great value right there. I wish it was a more standard colored droid though, but you can't win them all!
@Tuzi said:
"Darth Jar Jar is canon isn't it"
It is in my head. It's the only way I find him watchable in the prequel flicks.

Slowly
Gonna stand by my comments in the reveal thread. The builds are kinda meh, but the sets are gonna get scalped to heck just because of the figures.
The shaping of the nose of the x-wing is pretty nice. It looks a bit wide at the top in some images, but generally I think that's the best nose design they've done

If it's not, it should be. Makes more sense for the sequels than 'Somehow Palpatine Returned' / the Snoke meat puppet!
L3GO Looks like McDonalds…
Can’t wait for these sets probably will wait for a discount or double VIP week to buy though. To finally be able to have Darth Jar Jar will be cool.
In the Legends canon these were called “Uglies”
Okay, I really want that Beach Luke torso and legs. They look like they might be generic enough for wider usage. While less likely because Star Wars, I hope I can pick them up individually on Bricklink down the road. Shame these are such pricey sets.

Very badly. In the Legends (original pre-Disney) canon, the X-Tie-Fighter was a legit thing scrapped together from parts, but they flew really poorly and were considered “barely spaceworthy”. They were primarily used by the Corellian Defense Force after the initial fall of the empire, cobbled together in their shipyards (along with other variants), but they didn’t last long in combat since the only weapons they’d have would be replacing the X-Wing’s body-mounted photon torpedo launchers with laser cannons.
Even worse arguably was the TYE-Wing fighters, which had the ball cockpit of the Tie Fighter (and thus no shield generator) and the slow-as-molasses engines of a Y-Wing. Those were so bad that Rogue Squadron canonically referred to them as “die-wings”.

I'm on the fence for this two-pack, but if they also did a TIE Interceptor / Y-wing two-pack, then I'd need all of them.

Seriously, if you're going to attempt to cause trouble by mocking someone, at least don't make yourself look an idiot while doing it.
Looks like they have a PS5 with the disc drive on the Dark Falcon.
They will be cool for kids, and the minifigures are fun. Honestly my biggest complaint is that the Millennium Falcon is just a black version of the one from Rise of Skywalker. At least the X-Wing and Tie Fighter are original designs.
I'm still getting the X-wing and tie fighter set
Like this comment if you are too >
Dark Falcon?
Whatever...
@Huw @capnrex101 :
Why is the main image for every set one with a white background?
Like, the X-wing and tie fighter box looks stunning.
I would much prefer a box image. Do you have a reason as to why you do this?
I’m very confused right now. I have not kept up with Lego for months, are they moving toward incorporating original stuff in licensed sets now?

MC-DS if you want to be obvious about it, but if you figure out M11-8, I think that’ll be hard to top.

L3 was originally an astromech droid who customized herself until she became what we see in the movie. So Lego was accidentally right giving this droid the L3 name.
In the U.S., LEGO has these two sets available on pre order. I just ordered them and ordered some minifigures so I could get the free GWP.

LEGO has been doing periodic specials for over a decade. This was the first, from 2013: https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Star-Wars/subtheme-The-Yoda-Chronicles
this was the second from 2016 - 2017: https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Star-Wars/subtheme-The-Freemaker-Adventures
...and it goes on from there. Also It's all connected together in one timeline.
What a revolutionary function to detach the wings and swap them between TIE and X-wing lol.
And they didn't even bother to make any kind of alternate build for the MF.
These sets are only cash grabs due to the minifigs, which nobody asked for in the first place.
Is this upcoming show expected to be a big hit compared to the other Star Wars shows that have not received sets?

Lol, it was gentle ribbing with a classic and beloved movie quote. Let's simmer down.
Please also note that I never identified which word was in question. I could very well have been addressing your use of "kinda meh" as being "kinda meh."
But no, I was indeed addressing your scalping concern.
These 2 sets will be WIDELY available to anyone and everyone, likely for at least a year if not longer.
The idea that resellers will immediately buy up the millions of available units for resell at significant markup is literally inconceivable. :o)

There are numerous reasons, but the main ones are that box images do not always show the whole contents of the set and product images against the white background are available for all modern sets, whereas flat box images are only available sometimes.
Box images and more are always added to the database though.

Now, now. Let's not argue about who killed who.
It's supposed to be a happy occasion!!
Finally, SW Lego isn't giving us the same ol' crap. Well, they kinda are, but it's better than nothing, and we apparently have to applaud their lil' baby steps toward a wee bit o' effort to greedily scoop up our hard-earned ducats. ;)

You're killing me!
Is that dialogue from Darth Jar Jar?
Geez, I just really like the shaping on the X-Wing's fuselage. I think this is the first time we've seen such a successful attempt to capture the hexagonal shaping at minifigure-scale. Bravo to the designer.
They both look great. Sadly I dont really need the dark falcom so not sure I'll get it. But it would be a cool display piece. The interchanging Tie and X-Wing also look fun. But cant justify getting either. I rather prefer my 2017 Tie and the latest budget Red-5 we got a couple years back over these. But if these were handed to me as a kid as my first Star Wars I think I would've been addicted even more. I am sure these will bring plenty of smiles to young fans of Star Wars.
Beach Luke looks like every mugshot I've ever seen in true crime stories about "area Florida man arrested for...."
Dark Falcon is definitely intriguing even without the mix of included minifigures. Without going back to scrutinize it, this version reminds me a lot of 75257 with the way the fuselage panels open. The white knight Vader makes it **chef's kiss**.
I need to double check but I think Sig Greebling might be the name of my accountant. He looks like he would drive a pimped out version of something like a TIE-Wing.

Aw, snap!
The Dude abides!
"Bounty Hunter C-3PO"
I know C-3PX when I see him.
I quite like these sets. Pleased to hear both Ahmed Best & Mark Hamill cast as voice actors for the show.
And just noticed Luke's minifig torso has what looks like the pendant Anakin made for Padme around his neck... ahhh.

Jedi Bob has been matched to the look of an actual Jedi character seen (extremely briefly) during the arena assault in Ep2, so fully canon by any measure.

Not sure about the 'real' Star Wars character, but L3-GO was also the name of one of the robot models from the 1999 Star Wars Droid Developer Kit from Mindstorms.
I also think I've seen those X-Wing/TIE mash-up things in legends a long time ago, just can't remember the name (I think it was something funny though...)
@Atuin:
I don’t know if they showed up in any comics, video games, or other form of visual media, but in the novels they were called Uglies. Funny thing is, I only remember them referencing two specific combos, so the “die-wing” referenced earlier had a TIE bubble with Y-Wing nacelles, but there was no corresponding Y-Wing with TIE panels that I recall. And there was an X-Wing with TIE panels, but no TIE bubble with X-Wing wings. TIE Fighters were the only spacecraft that could be rebuilt from this mix by reclaiming components from canon Uglies, after which I guess you could mount the Y-Wing nacelles on the X-Wing body.
@PurpleDave said:
"after which I guess you could mount the Y-Wing nacelles on the X-Wing body."
That actually sounds better than any of the other combinations on multiple levels.

Matched to the look of an onscreen character, maybe, but that doesn't mean he was intended to represent that character, as every other Jedi minifig ever released was explicitly identified as being that character somewhere; it wasn't just left to the fans to figure out who they were.
Zander Freemaker has been keeping busy, I see.
(In the TV show 'The Freemaker Adventures', Zander made Uglies as a hobby using spare parts from the repair shop his family owns.)

Makes me wonder if any of the characters from The Freemaker Adventures will cameo in Rebuild the Galaxy.
Do we know, who Dev is?
Uglies!
...the type of ship. I wasn't insulting these, they look great! And the Dark Falcon looks like a fun version of that elseworlds comic series. And we get both a Darth Jar Jar and a Darth Rey!

Lego does like to bring back their original characters…
