Its an interesting choice, but its the sort of minifigure that wouldn't get made otherwise.
Its intriguing they didn't put in a classic yellow fig as with the last version
Drippy Finn <3
I think they should've waited until after Star Wars IX, but... Whatever.
^ That will be the New New Edition!
I thought this was Willrow Hood for a second.
Aaaaaaaaaaaannnnd it sucks.
The best scene of the movie!
Also the fifth time I grimaced my first viewing. At least the Praetorians were cool?
And the crowd goes mild.
Queue umpteen requests for Nien Nunb
I’d like to see Aunt Beru.
Nope, the Praetorians weren't cool. Kept randomly throwing their weapons to one side and why would you bother to fight after your masters death? They were Praetorians not Samurai
I have a Luke Skywalker minifig in a similar outfit, (from episode 5) and other than the hairpiece, I can’t say I’ve ever gotten any use out of him. (Either play value, or display value)
I feel like this minifig would be the same way.
As for other minifigs that could go in books... I don’t know. DC seems to put a lot of wanted characters in books, but the majority of Star Wars characters typically go in their sets, (or have in the past) and I don’t know who outside of the original EU they could put in that wouldn’t be similar to this one.
I hope, in the future... (since they’ll likely never put in original EU characters, which I’ve learned to accept) that they’ll put in characters that haven’t been in a set in a while and are do for an upgrade. (I’d give Episode 1 Padme for an example if she wasn’t going to be in a set this year)
I already have two editions of the LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary, so this one I will not buy. The Finn minifigure isn't appealing either.
I didn't like the yellow-headed Luke in the updated and expanded visual dictionary, but I did like the celebration-outfit Luke in the original one.
I would like Shaak Ti, Eeth Koth or Evem Piell from the old Jedi Order. These characters only exist as Clone Wars versions, I seriously miss them as normal SW figures (with normal face and eyes).
One armed Ponda Colne Marshal Commander Cody with phase II armor.
The scene in the movie wasn't funny, it was undignified. I feel for Boyega, he seems like a great guy, but his character got the short end of the stick in LJ.
If I'm to be honest this figure is quite meh but I have some interests into the actual book as I believe its an update to the 2014 The Visual Dictionary book that I loved so much I have even reviewed it here Brickset, don't feel pressured to read it :)
@mr_skinny I won't deny that. Even that part of the film was quite flawed, but relative to the rest of the Praetorians were pretty neat. (At least in concept.)
I don't mind this one. Unique and when else would it be made. I wouldve liked to see EpVIII Luke in his projection form from Krait though.
I want a Bail Organa figure.
How about a non-canon Darth Bane (much better than now-canon Darth Bane)? Or Darth Krayt? Or ABELOTH (not sure if she's really canon or not - probably yes since Mortis is as part of the Clone Wars)?
I have several minifigs that could of been used instead of this lego, for instance :
Mace windu or leia in the bounty hunter outfit would of been better, or the black BB8..
Boring fig, boring character.
I think this character is a good choice since I doubt it will ever be in a set.
A character I really hope to see in a future LEGO Star Wars book or just in a set for that matter is Nien Numb or Armiral Ackbar.
That one's an easy pass.
It’s just so meh. Star Wars has been for so long now. It’s been way too long since the theme has genuinely wowed me.
Great choice for a minifigure, as it was unlikely to ever be made otherwise. Like others have said though, we need an Aunt Beru!
Clone snow trooper from Ep3
Great way to relive that cringy moment from the Last Jedi. Next they should make a space-Leia minifig!
These book figs are always so disappointing. I always hope we will get something exclusive like Taun We, Lama Su, Boss Nass, Bail Organa, Zam Wesell, Tion Medon, Mas Amedda, Wat Tambor, etc. only to be disappointed when they release some boring variant. Only figs I've liked were the Han and Luke with medallions from episode 4.
No interest to me as I find Finn the most boring character from the new trilogy and the bacta suit a rather pointless scene. Still, guess its nice for the collectors that have to have everything.
Tough crowd.
They should have killed off his character in EPVII - lame.
This is an easy list to make because of the importance of these minifugres in their movies or media. Darth Malak (They made Revan), Darth Bane, Durge, Darth Plagueis, Rahm Kota (They made star killer), Saw Gerrera, Wat Tambor, Bail Organa, and Aunt Beru. I cannot believe Lego has not made these Minifigures, although I admit some will be hard, because of new parts.
Lame!
I hardly remember that movie, but to be fair I did fall asleep through most of it.
With that said I think the figure looks good, but likely not one I HAVE to have at the present moment.
I quite like it... not my favourite for sure... But will be a nice addition to my sequel trilogy collection.
I’d like to see that hunchback Clone or Imperial Spy
Good looking figure but they could have also done an a new clone wars Ahsoka (not with the big Clone Wars eyes though)
Galen Erso minifig please Lego, he's a key character in the storyline!!!
A good choice as it does very well to deter me from spending any money on this new edition.
Not a great fig and surely they should have waited until after the ep IX sets are released.
Brilliant!
@Wavelength
Jesus. I guess. These guys trigger easily.
I like it. They didn't have to include a minifig but they did. Already have it in pre-order on Amazon.
Hmm, that's a step down from McQuarrie Boba Fett.
