Star Wars characters with the most dialogue but no minifigure

Most wanted:

3 Babu Frik
2 Dryden Vos
1 Nien Nunb

Not to mention the clone wars.

Pointless but fun to read article

Am not a minifigs collector but this is very interesting.
Any chance of the equivalent for Marvel please?

The great big standout from all of this is without a single shadow of a doubt Nien Numb. Get on it Lego!

"Characters LEGO need to produce next (chronological order):

-Tion Medon: he would have a very interesting new head mould

-Lama Su: an awesome long neck and an overall cool idea (maybe an 'Obi-Wan meets the clones' set)

-Dryden Vos: quite a key character

-Saw Gerrera: a must have in either his Clone Wars or Rogue One version. I would have liked him to have been included in The U-wing.

-Nien Nunb: hoping he would be with the Nebulon-B Escort Frigate

-Babu Frick: "All hail Babu Frick!" But seriously, we need him. Maybe in a 'Reprogramming 3PO set'?

All the other characters, especially the rebel/resistance pilots are unnecessary, in my opinion."

Wat Tambor is necessary, he would make a good addition to the separatist mini figure collection and he was a key villain in some clone wars episodes

Commander Bly and Commander Bacara new figures badly. So does Phase 2 Armor Commander Cody.

I'm surprised by the lack of minifig for Garven Dreis. Possibly becauses I've seen a good Red squadron Yavin pic using customs.

Also slightly surprised that Benthic had no lines in Solo

Truly, desperately, want a Dexter Jettster figure. They made Pong Krell, obviously the basics are available. C'mon, Lego, get it done!

Babu Frik was the most enjoyable aspect of RoS for me.

We need Saw Gerrera, Dryden Vos, Galen Erso should be priorities in my humble opinion.

@Slobrojo - Garven Dreis is Red Leader at Battle of Yavin

Mas Amedda just seems like a cool design, plot relevance aside. Would love to see him as a fig.

@Profbrick489, he’s kind of the main bad guy in Solo. Definitely check out the movie. It’s not bad, and there are far worse movies to spend your time watching.

Firstly, my nickname ends in an e and secondly, thank you. I’m not very good with pilot names :(

Can we see a MCU list next maybe up to endgame, guessing there will be a lot here. Would be good to look at who could be in a MCU CMF if we ever get one.

I'd never realised that. Always thought he looked familiar from something else.

No idea, although I'm from the UK!

Saw Gerrera and Nien Nunb are the only two that I can foresee getting a minifigure in the immediate future. The rest just don't hold much appeal as either a key character in the story or as a playable minifig.
Of course, I'd love a Babu Frik minfig, I just don't see how they could do that and make it even somewhat to scale.

I'd quite like to see the three versions of Saw Gerrera; the young one from Clone Wars, the older shaven headed one from Rebels and the completely broken down one from Rogue One. Maybe do one of those minfig collection boxes with them

Michael Sheard also played Hitler in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, but more importantly was Mr Bronson in Grange Hill.

Please, Lego!

It's wild we haven't had a Saw Gerrara minifig considering he's been in a film, a game, two different shows, comics, etc. Easily the most important figure they haven't made.

@CapnRex101 you forgot to include Sidon Ithano (the Crimson Corsair who appears in the cantina scene on Takodana from The Force Awakens) to the list of 'Characters without dialogue'.

@Lobo_da_boss_ said:
"Good list but there are hundreds that are possible especially from the mandalorian , clone wars and rebels ."
That is true and perhaps the reason they reduced this list to just the movies. I seem.to suspect we have gotten a few Niemb Num characters. Thanks fot this list and may we see more characters in beloved sets.

you are thinking of the other Sullustan pilot that LEGO has released, Ten Numb https://brickset.com/minifigs/tag-Sullustan
Nien Numb still remains to be made.

@CapnRex101 it would be interesting to expand this data set to include amount of screentime as well as a concept i'm terming "scene time" in which a character is in the room and part of the story but the camera may not literally be pointed on them, as i feel that would still offer a measure of weight as to how present a character is and "worthy" of being considered made into a minifigure.

These sorts of characters should be in the advent calendars, as it would be too difficult to tie them in with an actual set?

@NorthJ90 said:
"These sorts of characters should be in the advent calendars, as it would be too difficult to tie them in with an actual set?"

Yes and no. Some have been in "close proximity" to sets that have been made and seem like an easy omission: Shmi Skywalker in the podrace sets, or Beru in the Sandcrawler set (she was close by). Other times LEGO has just thrown unique out-of-scene characters in the mix. Queen Amidala in full red gown was no where near the Gungan Sub, but she was in the set.

So while some of these seem fit for only one-offs, there are many ways they could be brought into legit sets. In addition to advent calendars there are also promo polybags and those minifigs that come with books too that could help bring some of these characters to market.

"I'd like to see force ghost minifigures, especially now they're making Harry Potter patroniuses"

And themes like Hidden Side and Chima have made minifigs with translucent minifig parts too. though I cannot recall the hips or torso be transparent or clear yet. That might be the hang up (there's a lot of inwardly visible molding that would show up in a translucent minifigure and possibly diminish the effect)

Don’t worry; TLG will find a way to put them all in £199 sets!

There's a lot of characters I'd like to see as minifigures who don't have any lines: Oppo Rancisis, an Utapauan Warrior, a Galactic Marine, a clone trooper in training fatigues, Passel Argente...

By the way, the Neimoidian captain of the Invisible Hand is called Lushros Dofine.

Surprised we haven’t seen Saw Gerrera yet... or any Rogue One sets for that matter. I’d also like to see Garven Dreis, Nien Nunb, L3 and Dryden.

Just out of curiosity, did you count each of Fode and Beed's lines per head? Or, for example, if Fode interrupted Beed did you only count that as one piece of dialogue?

My suggestion for a character without dialogue is Yaddle. It would be great to finish off all the known canon characters of Yoda's species.

@james_shaw said:
"Michael Sheard also played Hitler in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, but more importantly was Mr Bronson in Grange Hill. "

You would imagine from the characters he played that Michael Sheard was a horrible person. Nothing could be further from the truth. I had the pleasure of meeting him twice. He was kind - even to a fanboy like me - and utterly charming. A consummate actor and a gentleman.

So many we still NEED!

We all want Phase 2 Cody

A similar list for clone wars would probably be dominated by clones and maybe Bo-Katan Kryze. For rebels maybe Fenn Rau, Mart Mattin, Govenor Pryce, Ryder Azadi, and Admiral Konstantine.

Holding out for a RotJ Millennium Falcon with Nien Numb.

I'd really like to see a Commander Jorg Sacul minifig. Also, do boops and beeps count for droids?

@xboxtravis7992:
He did call the entire podrace, including early parts in two languages. That's an extremely large chunk of the movie where he's usually the only one speaking.

@peterlmorris:
I preferred the end credits.

In my opinion Shmi Skywalker, Dexter Jettster, L3-37, Saw Gerrera, Benthic 'Two Tubes, Beru Lars, and Nien Nunb all feel like they deserve minifigures. There's also a character from the squeal trilogy, one of the alien Ressitance Pilots, who I don't think got a minifig but I can't remember his name, all I know is he was super cool looking.

Edit: Oh and of course, how could I forget Sleazbaggano

How about a list of lego star wars minifigures that exist but are not chatactors from the movies....

Bros, they are important characters/figs we are missing from LEGO OWN SHOWS
>Cragger\s mother
>Ragull
>Maker of stone army in Nexo
>Cyrus Borg
>Rest of elemental masters
And even from newest Ninjago seasons:
>NoKrag, Seven or Final version of Unagami

So for a few of the ones from the prequels we in the lego star wars game so theres a design for them (would probably have to be updated because im thinking of the old xbox version)
a few that come to mind are:
Dexter Jettster (if i remember correctly he appeared in a cutscene and he was the lego shop guy to buy characters)
Boss Nass
and those people with long necks on kamino.

Being a big fan of the prequels. I’ve been wanting lego to release figures of lama su, taun we, boss nass, tion medon and wat tambor for a while now. I also have been hoping for saw gerrera and dryden vos. A figure they have made once that I would really like to see a remake for is Zam Wessel.

Your dedication is... impressive!

Let's have a Mr Bronson minifig :)

I can believe that there's Porkins minifig and that it was in X-wing set from 2012.

Shmi Skywalker, Boss Nass, Lama Su, Taun We, Dexter Jettser and Aunt Beru are my top picks for Minifigs that NEED to be made.

I don't think that we'll ever see a new SOLO or Rogue One character but trilogy sets are still being released and those should be in there.
It is inconcievable that Shmi was never made - even if it would bother LEGO to include her into a "Tusken Raider" set because of the inherent violence, there is no excuse of her omission in one of the podracing sets. I mean, who is more important: Shmi or Wald?

So, dear readers at the LEGO group: Make another edition of some reasonably made podracers and throw Shmi (should not cost much, no new molds needed) and Fode and Beed in there and it would sell great!

Thanks!

Honestly? I'd be far more interested in seeing many of my favourite Legends characters get realised in minifigure form, than any of these characters. I know it will never happen; but if Lego wants to get me spending money on Star Wars things, all they have to do is make affordable sets including the various KotOR crews, or Wraith Squadron, or Talisibeth Endwandung-Esterhazy, Mara Jade, Kyle Katarn, Lana Beniko, other TOR companions, the Solo kids, etc., etc., etc. and I would be RIGHT THERE.

These guys, though? They're interesting, (and I certainly appreciate the amount of research put in here!) but I wouldn't go out of my way to get any of them, even if Lego did make them as minifigures. I suspect though, that when I was younger and a bigger fan of Star Wars, I would have thought considerably differently xD

Sy Snootles shouldn't count!!! XD

Awesome article and list Captain Rex! I hope Lego will make more Rebel pilots from episodes IV-VI. A Garven Dreis minifigure would be epic!

Also, you should consider making a Clone Wars list. That would be pretty cool.

Nien Numb. I mean he just blew up the second death star with lando. Nothing too important. :-(

Lego needs to make more aliens. For in the cantina, for jabba’s palace and all those intergalactic cities. One of the strong points of the sw universe is the amount of aliens imo.
Taun we and lama su would be great in a set with jango fett by the way

"Blimey that is some amazing stats and commitment to note taking. I love Lego and I Love Star Wars but I have to say most of those names mean nothing to me. Is there any chance you can link the top 2-3 or anyone over 10 etc to pictures on a Star Wars website, as has been done previously (I think)"

Right click on any name and Google will take you to their picture.

My count (excluding their last list) is 107 figures. Get to work LEGO!

This is a great list and shows who really needs to be made. If Lego renegotiated the license with Disney as is rumored, then that they can do individual figures Lego could do a Star Wars CMF line. It would be amazing if they did different themes in the series. Like Mos Eisley Cantina, Jabba's Palace, Phantom Menace, etc... It could go on forever.

I am still surprised they never made a set for Fallen Order, just started playing it, and would love to have the Ginger Jedi and his gang. Heck, more of the Extended Universe in general, I need me a Lego Delta Squad too.

Great work there! Here are my top ten picks:
Doctor Cornelius Evazan
Ponda Baba
Sy Snootles
Nien Nunb
Beru Lars
Shmi Skywalker
Mas Amedda
Dryden Vos
Galen Erso
Saw Gerrera

Interesting that some of the most glaring omissions come from the "Star Wars story" films (Saw Gerrera, Galen Erso, Dryden Vos, L3-37). Each is incredibly deserving of minifigure treatment!

@Gamer_299:
I wouldn't put too much stock in any video game characters. Those are designed by the game developers in cases where there are no official minifigs to draw from, and they have typically been ignored when it comes time to produce a minifig for real.

@Sleepy17:
Why not? She sings in both the original cut and the SE version of the movie. Singing an entire song should count for something in this discussion.

Really wish we got some more of the amazing Jedi Council designs from the Prequels. Oppo Rancisis seems doable without new moulds (the four armed torso and snake legs), as does Depa Billaba. Yaddle is iconic too and Yarael Poof could easily have the same head as any future Kaminoan minifigures.

Maybe a set with Dryden Vos was planned, but the actor got replaced.

a bit of an oddball choice here but I personally love the design of Benthic or "Two-Tubes" such a great costume design and would be so hyped to see him in LEGO.

This is a great list. Would love to see a poll for us to vote on for each movie. We need Nien Nub and Saw for sure! Both would have been great May the Fourth Polybag instead of these recent builds.
Another great idea would be to do a list of planets that we don't have a set from (Kamino) to see if we can get Lego to make some new stuff. Kamino with Lama Su and some clones would be great!

Would also love to have see Amanaman and Prune Face from ROTJ (Ep. 6) as minifigs

I would like to see a set with the whole domino squad be released, as they are important to the Clone Wars and the overall story

Boss Nass has to be my number one priority to see made. He's an absolute must have really. Taun We and Lama Su are also must haves, as well as Shmi Skywalker and Mas Amedda. Given 2022 will be the 20th anniversary of Attack of the Clones, I'm hopeful we'll finally see a Kamino set and hopefully a Geonosian Arena MBS set...

Also you forgot Ghost Yoda, Ghost Obi Wan, and Ghost Anakin, which I still think was absolutely criminal they weren't included in the UCS Ewok Village in 2013. TLG have the correct colour plastic from the patronuses in the Harry Potter line so I'm hoping it's only a matter of time. I mean who wouldn't love Ghost Yoda as the May the Fourth polybag next year???

Technically, the ghosts shouldn't be included, as the characters would have been added with the celebrations across the cities of the galaxy, after the official release of the films. So, the UCS Ewok Village was based on the original film, not the updated version. Also, three more minifigs would have added a minimum of £15 on to the original LEGO price because of the new moulds needed in different colours and the general rarity of the blue ghost colour that can only be found in the HP line.

Overall, I don't see anything to moan about.

@Chemistry2101:
They can't do ghost minifigs in transparent colors. Best you could hope for (and a reasonable alternative) would be something like Medium Azure, but transparent colors are too fragile for some of the required connections in a minifig. They've done arms, legs, and heads, but the arm holes in the torsos would probably crack, the leg pins on the hips would snap off, and the hands would break at the wrist.

@Slobrojoe:
Um...it's been a while since you saw the original cut of RotJ, hasn't it?

http://www.ghostinthemachine.net/anakinghost.gif

There you can see a comparison of the original set of ghosts, including Sebastian Shaw, and the SE ghosts, where Shaw has been replaced by Hayden Christiansen. Yoda and Obi-Wan remain unchanged from how they appeared in 1983. I mean, it had already been established in 1980 that deceased Jedi could manifest as force ghosts when Obi-Wan was hanging around Yoda's hut while Luke was training on Dagobah. Yoda was expected, but the reveal of Anakin's force ghost was meant to show that he really had been redeemed by the time he died.

I don't even think Hasbro has made a Queen Jamilla figure yet. And considering how the toys have gone these days I feel like Star Wars figures and by extension Minifigures may never cover some of these characters.

Very cool article thank you!!

I need a Captain Canady mini in my life. Like seriously he was on the screen for like ten minutes and I personally liked him more than General 'I'm the spy' Hux.

@Odeinoichus:
They don't appear to have (then again, Jamilla was barely in the movie). On the other hand, they did end up making action figures of both of Sabé's "queen decoy" outfits, neither of which exist as official minifigs.
