Three new Star Wars sets announced!

I like the shuttle, the color scheme is great and looks like a fun build, but man the figs are blah. Ahsoka is basic and Sabine is one color with accents. Rebels Ahsoka and the older Sabine look way better.

0.12 per brick 75362 Ahsoka Tano's T-6 Jedi Shuttle
0.09 per brick 75364 New Republic E-wing vs. Shin Hati's Starfighter

ummmmmm

Ugh, the choice for the Shin's hairpiece is so wrong :( She look's nothing loke her badass self from the trailer.
Shouldn't Marrok's outfit be black?

Oh, NOW TLG releases an E-wing!

Plus, the astromech should be covered up.

I'm not in love with that E-wing as much as I should be.... something isn't quite right about it. But mostly it's a return of the 'a ship I want and a ship I don't really care about' packs. Maybe that'll change after the series airs and I get attached to the newer designs.

All three Ashoka sets when I am able to get them, this will be the second E-Wing we get in a set and the first one based on a Canon property.

I'm so torn on the starfighter set. The E-Wing looks soo crude, it gives me '99 vibes. Also, both fighters look tiny for the price. I know, 1000+ 1x1-pieces, yadda, yadda...

The T6 looks not as good as the first one, and not as spacious, but it's still okay.

On the other hand: SPACESHIPS!

OK, I think it's time to figure out a better solution for rotating wings on Star Wars ships. Clearly they're not going away, and it's sad looking at an entire side that's the underside of plates.
How about technic beams like they often do for fins on top of ships, and plates for any decoration? It wouldn't end up much thicker than what they've got now...

Chewbacca certianly is something to give you nightmares!!

Well this proves that not all star wars ships have to be grey hunks. Love those sets for ashoka.

Also,I'm not one to question practicality for sets,but the chewbacca....

I love everything except Chewbacca. They have ruined Star Wars most lovable Wookie.

"Looks more "Harry and the Hendersons" than Chewie. "

I’m currently watching the last episode of S1 of 1923 at the moment. The father from Harry and the Hendersons TV series was just onscreen. I’ll keep an eye out for Harry.

@Shropshire said:
"Looks more "Harry and the Hendersons" than Chewie. "

I was thinking more like Cousin It!

As always, I wish the sets were cheaper, but the Ahsoka sets are SO AWESOME. I am very excited for these. More of the twin fighter sets please!

The Ahsoka sets look great, if a bit overpriced. They should come with orange lightsabers though.
And Sabine desperately needs arm printing. Hopefully with the new lekku mold we'll see an updated clone wars Ahsoka! Huyang looks good, but somebody calling him topless has certainly dampened my view. Chewbacca...we'll leave corpses where they should lay... as far from me as possible.
It's nice to see Star Wars have plenty of color though!

@PurpleDave

I agree, that is part of the reason I haven't found a single X-Wing MOC I can get behind completely. All of them are not stable enough, while Lego's are stable but inaccurate (gap between the wings for example). My E-Wing, as all of my MOCs, aspire to combine stability, playability and accuracy to the greatest extent possible. :)"

Have you posted your E-wing anywhere?

Thanks to that hideous Chewbacca we'll at last get 52738 PLATE 1X1 W/HOLDER VERTICAL in reddish brown again - and reddish brown ball joints!?!
https://jaysbrickblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/75371-Chewbacca-Lifestyle-Bandolier-Satchel-1025x1536.jpg

Got a feeling that Chewbacca will be 30% off not too long after release.
Not buying this one.

As a completist, Chewie frightens me and forces me.

Oh, a new shuttle, nice with cool minifigs, the next one is great too, must be from the new Ashoka series, let's see what the third...WHAT IS THAT?

Expensive but at least they look good. Too bad that the T-6 has no real interior.

That Wookiee is terrifying

Those spaceships look good, I actually like that a lot of studs are shown, it's a LEGO set.

Has a very classic look to it in a good way.

Eurobricks, but I'm no longer active there. Will probably repost it on Reddit sometime.

Glad to finally get another E-Wing after we got the modified one with Jek-14's Starfighter.

Those Chewbacca eyes...I've seen those eyes before...

10018

On a real note these large scale models are either hit or miss, this one is a massive miss, and at $200?

".... I guess as Meat Loaf said, "2 out of 3 ain't bad...""

Wait, which 2?

I love the T6 so that’s an easy buy. As for the E -Wing, it looks like it was designed during the first wave of Star Wars sets in 1999, but maybe it’s alright, I’ll have to wait to see it in live action. I also need to see how important those ships and characters are in the show to see if it’s worth buying.

As for Chewie, I got to say it’s impressive that they were able to pull him off in Lego, certainly not for me, but impressive nonetheless.

I’m still hoping that Lego makes a Kanan force ghost minifigure.

Really the only thing I think of when I see that Chewie is OMGWHY???

But if you’re gonna make one outta LEGO, I guess it’s good? :P

@EriktheRed said:
"Wonderful group of figs! Also love the new astromech being represented! "
What apart from the colour is new about it? We've gotten loads of different colour variants of R2 over the years, this one doesn't look any different.

Forget Chewbacca for a second, that Shin Hati ship is ugly...very poorly done

Chewie is abominable

LEGO is going to go broke replacing broken parts on that Chewbacca set in a couple of years.

@Sutures said:
".... I guess as Meat Loaf said, "2 out of 3 ain't bad...""
But less than an hour later he realised, for crying out loud, you know I love you...

I think the biggest issue with the Chewbacca built is that the head could be used as the initial picture of an increasingly aggravating trypophobia test. Warning: don't google this if you don't know about it and don't want to unlock a potential new phobia.

Otherwise, it's a very decent LEGO-fication of a very difficult subject to represent with bricks.

Who ok to make the Chewbacca for mass production?

@ICAbricks she is not a Jedi, but she has wielded both the Darksaber and Ezra Bridger’s lightsaber, which she has here.

@Murdoch17 Cousin It, if I recall, has no visible face, which judging by most of the comments would be an improvement on this thing.

" @jdm said:

I see him as brown tones; do you see whites?"

Ooh, LEGO should make a "The Dress" set.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress

Oh my god, an official E-Wing
WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME, LEGO? NOW I HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO GET THIS
My only complaint is that the astromech droid sits too high up in it's port and that the E-wing is missing it's top cannon. I'm guessing the show resigned the E-Wing to have things like visible Astromech droid or something. No matter, this is okay, this is Lego after all. I plan to create a panel add-on that slots in along the top of the E-wing to not only hide that Astromech droid port as well as having it's top cannon back. Which will hopefully make things a tad more aligned and sleep with the canopy piece because right not the canopy piece peaks way too high up from the rest of the ship.

You know, for once, I actually don’t think these prices are horrible!

The ships look good, and seem pretty sizable. The mini figures don’t seem to have glaring flaws or are blatantly missing anything (other than the orange saber). Good stuff!

75371 : Stuff nightmares are made of.

Hard to know what is more horrifying, Chewy's face or the $320 Australian price tag!! Seriously thought, if the forehead colours where actually blended better or the lighter brown carried up to the start of the top section, the face would look much better.

The rest I rather like, will have to see if I can find it discounted though given the price. The AUD is sitting at about 68c USD yet the set is 60% more than the USD price. I know shipping stuff here costs a bit more, but you have factories in China and Mexico, we're not that far away! 7yrs ago when I got back into Lego, you could add 20-25% to the US price to get the Australian approximate price, now you won't find it under 40% and that's on the really big ticket items!

“Adorable Chewbacca”! Laughing my head off! Lol

"LEGO is going to go broke replacing broken parts on that Chewbacca set in a couple of years."

About 3-5 years ago, they said they figured out what caused Brittle Brown Disease, fixed it…and then sat on the news long enough to make sure it had actually worked before telling everyone it’s fixed. Now, some people will be sitting here in 50 years with a pile of post-2020 brown parts, saying, “Just you wait, any day now these are gonna turn brittle and crumble to dust!” For the rest of us, someone (I think either @AustinPowers or @StyleCounselor) posted a range of dates they’d personally confirmed to be affected, and it ended about ten years ago. It takes a while for the parts to turn brittle, so if ten years is the incubation period, we may see a few more years worth of stuff degrade, but it should be all done by around 2029-2030. If it’s less than ten years, that should mean it’s all over, and any parts that are going to turn brittle already have.

@Elcascador:
I looked it up and don’t see the problem. Now if stuff actually starts coming out of them, that might be a different story.

@SearchlightRG:
Cousin Itt looks like the back of a long blond wig from all sides, except for a pair of sunglasses indicating where his face is located.

@PurpleDave said:
" @Ephseb:
I find a lot of times, MOCs do a better job of matching the look of an IP-based design, but they aren’t always stable designs. I’ve got a few MOCs that fit this description."

It is a problem that all of us MOC builders have to deal with. I too have a fair few MOCs that fits that description but still feel like I need to get the sets for the prints/stickers and minifigs to further enhance my MOCs.

Both the Ahsoka sets look amazing and ideally I would like to get them, but after Sonic and Dreamzzz and all the other stuff coming out in August, I don't think I'll have enough to get them all!

Also, since when did Sabine become a Jedi? Wouldn't Kanan or Ahsoka have sensed that she is strong with the force earlier?

I like the ships.

Chewbacca looks like they insisted on using tiny parts. It looks detailed, sure. But at what co- It's 200 euro. There we go.

Also, wasn't Professor Huyang from that one episode with the younglings, voiced by David Tennant? That would be cool!

@PurpleDave said:
" @yellowcastle:
They want Chewbacca. They need Chewbacca. But there ain't no way they’re ever gonna love Chewbacca."

But don't be sad, Chewie, cause 2 out of 3 ain't bad...

It kinda looks like Chewie has two pairs of eyes. And not much of a nose. Maybe in real life it looks better than on the renders. But then again, maybe not. I can't help but feel this would have worked much better as a much bigger scale bust.

As for the other two sets, they feel rather old school...

Leg printing?! What is this, a new Ninjago subtheme?

At first glance, these look nice and fun without repetitive figs (surprised they didn't stuff in another Mando n Grogu).

EDIT: the price of the T-6 is insane. Chewy is frightening. Yet, it might be a good Halloween addition to Dobby.

That new astromech tho.... X

"The Ahsoka sets look phenomenal! I absolutely love all three ships. Chewbacca looks okay; the shaping is pretty well done, but the face ruins the whole thing. It also feels overpriced, despite good price per piece.

@ozbrickcreator said:

I wouldn't say that Sabine using Ezra's lightsaber automatically means she's a Jedi. After all, Ahsoka isn't one anymore, and Dark Side Force users like the Inquisitors or Kylo Ren don't refer to themselves as Sith, for example. We also don't know the context of the scenes in which Sabine uses it.

That said, Sabine does refer to Ahsoka as her master in the new trailer, so perhaps we will see some Jedi training going on. I can't wait to find out!"

Yeah, one doesn’t have to be a Force user, let alone a Jedi (former or otherwise) or Sith, to use a lightsaber. Sabine herself used the Darksaber and Ezra’s saber back in Rebels. And of course there’s General Grievous, Pre Vizsla, Gar Saxon, Bo-Katan, Han Solo, Moff Gideon, Din Djarin, and Finn. All of them have used lightsabers without being Force users, though apparently Finn may have some Force talent of which he was unaware at the time.

It seems from trailers that where Ahsoka will be dealing with the likes of Baylan Skill and Marrock, Sabine’s foil will be Shin Hati. I have to admit it makes me nervous; you don’t have to have the Force to use a lightsaber, but it helps, particularly if your opponent has it. Not sure I want Sabine to turn out to have Force powers though.

The T-6 Shuttle build is definitely underwhelming, especially in the cockpit area. The 2011 version retailed $20 cheaper and was actually larger.

A cheaper Sabine's helmet is a plus
And another pilot helmet
Not sure I'm fussed by any of the rest of it

Skip/Pass on most of it...but "Chewbricka" has me wondering how he'd look with a small 'scalp'/'forehead' reduction? I mean, he looks "right" compared to his fig; but sooooo very wrong next to his photo...also: didn't realize the Bowcaster had two scopes...:D

I'm excited about the recolor for Sabine's hairpiece because I was wanting it for something unrelated.

How about the two plates above his brow that make it look like his brain is being eaten away? Those need to go.

On closer inspection, the T-6 is woefully small and expensive. A shuttle should be able to shuttle some figs. Is that too much to ask?

Sad that the graphic design team cares so little about Star Wars that they think the good Professor is a wrench-wielding astromech. Finally, it's deplorable that the yellow fighter has more room for lightsabers than for its pilot. That ship looks like it has abducted its occupant.

At least they finally gave us leg printing (except for the skirt).

We get such po' dribblin's as SW fans. It's as if Lego hates us. Is it too much to ask from Lego to get some passion and a little knowledge about Star Wars? Who the hell are they hiring for Lego SW? Can we get some Friends, Ninjago, HP, or Dreamzzz level concern and design?

With Chewbacca, I have to admit they nailed his goofy stance.

All that space in that yellow and red starfighter, and the minifig is crammed slap up inside that canopy.

There better be something interesting under there and not just a bunch of random colored 2x4 bricks.

Two of those sets are superb. Chewie, well, it's the face - it will be interesting to see if it's the renders or if it really looks that bad (the rest of it is quite good) but that face.

I don't see the point with the Chewbacca set. It's just a big, clunky buildable action figure. Hot Toys did a really nice one for MSRP on this set, and even the toy-grade ones look better at mostly a tenth of the price or less.

Hey it's Lego Five Nights at Freddie's! Oh no sorry guys it's Five Bricks at Chewie's apparently.
Lego is making a habit of big IP sets no one asked for that are really, really bad.

The T6 has 4 excellent figs, but to only fit 1 of them inside the ship is disappointing. The use of this canopy is fine for smaller fighters like the N1 or Shin’s starfighter, but looks awkward on the T6. ( and slave 1/ boba’ starfighter ) . It immediately let’s you know it’s downscaled.
Still contemplating on buying or not.
The other 2 sets don’t do it for me.

Ha, ha! Well put.

Something is off with Chewbacca. Build looks intricate but it fails in the face area I think. Would I pay $200 for it, no, certainly not. But I'm sure this will sell like cupcakes because it's Star Wars.

That astromech. It looks like R2-D2 became a Leeds fan.

I'm not in the main trend, but I like this Chewie rendition. And have already pre ordered Ashoka's T6, following the link. Thx.

Don't get all the hate for Chewbacca, I think he's great!

Not bothered about the other two sets as I only usually get UCS sets.

A couple of additional thoughts on the E-Wing set:

We now have A, B, E, U, V, X, and Y-Wings. How long before we get the other nineteen?

Really hoping this doesn’t depict an actual dogfight, because I don’t really like Captain Porter and his Astromech’s chances against a Force user pilot.

I think I'm in the minority quite liking the Chewwie.

That astromech though, hope he's called 1K-34 :D

ABUVEXY? That's sexy.

Looking at the Chewy pictures on the Lego box... yep, yep, yep, that's our ol' Chewbacca. Then, looking over at the set... what the hell is this brown pudding mound creature supposed to be?!!

Did they turn SW Lego over to interns (interns who hate SW... and, perhaps, Lego)?

I somehow doubt this Porter guy is the equal of several clone pilots. Plus, if the box art reflects the story, he’ll be the one getting attacked, not doing the attacking.

The Chewbacca is indeed awful. However, I find myself wanting to buy it so I can mount him on the 21042 Statue of Liberty pedestal holding the torch.

This Chewbacca is a statue, not an action figure. It's built of Lego...and that is the point.

That's because Captain Jag and his fellow pilots were subliminally trained to accept Order 66 and thus wouldn't alert any Force-users in the vicinity when acting on it. To the Jedi, the clones were merely following orders.

That's the true storyline anyway. What's the "Canon" reason...? Chips in their heads? Oh, whatever.

I might pay $100 for a derpy looking Chewbacca. No way I'm paying $200 for one.

Love the new shuttle color. Just watched tales of the jedi.

And an ewing!!! Make an ucs :D

Super excited about Chewbacca here. May have to get a pair since my wife may lay claim to the first one.

Is it just me or does the brick-built Chewie look like a chocolate statue left out in the Phoenix heat?

Great new sets and ships coming out but these big statue like sets for Star Wars or Marvel have never interested me because the always look off. Chewbacca will be only parts if your building a ship or mountains like terrain.

So when do you expect they’ll make the E-Wing in a 4+ set? C’mon, the world needs a Jr E-Wing!

That Chewbacca set is horrifying, I am surprised it got approved. Not mentioned here but new to me, the Yavin 4 set looks interesting.

@Zink said:

Yes. I don't hate the sequels as much as some people, but this show was needed more than the sequels. Or even Mando. Rebels didn't really end.

Omg someone should make a horror game where you are on the Lego Millennium Falcon and you have to run and hide from that nightmare Chewbacca set.
