I like the phantom. That’s about it for me.
I love Ahsoka Tano’ s T- 6 Jedi shuttle. Now correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Lego already make a Jedi shuttle for the clone wars animation series? Oh, wait they did.( I just remembered I have it. Sometimes it’s hard to keep track on what sets you own. ) Lol! I also have the Phantom and Ghost . So I don’t know if I’ll get that set. ( was the first Jedi shuttle called T-16 or was it also T-6 as this second one that’s coming out?) 🤔
Does anybody think that Chewy is terrifying? I don’t link his face at all!
To answer my own question. The T-16 is a skyhopper and the T- 6 is the same Jedi shuttle from the clone wars. So, Lego is bringing it back. So, those who care to know, there’s the answer. 😎. Have a nice day.
A little lackluster reveal as far as I’m concerned. I was expecting more from SDCC.
Nice that the new ships aren’t all gray. Otherwise, Star Wars just feels too big for me to keep up with, although I like the aliens and the natural skin tone heads…
(Some of those parts might be prohibitely expensive if you just want to make background minifigs, though…)
