User blog:NovaHawk/List of obvious Star Wars stuff we're missing
From Brickipedia, the LEGO Wiki
To me, there are some very major scenes and vehicles from the Star Wars films that haven't appeared in LEGO in any way that I find very strange. Here's a list a number of people have come up with:
- Some sort of Naboo Transport- At least one of the Naboo ships from Episodes I, II or III. I really would have thought that the Episode I ship would have appeared by now- in the film it sort of served the main group much like the Falcon did in the Original Trilogy and was a major part of the film.
- Jedi Temple- One of the most iconic buildings in the whole saga, we haven't even had anything remotely related to the Temple.
- Petranaki arena- Long fight scene, one of the major battles in the series, but yet again is entirely missing.
- Invisible Hand, and other Separatist Capital ships- The Invisible Hand played a major part in the beginning of Episode III, even a duel area with Dooku/Obi-Wan/Anakin/Palpatine would be nice. Other Trade Federation ships seem to be lacking too- the Trade Federation cruiser being a major one (due to its appearances in Episode I).
- Lars Homestead- significant in Episode IV, also appears in Episode II.
- So there is the Tatooine Mini-build, but that's a mini model. I'm talking actual sets.
Bright Tree Village- Had a lot of screen-time in Episode VI, yet the only Ewoks we seem to get are from the parts where they're fighting.- 10236 Ewok Village released in 2013.
- Theed "stuff", including the Theed Royal Palace, Theed Hangar
, and Theed Generator Complex (where Darth Maul fought Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan). All of these were major things in Episode I, and the Palace also appeared in Episode II.- 75169 Duel on Naboo released in 2017 covers the Theed Generator Complex.
- Gungan "stuff", Otoh Gunga or Gungan sacred place, something other than a Gungan in the Battle of Naboo
- Senate Chamber- Another big one appearing the the prequel trilogies. Could be set up as either a (relatively) peaceful Senate debate, or a duel between Yoda and Sidious
- Massassi Temple- Served as the Rebel's base in Episode IV, had a fair bit of screen time.
- Tipoca City (Kamino)- Major part of Episode II (even more major if you're like me and skip all the Ep2 Naboo scenes :P)
- Varykino (Padmé's lake retreat) and Picnic in Lake Country- Because who wouldn't want to relive some of the most cringeworthy moments of the saga? Had plenty of screentime (it felt like hours).
- Geonosian Droid Factory- Not sure how you'd do the fused Battle Droid/3PO minifigures though :)
- Something related to Order 66- short but very important scene in Episode III.
- Some of the clone trooper battle packs over the years might cover this to a degree.
- Finalizer - A fair few scenes took place on General Hux's and Kylo Ren's Star Destroyer.
- First Jedi Temple - Small but important part in the film, it'd be nice to have it as a small set. Likely it'll be an Episode VIII instead though.
- TIE/fo Fighter - We've got a TIE/sf Fighter, but not a standard one-seater FO TIE Fighter. Not saying I want one right away, but it's an obvious set that should come one day.
- Zeta-class cargo shuttle - Like Episode VII, LEGO did a pretty great job of covering most things in Rogue One by released one and a half waves worth of sets. This shuttle was pretty significant, but being so large it's understandable it hasn't yet been released.
- AT-ACT - see above comment.
- Minifigures
Also, there are a few characters we also don't have minifigures for (or variants for) which we really should have by now. Here's a few, feel free to suggest more in the comments (remember we're talking minifigures or variants that have had significant screen time)
- Episode I C-3PO
- Shmi Skywalker
- Kitster Banai - had a fair bit of dialogue, definitely more prominent than Wald. Strangely, Kitster hasn't even appeared as a video game character.
- Boss Nass
- Sio Bibble - one of the least notable on the list, but did have some dialogue and screen time in Episode I.
- Padmé Amidala (combat gear) - I don't know what to call it. The purple clothes she wore when taking back the Theed Palace.
- Rune Haako - I'm not listing all the Separatist leaders because they're pretty minor (not that I wouldn't want them). But Rune did have almost as big a presence as Nute Gunray in Episode I.
- Episode II C-3PO - as seen on this poster.
- Any sort of Padmé Amidala (Senator) - The only Episode II or III Padmé we have is her Geonosis Arena clothes.
- Mas Amedda - barely makes the list, but did appear in all three prequel movies, and had a couple of lines of dialogue. Was almost always seen in the scenes involving Palpatine.
- Dexter Jettster - We have a Basalisk mould, why has it been used for a minor The Clone Wars character and not the Besalisk that appeared in Episode II?
- Lama Su and/or Taun We
- Captain Typho
- Commander Cody (film) - Had a few speaking parts. It wouldn't be hard to have fit him in somewhere.
- Bail Organa - Had some time in Episode II, and was fairly significant in both Episode III and Rogue One.
- Beru Lars - significant screen time in Episode IV, also appeared in Episode II.
- Saw Gerrera - fairly significant in the beginning of Rogue One.
- Nien Numb - Pretty noticeable in Episode VI, also appeared in Episode VII. Why he hasn't appeared, yet Ten Nunb (who I don't even remember in Episode VI) has appeared twice is beyond me.
- Luke Skywalker (Episode VII) - HUGE character in the film, appeared in nearly every scene- why isn't there a minifigure of him? OK, so his role's tiny, but it's Luke, so a minifigure of him would be nice. But, like the First Jedi Temple, he can easily wait until Episode VIII sets.
