Star wars have some good sets

Around 5:45, that AT-AT MOC from ‘82 is, in fact, a pretty good representation of how difficult making any sort of walker was with the parts of the time, and you’re not wrong about how much we’d all been wishing for Lego Star Wars by 1999. I had been dreaming of that moment for almost 20 years. Literally: I had an extremely vivid dream sometime in the early ‘80s that Lego Star Wars sets were being released and I’d gotten to see them early (Millennium Falcon, TIE Fighter, X-Wing, AT-AT), and to this day I still can recall snippets of the dream-and I never remember my dreams. But I knew as soon as I woke up that it would never happen. So I was a kid again when the first OT Star Wars sets were revealed, even as crude as they were.

I remember remaking a Droideka from my own pieces using a screenshot from the video game

I'll always have a soft spot for the 2005 Star Wars sets as that was my first and biggest collection of sets.

I honestly do agree with you, having licenses back in the early 2000s was more of a specialty among the creative ideas that Lego itself could come up with. Nowadays I do believe that the design elements make the sets way better than their original counterparts, believe me I grew up with the original Star Wars and Harry Potter sets so I know exactly how that feels. However, licenses nowadays make it feel like turning everything into Lego but forgetting what Lego itself actually is.

Supposedly, they were going to be an even richer shade of blue in the movies but that made them blend into the background too much.

One of the few times, I actually had most of the Harry Potter sets, and some Star Wars sets, then I’d cross them over with Life on Mars and Spider man and while I long stopped collecting legos seeing all the improvements is a treat for me. I think it’s cause of LEGO that I enjoy random crossovers.

Being born in 84 and raised on Lego and as a fan of most of what they have actual licences for now, you had to get creative. Here's an example: I remember my friends and I would use the long translucent antenna pieces as lightsabers. Now kids can just use, well, actual Lego lightsabers. I can really enjoy some of the licensed lines. I own stuff from Lego Batman, Marvel (mostly only comic based), Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Ghostbusters, and so on...but I too always found myself annoyed when, say, they'd deem LOTR Castle, POTC Pirates, or SW Space for the year or longer. It was always kind of heartbreaking! Like a great example here; I would take Monster Fighters over Scooby Doo ANY DAY!

Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga is, was and will always be the best game ever. ALL HAIL THE GONK DROID!

Sad pirates fan: well the clone wars had space pirates and body hunters are kind of like pirates right...(a single tear sheds from there eye)

Back in 2012-2013 they had an awesome SW:The Old Republick sets. They were truly unique compared to all of the X-wings and such. Check 'em out if you hadn't yet.

12:46 "The jedi interceptor, while vague recognizable as a Tie fighter protoype..." Wait what??? How have I never realized this before???

Man that one narrator who voiced the Star Wars commercials for so many years was great, too bad the modern commercials dropped him.

They did continue the mini-trend in the form of the board games, which I personally thought were awesome, especially the fantasy ones. The microfigures were an interesting design and worked well for the games themselves.

I want a remake of all of the mini or midi stuff, possibly even more mini/midi designs for other lines like Ninjago. I really enjoy mini/midi scale builds, especially as someone who loves Super Sentai and combining robots as a whole, it’s so much easier to make good looking, slick, transforming, combining, and actually pose-able mecha in that scale

I would play with the star wars legos so much that i would forget what they actually looked like in the movie. Once I saw them again I was like: "THAT's what it's supposed to look like??"

It's the big one guy's (outside of the inevitable Bionicle rewind)

15:35 "At least you don't have entire sheets of plastic pushed to the end of the shelf." *glances at simpsons house*

As a fan of LEGO Harry Potter and Star Wars I really really liked this episode! Not to mention most of my Lego purchases have been from both lines!

Me, about to exit KZread: sector is clear *sees this video*: NOt cLear NoT CLeAr

Man, that original flying car set looks really fun. Love just how blocky that car is.

Midi scale had a bit of a resurgence with a few display pieces of the invisible hand, Tantive IV, and falcon. They are a bit bigger, but they’re close

Yeah, way back then, those sets looked plain and blocky, but now they are more detailed. Progress at it's finest.

I fell in love with Harry Potter back in 2017. I have had on/off again relationship with Star Wars my whole life. I never liked the HP sets as a kid, but as an adult, I love them all. I loved the origional SW sets until around 2003-2005, and I love these new sets since about 2 years ago. HOWEVER, I agree with you on some of the points you make about how as good as some of these themes and sets are, they are destorying LEGO's original ideas and those fun iconic sets of the space exploration, ocean fighting, midevel sets, etc. I couldn't believe how LEGO had aquired the license to Spiderman and Jurassic Park as a kid, but now I can't keep up as an adult that even has a kid who likes LEGO himself on all the new sets. Wish I had all of my old sets from 1998-2003 time frame (mainly). Those are iconic and I appreciate your youtube channel for showing these sets, some of which I have forgotten since then.

For me my favourite licensed themes as a kid was the original LEGO Batman. That toy-line actually introduced me to the Batman universe and defined for me what all the characters and vehicles look like. They were also great sets with a fantastic Batmobile, Batwing and Batcave. Sadly I think Batman has run his course when it comes to LEGO, a lot of the sets just make worse versions of the vehicles and if there’s ever a cool exclusive minifig like Killer Moth or Batwoman I’d rather buy them separately online for cheap instead of putting a ton of money into buying another Batmobile.

I think the one wave a year thing works really well for Harry Potter. That way it doesn't feel over saturated, and just really fresh imo

Lego HP is probably my favorite licensed lego theme

8:16 I don’t really blame you. They are small, don’t look too bad, and can roll into a ball pretty well. It’s not overly big like the one in the first MTT set, or as odd looking as the one from that one battle pack.

Those mini Star Wars sets remind me of one of my favorite lego sub-theme of all time: the X-Pods. It's amazing how Lego has made it so easy to bring little sets along to handle at work or something, with the nice casing so that none of the pieces get lost.

Great review, and definitely a nice nostalgia trip. Fun fact, the TIE Fighters in the original trilogy were actually meant to be blue, but that made them invisible when filming with bluescreen. So in a way, the original LEGO sets weren't too inaccurate. Also, those were my favorite Droideka minifig builds too - they never really got them right afterward, with their most recent redesign looking especially terrible. Incidentally, your voice work in this video seems to be improving - I don't know what it is about it, but you really nailed it in this video!

I actually like the Clone Wars faces. I grew up with them.

The Harry Potter sets have always been rising in quality. The Star Wars sets, meanwhile, flip back and forth in quality as much as the movies. Those are getting way too expense. I think the last reasonably priced wave was Summer 2017/Fall 2017, and that’s sorta where my interest in LEGO Star Wars kicked the bucket.

Wow. Truly one of my favorite videos you've done, and not bad for a licensed sets vid.

I think "Smooth Elegant designs attempted with 2001 era legos" is still a cool aesthetic

Fun fact: the Basilisk isn't actually green! The animatronic/puppet they used for filming actually had black skin, but the Chamber of Secrets was filled with a green light/glow that altered its appearance. That said, I'm pretty sure the canonical color outside of movie-magic is supposed to be dark green, so the video game version is the closest we've gotten and even that's not quite right.

God damn you're a good youtuber. In the top 10 for me for sure

That last quote “licensed sets need to be balanced out with LEGOs themes it needs to be 50/50” is very accurate The main reason why legos themes fail is because they don’t market them and if they have a show or something based around them it usually isn’t well developed. But when they do promote their own themes and give them proper story’s they do extremely well (ninjago, bionicle) Personally I’d love a new original CCBS theme

At the beginning when I was little, I started to hear more about LEGO Star Wars after the release of the LEGO Star Wars The Videogame.

Imagine being restricted on the choices of the movie team instead of the freedom that the Lore of the license can give by just looking at the wiki Many movie videogames do exactly they because the content, the density of things that can be presented at a 110 length chapter isn't enough to make a game

I really want them to bring back the mini building sets for Star Wars (or as I used to call them, Mini Models). The planet sets did kinda fill that space for a bit but I always found the minifig & planet were just unnecessary additions that ride up the price.
