I think structure builds are pretty important for star wars to break the monotony of ship builds from time to time
@coraldiamond1922

There are plenty of important scenes that happen that include very few of any vehicles so I think it was hard for them not to make sets depicting different scenes. After all if you look at the rest of the saga then even within the time frame between 2015 to 2020 we have received plenty of structure based stuff.

I don't think Star Wars has any locations that are deserving of the annual expandable set format of the Harry Potter castle. I do think Star Wars could benefit from the Harry Potter format of including a decent amount of terrain with most of its sets.

I’m shocked it wasn’t part of the Resistance Battle Pack, like how a small wall of the Temple on Yavin IV made its way into the 4+ A-wing set. They really should’ve made Maz’s Castle the size of build as Vader’s Castle.
I really like when Lego makes environment builds for Lego Star Wars. I hope one day we can get stuff like a Geonosian Factory in a style similar to that Rathtar escape or a Tantive corridor with escape pod for the iconic opening sequence of Episode IV.
Lego should make a Tanative IV set in the stile of the rathar escape set. Just the inside of the halways, and the escape pod. And a bunch of figures.

I really think Lego should do more dioramas to scale, like the Star Destroyer bridges, or Millennium Falcon interiors. Sure, the sets give you allusions to those locations, but they're cramped into the structure of the ships and lacking in detail. Imagine the Falcon interior similar in scale and detail to the Friends' Central Perk set, complete with corridors to the cockpit, or the Cloud City set broken down to individual locations, expanded upon as full structures that could, as you said, be snapped together.

I just don't think they would sell very well. Most people wouldn't have any use for a star destroyer bridge that's just on it's own.
It's unfortunate that we dont see more location based sets for the prequel trilogy and the sequel trilogy, but I think that ultimately comes down to popularity. Lego will keep making OT ships over anything else because that's what sells in stores.

Also Lego have just done a large chunk of what needed to be made from the sequel trilogy. I highly doubt we will see lots of stuff from said trilogy in the next couple of years at least. I think Lego will offer more prequel and original trilogy sets. I really think we need Jabbas palace or Endor stuff.
I love the sequel trilogy :)

“We got palpatine uhhh I mean snoke’s throne room.” I swear bro Jang is a absolute legend 😂
It's times like this where I'm reminded of the irony in the LEGO City theme. Despite it being about a city, you don't actually get many structures to build a city. Unless of course your ideal city is made entirely of police stations and burning buildings.
I remember finding that maz castle set a few months after it came out at my Walmart for 75% off! Since it was only $15 I grabbed it for the figures, and obviously the bacon flag ;)
Looking back at the Force Awakens sets reminds me of a simpler time. A time when we had hope, a time when we were blissfully ignorant of what was to come
17:37 THANK YOU! I've been thinking this for AGES.

My favourite part of Lego SW. I own all of this and they are awesome sets.
im still waiting for Obi Wan's bathroom to conect to his hutt
"but open around the back" - isn't the whole thing now with Lego is to be building what are basically dollhouses, which are open in the back so that the player can create vignettes and such? I can see that closed makes more sense for someone making a city or large display, but I think there is value in being able to see what's going on inside. With the new Harry Potter sets, for example, the outsides are fine, but the insides are so much more interesting, I wouldn't want to cover them up.
They definitely fell way short with the structures. Instead they’d make an entire Death Star and charge hundreds of dollars for it. I feel like the 4, 5 and 6 films got more structures than this series.

Love these look backs. Great assessment.

more buildings in general from lego would be amazing

There was actually an impressive amount of structures and play sets to come out of the sequel trilogy waves. I wish we’d see more of that for the prequels and OT!
@coraldiamond1922

It’s because of the recent sequel trilogy sets overall that are in part the reason we haven’t had as many original and prequel trilogy sets nothing against them myself but I’m sure that now we are on the other side of the sequel trilogy we will see more from the rest of the trilogy as we have had most of what could be made from the sequel trilogy already.
Love the Destiny hoodie! Also these videos are very entertaining! Thank you
I love the sequels
Cool hoodie Jang!
9:45 The thing I liked about Luke's hut is that is was a great companion piece to Yoda's hut and indeed, I bought them together. Everything about them is contrasting. The colors, the environment, Luke's cynicism vs. Yoda's optimism, the small buildable Porg vs. the one piece standard snake... Well okay, maybe that last part is a stretch.
This is a great video idea
8:04 Thats funny. This morning I was MAKIN BACON PANCAKES.
The « brand new Lego City concept » part was hilarious. 😂 And not that far off. The 2020 Cantina and Obi-Wan’s hut sets practically beg to be put together to create a mini Mos Eisley... If one has the space and money, that is! Actually, that shop stall from episode 7 would integrate fairly well in a Tatooine city environment. Many SW Lego locations that are very City-like haven’t been made come to think of it. Dex’s Diner (restaurant), Jedi Temple archives (library), Mos Espa open market (self explanatory), Watto’s shop (garage and junkyard), the Outlander Club (posh bar and gambling den). Other locations that are less City-style but still interesting haven’t been done in ages(Chancellor Palpatine’s office, Jabba’s Palace, Ewok village)or never attempted AFAIK (Lars Homestead) Reading this list I just realised that most of these are from the Prequel era. Many Original Trilogy locations apart from Tatooine are located on ships and vehicles (Sand Crawler, Death Stars, Imperial Star destroyers, Tantive IV, Home One, Cloud City) or military bases (Yavin IV, Echo Base, Endor bunker, Eadu and Scarif research facilities). Civilian locations typically show little real life detail. Jedha and Cloud City are remarkably devoid of shops for example. The last Cloud City set made was large and had nicely recreated scenes, but it was mostly just an impractical backdrop with little play value in the end. I’m not attacking the designers of this set, they did well, they just didn’t have enough to work with and had to remain within a set budget. Which is probably why Lego released so many vignette sets, rather than buildings, apart from Tatooine of course.
I totally agree more structure sets would be great.
We should get a Xyston Star Destroyer from LEGO. They should add more sith troopers in it
LOVE the Destiny hoodie! This warlock approves
I love you are using your Bungie hoodies
I honestly wish we got another kit on Crait with a lot more structure because boy howdy have I been heavily tempted to just build up around those little structures
I was lucky in that I found the Takodana Battle set in January of 2018 for less than $40 at my local Target. The figure selection was good, so I got it then for the reduced price, and I think it was one of my best LEGO purchases to date
we really need more AotC sets
I’d love to see an Episode 2 Geonosis Droid factory set. It just seems perfect for a ton of fun features and cool minifigs but that’s incredibly unlikely since its not a vehicle and its from the least popular prequel.

I don’t think it’s out of the question. After all isn’t the next Star Wars ucs set from said film so with the skywalker saga video game releasing next year I think it’s likely we could see something from that film beyond the clone gunship.
Rise of skywalker needs a location set or two
My favourite is lukes hut
Figures aren’t supposed to stand in the lower part of the Rathtar set. Rey and Finn are crawling in that part in the movie.
I liked Maz Kanada's castle was a good set when I got it, but it was part of a large auction lot, and not by itself. I mostly used it as the Emperor's palace.
i have lukes hut and kylo -rey snow duel. Love them.
MORE PREQUEL LOVE
I would love to see kamino structure set or petranaki(geonosis) arena.
More SW location sets from the PT and Ep9 would be what I'd like to see
I feel the same way, I wish there was more structures in Star Wars sets in general and doesn’t have us moc-builders have to do all the work.😅 I think a retrospective on the rebels theme and other Star Wars waves of sets would be interesting.
I would love to see a bigger crate defense with a nice trench
I love the sequels But I also think ALL STAR WARS IS GOOD great video
Can't believe it's three years ago when I got the battle of Takodana set :*(
Cool
It says something that I had completely forgotten that the Han's Freighter scene/location from the film. The memorable locations for me were the planet Rei started out on, the death-planet thing, the throne room and the red/white planet. Those were all really neat locations. I also remember the casino place but that is not for good reasons. In terms of lego sets I like Luke's hut but that's about it.

hey jang, linking the review for all these sets in the description or comments helps :D
Thanks Jang. Great constructive structure review. I’m sure most of these sets will get bigger renditions in the years to come.(UCS) 🤠
Luke's hut could have easily had another side added on a hinge so it could open, still allowing for interior access. Would definitely have added to the part count and cost, however.
I've always been shocked that Lego hasn't done at least one wave of sets that all included modular builds that could be put together to make a small Death Star build. I thought they would try that after that set with the gunner and Obi Wan, but no dice. They could have the wave include a gun as a small set, the Vader-Obi Wan dual as a medium set, and a scaled down canon as a large set, and release some vehicles with trench exteriors you could attach to round out the outside. Maybe even throw in the trash-compactor or something. The only potential problem is that it would need to be a wave focussed almost entirely on one movie, which Lego hasn't done for a while.
Honestly, the Scarif platform build was best location build to me- exept for its price :n
I love to see Coruscant in a micro City build. Or a ucs sith temple.
"We got Palpatine’s I MEAN snokes throne room” I’m laughing on the floor right now
👍I have one of those
I just bought the Last Jedi set because of this video 😅
totally agree, wheres the MODERATLY priced KAMINO stuff!!! As much as i want kamino stuff Lego would probably screw it up with the price. But maybe for 20th anniversary of Atack of the Clones??? Hopefully.
Wish i had that set All off Them
I always wanted the Crait defense
I found the rathtar escape set on a website of a store, with 50% off and 3 years after the release. And I didn't buy it, I have regretted that ever since. Probably my number 3 on the regrets of sets I had the chance to buy but skipped it, the first 2 are the UCS ewok village and the cloud city.

My feelings on landscape/structure sets: - They tend to be too small to properly capture the source material. - For this reason, I prefer to just build my own landscapes and structures. - However, the sets are small because of the desire to make them affordable, which I am in favour of. I remember being a child and my parents refusing to get me sets over £30.
