@KosherPorky ikr personally I would love to see a reaper maybe even Sovereign it would definitely be a challenge to make a model of him

This set is criminally underrated. I got it for christmas in 2009 and built the whole thing in a day, i was only 8. It is a remarkably sturdy build and if you modify the interior you can fit many more minifigures.

I’ll never forget getting this set. I went to legoland with my family and they told me I could pick out one set and I choose this one. I was so excited that I built it on my bed! I woke up the next morning and found it smashed on the ground lmao

were you playing with it in your sleep or something?

Back in 2008 I didn’t like it simply because it wasn’t symmetrical, but now (especially with how prominent it became and Anakin’s blue paint job to match the 501st) I seriously wish I would have bought it! I would seriously love a remake!

I don’t get the hate for it. People seem to hate the Lego set, but what’s there to hate, since it’s accurate to the show? Sure it looks bulky and one-coloured and boring, but that was kind of the point of the ship in the clone wars, because it shows that no matter the ship design, Anakin can fly it.

It might be ugly in the show, and therefore ugly in Lego. But accuracy doesn’t make for an interesting set, especially compared to other sets out there. I don’t hate it, but it’s definitely on the bottom of my list of sets to spend over $100 on.

I can very clearly remember going to the store and choosing what I might like to get for Christmas. This was simply a starship that wasn't symmetrical. Definitely, the set wasn't popular because it released in a time when lego could do no wrong. The AT-TE was too awesome not to get it. The gunship was a must-have. It was the first time everyone wanted to build a clone army. Isn't the legendary MTT from that era too? In other words, if you had a birthday or christmas coming up, this set wasn't on your mind as a kid. Not because it's bad, but because we were all much more fascinated with the enormous war between clones and droids at the time. Remember the clone wars movie? Where this ship is a main plot point? Yeah, I hardly remember anything about Rota the hutt in the Twilight, but I'll never forget that awesome battlefield at the start of the movie, or the scene where the AT-TE climb up the wall. It's very hard to place ourselves back in 2008 and see this set for what it was, to us, at that time. Now it's awesome and we take the clone wars & their battles for granted. Back then it was the first large-scale warfare we had seen since the prequel movies. It spoke to our imagination so much more.

I had this set and i hated it, i still do. Its just the most ship ever and its so uninspiring. Its literally a big grey box Also on top of that the clone wars movie was very badly received at the time and i only starting like the clone wars around the time season 3-4 were released. (To be fair english isnt my first language so i only new english when i was around 12-13 years old) Thats when i was old enough to really like the clone wars but i still hate this ship lol

David for real you play with my emotions and memories. I wasn‘t at the Toysrus event back in 2008 because I think they didn‘t lauched this event here in Germany as well but what I can clearly remember is buying the The Twilight and the Homing Spider Droid two days before the premier of the The Clone Wars Movie on August 14th watching the movie with my father in a small cinema. After the purchase of those two sets we drove back home to my grandparents I just grabed some fresh donuts and started building. Man thanks for this video! For real I watching you now since 2008 when the Lego KZread Community was very small and most videos had only 480p resolutions 😅. Keep going what you doing 💪🏼…

nostalgia trip. Honestly, one of or if not thee best Star Wars wave to come out

I remember discovering you as a kid, back around 2012. I was blown away that one person could have so many clone troopers! I loved watching all of your reviews and fondly remember waiting for each week of Building Kashyyyk. You got me to start my channel to enter your EXO Suit giveaway, and inspired me to start uploading a few years later. Even got to meet you at the first Philly Brick Fest, I was over the moon. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, this era of Lego Star Wars and Lego KZread was the absolute best. Looking forward to many more years of videos from you!

It's so beautiful 😢

I think for the most part everyone agrees the faces on this era of lego star wars minifigures looked a little scary lol, there is a charm to them though. It's very exclusive to this time period and anytime I see one of the minifigures a wave of nostalgia starts rushing in.

His face as he feels “the glossy box art”… He’s so excited 😂😂

I have been watching your videos for 8 years

It's crazy to think you have been on KZread for 15 years.....I've watched you since that first AT-TE review back in 2008. You are my longest tenured KZreadr. Thanks for the decade and a half of great content

I usually don’t subscribe to channels, but after watching numerous videos from this challenge and going through this video and seeing and hearing the joy, excitement and history of the set and how this channel all began, I had to do my small part and subscribe. I’m not even a big Star Wars fan (and I know the channel is much more than that) but I still watch the majority of these videos because it’s always great to get someone else’s perspective on Lego sets and also see how their fandom leads to MOC’s and other info shared. Best of luck in getting to 1 million! I’ve done my part!

i watched legoboy a ton when I was 5-7 years old. thank you for everything ❤

YES! Finally, someone else acknowledging this beauty! This was my very first lego set, and it's such an underrated set! Is it literally just a gray block with a wing and an engine? Yes. Does that stop it from being awesome? NO! It was the fourth episode in my series: LEGO of the WEEK, and it's probably my favorite episode and my favorite set in general. So happy it's getting the recognition it deserves.

Would you sell a sealed one? I missed this one as a kid as well and have been wanting to pick one up.

Enjoyed seeing an old set I got for Christmas being given some love. Twighlight was such an underrated ship honestly. Would love to see a more modern version of this.

You earned a sub by your appreciative review of this set. This ship is iconic to me and really brings me back to watching the clone wars with my 7 year old son just around the start of the pandemic. While the build of this specific set isn’t very desirable, I’m still closet wishing that either Lego or a reasonable play-scale MOC revamp of this will one day surface. Fingers crossed. Thank you for reviewing and going down memory lane for us. ❤

This was such a throwback for me! Thank you for making this

I had this bad boy as a kid! I'm not sure why I bought this over the AT-TE lol. I feel like I was a weird kid...

It would be great for LEGO to re-make The Twilight because it’s a great set for Clone Wars fans, but for me the 2008 set just lacks on too many levels. I actually had the chance to buy it sealed not long ago for $180 and passed, simply because it isn’t one from the 2008 wave that screams out at me to must have.

This would honestly be a neat remake if they scaled it down and included early show variants of some clone wars characters

limited edition was something we saw a lot with bionicle. Pretty much every wave beyond like 2004 or 2005 had a limited edition set for either toys r us or walmart. One of those sealed walmart sets goes for like $600 now

Got this for Christmas when I was five. One of my all time favorites

I luckily got this set when it was released all those years ago and it’s still one of my all time favorites sets in my collection, it’s just so nostalgic to me after watching the Clone Wars movie and show.

Besides the AT-TE, I know it will never happen but if they remade the entirety of this wave with modern techniques and updated printing on the figures that would be absolutely amazing.

0:23 bro those boxes gave me nostalgia haha, I remember them clear as day. I was there on the opening weekend of the animated clone wars movie in cinemas. Cant believe that was in 2008, 16 years ago.

Happy 15th Anniversary to your channel! It’s too bad I deleted my old channels a while back and this is my current (and temporary) main channel. But throughout my time, really loved your videos and this review! So proud of what you have accomplished!

I’m one of the rare ones also! I got this set as a birthday gift when I was younger. Totally underrated imho, I thought this set was awesome! I still got all original pieces, figures, box, and instructions. I actually just recently rebuilt it too from out of my storage :)

I bought it about 4 years go I still have the box lol I understand his excitement

Great channel. No BS and a passion for the hobby. Please keep the content coming.

Bro the NOSTALGIA of this set, definitely takes me back.

Man that intro got me in my feels…so nostalgic

My man completely blew me back to 2008...Legoboy.... I can't...I can't....I'm crying

Oh man, I had to share this set with my little brother and we LOVED it. We filled in the open back section with a custom interior and it was a LOT of fun with a large interior and many features

I got this when I was a kid! It was one of my first Star Wars sets, and for a long time remained the largest set I had. I used to play with it in battles all the time and had it as the centerpiece of most of my displays. I just recently finished restored all of the missing pieces since I parted out all the sets I had at the time (Which I came to deeply regret as I grew up), and have it displayed me now as I type. Such an underrated set!

I never got this set at release but my friend Billy bought it back on release. Years later when we got into highschool he was getting rid of some legos and this was one of the sets with figs he was going to sell. Sold it to me for only $50. 100% complete minus the box.

OH MAN! I remember July 26th 2008 SO well! It was like christmas in the middle of summer for 13 year old me. I remember picking up the Homing Spider Droid with Phase 1 Commander Fox that night. Later that summer, I also got myself the Magnaguard Starfighter and the Gunship. And I remember getting the Twilight for christmas that year. It's an odd set, but I honestly kind of liked it... until I tore it apart for parts, of course. Good times! 😅

Nostalgia man. I still have my sets from 13 years ago all dusty now but started cleaning em. And this video popped up and I somehow ended up at target and purchased 10 packs of the 501st and 332nd 😂

The only things really holding the set back is an interior (although I'm not sure how well you could access it with the construction of the roof), and some kind of locking mechanism for the lower wing when in attack position. It's not the most glamorous set, but what do you want for something being accurate to the source material? Despite its faults, it still has a number of pretty impressive features and building techniques that you wouldn't normally think about. Is it worth it on the aftermarket? Only for a collector. Back in the day? While a bit steep, still worth the price considering just how large some of those pieces actually are. The Twilight really is only featured in the movie and Season 1 though. Had the T-6 Shuttle not been created for Season 2, the Twilight probably would have gotten more use past the first few episodes of Season 2. It really wasn't until Season 5 with Obi-wan's use of it that it was finally acknowledged again, and then promptly destroyed. To be honest, I didn't even really think about it being the Twilight until Obi-wan says that it's the last time he borrows a ship from Anakin, and there was actually a scene cut for time that involved Obi-Wan going to Anakin to get the Twilight, and Ahsoka questioning if that was a good idea because it wasn't in the best of shape. I think it would have been great to see it used a bit more prominently without T-6 or Eta-Class Shuttles being so heavily used in Seasons 2 and 3. The Twilight would have made a great ship to have be in Grievous Intrigue in Season 2, the Mortis Arc in Season 3 (They were meeting at a secret rendezvous point before getting sucked into Mortis), and the Deception Arc of Season 4 (Have Anakin and Ahsoka chase down our bounty hunters with something that doesn't scream Jedi). Even just simple one-time cameos would have made a difference, and that's not to slight the shuttles, but if Anakin is going on a mission, he's going to trust his ship that he's kitted out. Maybe he even prefers to do so because of the T-6 being too slow and why they got shot down over Felucia (It does technically take place earlier than a lot of Season 2 for whatever reason despite being the 17th episode). The other Jedi can fly the government issue ships, Anakin's definitely going to be using the one he's customized. Not to mention there are covert missions that Anakin would be going on, just like why Obi-Wan needed it, but we just never saw them. And the whole point of giving Anakin the Twilight to begin with was so that it wouldn't be a total lie that Luke's father used to fly a Spice Freighter for a living. While still technically true, let's get a bit more mileage out of it, or at least show Anakin struggle with the government issued ships and being a Jedi with attachments with something as simple as a ship of all things. Show that the Jedi really don't like Anakin having this ship, do something, don't just not use it for no reason because there were new toys to play with. Okay, rant about the Twilight over.

Well, I'm probably the rare one, but I did buy this set when it came out. I actually was in love with the twilight design. Granted it color leaves things to be desired, but the shape, OH THE SHAPE of the ship was so swooshable. Like you I was surprise by Lego choice to not use the empty space in the back. So I modified the set to have a med bay where you place the R2-D2 on the side, and removed the winch and cabinet, while making another winch setup in the area where the back hanger door is lock open (To match the show, Your thinking of the winch system is the Season 1 episode 2. When Anakin Rescues Plo Koon Escape Pod) Then modified the empty space into the back hanger bay interior we see in the show.

My dad got it for me as a christmas gift. One of my favorite sets that I keep on display!

I’m just about to pick up a Freeci speeder (spelling?) so was watching some reviews and stumbled across yours from many many moons ago. I was about to sign off once I watched but instead wanted to find out if you were still doing this. Channel has seen a ton of growth man and the videos look great. Some great new content for me to binge watch. Thank you. Consider me subscribed!!

I find this so ironic, back in the day this was the only set I wanted for Christmas, and that set brought years of joy

Wow! I missed out on this one! Such a sleeper set to be honest! I might have to pick one up if they have one at Brickfair this year!

I actually still own this set i got it back in 2008 And its funny you mentioned the empty space inside that could’ve been used for something, i actually modified the area to have more space for minifigs, i just took out the tow hitch and put a simple plate in there 👌

THIS IS THE CONTENT WE WANT DAVID

this ship needs more mocs. imagine a minifig scale with a minifig scale Delta7B in the hanger

I had this back in the day it was one of my favorite ones to actually play with

Hey man I love your videos you inspire me to make mocs

I Found most of the pieces for it in bulk Lego (partly assembled), have been working on completing it for 2 years now, with only 3 pieces missing, which I will be buying in my next BL order. Even though it is just a "big gray box", it is such an underrated set! Can't really tell why, it's just nice for some reason, and brings a lot of CW-realted memories every time I look at it.

you can actually hold it with two fingers under the top gun when its up, and its very easy to modify the back door to open up a lot more and put a big plate on the bottom technic bricks.

I remember I got this set in a lot deal from ebay back in 2013 for Christmas. The set is really big and bulky but I absolutely love it

My mom bought this for me back in the day when I was like 6, it’s completely destroyed now but definitely a nostalgia trip

I remember subbing at around the 20K mark such a great channel

I cannot believe you haven’t gotten to 1 mil yet your such a deserving KZreadr

I really hope that we get a rebuplic Y-wing, been wanting one since i saw the original back as a kid and i am just sitting here waiting patiently for a new one

I had this one! I remember being frustrated that the cockpit was small and separate but it had a cool mechanism for opening

This is honestly in my top 10 sets of all time, absolutely amazing ship in cannon

Love your channel bro 🙌

I love this set, one of the few Clone Wars sets I still own! I was lucky enough to grab it about 6 years ago new for a good price. I always liked the Twilight in general as it was a nod to when Obi-Wan told Luke in a new hope that his father flew cargo ships!

always wanted this set as a kid, actually managed to get a pre owned one for 60 bucks back then. was dissapointed with the empty space in the middle, so i just built an interiour myself, worked out great actually, still looks quite legit. Ship still sits in my showcase today, love it.

Faaaack it’s the true one set we all want, needs a remake as this ship was a good team ship(sure all the fighters are great to play with but to have the og team travel together is cannon)

Wish I got it too!! Such a unique ship with such a unique role in swtcw

I remember seeing all these sets back in those days, and I only ended up buying about 3-4 sets of the entire Clone Wars wave, since the entire series was foreign to me. I watched the Clone Wars only last year (2022) and Rebels and Bad Batch this year (2023) and I finally appreciate the Lego that came out then, and wish that I knew about all of this sooner.

I've been trying to collect all the 2008 sets from that waive, and I do agree with totally forgetting about it. It's definitely a set I'd like to have and probably get used, lol.

I had a dream last night that Lego released a new version of the Twilight. This is surreal to be seeing this pop up on my feed immediately after that.

I truly love the set. I modified it so much to fix all the gaps (only one of few sets I upgraded). Not sure why this is such a underrated set.

I came here for the review, but stayed for the channel lore.

i managed to get a complete in box Republic Attack Shuttle from that same wave, at a sale last year. was something i wanted so badly as a kid.

Cool great video! Maybe you can make a modern day version of this ship?

Hardcore Clone Wars fan that didn't realise until recent times how important this ship was.

I bought this set about 4 years ago after getting back into Lego. I still have to build it! It does have a big footprint.

Dude this set is awesome, such an iconic ship

That’s funny I was just looking on eBay for one . I love this set and brings back memories

Just came back to lego a couple months ago and i have to say.. when you talked about the lack of numbers on the bags and in my personal opinion, garbage instructions.. i had vietnam flashbacks 😂.. would be nice if they re release some of these sets someday als a sort of retro thing, they could easily find out which are popular enough for a re release

I think I’d mod it where u could fit the escape pod inside the cargo bay, yes it’s supposed to be a cargo bay to rescue plokoon , and his clones.

I’ve gotten out of Lego recently but your videos are always so well shot, edited, etc. that I have to tune in. Great work bro

May revamp it, however, tiles would be used sparingly to keep an ample amount of studs showing so it comes across as 'ugly' still. Keeping all of the old functions, but maybe adding some spring loaders etc.

One of my favorite Star Wars games from childhood was the Fierce Twilight. So I have a strong nostalgia thing for this ship.

I always liked The Twilight. It's a cool unique mini freighter.

I think the tow cable was used in the malevolence arc when they rescued the escape pod

I still remember my grandpa got me the twight for my birthday. It was misisng pieces but just recently i went to bricklink and managed to finish it!

i'm pretty sure my friend was the only persn that had this set and he took it apart immediately lol. i have a ton of nostalgia for this ship even if it's not the coolest design.

I’m making up for 10 years of a Lego-less life by buying older sets not that I’m not a kid and have money lol

Wow I was not prepared for the nostalgia..... Wish we could go back to the more simple times man. The community was so great

This ship has awesome structure and i my opinion must be reworked and re-released again hopefully soon! The interior should be more accessible than before.

I love legos especially the clone wars my best friend at the time took me to se the clone wars movie which was awesome and then we found out about the animated tv series we would hang out and build Star Wars legos we built some clone bases to go with all the clone trooper. Good times.

Twilight! I just recently got this myself, its very underrated imo

Nice twilight start awsome star wars set

I got this set for Christmas from my Aunt who only came to visit during the holidays. Wish i still had it for sure

I really loved the shipman the show and as a Lego set. I think I bought it in 2015/16. it was really nice to build it Blutbild didn’t liked that it don’t had a floor on the inside so I added one

I owned this back in the day and loved it great set IMO

Dang, these were the glory days of Star Wars Legos! I always wanted the 2008 AT-TE with Captain Rex. Sadly, I never got it. Now it is to expensive to buy. It make me so mad/sad!

Literally just bought this used on eBay a week ago. Solid set

hey david i was in your whatnot stream great stream altho i fell asleep before the end

Today I found out that people actually hated the Twilight. I always found it to be a cool unique ship personally.

I like the set because of nostalgia. I actually bought a Lego bin and found the entire set (and lodes more Clone Wars set), sadly I didn’t get the minifigures (I got them from earlier so that essentially a big problem). But I got the bin really cheap, like 70$ or something like that. I rly enjoyed finding it.

It’s wild, I was there for that first video. Crazy that how far we’ve all come in life. Btw, my grandparents got that set for me on my birthday. I was 9
