![]() This is probably a weird one for my second place minifigure – but for me, Han Solo in his Endor Outfit from 75094 Imperial Shuttle Tydirium has always been an incredibly memorable minifigure for me. I really appreciated this as it went a step further to make the characters feel similar – capturing perfectly the idea that they are in fact the same species. The other fantastic element here was the horn piece – which was also used for Darth Maul. I also think the face print here was fantastic – with the red eyes being incredibly prominent here. This was something which I hadn’t seen before this point – and I really appreciated how it made the figure feel a lot more rugged and bulky whilst still adding great levels of detail to the character. Savage’s minifigure is quite a simple one – but for me, I felt that it did something revolutionary in the form of its printed torso armour. Savage Opress is essentially coined as a replacement for Darth Maul within the series – created on Dathomir by the Nightsisters to serve sinister purposes for Palpatine and the rest of the rising Empire. ![]() This is a figure which won’t appeal to everyone – but as someone who adored army-building clone troopers as a kid, this set really hit the nostalgia buttons for me in all the right ways.Īt my third spot is a character who is arguably also one of the most interesting plot points in the whole of The Clone Wars television series – Savage Opress. I also adore how LEGO used the cloth skirt piece here to reflect the cloth elements of the characters on screen appearance. The real star of the show here is the gorgeous new helmet we got here – which feels sharp, crisp and really communicates the overall character and its appearance well. ![]() This is something which I never expected LEGO to do – so imagine my surprise when we got the perfect pack representing the 212 th Attack Battalion – including a brand-new mould for the Airborne Trooper we see in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Growing up, I had ALL the Hasbro figures from the Clone Wars and some of the main film characters – and I always loved when Hasbro released an assortment of different troopers in all kinds of equipment. I also love how LEGO even went as far as printing the hip piece here – adding additional subtle detailing which really compliments the overall appearance of the character.Īt my fourth spot, we have the 212 th Attack Battalion Airborne Trooper who came in 75036 Utapau Troopers. The amount of detail which has also been poured into the torso creates a fantastic-looking piece which captures the tactical rigs that the troopers wear in-game. I adore the various layers of grey printed detail here, and I also love the green highlights on the end of the helmet – capturing the appearance of the trooper perfectly compared to its on-screen counterpart. The first thing to note here is the beautiful helmet which the Death Trooper comes with. The LEGO version itself really captures the appearance of these characters – with various levels of intricate printing and detailing really communicating the sleek, stealthy design of the characters in the film. I can particularly remember being both entranced and terrified by the way these troopers communicated on screen – with their encrypted vocals feeling ever so slightly intimidating and horror-esque. They rocked gear and equipment which seemed far more advanced than the standard Stormtroopers – carrying grenades, side-arms and all kinds of tactical equipment which made them feel unique compared to their counterparts. ![]() I loved how, in Rogue One, these soldiers were categorised as the best of the best. I was lucky enough to own both sets – and a large amount of the attraction for me, personally, was the lure that the Death Troopers had. To start off with, we have the LEGO Death Troopers, which were released in two core sets – 75166 Imperial Trooper Battle Pack, and 75156 Krennic’s Imperial Shuttle. That said, I have dabbled back in and out here and there – owning many of the Rogue One sets amongst others, so without any further ado – let’s jump in and break down my favourite LEGO Star Wars Minifigures. I grew up with the fantastic Star Wars: The Clone Wars, so many of the sets I wanted and the figures I idolised as a child were themed around this show and the sets which were released from it. That, however, is because of the nature of my relationship with LEGO Star Wars. It is important to prelude this, I feel, by acknowledging that I am not as big a fan of LEGO Star Wars as other members of this website – so my opinions may be wildly different. Welcome to another Blog Post here on ! Today, with the recent hype around Star Wars and all the fantastic May the 4 th sales, deals and exclusives we saw from LEGO, I wanted to break down my Top 5 LEGO Star Wars Minifigures.
