Greetings,
Rebelscum! San Diego Comic-Con is here and we will be bringing you as much coverage as we can gather while having only blue milk and an occasional meiloorun fruit to sustain us. Bobby, Nick, and Joshua will be on the ground getting what news they can, and I will be back here at home base to try and get it to you as quickly as I can.
Yesterday at SDCC, the LEGO Group announced three new additions to the LEGO®
Star Wars™ range. Two sets were connected to the upcoming
Star Wars series
Ahsoka - Ahsoka Tano’s T-6 Jedi Shuttle, and New Republic E-Wing™ vs. Shin Hati’s Starfighter™ - plus a brick-built display model of everyone’s favorite wookiee, Chewbacca™, was revealed.
The two Ahsoka sets have been announced in the lead up to the launch of
Star Wars: Ahsoka series, which is streaming on Disney+ from August 23. Set after the fall of the Empire, Ahsoka follows the former Jedi knight Ahsoka Tano (played by Rosario Dawson) as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy. These two new LEGO brick-built starships invite fans to join Ahsoka – warrior, outcast and rebel – on her adventures around the galaxy.

Jens Kronvold Frederiksen, Design Lead for LEGO Star Wars, commented: “We’re so excited to bring these three notable products to the LEGO®

Star Wars: Ahsoka series is a major development within the Star Wars series, and we absolutely loved bringing these exciting vessels to life in LEGO brick form. We can’t wait for fans to begin on their latest adventure by building these fantastic sets, immersing themselves in the latest epic story from the Galaxy Far, Far Away.
César Carvalhosa Soares, Senior Designer at the LEGO Group, said: “Designing Chewie in all his glory was one of my favourite projects so far – it was a great challenge to capture his full body of hair in brick-form!”
All three of the new products can be paired with the LEGO Builder app. This nifty app has as tools for builders to zoom in and rotate a 3D digital version of the real-life construction model as they build, save sets and track their progress.
