LEGO Star Wars

So, anyone bite on the Ewok Village yet?

No Yub Nubs for me yet.

 

[UTtoyfan]

I knew you cats would get peeved!

It's just about ten or so extras, nothing special either, that were left over after my one and only Lego build. R2!

You can send me back the whole thing while you are at it.

 

[furystorm]

No!

Are you going to go for it, Ben? Just seems like a lot of space that I'd be giving to my least favorite part of the trilogy.

Ewoks aren't my favorite thing to come out of Star Wars, but I kind of enjoy them too. I thought their segments were more enjoyable than the Kashyyk scenes in Return of the Sith and they're way cooler than Gungans. The build of the Lego set is also really nice. I'll probably wait to see if I can get a good deal on it, but I'd like to have one at some point.

 

[FLOSI]

It's not as if I dislike the Ewoks at all, but the pacing is slow and more deliberate when they're on Endor. The Luke/Leia/Han scenes are important, the Speeder Bike chase is awesome and there's lots of fun action but I always want more Luke/Vader/Emperor at the end of ROTJ and find myself very into that while the DS2 battle and Endor bunker battle are just kinda there in the background.

 

[Boba Ben]

That's a good point. The Luke/Vader final battle and Lando's Falcon run were a lot more exciting. Like you said, though, the speeder bike chase was cool and I was glad to see more AT-AT and AT-ST action on Endor. Those are my favorite Star Wars vehicles, so that was cool. I also like the part where the one Ewok dies and the other one's shaking him to wake him up. There should have been more of that kind of stuff. Ewok agony.

Thanks for the pics Bustajesse! Hope you share some pics of it fully assembled. Such a tempting set to go along with my AT-STs.

Chien, I triple dog dare you.

Also went to TRU and Target today. They both have an awesome display of minifigs of the new Star Wars wave with the JEK-14 SF and the Homing Spider. Was going to get the HS anyway but wow is it impressive.

With the right costume, they might just think you're a tall kid. Go as a ghost or something.
