actually vader only uses the SUIT emphasis on SUIT, he can live for days without the helmet, He only died in the movies because he was electricutied by sidious. and vader is battle damaged because his own "apprentice" hurt him & (almost) killed the emperor + vader = killin him self, starting the rebellion & they used his family crest as the sign His name is: Glen Maveric i thnk

I saw this a couple months ago, and I own it! Aren't i super cool... Sadly, Vader's half-of a helmet is actually just the visor for some old scuba diving sets. I was pissed.

@mishakoz:
That's exactly what it is. They resisted doing EU designs for several years, but finally caved with the TIE Droid in a four-TIE set (two regular, one Vader, one Droid), and have since also done a TIE Crawler. The army builder packs also feature what appear to be some original designs.

@enewtabie:
Sounds like you haven't had a go at the UCS Millennium Falcon. That's the first set I can ever remember leaving party built when I went to bed.

@Lstormy10:
Yes, hopefully SW:TFU > SW:SOTE, which was the last time they put such effort into promoting an EU project.

@Evdor:
Been done.

@Babygames:
Yeah, the new finger-shot missile pieces rock...when they're not so loose that they simply fall out when you tip them on end.

@Rubiximus:
Worship the comic. Is it not nifty?

@Stevedroid:
Wait...you're just now having a problem with an asymetrical SW ship? And not 31 years ago when we first glimpsed the Millennium Falcon? Or how about the TIE Bomber. This thing looks most closely related to the Blacktron Renegade, but it's not like it's exploring new territory, even for SW.

I can't blame you guys for not being up to date on lego as much as myself (someone who blew 500 dollars on an INCREDIBLE Lego millennium falcon) but it is funny to see people still surprised at the Rogue Shadow lego.

I plan to get the cheapo Star Destroyer cause of all the awesome minifigs... maybe later down the line I'll get the good-lookin one. Mmmmm.... I can't find the MTT anywhere here in Toronto, tho.

You know what would be funny? Is if the game turned out to be awful. Even for a Star Wars game, the level of hype for this thing is kind of nutty. Yes the technology behind it sounds interesting, but when was the last time a Star Wars game, one by Lucasarts themselves anyway, all that great?

but some looks weird like this one.
This is the one of the ugliest ship in SW universe.
To bad Doug Chiang is no longer Lucasfilm member.
He made great E1&E2 ships.

@SlowDeath420: Well yeah, but can you imagine a bunch of hanging chunks of lego bricks with a scattered pile of small bits burried into the rug? I'm just saying that'd be a hell of a way to be woken up in the middle of the night.

@enewtabie: The Republic gunship and AT-TE are two of my favorite Star Wars vehicles, and lego sets. If they're redoing those I dunno, it's like I want the redone version of the MTT, but I already "have one" and they're so expensive. Maybe I should just go for it and buy more sets, and string up the flying ones. If I was patient and had the money I'd buy the clone trooper and droid "booster packs" and recreate all kinds of little battles. Then look at the floor and understand fully how much of a nerd I am.

@Buttah: Heh that would be way too post-modern for the Lego and Lucasart corporations: the Lego adaptation of a game based on the original Star Wars films which already have Lego adaptations.

Well, it would be either post-modern, or a really extreme case of franchising gone to the lowest reaches of hell. Which I suppose this is. Lego are bound to run out of original film stuff to put out there eventually, and I for one don't think a "Obscure, unnamed spacecraft glanced in a single frame of Attack of the Clones, although it may be lens flair" playset would be all that fun.
