I don't think it's a minifigure thing, I think it's more so the fact that the Falcon looks the same from episodes 4-6. Sure, minifigures imply the time a set is meant to take place, but, really, you could've reenacted the Battle of Endor with the previous OT Falcons with a little imagination from the minifigures since the ship itself looks identical.
This really a non issue. The ship is the same as it was in Empire. You want Lando to pilot it at Endor? Then, place that figure in the cockpit. Then, simulate the dish damage by removing it from the hull. It's Lego, afterall.
I’m not sure if saying that the millennium falcon is ‘inexplicably’ connected with Han Solo is correct, I think that inextricably or similar would be more correct in this context
Uh, I don’t understand why they *can’t* make one. The discussion only talked about why maybe they haven’t. But they definitely could if they wanted to. There’s a scene in ROTJ where Han is around/next to his ship, so that’s not stopping them.
Yah the value is the set it's self for the kids, unless they really love certain characters it's still just a minifig to them, you can already get a bunch of minifigs, it's the interesting building and play features of the set that draws the kids to it.
When I was a kid I DEFINITELY would have cared about a Han Solo in my Falcon. I think a lot of kids care about the characters just as much as the ships.
As much as i love the idea of a ROTJ falcon, im fine with the idea of a ESB falcon with accompanying sets that can kinda convert it over to a ROTJ falcon with other minifigures on shelves
Simple fix. We use the scene where Lando and Han are talking about the ship just before take off. You could get Lando, Han, Nien Nunb, Chewie, and a Rebel Trooper/Gunner.
It’s kind of funny because in ROTJ, there was no physical Falcon. All scenes were either a Matte painting, a model or the cockpit and sets. They didn’t keep the exterior for some reason, but it’s in the making of ROTJ book.
Slight correction: there are no shots with a physical Falcon in the final cut of the movie. One was build and shot for the sandstorm scene right before the departure from Tatooine but that was thankfully cut in edit
I'd absolutely class a (practical) model as THE physical falcon as far as the OT was concerned. The ones built for the set were nice and all but they don't do their own stunts.
@@RAFMnBgaming yeh cool what I meant was there was no real interior scenes like there were in the other two. Some deleted scenes of hallways and gunner seats.
@@eightcoins4401 Then there's no argument to making an EP6 Falcon, if it's the exact same across the OT aside from very minor details, then they just need to release the needed minifigs somewhere, you can literally display your Falcon set with any minifig you want. If you want more accurate scale, you got the UCS Falcon, you want better playability for swoshing around, get the Ep 5 Falcon.
They are not all the same. The bottom of the falcon was changed rather significantly between Episodes 4 and 5 to allow for more landing gear. However, I do not know of any significant changes between 5 and 6.
A poor conclusion imo. Obiwan jacking Greivous’s fighter for an episode is not comparable to Lando captaining the Falcon for the battle of Endor. It’s an iconic part of a climactic battle. I think the bigger issue would be supporting figures. Besides Lando and Nien there’s just a handful of generic Rebel commandos, and while I could see two or three of them coming along, that’s only 5 figures when a Falcon often comes with 7 to 10 or more, and there aren’t any droids either. But even then they could just give us Endor Luke, Han and Leia along with Threepio and R2… so I feel the other deal is market place availability. The UCS is still out there and so is the Rise of Skywalker one. A RotJ Falcon would be the same as those just with two different characters. It’s a shame because I want one, and I want other Jedi variant ships like Wedge’s X-Wing or Endor Gold Leader’s Y-Wing but there isn’t a spot for those right now.
The extra minifigs for a ROTJ Falcon just needs to include characters from the earlier Home One scenes. Here is my idea for an ROTJ Millennium Falcon minifigure lineup: 1. Han Solo on Home One ("she won't get a scratch" scene or the meeting scene) 2. Chewbacca 3. General Lando 4. Nien Nunb 5. Lieutenant Blount 6. Home One Leia; or Mon Mothma; or General Madine 7. Random astromech from the hanger
@@destroyerofworlds6824 Lando, Nien, Crix Madine, Two Generic Commandos, and Mon Mothma and perhaps Admiral Ackbar would be a pretty solid line up I think!
I think a closer example would be Prequel Trilogy Slave One but it comes with young Boba Fett and other Clone Wars Bounty Hunters like Aura Sing. It’s a good arc from Clone Wars that had a decent focus and minifigs people likely want. But if you get a PT Slave One you want a Jango Fett minifig
@@ZoomerUnion true but those headprints are really outdated, with that new mould it would be logical to use it more than once but just like the majority of the Mos Eisley Cantina aliens, I don't see it coming back. would love to be proven wrong.
Nien numb and the dark side falcon are the biggest clue that they will never do one from return of the jedi. You'd only get a falcon with Nien numb and Lando. Han solo at best in his Endor atire. And maybe a couple rebel troopers. Not the best figure selection when you can get the main cast in every other versions. While Lando can always appear in any cloud city and Tatooine Jabba adjacent set. Also sad the fact they'd never do a Mantis set for cal kestis lol
Not like they couldnt include the main cast anyways. Heck, hear me out, they could just make a millenium falcon thats time-agnostic. Include han, chewie, luke, leia, obi wan, r2, 3po, lando, nien, and a rebel, and itd sell, assuming there hadnt been a falcon in recent days. Thats 9-10 figures depending on if they keep the rebel. If thats too many figures to the size, they could always include a bit of spaceport, or an x-wing companion, and go up a price size, and lego fans would still eat it up. Theres always solutions.
Exactly. Making Lego sets takes time and effort to desighn them. Every Falcon especially does, we just occasionally get an updated one if newer pieces or techniques become available. The Sequel Falcon made sense, it was a little different to the OG due to years of neglect and damage, plus the new dish. The Falcon is the same in the OT with at best minor unimportant changes. So it all comes down to the minifigs, which we can always get in a new set or just make a minifig pack if it's a minifig people are desperate to get. Plus these sets often cost a bit, so pretty stupid to have like Solo, 4-5, 6, then a Sequel one, just nonsensical. If we would get a new Falcon set it would just be best as an update for the kid play scaled one, UCS Falcon is already the best for collectors wanting scale and accuracy, at least the best you can get for Lego's limitations.
I feel like the reason is just that in Return of the Jedi the millenium falcon just has a smaller role. Obviously it blows up the death star, but the coincides with Luke fighting vader and vader's redemption. Vader and Luke obviously overshadow the millenium falcon and are the real climactic battle. It's just not really as iconic or memorable as it was in other films. Sort of like how Yoda vs palpatine in rots was overshadowed by anakin and obiwan, and i dont think we've ever gotten a set based off their duel.
Easiest solution... Limited run with multipack containing 3 sets for some anniversary of Return of the Jedi, which would be later sold separately in following quater - Tydirium Lambda with Endor crew - X-wing with Wedge Antilles - Falcon with Lando and Nien Nub (no Han since he was released in sibling set)
not to mention that the ROS Falcon still has (versions of) 4 characters who are commonly associated with the Falcon, Lando, Chewbacca, R2, and 3P0 plus you might recall that for much of that Falcon's shelf life, there was also a microfighter Falcon with OT Han available on shelves, so a person who really wanted a Han for the Falcon could have it for just 10 more bucks
I think the one shot we have for an Endor Falcon is for a big anniversary for Return of the Jedi. It would also need to be a window without another version of the Falcon floating around.
Back in 2004 we got an Empire Strikes Back Millennium Falcon from the initial scene of the Hoth escape, which was pretty interesting. The figures were very coveted.
I think its also worth considering that comparatively speaking, the Falcon has much less of a role in ROTJ compared to the other 6 movies it appears in probably the best chance of getting a ROTJ Falcon would be as a "Trilogy edition" set, which would come with relevant characters from all the movies of the OT (ANH Han Luke and Leia, Chewbacca, R2, 3P0, ESB Han and Leia, ROTJ Lando, and Nien Nub, maybe you'll get Vader and Obi-Wan in there), but that's unlikely to be a retail set, more than likely a UCS
Here's my take, for what it's worth. I have the 75192 UCS Falcon. Considering there are 2 versions depicted with this set, ESB and TFA, which basically chronologically ''sandwich'' ROTJ, it would look exactly the same as in ROTJ. I purchased the new Nien Nunb, the 2009 general Lando Calrissian, converted the included ESB Han into ROTJ by giving him the black jacket/tan arms torso, and purchased the captain Rex Endor trooper and changed the head. He looks pretty much exactly like one of the gunners in the cockpit behind Lando and Nien. Done.
The Falcon is identical from TESB and ROTJ. The reason why there are 2 different Lego version from those films is because the actual prop models are different in the films. But the TESB, ROTJ, TFA are the same models minus the rectangular dish.
The reason why there are a few different LEGO versions is because they were made years apart and a remake was due. But yes, the prop between ESB and ROTJ are the same. I’m taking about minifigures.
Honestly, i agree with most comments. Falcon looks exactly the same throughout the trilogy, and Mister Nub feels a little bit too obscure for kids, and most people associate Lando with cloud city. And adding two figures to regular Falcon roaster might be too much for Lego to do. Especially since apparently minifigures take a lot of set budget, at least if couple of interviews will few Ninjago designers are something to go off of.
I see the thought pattern with the Grievous starfighter example, but it’s not really the same. Yoda and Bail have absolutely no connection to the Soulless one, except that it’s parked inside their ship, which is like a 10 second scene anyways. Whereas Nien Numb and Lando piloted the Falcon for the entire 3rd act of return of the Jedi, which is a huge and extremely memorable sequence. I think a falcon with those mini figures would make sense. And if they really need to include Han Solo, then just include the Endor Han and Chewbacca too
and there's slim chance of a ROTJ Falcon coming out any time soon, the best time for it to happen was last year with ROTJ's 40th, but that opportunity has passed, the Dark Falcon is currently available, and LEGO's policy based off the shelf life of Prior Falcons seems to be to always keep one version on the shelves, there's a distinct possibility of the Falcon returning in that movie about the rebuilding of the Jedi Order coming out in 2025 or 2026, so LEGO will want a set based off of that, and ANH's 50th anniversary is coming up, the Falcon is the most logical way to celebrate that so yeah, the earliest possibility for a ROTJ Falcon would probably be 2029, AT BEST, and that's not even accounting for other potential projects that might release featuring the Falcon (let's not kid ourselves, Lucasfilm is at least considering a cartoon about the OT characters set between the movies)
The 2019 Rise of Skywalker Falcon doesn't have Han and is still on shelves 5 years later. Which is wild considering how bad the movie was. Even if Han & Chewie weren't in it, they could do Lando, Nien Nunb, 2 Rebel crewmen....and this might be a good opportunity to give us Rebel Commanders like Mon Mothma and General Crix.
I think they'll do a RotJ Falcon eventually but I agree that the Nien Numb minifig means it probably won't be for the foreseeable future. I could also see them making the 3rd version of the UCS Falcon both ep4 and ep6 themed, like how the current version is both ep5 and ep7 themed, but that'll also be at least 10 years from now, if it happens.
Your point in the end doesn't make much sense. There was a Rebel Hijacked Imperial Shuttle released in 2015, based on the scene where they hijack the ship on Endor. Not a single Darth Vader, Emperor or Royal Guards included, even though its characters associated with most of the ships appearances in the OT.
Even then you can still get those specific minifigs anyway and use the shuttle as any other Imperial Shuttle since it wasn't a unique desighn, just the scene was iconic.
Could still add a Han solo to the episode 6 Millennium Falcon . A Millennium Falcon with only two figures seams a bit small amount of figures for such a big set. And Han solo did talk to Lando about taking the Millennium Falcon before the battle. Could make a scene based on the Hanger. And ad Endor versions(luke and Leia) and Home one crew(Admiral Akbar, Mon moth ma and misc Calamarian). P.s I wonder if the more crucial component is Chewbacca. A kid might like the big dog man more then the "just a guy" guy.
I don't care about a Rotj falcon, there's not enough changes to the ship to give a crap about it. What saddens me is that we got Cal kestis as an anniversary fig...which means no Lego mantis ship 😢
There's just no point in releasing a set that only the smallest of small subsections would understand the changes of it. I understand fans of Star Wars wanting one of every variant, but we've consistently got a variant of Falcon on the table. There's already an overflow in Star Wars sets, my area can't ever manage to push a lot of these off the shelves simply because people stopped caring. We've still got 2 year old sets in the DFW area because of star wars fatigue
Just, never say never. Lego does unpredictable things aaaall the time. Who expected Avatar sets? Who expected a dark side falcon? Who expected a year partially themed around space?
Disney has some weird demands in their star wars sets. There had to be a set based on an attraction in disneyland and the main ship from a beloved game franchise doesnt get made
It's interesting because a RotJ has more merit than any other version from the OT. Obviously as others have said you could still include Han and Chewy from the Home One scene, but you could also include a play feature where the radar dish flies off! At the end of the day it's not even an issue at all, it's still just the Falcon, but it's definitely curious
Another reason why there'll never be a Return of the Jedi Falcon is the following: The Falcon doesn't physically change at all between the events of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, so why bother releasing an entirely new Falcon variant that's just going to be a copy of an existing variant? Just use the existing one and put out a Calrisian minifigure in a blind bag. Problem solved.
honestly, it's fine if they never make one. Int he end, the falcon is the falcon. If the ship is from ANO, or ESB... it's still the exact same ship that was in ROTJ. I bought the Episode 4 falcon when I was a kiddo, but even though that was *my* Falcon, I was never really satisfied with the shapes and proportions... all things that the 2019 TROS Falcon fixed. What did I do? I bought it, put my Episode 4 figues in there, changed a few things in the interior, added a few plates to fill the gaps, redone some gribling (especially at the back... and now I have a near-UCS looking (when it comes to detail, obviously not for size) Episode 4 Falcon that finally has shapes and proportions that kinda matches the source material. It doesn't matter if its the Episode 9 set, the figures are in the bottom of a drawer somewhere, forgotten. The Falcon looks the same from episode 4 to episode 9, save for the radar dish, the get broken in episode 6, replaced with a squared one, then broken again ion episode 8 to go back to a round dish in episode 9. Details that can easily be changed. You have the ability to get a NienNumb figure, you have the ability to get Lando episode 6 figure as well. Nothing prevents you from taking them, putting them in the cockpit of the episode 9 falcon and calling it a day. The Falcon is one of those sets, that if you don't release the one version that people want (here the ROTJ version), they complain, but if you do, then they complain all the same with two arguments : it's a cheap cash-grab remake of the same set but with different minifigures, or "but it's not the iconic episode 4/5 one !" At the end of the day, nobody wins. The only way to make everybody happy would be to make a figure pack for the ROTJ version that you coul;d buy for like 15 bucks that adds all teh figures you need, but releasing a new set would be excessive (also, even then there would be complaints)
The only reason i cannot argue with this is because i got the 2019 set not long ago and the first thing i did before i even got the set was buy a Han Solo minifig to go along with things.
I think the real answer is it just looks the same as the other ones. They could certainly decide to if they want to retool it significantly to warrant a new version
Here’s Another easy reason why they didn’t make a millennium falcon for ROTJ…..it’s the same goddamn ship. What on earth is the difference? You can literally just get an already existing millennium falcon and just say it’s from ROTJ. It’d be a pretty strange decision to do that
Maybe it's all about the licensing? Lego: Hey Disney, we want to make a RTJ Millennium Falcon. Disney: No, we do not want that ever. Lego: But our marketing research indicates this would sell very well. It will make a lot of money. You know, for the anniversary of RTJ. Disney: Making money is not what we are about.
Why not make a Millenium Falcon with all Minifigures included? Including Nien Nunb and general Lando Calrissian alongside the other Minifigures isn't that much of an extra effort.
the thing is, it wouldnt really make sense to make one specific to ROTJ. Its not any different in the movie than it is in the rest of the trilogy. Only difference would be General Lando and Nein Nub as figures. I could see a potential refresh of the USC Falcon coming with them to but that would probably be it.
I mean the rise of skyWalker has been on shelves for 5 years and is only now retiring, not because of its sales (which we’re always good), it’s cuz they had a new falcon to put on shelves. TROS falcon, btw did not come with a Han Solo.
I think the easiest solution is just a plain OT Falcon with Han and Chewie from ROTJ, but also included are General Calrissian and Nein Nunb and maybe an officer version of Leia from Home One. That way you get every important character that has flown the Falcon but also the option to pick what you want to do. Wanna have the classic Han and Chewie? Go for it. Wanna have the scene from ROTJ with Lando and Nien? A good choice.
I would like to see a ultimate collectors edition of Jabas palace plus rancor pit. With all the obscure characters. And also a whole attack of the clones line of sets. We still need the Battle on Geonosis with the 3 beasts and a Droid factory set with padme plus cape and c3p0 battle Droid hybrid
If Lego ever makes an ROTJ Millennium Falcon set, I could see the minifigure lineup looking more or less like the following , since there are usually about seven minifigs in any given Falcon set. Han just needs to be based on an earlier scene in the film. Han Solo, from the hangar bay/"she won't get a scratch" scene (easily workable. Or from the meeting scene on Home One, even.) Chewbacca (of course) General Lando Calrissian Nien Nunb Lieutenant Blount (General Cracken appeared as a minifig already, why not him?) Leia on Home One, or a supporting character, like Mon Mothma or General Madine Random hanger astromech droid (since Lego Falcon sets like to include small droid characters for the last minifig)
A ROTJ falcon could easily have a han and chewy in, as well as lando, nien, Clnl Airen craken and some Ensor commandos ??? They’ve made Craken before so it’s not like he’s too niche …
I wasn't understanding the point you were trying to make until you started talking about the Greivous Starfighter hypothetical. Up to that point I was confused just thinking about how they don't put out a RotJ Falcon because it would just be the same Falcon. I'm just saying I don't think your point was very clear until that part of the video.
My dream would be for a ucs re release maybe even redesign where it’s functional for the entire og trilogy I think they could do this with less than 16 figures at least but it would be a great way to get Lando and Hans different outfits same with Leia
I get your points but your examples with the soulless one and slave 1 are very short scenes compared to Lando’s attack at the end of episode 6, while it wouldn’t really make sense to include them, you could also just throw in solo with his Endor outfit
They don’t have to include characters that were exclusively on the ship in the scene. Include General Lando, include Nien Nunb, but also include Endor Han & Chewy, and a rebel commando or Wedge Antilles
I think it really comes dowm to popularity. Everyone knows about Empire and New Hope falcon, while the other misc ones have their recent media sets. I think it just doesnt change much outside of what we already have and the minifigure selection. Theres no real point to make it.
I really don’t care for the minifigures included in the 2019 Falcon, except for Billy Dee Williams. I just wanted a Falcon with the round radar dish like in the OG trilogy, which you could just build if you have the parts. But with non Lego merch of the Falcon, I think Disney or Lucasfilm actually thought the best way to sell it , was to retain that original design, because I wasn’t going to get a TFA Falcon, or a Solo Story one.
Why would you need three of the exact same ship just from a different movie? Making the ep. 4 and ep. 5 Falcon makes even less sense than the reason they didn't do an ep. 6 Falcon because they're all the same ship. Unless you're collecting for unopened boxes and want the original trilogy boxes lined next to one another, there's no reason to have three of the exact same kits. I don't see any reason to not make an ep. 6 Falcon, the only money they would have to spend is making a new box, they already have the parts and instructions made from two other ships.
You wouldn’t. Typically only one Falcon exists at a time, and I really only care about having one Falcon. I just found it interesting that out of all of the ones that have existed, none of them have been ROTJ based.
one thing is in the ucs falcon we got figures based on the force awakens and empire strikes back. If they are willing to give us figures based on different movies in one set why would they not include a lando and nein numb alongside a han solo and chewbacca?
To be honest. How much different could a RoTJ MF be compared to a New Hope MF. I just dont think it warrants the time to design the set. Just grab your current MF, replace some figs. And boom. RoTJ MF is yours. Or grab the Force awakens one and change the radar dish and figs.
_video pops up in recomendations_ Oh it's probably because the Millennium Falcon barely changes between movies, might even just be that dish that constantly gets knocked off resulting in a circle or square replacement. Unless you're including another ship the only real difference between an ESB and a ROTJ set would be the Minifigures so why bother going through all the production and paperwork stuff to manufacture a "unique" set when you can just make more of the ESB one? Atleast with other sets like the TFA and Solo ones there's not only an upcoming movie but a noticeable color scheme difference so they're unique enough to justify being new sets. _watches video_ Oh well I guess your reasoning makes sense but I still think the answer is much simpler in that a RTJ set wouldn't be unique enough. Lego almost never does repeat sets unless they're tiny where the focus is on collecting a bunch like Clone Trooper/Battle Droid sets or they're doing an updated version with newer designs.
In the most current normal colored Millenium Falcon, there is no Han Solo. So as i do understand your point, i think it's false. And yes, it had a Movie go along with, but wouldn't a ROTJ Millenium Falcon make sense for something like the 45th anniversary in 2028?
Ok maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't the Falcon be the same throughout the whole original trilogy? Why would they have sets based on the each movie, would it be that there are subtle differences in each movie?
I don’t think it is because of the lack of Han Solo. I think it’s much more likely that we haven’t seen one is because the UCS and the TROS falcon (which has no Han Solo and was sold long after the relevance of the film) had both been on shelves for the past half decade, are identical in design to what a Return of the Jedi set would be. But also of the three falcon micro fighters only two had Han. So he’s not the be all end all. And r o put things into perspective there’s only been 9 non-midi scale/microfighter falcons in the last 25 years and they are pretty evenly distributed between the seven films it appears in. 3 from ANH, 2 from Empire, 2 from force awakens, 1 from TROS, 1 from solo and the 1 dark side one which is separate. And of these the films that have more than one are the result of UCS sets. The only film with two play scale sets is A New Hope which had one in 2000, 24 years ago, when Star Wars still had yellow figs and one in 2011, 13 years ago. In fact the UCS falcon from 2017 is the only original trilogy falcon to come out since the last ANH one in 2011.
UCS Falcon remake is coming someday. Maybe Nien Nunb coming with it then. 2027 and the 50th Anniversary of Star Wars would be perfect year for the new UCS Falcon.
@@jukkavesanen9632 I imagine they will remake it like they did with the Death Star, just revamp it with new figures. I bet by the end of the decade they will do a Jedi falcon.
Instead of Nien Numb being a 25th anniversary minifigure it should’ve been one of these 3 characters from Star Wars The Phantom Menace since it was its 25th anniversary and the options I have would be Boss Nass, Shmi Skywalker, or Fode and Beed (that 2 headed Star Wars character that was the announcer of the pod racing) let me know what you think
*raises hand awkwardly* Umm. What's the difference between the Falcon in ROTJ and the Falcon in ANH and TESB? Is this really.just about the munifigures included? That seems.... Dumb. Too many Lego fans are too focused on the figures. If I'm buying a Lego kit I'm more focused on the key model than the mini figures.
I mean don't get me wrong this makes a lot of sense, but under these circumstances couldn't lego just stick a Han Solo minifigure in the set anyways? Like if we're going to use the general grievous Starfighter analogy for this, couldn't they include him as a reference to the scene where he lends lando the Falcon for the attack? Again chances are you're probably right on the money with this idea, but I just thought I'd mention it anyway
Wait wait wait... There is a difference between Millenium falcon from 4, 5 and 6? With 4 and 5 I guessed it was when they were made and building techinquess... But Ep.6 is different from Ep.4/5?
inextricably*
😅 Lol, yeah.
What if we also included Endor Han and Chewie? They are with Lando on Home One.
Yeah, something like that!
I wish that I thought of that before making the video… 😆
Yeah, I was going to say this. Add Han and Leia or Luke in their Endor camo and maybe some rebel troopers.
I don't think it's a minifigure thing, I think it's more so the fact that the Falcon looks the same from episodes 4-6. Sure, minifigures imply the time a set is meant to take place, but, really, you could've reenacted the Battle of Endor with the previous OT Falcons with a little imagination from the minifigures since the ship itself looks identical.
You could probably even do that with the ROS falcon
All you gotta do to make it a ROTJ Falcon is break off the radar dish
This really a non issue. The ship is the same as it was in Empire. You want Lando to pilot it at Endor? Then, place that figure in the cockpit. Then, simulate the dish damage by removing it from the hull. It's Lego, afterall.
Never said that it was an issue, I was just theorizing why it hasn’t happened.
@@crazydog1750they made a minifig for a character I've never heard of that's showed up in some comics they can throw anything in there
Not to mention the fact that all these Lego Falcons look terrible.
I’m not sure if saying that the millennium falcon is ‘inexplicably’ connected with Han Solo is correct, I think that inextricably or similar would be more correct in this context
This is why I don't use words unless I'm certain I fully understand them
☝️🤓
Why? They’re perfectly cromulent words.
@@LokNarashThey have very different meanings. Using 'inexplicably' sounds like you have no idea why Han is associated with the Falcon.
some random chad with a 3d printer in his garage: "fine, i'll do it myself"
Uh, I don’t understand why they *can’t* make one. The discussion only talked about why maybe they haven’t. But they definitely could if they wanted to. There’s a scene in ROTJ where Han is around/next to his ship, so that’s not stopping them.
To be honest I don't think kids would really care about getting a han solo I feel like they would care about getting a millennium falcon
Yah the value is the set it's self for the kids, unless they really love certain characters it's still just a minifig to them, you can already get a bunch of minifigs, it's the interesting building and play features of the set that draws the kids to it.

As much as i love the idea of a ROTJ falcon, im fine with the idea of a ESB falcon with accompanying sets that can kinda convert it over to a ROTJ falcon with other minifigures on shelves
Simple fix. We use the scene where Lando and Han are talking about the ship just before take off. You could get Lando, Han, Nien Nunb, Chewie, and a Rebel Trooper/Gunner.
Lol, a lot of people have pointed this out. I wish that I remembered about that scene at some point before making this video. 😅
All you’d need is a battle pack with General Lando, Nien Numb, and a couple of Rebel Commandos. With that, any of the Falcon releases would do.
It’s kind of funny because in ROTJ, there was no physical Falcon. All scenes were either a Matte painting, a model or the cockpit and sets. They didn’t keep the exterior for some reason, but it’s in the making of ROTJ book.
Slight correction: there are no shots with a physical Falcon in the final cut of the movie. One was build and shot for the sandstorm scene right before the departure from Tatooine but that was thankfully cut in edit

They are not all the same. The bottom of the falcon was changed rather significantly between Episodes 4 and 5 to allow for more landing gear. However, I do not know of any significant changes between 5 and 6.
It’s just the minifigs 😂
A poor conclusion imo. Obiwan jacking Greivous’s fighter for an episode is not comparable to Lando captaining the Falcon for the battle of Endor. It’s an iconic part of a climactic battle. I think the bigger issue would be supporting figures. Besides Lando and Nien there’s just a handful of generic Rebel commandos, and while I could see two or three of them coming along, that’s only 5 figures when a Falcon often comes with 7 to 10 or more, and there aren’t any droids either. But even then they could just give us Endor Luke, Han and Leia along with Threepio and R2… so I feel the other deal is market place availability. The UCS is still out there and so is the Rise of Skywalker one. A RotJ Falcon would be the same as those just with two different characters. It’s a shame because I want one, and I want other Jedi variant ships like Wedge’s X-Wing or Endor Gold Leader’s Y-Wing but there isn’t a spot for those right now.
The extra minifigs for a ROTJ Falcon just needs to include characters from the earlier Home One scenes. Here is my idea for an ROTJ Millennium Falcon minifigure lineup:
1. Han Solo on Home One ("she won't get a scratch" scene or the meeting scene)
2. Chewbacca
3. General Lando
4. Nien Nunb
5. Lieutenant Blount
6. Home One Leia; or Mon Mothma; or General Madine
7. Random astromech from the hanger
@@destroyerofworlds6824 Lando, Nien, Crix Madine, Two Generic Commandos, and Mon Mothma and perhaps Admiral Ackbar would be a pretty solid line up I think!
I think a closer example would be Prequel Trilogy Slave One but it comes with young Boba Fett and other Clone Wars Bounty Hunters like Aura Sing.
It’s a good arc from Clone Wars that had a decent focus and minifigs people likely want. But if you get a PT Slave One you want a Jango Fett minifig
it also probably means we ain't ever getting another Sullustan… it's not like they're important players in the Rebellion…
We've actually gotten Nien Nunb's brother Ten Nunb multiple times in different B-Wing sets lol
@@ZoomerUnion true but those headprints are really outdated, with that new mould it would be logical to use it more than once but just like the majority of the Mos Eisley Cantina aliens, I don't see it coming back. would love to be proven wrong.
Nien numb and the dark side falcon are the biggest clue that they will never do one from return of the jedi. You'd only get a falcon with Nien numb and Lando. Han solo at best in his Endor atire. And maybe a couple rebel troopers. Not the best figure selection when you can get the main cast in every other versions. While Lando can always appear in any cloud city and Tatooine Jabba adjacent set.
Also sad the fact they'd never do a Mantis set for cal kestis lol
im mostly confused on what differences their would be with a roj falcon that wouldn't just be different minifigs
Not like they couldnt include the main cast anyways.
Heck, hear me out, they could just make a millenium falcon thats time-agnostic. Include han, chewie, luke, leia, obi wan, r2, 3po, lando, nien, and a rebel, and itd sell, assuming there hadnt been a falcon in recent days. Thats 9-10 figures depending on if they keep the rebel.
If thats too many figures to the size, they could always include a bit of spaceport, or an x-wing companion, and go up a price size, and lego fans would still eat it up.
Theres always solutions.
You could just as easily make a regular falcon and make/use other figures.
Exactly. Making Lego sets takes time and effort to desighn them. Every Falcon especially does, we just occasionally get an updated one if newer pieces or techniques become available. The Sequel Falcon made sense, it was a little different to the OG due to years of neglect and damage, plus the new dish. The Falcon is the same in the OT with at best minor unimportant changes. So it all comes down to the minifigs, which we can always get in a new set or just make a minifig pack if it's a minifig people are desperate to get. Plus these sets often cost a bit, so pretty stupid to have like Solo, 4-5, 6, then a Sequel one, just nonsensical. If we would get a new Falcon set it would just be best as an update for the kid play scaled one, UCS Falcon is already the best for collectors wanting scale and accuracy, at least the best you can get for Lego's limitations.
All it takes is moving your figures around and you have what you want
I think the answer is quite simple that what's the difference between the EP6 falcon and the ones in EP4 and 5 ?
I feel like the reason is just that in Return of the Jedi the millenium falcon just has a smaller role. Obviously it blows up the death star, but the coincides with Luke fighting vader and vader's redemption. Vader and Luke obviously overshadow the millenium falcon and are the real climactic battle. It's just not really as iconic or memorable as it was in other films. Sort of like how Yoda vs palpatine in rots was overshadowed by anakin and obiwan, and i dont think we've ever gotten a set based off their duel.
That solo falcon is one of my all time most wanted sets. The colour scheme is so cool and it would look great with all my 501st clones
Easiest solution...
Limited run with multipack containing 3 sets for some anniversary of Return of the Jedi, which would be later sold separately in following quater
- Tydirium Lambda with Endor crew
- X-wing with Wedge Antilles
- Falcon with Lando and Nien Nub (no Han since he was released in sibling set)
not to mention that the ROS Falcon still has (versions of) 4 characters who are commonly associated with the Falcon, Lando, Chewbacca, R2, and 3P0
plus you might recall that for much of that Falcon's shelf life, there was also a microfighter Falcon with OT Han available on shelves, so a person who really wanted a Han for the Falcon could have it for just 10 more bucks
I think the one shot we have for an Endor Falcon is for a big anniversary for Return of the Jedi. It would also need to be a window without another version of the Falcon floating around.
Back in 2004 we got an Empire Strikes Back Millennium Falcon from the initial scene of the Hoth escape, which was pretty interesting. The figures were very coveted.
There is no need for a rotj falcon as it wasn't a major thing during that movie it was only there for the death star battle and not used otherwise
I think its also worth considering that comparatively speaking, the Falcon has much less of a role in ROTJ compared to the other 6 movies it appears in
probably the best chance of getting a ROTJ Falcon would be as a "Trilogy edition" set, which would come with relevant characters from all the movies of the OT (ANH Han Luke and Leia, Chewbacca, R2, 3P0, ESB Han and Leia, ROTJ Lando, and Nien Nub, maybe you'll get Vader and Obi-Wan in there), but that's unlikely to be a retail set, more than likely a UCS
0:30 also including The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker
Here's my take, for what it's worth. I have the 75192 UCS Falcon. Considering there are 2 versions depicted with this set, ESB and TFA, which basically chronologically ''sandwich'' ROTJ, it would look exactly the same as in ROTJ. I purchased the new Nien Nunb, the 2009 general Lando Calrissian, converted the included ESB Han into ROTJ by giving him the black jacket/tan arms torso, and purchased the captain Rex Endor trooper and changed the head. He looks pretty much exactly like one of the gunners in the cockpit behind Lando and Nien. Done.
The Falcon is identical from TESB and ROTJ. The reason why there are 2 different Lego version from those films is because the actual prop models are different in the films. But the TESB, ROTJ, TFA are the same models minus the rectangular dish.
The reason why there are a few different LEGO versions is because they were made years apart and a remake was due. But yes, the prop between ESB and ROTJ are the same. I’m taking about minifigures.
Honestly, i agree with most comments. Falcon looks exactly the same throughout the trilogy, and Mister Nub feels a little bit too obscure for kids, and most people associate Lando with cloud city.
And adding two figures to regular Falcon roaster might be too much for Lego to do.
Especially since apparently minifigures take a lot of set budget, at least if couple of interviews will few Ninjago designers are something to go off of.
I see the thought pattern with the Grievous starfighter example, but it’s not really the same. Yoda and Bail have absolutely no connection to the Soulless one, except that it’s parked inside their ship, which is like a 10 second scene anyways. Whereas Nien Numb and Lando piloted the Falcon for the entire 3rd act of return of the Jedi, which is a huge and extremely memorable sequence. I think a falcon with those mini figures would make sense. And if they really need to include Han Solo, then just include the Endor Han and Chewbacca too
and there's slim chance of a ROTJ Falcon coming out any time soon, the best time for it to happen was last year with ROTJ's 40th, but that opportunity has passed, the Dark Falcon is currently available, and LEGO's policy based off the shelf life of Prior Falcons seems to be to always keep one version on the shelves, there's a distinct possibility of the Falcon returning in that movie about the rebuilding of the Jedi Order coming out in 2025 or 2026, so LEGO will want a set based off of that, and ANH's 50th anniversary is coming up, the Falcon is the most logical way to celebrate that
so yeah, the earliest possibility for a ROTJ Falcon would probably be 2029, AT BEST, and that's not even accounting for other potential projects that might release featuring the Falcon (let's not kid ourselves, Lucasfilm is at least considering a cartoon about the OT characters set between the movies)
The 2019 Rise of Skywalker Falcon doesn't have Han and is still on shelves 5 years later. Which is wild considering how bad the movie was. Even if Han & Chewie weren't in it, they could do Lando, Nien Nunb, 2 Rebel crewmen....and this might be a good opportunity to give us Rebel Commanders like Mon Mothma and General Crix.
I think they'll do a RotJ Falcon eventually but I agree that the Nien Numb minifig means it probably won't be for the foreseeable future. I could also see them making the 3rd version of the UCS Falcon both ep4 and ep6 themed, like how the current version is both ep5 and ep7 themed, but that'll also be at least 10 years from now, if it happens.
Your point in the end doesn't make much sense. There was a Rebel Hijacked Imperial Shuttle released in 2015, based on the scene where they hijack the ship on Endor. Not a single Darth Vader, Emperor or Royal Guards included, even though its characters associated with most of the ships appearances in the OT.
Even then you can still get those specific minifigs anyway and use the shuttle as any other Imperial Shuttle since it wasn't a unique desighn, just the scene was iconic.
Yeah, but I feel like the scene with the hijacked shuttle is far more iconic than any of the scenes with Vader anyways.
It would be much more likely and cheaper for them to put Nien Numb on a Star Wars Lego Magazine. Then you can put any old Lando and him in the Falcon.
They could include Nien Nub and General Lando in a future UCS Falcon like how they include ST characters alongside OT characters in the UCS Falcon
They'd literally just chuck Han in with it like they do with countless sets where a character wasn't present.
Could still add a Han solo to the episode 6 Millennium Falcon . A Millennium Falcon with only two figures seams a bit small amount of figures for such a big set. And Han solo did talk to Lando about taking the Millennium Falcon before the battle. Could make a scene based on the Hanger. And ad Endor versions(luke and Leia) and Home one crew(Admiral Akbar, Mon moth ma and misc Calamarian).
P.s I wonder if the more crucial component is Chewbacca. A kid might like the big dog man more then the "just a guy" guy.
I don't care about a Rotj falcon, there's not enough changes to the ship to give a crap about it. What saddens me is that we got Cal kestis as an anniversary fig...which means no Lego mantis ship 😢
There's just no point in releasing a set that only the smallest of small subsections would understand the changes of it. I understand fans of Star Wars wanting one of every variant, but we've consistently got a variant of Falcon on the table. There's already an overflow in Star Wars sets, my area can't ever manage to push a lot of these off the shelves simply because people stopped caring. We've still got 2 year old sets in the DFW area because of star wars fatigue
Just, never say never. Lego does unpredictable things aaaall the time.
Who expected Avatar sets? Who expected a dark side falcon? Who expected a year partially themed around space?
There's literally a millennium falcon without Han Solo based of episode IX, wdym????'
I addresses this in the video-there was a MAJOR movie release to go alongside it so it’s an exception.
Disney has some weird demands in their star wars sets. There had to be a set based on an attraction in disneyland and the main ship from a beloved game franchise doesnt get made
It's interesting because a RotJ has more merit than any other version from the OT. Obviously as others have said you could still include Han and Chewy from the Home One scene, but you could also include a play feature where the radar dish flies off! At the end of the day it's not even an issue at all, it's still just the Falcon, but it's definitely curious
Another reason why there'll never be a Return of the Jedi Falcon is the following: The Falcon doesn't physically change at all between the events of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, so why bother releasing an entirely new Falcon variant that's just going to be a copy of an existing variant? Just use the existing one and put out a Calrisian minifigure in a blind bag. Problem solved.
honestly, it's fine if they never make one.
Int he end, the falcon is the falcon. If the ship is from ANO, or ESB... it's still the exact same ship that was in ROTJ.
I bought the Episode 4 falcon when I was a kiddo, but even though that was *my* Falcon, I was never really satisfied with the shapes and proportions... all things that the 2019 TROS Falcon fixed.
What did I do? I bought it, put my Episode 4 figues in there, changed a few things in the interior, added a few plates to fill the gaps, redone some gribling (especially at the back... and now I have a near-UCS looking (when it comes to detail, obviously not for size) Episode 4 Falcon that finally has shapes and proportions that kinda matches the source material.
It doesn't matter if its the Episode 9 set, the figures are in the bottom of a drawer somewhere, forgotten. The Falcon looks the same from episode 4 to episode 9, save for the radar dish, the get broken in episode 6, replaced with a squared one, then broken again ion episode 8 to go back to a round dish in episode 9. Details that can easily be changed.
You have the ability to get a NienNumb figure, you have the ability to get Lando episode 6 figure as well. Nothing prevents you from taking them, putting them in the cockpit of the episode 9 falcon and calling it a day.
The Falcon is one of those sets, that if you don't release the one version that people want (here the ROTJ version), they complain, but if you do, then they complain all the same with two arguments : it's a cheap cash-grab remake of the same set but with different minifigures, or "but it's not the iconic episode 4/5 one !"
At the end of the day, nobody wins. The only way to make everybody happy would be to make a figure pack for the ROTJ version that you coul;d buy for like 15 bucks that adds all teh figures you need, but releasing a new set would be excessive (also, even then there would be complaints)
Saw could come with his Partisan U-Wing but that’s probably too obscure.
The only reason i cannot argue with this is because i got the 2019 set not long ago and the first thing i did before i even got the set was buy a Han Solo minifig to go along with things.
😆
I think the real answer is it just looks the same as the other ones. They could certainly decide to if they want to retool it significantly to warrant a new version
Here’s Another easy reason why they didn’t make a millennium falcon for ROTJ…..it’s the same goddamn ship. What on earth is the difference? You can literally just get an already existing millennium falcon and just say it’s from ROTJ. It’d be a pretty strange decision to do that
Maybe it's all about the licensing?
Lego: Hey Disney, we want to make a RTJ Millennium Falcon.
Disney: No, we do not want that ever.
Lego: But our marketing research indicates this would sell very well. It will make a lot of money. You know, for the anniversary of RTJ.
Disney: Making money is not what we are about.
I think there is a simpler explanation. Because the og trilogie millennium flacon, is the same ship with no differences through the trilogy.
I bet this idea is the reason we haven't got a slave 1 with Jango fett. Still want the new slave one with jango.
I really like the 2011 Falcon and really hope we get another episode 4 one at some point
Why not make a Millenium Falcon with all Minifigures included? Including Nien Nunb and general Lando Calrissian alongside the other Minifigures isn't that much of an extra effort.
the thing is, it wouldnt really make sense to make one specific to ROTJ. Its not any different in the movie than it is in the rest of the trilogy. Only difference would be General Lando and Nein Nub as figures. I could see a potential refresh of the USC Falcon coming with them to but that would probably be it.
I mean the rise of skyWalker has been on shelves for 5 years and is only now retiring, not because of its sales (which we’re always good), it’s cuz they had a new falcon to put on shelves. TROS falcon, btw did not come with a Han Solo.
Indeed it didn’t, and I did address that.
I think the easiest solution is just a plain OT Falcon with Han and Chewie from ROTJ, but also included are General Calrissian and Nein Nunb and maybe an officer version of Leia from Home One. That way you get every important character that has flown the Falcon but also the option to pick what you want to do. Wanna have the classic Han and Chewie? Go for it. Wanna have the scene from ROTJ with Lando and Nien? A good choice.
I would like to see a ultimate collectors edition of Jabas palace plus rancor pit.
With all the obscure characters.
And also a whole attack of the clones line of sets.
We still need the Battle on Geonosis with the 3 beasts and a Droid factory set with padme plus cape and c3p0 battle Droid hybrid
They'd rather make a poorly designed, $35 4+ Endor set than make a Mantis or a RotJ Falcon. You gotta question who's in charge of everything. . .
I mean they gave the Sequel gang 2 falcons so I have some small degree of hope
If Lego ever makes an ROTJ Millennium Falcon set, I could see the minifigure lineup looking more or less like the following , since there are usually about seven minifigs in any given Falcon set. Han just needs to be based on an earlier scene in the film.
Han Solo, from the hangar bay/"she won't get a scratch" scene (easily workable. Or from the meeting scene on Home One, even.)
Chewbacca (of course)
General Lando Calrissian
Nien Nunb
Lieutenant Blount (General Cracken appeared as a minifig already, why not him?)
Leia on Home One, or a supporting character, like Mon Mothma or General Madine
Random hanger astromech droid (since Lego Falcon sets like to include small droid characters for the last minifig)
We need Saw Garrera in his black U wing
A ROTJ falcon could easily have a han and chewy in, as well as lando, nien, Clnl Airen craken and some Ensor commandos ??? They’ve made Craken before so it’s not like he’s too niche …
I wasn't understanding the point you were trying to make until you started talking about the Greivous Starfighter hypothetical. Up to that point I was confused just thinking about how they don't put out a RotJ Falcon because it would just be the same Falcon. I'm just saying I don't think your point was very clear until that part of the video.
Yeah, I think I definitely should have spent a little more time planning the layout of the video beforehand like I usually do.
“Tante-VEE” III. Long E, like “epitome.” 🙃
But that’s only in canon, I think.
My dream would be for a ucs re release maybe even redesign where it’s functional for the entire og trilogy I think they could do this with less than 16 figures at least but it would be a great way to get Lando and Hans different outfits same with Leia
I get your points but your examples with the soulless one and slave 1 are very short scenes compared to Lando’s attack at the end of episode 6, while it wouldn’t really make sense to include them, you could also just throw in solo with his Endor outfit
Well, chances are that we won't be seeing a 3ROTS Falcon either.
They don’t have to include characters that were exclusively on the ship in the scene. Include General Lando, include Nien Nunb, but also include Endor Han & Chewy, and a rebel commando or Wedge Antilles
i mean the lack of Han Solo in Carbonite in the last slave 1 was kinda soft
I think it really comes dowm to popularity. Everyone knows about Empire and New Hope falcon, while the other misc ones have their recent media sets.
I think it just doesnt change much outside of what we already have and the minifigure selection. Theres no real point to make it.
I really don’t care for the minifigures included in the 2019 Falcon, except for Billy Dee Williams. I just wanted a Falcon with the round radar dish like in the OG trilogy, which you could just build if you have the parts. But with non Lego merch of the Falcon, I think Disney or Lucasfilm actually thought the best way to sell it , was to retain that original design, because I wasn’t going to get a TFA Falcon, or a Solo Story one.
We need a Millennium Falcon with a trigger mechanism that blows off the radar dish like in six out-of the seven movies that feature the Falcon.
bro just wants to get a whole set remade because of one charakter which appeared like 1 minute in the movie
Why would you need three of the exact same ship just from a different movie? Making the ep. 4 and ep. 5 Falcon makes even less sense than the reason they didn't do an ep. 6 Falcon because they're all the same ship.
Unless you're collecting for unopened boxes and want the original trilogy boxes lined next to one another, there's no reason to have three of the exact same kits.
I don't see any reason to not make an ep. 6 Falcon, the only money they would have to spend is making a new box, they already have the parts and instructions made from two other ships.
You wouldn’t. Typically only one Falcon exists at a time, and I really only care about having one Falcon. I just found it interesting that out of all of the ones that have existed, none of them have been ROTJ based.
one thing is in the ucs falcon we got figures based on the force awakens and empire strikes back. If they are willing to give us figures based on different movies in one set why would they not include a lando and nein numb alongside a han solo and chewbacca?
Typically they don’t do that for play sets.
Its like the shuttle tydirium from 2015 only coming with rebel minifigs
Yea, but that is honestly the most iconic usage of the imperial shuttle in Star Wars.
There are no interior scenes in RotJ, so the other Falcons work fine.
But the Falcon already comes with like 4 or 5 figures. Why can't two me Niem and Lando?
I didn’t know there were different versions of the MF in each film.
It just comes down to the minifigures for the most part.
To be honest. How much different could a RoTJ MF be compared to a New Hope MF. I just dont think it warrants the time to design the set. Just grab your current MF, replace some figs. And boom. RoTJ MF is yours. Or grab the Force awakens one and change the radar dish and figs.
_video pops up in recomendations_
Oh it's probably because the Millennium Falcon barely changes between movies, might even just be that dish that constantly gets knocked off resulting in a circle or square replacement. Unless you're including another ship the only real difference between an ESB and a ROTJ set would be the Minifigures so why bother going through all the production and paperwork stuff to manufacture a "unique" set when you can just make more of the ESB one?
Atleast with other sets like the TFA and Solo ones there's not only an upcoming movie but a noticeable color scheme difference so they're unique enough to justify being new sets.
_watches video_
Oh well I guess your reasoning makes sense but I still think the answer is much simpler in that a RTJ set wouldn't be unique enough. Lego almost never does repeat sets unless they're tiny where the focus is on collecting a bunch like Clone Trooper/Battle Droid sets or they're doing an updated version with newer designs.
In the most current normal colored Millenium Falcon, there is no Han Solo. So as i do understand your point, i think it's false. And yes, it had a Movie go along with, but wouldn't a ROTJ Millenium Falcon make sense for something like the 45th anniversary in 2028?
Ok maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't the Falcon be the same throughout the whole original trilogy?
Why would they have sets based on the each movie, would it be that there are subtle differences in each movie?
Minifigures.
Yeah, that makes sense. Good argument. Unfortunate, but a good argument nonetheless.
Cant they just market it to adults? I mean adults will surely understand the mindset of not having han solo in it. Right?
What is the ROTJ Falcon and how is it different from other Falcons?
Character selection and satellite dish
@@WyattIsaac045 the dish is the same.
In The Force Awakens is with the new one, after losing it in the Return of the Jedi.
I don’t think it is because of the lack of Han Solo. I think it’s much more likely that we haven’t seen one is because the UCS and the TROS falcon (which has no Han Solo and was sold long after the relevance of the film) had both been on shelves for the past half decade, are identical in design to what a Return of the Jedi set would be.
But also of the three falcon micro fighters only two had Han. So he’s not the be all end all.
And r o put things into perspective there’s only been 9 non-midi scale/microfighter falcons in the last 25 years and they are pretty evenly distributed between the seven films it appears in. 3 from ANH, 2 from Empire, 2 from force awakens, 1 from TROS, 1 from solo and the 1 dark side one which is separate. And of these the films that have more than one are the result of UCS sets. The only film with two play scale sets is A New Hope which had one in 2000, 24 years ago, when Star Wars still had yellow figs and one in 2011, 13 years ago.
In fact the UCS falcon from 2017 is the only original trilogy falcon to come out since the last ANH one in 2011.
UCS Falcon remake is coming someday. Maybe Nien Nunb coming with it then. 2027 and the 50th Anniversary of Star Wars would be perfect year for the new UCS Falcon.
@@jukkavesanen9632 I imagine they will remake it like they did with the Death Star, just revamp it with new figures.
I bet by the end of the decade they will do a Jedi falcon.
I would like one affordable Lord of the rings set
Instead of Nien Numb being a 25th anniversary minifigure it should’ve been one of these 3 characters from Star Wars The Phantom Menace since it was its 25th anniversary and the options I have would be Boss Nass, Shmi Skywalker, or Fode and Beed (that 2 headed Star Wars character that was the announcer of the pod racing) let me know what you think
What is different about the millennium falcon in return of the Jedi?
Lando and Nien Num shoulda been in the UCS Falcon
*raises hand awkwardly* Umm. What's the difference between the Falcon in ROTJ and the Falcon in ANH and TESB? Is this really.just about the munifigures included? That seems.... Dumb. Too many Lego fans are too focused on the figures. If I'm buying a Lego kit I'm more focused on the key model than the mini figures.
I mean don't get me wrong this makes a lot of sense, but under these circumstances couldn't lego just stick a Han Solo minifigure in the set anyways? Like if we're going to use the general grievous Starfighter analogy for this, couldn't they include him as a reference to the scene where he lends lando the Falcon for the attack? Again chances are you're probably right on the money with this idea, but I just thought I'd mention it anyway
Yeah, they could. Though, it would likely be in his Endor attire, which is just less iconic than his jacket.
Is there even a difference in the Millennium Falcon between episodes 4 and 6 besides minifigures?
No, and that’s the reason why an ROTJ wouldn’t happen.
Wait wait wait... There is a difference between Millenium falcon from 4, 5 and 6? With 4 and 5 I guessed it was when they were made and building techinquess... But Ep.6 is different from Ep.4/5?
