@@ThrowToTheWolves compared to old grey, it has more blue in the colour composition. it's not just plain grey with all neutral colours but has a blue tint. blue tints on greys and even whites is usually done to make it look more cleaner and colder medium stone grey does sound better
It was a good call for LEGO to go with the red bridges. Its easier to modify them to be grey if you wish, as the grey parts are more common and most people would already have them in their collection versus the red.
I actually never noticed that the red bridges were only unique to the flagship until now. I love these mod videos and would love to see more content like this in the future. ^_^
No joke, the normal basic venator look way better than the grey version. It's so iconic with the dark red and the red cockpit mean that it's a Jedi's venator and it's just soo cool
If I was to buy this set I would definitely be tempted to switch out the bridges and add to the red line to make it more like the ones seen in the Prequels.
The imperial set looks awesome dude. Think it’s actually my favourite. Could be something in this for Lego. They could sell a set as an ‘add on’ pack. This could give you the pieces to turn it into an alternative version, plus to make it more appealing they could throw in some minifigures like the three you picked out (maybe some custom printing etc so they’re unique).
But why aren't they doing just like the Technics 2 in 1? It's basically the same concept, just instead of another entire build, they just add some specific pieces in another color and we could get some versions of that Venator, which would be neat.
Dude I just got back into your vids! Im so happy to see you posting. I watched all of your mach vids when I was 8 years old and now eight years later just got back into legos and Starwars! StarWars and your videos were huge in my childhood so thanks!
Still need to fix those tiles and clips on the bridges. There's got to be a way to do that without using an illegal technique because I don't care if LEGO says that it's okay now, nothing will make me trust that connection. While we are about 10 years into that being a technique that has been used in sets infrequently and almost exclusively for collector's items, I bet those clips are forever warped if you leave them together for that long, as most UCS sets would be.
Ingenious stuff. Fun fact: In the clone wars, the Venators we typically see usually has two different color variants. Both has the big red stripe down the middle of course, but the command ship had 5 stripes on each wing, and red command bridges, while the other had 3 stripes per wing and gray command bridges. Interestingly enough, the Revenge of the Sith version we see has 5 red stripes and gray bridges. And some of the Venators in the background shots even lack the Open Circle Armada logos as seen during the battle of Coruscant. And I don't know if that was intentionally done, but it certainly makes sense, as not all those Venators present at that battle was part of the Open Circle Armada, some were from the Coruscant defense fleet.
@@TheTrytix I did check, although it appears that it’s only on the right wing (the ship’s right) that has the 3. You can see it when it gets blown up, but the left seems to have 5. It’s quite confusing.
@@YD_. Alright, after having checked out entire episodes, looking for the Negotiator, during the episode "Bound of Rescue" where the ship in question gets obliterated, turns out, for whatever reason, the Negotiator there has white bridges and 3 stripes on each wing... In other words, at some point in time, the Negotiator seem to have undergone a new paint job.
Can you plz make a ROTS conversion and do all of the different details correct? Like the flat hanger, one more angle on the tower, longer bridges, two more engines, more detailed backside of the tower, replacing the logo, remove all the dark blueish grey details, and even change the design of the red strip on the bottom side?
2:29 Correction: The Venator has always BEEN a 'Star Destroyer.' Attack Cruiser is simply a different name for it, but it all still means the same exact thing. The full, official name for the Venator is the 'Venator-class Star Destroyer' in the lore, after all.
Hi, As a reminder, to my knowledge, only one building of this type had red bridges and it was the ship of Anakin. This is especially true because we have the figurines of Captain Rex, who followed Ahsoka and Anakin as well as Wulf Yularen who was the admiral of Anakin’s ship. That’s why I think this Venator is the "RESOLUTE"
I was going to just mod the bridge to the light bluish grey... But I REALLY love the Imperial Venator livery. So yeah, I'm dumping ALL the red, not bothering with the ugly sticker (win-win) and just building the Imperial Version from the get go once I get my copy. Long live the Empire.
I can’t unsee it. Wow that looks great. But I agree with some people that the color swap options and dare I say the extra figures would have been sweet
A few more modifications are required to make it into an Episode III version. The long dorsal doors should be flat. There another pair of engines added to the rear. The long barreled cannons on the side need to be moved closer to the front. Some of the details between the turbo laser turrets need to changed (to much to write it all out.) And just smoother hull paneling.
You gotta buy a 4th so you can hang it on a wall and have the venator crashing from the last episode of the clone wars. Add some cloud and smoke pieces and break off some of the engines. Add a little Rex's y wing, too
I love the UCS Venator and I like the Imperial modification which I might try one day if I get another UCS Venator, just to have both styles. I also wanted to go fantasy and make a special 501st Legion Venator by replacing all the red tiles with blue ones.
These are some very soild options especially the imperial one looks great. I personally am still looking for a design to replace the main turrets. Maybe even put some ISD 1 turbolasers on there and turn it into the liberation.
Kind of a random request but I’ve never seen a LEGO creator make a fleet battle moc. It would be interesting to see how one would go about building that and I think you would be the person with that creative ability
Neat and easy mods. I will say the Imperial version looks rather lifeless to me but still it shows the mod is very easy to replace the parts and still fits overall. Looking forward to getting a copy when the set drops for the public. Maybe try I'll try a Republic blue for the stripes/bridge.
imperial venator was goated if i was you with 3 one would have to stay grey that shit is fire if they released that with those figures people would have lost their mind
Ooo hard to decide which version is cooler. The bridge mod is pretty cool since the isd Lego produced is a generic one. But well done mod. Appreciate the idea! Best part is you can buy the parts and keep them aside. Swap at will.
Lego could've thought this through a little better and provide optional parts for different variants, just like they did with color stripes on the Icons Camaro.
There are 3 things why I’m not happy with this set. 1. Stickers. 2. Colormess in the inside and it being hollow without an interior. The 2 minifigures are awesome but just 2 for a priced set like that is not close to enough.
The symbols on the side, are unique to the commander or admiral in charge of the Venator. For example, that is Yularen's, while Tarkin would have a different symbol.
If you're going to use the pick a brick remember that light bluish grey is called medium stone grey.
I wish LEGO called it that in the first place. I mean where does the blue come in? 😂

medium stone grey does sound better
@Sopsy_Hallow I agree Medium storm grey sounds good. But I still don't see any blue in in the colour. Why can't it just be grey and dark grey.
@@ThrowToTheWolves Because that's what the old grey colours were called

You should have put the latest UCS ISD next to the Imperial Venator, I bet they would have looked amazing together
For $650, it would have been nice if Lego had included the pieces for the bridge swap at least in the box.
I disagree because it’s not accurate to any version of the venator if you only change the bridge.
@@turbkeysamdwich1880 they could at least be fun
@@turbkeysamdwich1880 yes it is
Turned false. It would be a clone wars show non command venator
@@turbkeysamdwich1880clone wars version?
The imperial version shows just how great the aesthetics of the Venator is, even with it's bland and clean color scheme!
That imperial Venator is actually 🔥
logical conclusion: buy 4 of these
Buy 8, 5 Republic Venators and 3 Imperial for Kamino
Nah buy 10. 7 republic and 3 imperial.
Technically if you change the bridge to Light bluish grey u should also remove 2 out of the 5 red stripes for it to be accurate to the clone wars
True, but accurate to RoTS (if the Open Circle Fleet emblem is moved further up)
Removing 2 of the 5 red stripes makes it Obi-Wan’s Venator, The Negotiator
clone wars had them too *the red bridges + 5 red stripes are the command ships
@@YD_.”ah the negotiator”
I like how LEGO imperial venator looks very cool!!

I’m an Imperial fan and love everything that has to do with the imperial army so the Venator in that imperial color scheme I really dig.
Same
@@craigdonaruma2610 nice, off topic but my favorite imperial ship is the AT-AT followed by the Star Destroyer
It’s like a militarized version
@@NarasimhaDiyasena What do ya mean lol
same i like the grey color scheme on the venator more than the red
Please make an interior mod somehow, tons of people would love if

Kinda wish you added some interior modding tho 😅

Surprised how much I like the all grey Venator. I am definitely purchasing one, but now considering two. 🤔
The gray version looks absolutely stunning dude how long did it take you to swap it?
Looks amazing! Great job!
Dude you went insane with the grey that’s so creative

So many people would love Lego to do the ROTS version. So if you could make that easier for people to do themselves, it would be awesome!
For that scene from the bad batch, just hearing the venator gives me goosebumps
Ironic, turning a colorful UCS set into another gray starship after TLG's survey a few years ago...

The Imperial Venator looks awesome! Nice mod!
the bridge change alone makes it like the opening sequence of Revenge of the Sith
The Imperial coloring weirdly makes the words "Star Destroyer" on the plaque stand out more.
I am thinking about doing the modifications
The imperial venator so clean and great

It’s. ITS PERFECT
I personally like the flagship version, I like that it makes it more colorful
It looks sweet either way, but I prefer the red to give it a little pop of color. Great video!
Hopefully there will be some people, adding an interiuer to this awesome model
to be honest i love the imperial so the imperial venator is very good but still would choose the isd over the venator
Nothing like taking the one colorful Lego set and adding more grey!
This looks awesome in both red and grey , enjoying these mod videos,
Has there been a blue venator cruiser
I love how it looks just in gray 😍
Looks good
Holy crap I had no idea how much more I was going to like this set with a grey bridge! Definitely will me modifying mine.
Lmao the imperial gunship broke me🤣😭
I was hoping you would do this🎉
You could also modify the bridge to be movie accurate, the movie bridges are squared off at the windows and animated bridges are round !!!
This gave me an idea. Solid brix, any chance you would make a moc of the 3 imperial venators destroying kamino?
Best solid Brix video yet
You gotta buy a 4th so you can hang it on a wall and have the venator crashing from the last episode of the clone wars. Add some cloud and smoke pieces and break off some of the engines. Add a little Rex's y wing, too
I love that Imperial Venator. I may have to pick up two and make a giant coffee table display case.
"This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them!"
Me without the money to even buy 1 Venator...
"I will construct a fleet of galaxtic proportions comprised of all variations!!"
Ill be honest, when I get mine ill keep it stock. I love the UCS ISD but the red accents in the Venator are just soo nice.
I don’t get why everyone hates the red bridge in the first place. It adds some color to a Star Wars ship
I love the UCS Venator and I like the Imperial modification which I might try one day if I get another UCS Venator, just to have both styles. I also wanted to go fantasy and make a special 501st Legion Venator by replacing all the red tiles with blue ones.

It would be amazing to have a micro build hangar that you cloud open, the inside has enough space for it
The swappable bridges I will do at least, keeping the extra bridge section I'm not using near the set so I know where it is
He should make the destroyed kamino moc
Excuse me, a fourth??? Brother pulling money off trees
Kind of a random request but I’ve never seen a LEGO creator make a fleet battle moc. It would be interesting to see how one would go about building that and I think you would be the person with that creative ability
Crazy idea, do the venator landing gear
There any way we could get a parts swap out list and maybe instruction to make these changes. Would make for an interesting video!
Love the Imperial conversion! Long live the empire!
Do you think you can mod in an interior somewhere in the venator?
The venator we didn’t know we needed
I hope they do the Victory Class Star Destroyer or any Star Destroyer variant
I really like these mod videos
looks epic i wish to have one heh need to stick to smaller sets sadly ;p
I hope someone comes up with a way to create a hangar interior while maintaining structural integrity
Now we need a mod for the main hangar
gonna need a tutorial or instructions for the imperial gunship
we were all waiting for one of the mods to be opening the middle of the venator..
Im just waiting for someone to mod and interior for the side sections or make the doors open, even if there isnt interior space there
