  Kinda sad how the astromech droid is literally the LEGO colors but the McDonald’s brand is way more recognizable

  Super disappointing that no one is talking about how the astromech is named Lego and it is the logo colors. Yes it also looks like a McDonald’s droid but the fact that no one is mentioning the other side of it is is kinda weird.

  The swapping wings are known as “Uglies” in SW and are part of the lore, usually used by pirates who take remnant pieces from space battles to build these strange mashups.

  What's funny about the gimmick of the wings is the engines for the X-Wing are on the wings while the TIE Fighters engine is on the main body so one gets double the engine power while the other gets nothing.

  the "L3-G0" is an easter egg for "lego" and it also has the same colors as the lego logo

  This set isn't about what's canon or not, it's about celebrating LEGO star wars as a theme. All the minifigs are named as refernces to themes or other lego related terms and the whole concept of swapping feels like a great way to kick start a kids imagination. Looks to me like a great set.

  The best part about this new X-Wing, in my opinion, is the angled sides of the nose. If they could use that technique on the 2019 X-Wing, I think that would look perfect.

  Both characters’ names are jabs at LEGO-related things. Greebling’s name is self explanatory, whereas Scala’s is an on-the-nose reference to SCALA, the Lego jewelry theme from the 90s I think it was.

  These mashups were called &quot;Uglies&quot; back in the discarded expanded universe books from the 90s. It&apos;s actually kind of nice seeing them being recanonized under disney. Post-war groups would slap together whatever parts left over from the war that they could salvage to make anything flyable.

  As an avid x-wing collector, I gotta say, I’m definitely buying this. That x-wing shape-wise is very good. Idk if I’ll wait for a sale, but I’m honestly pleasantly surprised as to how these 2 ships look, wasn’t expecting to like them
