Dig into the details of a relatively obscure Clone Wars-era gunship - and how well the vehicle translates into an upcoming LEGO Star Wars set.
The LEGO Group has selected a surprisingly tough-to-find ship as inspiration for LEGO Star Wars 75354 Coruscant Guard Gunship. Harking from the animated series, The Clone Wars, this specific colour and style of gunship is used to transport the Coruscant Guards on their business (as you might guess from the name). However, the vast majority of the time that we see the Coruscant Guards in the show, they are already in place and on guard, rarely travelling in their own specific vehicles.
Instead, we see them on board private ships of senators or Jedis, or inside or at the entrances of buildings on Coruscant. One of the few exceptions to this, however, is season six, episode seven, ‘Crisis at the Heart’, where Rush Clovis and Padmé Amidala arrive on Scipio on a Republic frigate, escorted by several Coruscant Guard Gunships. Although they remain in the background and we don’t get to see them clearly up close, this is one of the best sightings of this particular style of gunship and there’s enough detail to be able to draw some parallels between the on-screen ships and the newly-revealed brick-built one.

I don’t ask why it was made, I ask why it wasn’t made sooner. It’s such an underrated paint scheme for the LAAT.

I love their reasoning: "It was different so why not" 😂

@DarthVader-gq4ks 9 ай бұрын

Tbh i don't think it's that bad of a reasoning. Especially when you look at the Star Wars theme in general, which often has too many boring remakes (falcon, x-wing, Lukes landspeeder,...). So this line of thought actually makes a lot of sense imo

So happy to hear the designers of our beloved franchise. They get so much hate that is so rare to actually hear them speak. I am so happy that they actually do listen to us and the last couple of years are a proof of that. We wanted clones, we have them. ❤

@themachine3177 20 күн бұрын

but hes just wrong about the access to the interior at least, with the single door its almost impossible to get minifigures into all parts of the main compartment, a double door mod is necessary to fit more than 4 minifigs inside.

Loved the explanation for the gunship. Fragility for the doors heck even the Modders mods are fragile as heck. One thing I wish they can elaborate more is why does figures like Fox have wrong design prints or even Vaughn. I feel like the set itself is talked more in its reason and the figures are never addressed.

I like how Jens (the designer in the grey shirt) gives credit to the younger designers for this set. I would like to see what other fresh ideas the younger designers come up with. Im not a fan of the smaller size of the Gunship, but I can understand making it easier to swoosh for kids. Im guessing the stud shooters were also incorporated to give kids more of a playful experience. Again, not a fan of these, but it is a children’s toy at the end of the day.

Great video! I love these designer interviews, and it would be fascinating to hear what they have to say about each set. Maybe something like a monthly or quarterly Q&A, or even just a short comment from one or two designers about each set would be amazing

I really liked this insight, thank you! It was nice to hear how they feel about things, and intent--and as someone who works on video games, its very heartening to hear about how they listen to, read, are aware of fan mods, and probably internalize a lot of the criticisms and fervor alike.

That Cdr Fox minifig, good lord! So tragic. There are custom printed torsos you can get elsewhere, but even the helmet print is terrible with the thin line on the fin. Yikes!

if you're talking about the pink chest, it's just a lego factory problem, they just can't seem to consistently print white on darker colors. Now for the printing design choices... yes they should have addressed that

I think they would have been better off printing on white torsos instead of red. That way they could get the detail right.

I think the down scaling is better cause it makes it a more realistic toy compared to universe. But the two doors and stud shooters could have bin more realistic.

@laefg 9 ай бұрын

All you said and then \/ 5) Downscaling of the gunship which caused a lot of problems 6) The really thin line on the fin of commander fox and his wrong colored torso and there's some parts of the torso that should have been red not white and no waist cape) 7) Blocky also due to downscaling 8) Helmet holes (Should've done the same thing as clone army customs, Most clone wars fans are old enough to understand how to use clone army custom accessories so lego should've done the same thing)

@michaelfindley9987 9 ай бұрын

It’s even more of a kick in the gut since the UCS gunship isn’t minifig scale either, so even though there are two gunships on the market rn I don’t really feel like either is a viable option
