LEGO Star Wars Sequel Trilogy retrospective 4: My Favorite Builds! 

Jangerine

Is that an insult or compliment

@@ballyboi3365 compliment

Omg XD

the TIE Interceptor he uses in RoS is his coworker's sedan

this is literally true lol

Accurateeee

Why would you say something so controversial yet so true

Lol

It works better for ground bombing but it's dog____ in space combat and you need to take out the anti aircraft radar as well the opponents starfighter contingent.

Yes the set is spectacular, I agree with Jang if I were to pick one "best set" from the sequels I would go for the Resistance Bomber. Like Luis already said, I really think the bomber was built for ground combat with marginal use in space combat, hence why it got torn to shreds. But... with the WWII influence in mind its worth pointing out that B-17 crews IRL had a survival rate that was below 50%. So I think its kind of interesting that Star Wars for once showed off a horrifying realistic bombing run with absolute mortality, compared to the plot armor we normally see protecting ships. There is a really interesting article that dives into the WWII influences in The Last Jedi that brings up while mentioning the Starfortresses compared to say a Y-Wing and their real inspirations: nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/why-the-last-jedi-teaches-us-the-battleship-truly-dead-23765 Its a shame the sequel trilogy on a whole is so uneven, because occasionally it had moments of brilliance that lead to discussions like the one in that article. I kind of am curious to see what the consensus on the Sequels are in another 10 years, since the discussion over the Prequels ended up changing with time. I dunno if I will ever like Rise of Skywalker, first time I ever left a Star Wars movie truly disappointed; but reading the online intercourse from 10 years ago and people were saying that about stuff like Revenge of the Sith. So I dunno, only time will tell.

@@luisemoralesfalcon4716 Even as a ground bomber it would have problems, just put in an Anti Air gun and they're screwed 🤔

This. It’s actually a pretty fun set and worked well when they translated it into Lego. When they get around to remaking episode 8 sets hopefully this will be picked out as something for the resistance side.

In-movie it might have worked better with either armor or a LOT more speed. Or both. But strictly as a Lego build, I actually like it. 🙂

I grew up with jang started watching when I was in middle school. I’m now 19 and watch him sometimes.

I started watching him when I was in kindergarten and now I'm in middle school

You are right

Lol

Lol

Underrated comment LOL

Although it doesn’t have the function where u shoot a hole through the bombing area and the whole thing explodes

So, not really?😅

Yeah, plus Kylo was using his Shuttle by the end of TLJ anyway

I personally think the best in terms of colour design was the 2016 resistance x wing with the blue and grey but I personally think the best one has to be the poes x wing from last year as the wings match perfectly compared to the previous ones.

The grey version wasn’t that bad in my opinion but it was lacking in the movement with the wings and the wings were the wrong color. Aside from that its not a bad set (in my opinion at least.

I actually picked up the other version of Kylo Ren's shuttle and I modded it to let the wings move but it was just really bad still. But on Rebrickable, I found an amazing alternate build to make it a star destroyer. It is a great build that has an interior and the instructions are free.

I guess it’s because by the time Lego made it he had already modded the first one.

@@jkstudios6613 that’s cool

I personally think they have covered as much as they can besides a set based on the duel on Exegol, plus maybe the transport ships that they used to get to Crait and the first order shuttle that Rose and Finn used to get back to Crait.

This was meant to be a real thing as you see it briefly in episode 7 however the original full scene was never made and cut before they got round to shooting the scene. A good set only screwed by lack of screen time and for a lot of people you would be easily mistaken for thinking it didn’t appear at all.

Actually there is aa set you missed out. The Crait Speeder

I have it too! It is fantastic.

Its hard to get them nowadays, I believe

@@BurntTM yea both have been retired for a couple of years at least.

I like the concept art and wish it made it into the film but the Lego set is kinda mediocre. :/

@@barkingapollo the only reasons to buy it are for the flame trooper and general Hux.

I'll start reviewing them as quickly as I can once they're released so I can buy them!

@@JANGBRiCKS nice stuff
