Apparently I'm not too old for Lego. For my birthday, my buddy Micah got me a sweet Lego "buildable figure," Jango Fett from Star Wars. I haven't played with Lego for an age, so was looking forward to seeing what modern Lego sets are like. This set was for labeled 7-12 year olds, so I think I am just qualified to build it. It has 32 pages of instructions, which seemed like a lot for one figure. There are lots of detailed sections to assemble, I found out! Assembling it didn't take long. I did mess up one part and had to take apart and rebuild part of Jango to get his jet pack to fit on properly. Otherwise, I enjoyed building him and seeing all the parts come together. It's a weird sense of satisfaction, since you are just following the step-by-step instructions. But I still felt a little swell of pride when it all came together at the end. It's a pretty cool looking action figure. It's got many points of articulation for whatever action pose you want to put Jango in.
It even has a rocket on his back that you can "launch," which is a nice detail. Jango Fett was fun to assemble and pose. Lego really knows how to create an engaging building experience, which I suppose I should not be surprised by. There's something kinesthetically pleasing about clicking together the different pieces and feeling the build come together piece by piece. And now I have to admit, I really want Lego General Grievous. Aside from the main plot, we know precious little about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The first spinoff revolves around a group of Rebel soldiers who set out to steal plans for the Death Star. Aside from that, no official characters have been revealed. We know the cast, but not whom they are playing. Then there are the rumors that a number of iconic Star Wars characters will appear at some point in the movie. Darth Vader is said to have a sizable role. And a young Han Solo is expected to make a cameo. But now, we have what could be proof that another original trilogy character may be showing up in some capacity.
Yes, it sounds like Boba Fett is going to be showing up at some point in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, even though the character is heavily rumored to be getting his own spinoff in 2020. Even if Boba doesn't show his face, it seems certainly possible that his iconic ship the Slave-1 will be doing a flyby.The idea that Boba Fett is showing up in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is not a new one. In fact, the bounty hunter has been rumored to be part of the story since it was announced. Now there is evidence to support that. The Nuremberg Toy Fair has been ongoing this past weekend, and the LEGO presentation used a photo of the Slave-1 to represent the Rogue One LEGO sets coming our way soon.While this was an official presentation, there was no explanation as to why the Slave-1 was being used as a placeholder for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. And it's possible they just thought it was a cool Star Wars photo to use. The fact that the Slave-1 is being used during this presentation shouldn't be taken as any kind of confirmation that Boba Fett will actually show up.
The Slave-1 in the photo has a slightly different paint job. The ship has been around for awhile, and belonged to Boba's dad Jango Fett before the infamous bounty hunter claimed it as his own. Both Boba and his dad have made numerous modifications to the ship throughout the years. It wouldn't be so weird if the ship got a new paint job.One thing that can't be overlooked is that perhaps this is not the Slave-1, but just a ship of the same model. The Slave-1 is a Kurat Systems Engineering Firespray-class interceptor, and during the timeline shown in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the vehicle is out of date. There aren't too many of these flying around the galaxy. There is also some speculation that another third party has stolen the Slave-1 and is in possession of it during Rogue One, much like we saw with the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.Another rumor that has been floating around is that Felicity Jones, who is said to be playing Rebel pilot Lyra Erso, is actually Boba Fett's daughter.
Other rumors claim that she is actually the daughter of Mads Mikkelsen's character. Perhaps Lyra Erso is borrowing her dad's ride? And then, perhaps, as we've seen with other toys released in conjunction with the movie, it's not in the film at all. Perhaps the first Rogue One: A Star Wars Story trailer will drop during Super Bowl 50, and we'll learn more than. Take a look at the photo of Slave-1 in question.More #LEGO#StarWars Reveals from Nuremberg! #RogueOne & a Droid Tales-esque series titled The Freemaker Adventures. The —known in Mando'a as the Mando'ade, or "Children of Mandalore"—were a nomadic group of clan-based humans consisting of members from multiple species and multiple genders, all bound by a common culture. They are from the planet of Mandalore and they commonly act like and mercenaries. The leader of the mandalorians typically takes the title of "Mand'alor", which was the name of their first leader, whose planet was named after him in honor. The Mandalorian clans were led by the
mysterious "Mand'alor The First" and were ranked among the best fighters of the galaxy, thriving on battle. They were known for their great weaponry and strict code of honor. These Mandalorians wear Crusader Armor that differs from one soldier to the next. The bounty hunter Jango Fett, was given a set of their armor, which was later passed on to his clone son, Boba Fett. Each minifigure has a jetpack and a helmet, similar to Jango Fett's. Another famous Mandalorian in the Star Wars universe is Sabine from Star Wars Rebels TV Series and LEGO subseriess . Minifigures have a lot of colours. The minifigure has nice armor plating detail and it usually comes with a normal LEGO Star Wars blaster. All mandalorians have a jetpack.Pre Vizsla has a darksaber, Jango Fett has 2 short blasters and Boba Fett has his classic rifle. The Mandolorian minifigures were first included in 2011, in the set Mandalorian Battle Pack. It included 4 Mandolorian minifigures, with various weapons and speeders.
